Recently shifted my mobile to Woolworths Mobile as I think they have the best deals of the Telstra MVNOsfor low-medium data users (Aldi is also good), particularly if you regularly shop at Woolworths.
Unlikely to suit heavy data users.
Benefits
- Telstra network in the whole
- 10% once only monthly Woolworths shopping discount when linked to rewards cards
- Decent app for monitoring usage
Negatives
- Telstra wholesale network (means it doesn't get the most remote areas, but full network elsewhere)
- Download speed capping
- No 5G (personally 4G speeds are more than sufficient despite having a 5G capable phone)
- No VoWifi or VoLTE (can be useful if you have bad reception at home). Supposedly coming soon as Telstra looks to reallocate 3G network
- No visual voicemail if you use that, just voicemail via 141.
The long expiry plans are the standouts for me:
- $65 180 days 15GB data (2.5GB per 30 days) with rollover and gifting
- $150 365 days 100GB data (8.3GB per 30 days) with rollover and gifting
I'm on the latter.
Woolworths occasionally do 50% off the sign-up packs in store/online. If you buy say the $40 pack for $20 you can then pay the difference when signing up to get the higher plans...
Referral program.
You sign up and stay for 3 months on any plan, then apply code in mobile app, we both get a $10 gift voucher (smartly limited to 5 referrals every 12 months)
My code - EF68F8
Note you can only have one 10% discount per Woolworths Rewards card.. some people are known to juggle cards
