‘Unlimited’ Pre-Paid Mobile: What Do You Really Get?

Just how ‘unlimited’ are Australia’s unlimited pre-paid mobile phone services? We compare the small print of each telco to see how much phone usage is actually permitted — along with your chances of getting disconnected from the service if you overstep the mark.


People Are Still Buying Kogan Mobile

Our report earlier this week about how Kogan Mobile is enforcing its acceptable usage policy triggered a wave of mainstream media coverage and lots of complaints from angry customers. However, it doesn’t seem to have stopped people signing up for the service.


Kogan Mobile Dumping High-Usage Customers

With the offer of unlimited Australians calls and texts and 6GB of data on a Telstra network for $29 a month, Kogan Mobile has been a popular prepaid choice since its launch last December. But like most unlimited plans, the company’s acceptable usage policy (AUP) allows it to ditch customers whose usage is deemed “unreasonable”, and it seems Kogan Mobile is actively pursuing that policy and getting rid of some high-volume users.


Would You Call On An ALDI Network?

ALDI has sold plenty of cheap gadgetry over the years, including tablets. Its latest rumoured move will see it launch into the competitive Mobile Virtual Network Operator space, reportedly reselling Telstra coverage in the same style as Kogan Mobile. How well will that work out?

Comparing Prices At Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Dick Smith And Kogan

Credit Suisse regularly compares pricing for selected consumer electronics at large Australian retailers. Its most recent comparison unsurprisingly pegs Harvey Norman as the most expensive retailer and notes that online retailer Kogan undercuts all its bricks-and-mortar rivals. Perhaps a little more surprisingly, it pitches Dick Smith as slightly cheaper than JB Hi-Fi.


Kogan’s $149 Dual-SIM Android Agora Phone

Online retailer Kogan has been trying to launch an Android phone since 2008. It has finally happened, and the specifications for the new Agora Android phone look quite impressive: a 5-inch screen, a dual-core Cortex A9 processor and a dual-SIM slot (handy for travellers). At $149 (plus shipping), it’s also one of the cheaper Android 4.0.4 devices on the market.


How Does Kogan’s Mobile Offering Stack Up?

Kogan announced overnight a very cheap mobile prepaid deal using Telstra’s older 3G network. Is it actually good value?
