VIDEO: The best mobile plans right now
Looking for a better mobile deal? Start with these Finder Award-winning providers.
There are hundreds of mobile plans on offer in Australia. How do you find the right one?
To make that task easier, our expert team assessed 258 mobile plans from 48 providers and picked out the best ones for the 2024 Finder Mobile Awards.
Last weekend, I popped up on the Today show to discuss the winners and offer some tips on how to choose the best plan for you.
Check out the full segment.
My key tip when picking a new mobile plan? Remember, you probably don't need as much data as you think.
The average Australian only uses 12.8GB a month.
Chances are if you're paying for 40GB a month, you're paying for data you'll never actually use.
As I point out in the clip, I'm a massive geek and think of myself as using a lot of data, but my own monthly usage is only just above that figue.
The other key tip? Don't just stick with the big brands.
Many of the best deals come from other providers. They're running on the same networks, but you will typically pay much less than the average $53 a month Australians pay for their mobile plan.
Compare mobile plans to find the best deal for you and start saving.
