These mobile plans stack up extremely well for overall cost and data allowance over 12 months plus network coverage. You may also get a little something extra such as Wi-Fi calling and data rollover.
7+
Great
These mobile plans are competitively priced and offer a decent amount of data. You might need to compromise just a little bit on extra features.
5+
Standard
Usually these mobile plans are just okay for overall cost over 12 months and the amount of data you're getting in return. Network coverage and extra features can be lacking.
0+
Basic
You can generally do better than what these mobile plans have to offer in terms of cost, data costs, network coverage and features. In short, they're poor value for money.
Get started with a new Konec Mobile plan and Oppo device for just $199.
There's a new kid on the block in the telco space. Konec Mobile says it's launching as an all-in-one solution provider that focuses on the 3 most important areas to Aussie mobile users: value, coverage and convenience.
Let's see what that looks like.
Konec Mobile plans and inclusions
Konec Mobile is keeping things simple off the bat with a choice from 4 prepaid SIM only plans.
Options include a couple of 30-day expiry plans. Those who like their plans to last a little longer can choose between a 90-day and a 365-day long expiry plan.

Konec Mobile: $199 special launch offer
Konec has partnered with retailer Big W to deliver an all-in-one bundle that includes:
An Oppo A57 ($349 RRP)
Konec Mobile Essential SIM plan ($25 value)
You'll save $175 compared to if you bought both the phone and the plan separately. It's not a bad deal at all especially with the cost of living on the rise. You can order through Konec's online store or pop into 1 of 177 Big W stores.
Konec hopes this will be the first in a series of planned partnerships.
General manager Jack Chang said:
"Big W was our partner of choice as we see great synergy with its customer base. The launch bundle is perfect for anyone wanting great value and a quality device without the exorbitant price tag. We're also in talks with different partners – both hardware and service providers – and we hope to introduce many more bundles that will bring added value to customers."
Which mobile network does Konec Mobile run on?
Konec will be running on parts of the Telstra network, covering 98.8% of Australians. It's not the same as being on the full Telstra network. However, compared to those on the Optus or Vodafone networks, Konec customers will still come out on top in coverage.
5G won't be available just yet.
How does Konec Mobile compare?
With low prices, its phone bundle and the top-tier Telstra network on its side, Konec certainly ticks the boxes on value, convenience and coverage.
Of course, it's not the only provider in the low-cost space. Among other providers on Telstra's network alone, its 22GB has similar prices to ALDI Mobile and Better Life Mobile while its $35 offering isn't dissimilar from plans from Exetel (except for a few GBs more). They're all some of the cheapest plans for that data amount of those we compare on Finder.
Compare these other prepaid plans to get a better idea yourself of how Konec Mobile's plans stack up.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
