Contract phone plans are a bad deal: not only are you stuck with the same phone and network for two years, you often end up with smaller data and call allowances than with a no-contract prepaid or month-by-month deal. We've eliminated the also-rans and come up with one firm recommendation for the best value no-contract prepaid deal on each of Australia's mobile networks.
Prepaid mobile plans are great if you want to stick to a budget, but which plan should you pick if you want the best possible data experience?
Data allowances on mobile phone plans and mobile are much more generous than they used to be, but the volume on offer doesn't tell the whole story. Depending on exactly how your mobile provider counts data can make a huge difference to how quickly you burn through it. Planhacker rounds up the current policies for every mobile provider in Australia.
Naughty, naughty. This advertisement for Lebara (seen at Sydney's Wynyard Station) states that its unlimited plan includes 3GB of data each month, but a quick check of the relevant page on its site shows that it actually offers 2GB.
