My last mobile bill was embarrassingly large…..
So big I’m ashamed to write down the figure. In a bid to justify that cost (even to you), I do use it for work A LOT, and I also use my phone to play Song Pop because – it is Song Pop and I freaking rock at 90’s music quizzes!
So, if you’re like me, you should get the best deals in your mobile and data plans so you can use your phone for all the things you love, without getting a fright when the bill arrives!
These are the cheapest mobile and data plans I could find on the internet. Now they won’t suit everyone because some don’t come with much data (and some of us need that) – but some (like the Kogan one) is pretty darn good. I think if you are purchasing a mobile phone for a teenager, plans like these below would be brilliant or for parents who aren’t super tech savvy.
Save some money and shop around!

Southern Phone offers both mobile plans and sim only plans – depending on your usage! More of an ‘All Inclusive’ phone provider – they offer bundle deals on your internet, home phone (if you have or want one) – mobile phone (if you want a new handset) and Data Usage. They also have plans depending on whether you are on the NBN or ADSL network.

Catch Connect is an off-shoot of the Catch of the Day website. They offer loads of deals for all types of mobile phone user. Of course if you sign up for a whole year, this is where you get the best and cheapest deals. But even if you only needed a phone plan for 30 days – they do offer that too!
