Telstra mobile plans review
Telstra boasts Australia's largest mobile network, which can be a key point of difference for those living in rural or regional areas.
The caveat is its prices can be steep, and not everyone will need the extra perks Telstra offers, like earning Telstra Plus points for rewards, getting the latest phone on a plan or taking advantage of its handy mobile app or streaming freebies.
If you're keen to stick to a budget, a smaller provider using the Telstra network may be a better option.
Pros
- Access to the largest 4G and 5G networks in Australia
- Multiple customer support options
- Option to add on international roaming if you're heading overseas
- No lock-in contract across all plans and the option to sign up via eSIM if you have a compatible handset
Cons
- Plans are expensive compared to other providers

Hi!
I simply need a sim that has a long expiry date, 12 months, for the cheapest price. I also need minimal data and calls provided. It will not be used every week. I’m finding it hard to locate, an option suitable for my needs, amongst all the other prepaid plans; or perhaps everything has changed and I’m unaware. Please note I will not use vodafone; directly or indirectly any more.
Thank you

Hi I’ve just set up a landline 1000gig data with Telstra. For $90 My question is can I get Netflix added to this deal for free or how much will it be extra?
Hi John!
Thanks for the comment.
Netflix is not part of your subscription with Tesltra bundle. If you wish to have it added , you can choose among these monthly subscriptions: Basic ($8.99), Standard ($11.99) or Premium ($14.99). You can check how they differ to each other by checking this link https://www.findershopping.com.au/internet-tv/netflix-australia. Also, you can proceed with the service application by clicking the “”See Content””green button.
Hope this clarifies.
