Cheap pre paid mobile plans on Telstra network

These have only just come into the market and are on the Telstra 3G network . Not 4G but for those not needing super fast speeds will be brilliant and the coverage is best we can get in Australia.

I like the Kogan unlimited plan for 30 bucks for 30 days with 6g data!!!

Aldi is probably more suited for those who don't use the phone a lot and want a long expiry period

Both different to each other but give you some good talk/text/data plan options

I see these much better then any other competitor here in Australia.

Enjoy

LOL...Being a nice bloke that I am I though I would pass these great plans to everyone without any commission to myself...Only because you are such great chaps!!! bwahhahah

Cheers I was going to check this out and for an old fart who only uses a mobile when on the road the Aldi plan is great 12cent calls v's 30 from Telstra WTF Now I just have to get that SENIORS phone-you know the one with the big letters!!!!!!!

missed it by that much, I was forced to change as "three 333" would no longer exist,
so now on $60 plan with Vodafone. when I'm away anyone on telstra will get reception
but not vodafone. they should have automatic roaming in case of emergencies, ppl do
fall off eskies.

cool thanks, will take a look at them.


Does anyone know if you are on pre-paid and you change provider , anyway you can take your ph number over ?

Bought an Aldi BAUHN Smartphone yesterday. Chucked it on the floor after hours of stuffing about trying to get it going. When it finally did work its signal strength was so p!ss poor that I could not get a connection in the family room where every phone we have ever owned, and every visitor's phone had no trouble connecting. Lucky it didn't break as it is going back tomorrow for a refund - or else!!

You may not have noticed but I am P!SSED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no substitution to getting a well known brand when it comes to phones........... Service plans are another matter altogether

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

I'll try to let you guys know how the Aldi one goes,

My daughter(12) just got her first mobile, prepaid through Telstra, and all she has been getting is text messages and phone calls from unhappy gumtree and ebay customers.

I am heading to the Telstra shop to get her a new number tomorrow but if we don't get any joy there, it will be off to Aldi.

Thanks for the heads up about this too Kris.

Bill,

You shouldn't have any dramas mate Aldi has a pretty good returns policy.

Although it might not hurt to try getting a replacement, as you may have got the one dud one.

Clunks right though, getting a name brand can be the way to go, I am using the Telstra Frontier(ZTE T81) smart phone on account but it was bought as a prepaid($299). I got it as it has a direct aerial connection on the back of the phone and I work in some very mobile patchy areas.

Good luck with it

Something to think about with Kogan mobile and high internet usage. Their fine print states it is for personal use and high usage data users plans can be cancelled???!!!

Cheap and Telstra should not be in the same sentence!

Hey TD - actually - if you make an emergency call any tower, regardless of signal will relay the call.

From another forum where the cheap Kogan & Aldi plans are being discussed.

Whilst the cheaper plans will suit some, they wont suit all. Kogan & Aldi plans use 'part of' the Telstra network.
