Australia’s Cheapest Mobile and Data Plans

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! There are plenty of good and cheap mobile data plans available.

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 or many from Southern Phone) is pretty darn good in both areas. 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! It’s the same product at the end of the day.

1. Southern Phone

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 cheap plans depending on whether you are on the NBN or ADSL network. They often have cheap mobile phone plans and most times are unbeatable.

SIM Only Plans from Southern Phone:

Here is a list of Southern Phone’s offerings for SIM-only plans over a 12 month period (valid until the 30th July 2020)

SIM-Only Month to Month Plans from Southern Phone:

If locking into a 12-month plan isn’t for you – they also have SIM-only plans that are month to month. Prices start from $20 per month.
