Talk & text only / pay as you go
"Pay as you go" plans include no bundled calls, texts, or data -- you're charged per use for everything. They're only worth it for very light or emergency-only use; if you want any calls or texts included, look at the talk & data plans above instead.

How much you save vs. paying monthly
This is not an official industry figure. The $37.00/month average is based on our own database of current Australian mobile plans and includes 30-day, calendar-month, and 28-day plans only. Where a plan has a first-term discount, savings are calculated using its ongoing/renewal price, not the discounted price, so the figure reflects what you can expect to keep saving after any promotional period ends. Savings shown are estimates only and are not guaranteed. They do not include other possible costs such as shipping, SIM card fees, or activation fees. Your actual saving may be higher or lower depending on your own usage and circumstances -- always confirm the final cost directly with the carrier before purchasing.

Which yearly plan suits you?
Very light / backup phone
Talk-only plans; PAYG only for emergencies
If you barely make calls or use data, a talk-only plan avoids paying for allowances you won't use. Pure pay-as-you-go plans (like ALDI Mobile's $2 plan) have no included calls, texts, or data at all -- they're only worth it as an emergency-only backup SIM, not an everyday number.
Everyday phone user
Talk & text + data, 100-300GB
Most people are well covered by a mid-range talk & data plan -- plenty of data for maps, streaming and social media without overpaying.
Heavy data users
High-data or unlimited-style plans
If you tether often or stream a lot, look at the plans offering 300GB+ -- several providers offer this for under $250/year.
Tablet / modem / second SIM
Data-only plans
No need to pay for calls and texts you won't use -- a dedicated data-only SIM is cheaper for a tablet or mobile Wi-Fi device.

How much can you save with a yearly prepaid plan vs. paying monthly?
Based on our benchmark of $37.00/month for an average Australian prepaid plan, switching to a yearly plan could save you an estimated $264.10 a year, depending on which plan you choose. This is not an official industry figure. The $37.00/month average is based on our own database of current Australian mobile plans and includes 30-day, calendar-month, and 28-day plans only. Where a plan has a first-term discount, savings are calculated using its ongoing/renewal price, not the discounted price, so the figure reflects what you can expect to keep saving after any promotional period ends. Savings shown are estimates only and are not guaranteed. They do not include other possible costs such as shipping, SIM card fees, or activation fees. Your actual saving may be higher or lower depending on your own usage and circumstances -- always confirm the final cost directly with the carrier before purchasing.
What is the yearly prepaid plan with the most data?
In our database, the yearly prepaid plan with the most data is the Lycamobile Large Long Term Plan, which includes 900GB for $220.00/year.
Is a yearly prepaid plan worth it in Australia?
For most people, yes -- yearly prepaid plans are usually cheaper per month than paying for a plan monthly, and you only need to top up once a year. In our database, plans currently range from $149.00 to $395.00, with data allowances from 900GB up to 900GB, so there is a yearly option for most budgets and usage levels.
What's the difference between a data-only and a talk & text yearly plan?
A talk & text yearly plan bundles unlimited (or included) calls and texts with a data allowance, and is designed to replace your everyday phone SIM. A data-only plan has no calls or texts included and is designed for tablets, mobile broadband/Wi-Fi devices, or as a second data SIM -- you would need a separate number for calls if required.
