The cheapest mobile plans in Australia are typically SIM-only and prepaid, offering no contracts and great flexibility. Occasionally, postpaid plans with introductory discounts can be even cheaper. Prepaid plans may include monthly, long-term, or short-term options, while postpaid plans can be either contract-based or contract-free.
Taking advantage of introductory offers – valid for a few months (typically for the first purchase, 3 months, or 6 months) – can yield significant savings. Switching providers regularly without changing your phone number is an easy way to save more. For those preferring stability, non-discounted cheap plans are also available.
Cheap mobile plans for $10 or less
For $10 per month or less, you can find excellent value in affordable mobile plans, whether you’re focused on minimizing cost per GB or maximizing overall savings. However, many of these plans see a significant price hike after the promotional period ends. It’s essential to review the standard (non-discounted) pricing for a realistic view of your long-term costs.
Unfortunately, within the under $10 price range, you’re unlikely to find monthly plans that use the Telstra network.
