Value Pack updates August 2016
We are pleased to announce we are making improvements to some of our Value Packs from 17th August 2016 to provide you with even more value for money.

The changes apply to our L, XL and XXL Value Packs and the new inclusions are shown in the comparison table below, but here is a summary of the changes:

More value, no increase in price

International minutes
From 17th August, the L Value Pack will come with international calls.
100 minutes to selected international numbers included, for no extra price.
Increased data
The XL pack will come with 6GB of data included (that's 1GB extra for no extra charge).

The XXL pack will now come with a huge 8GB of data included, with no change to the price.

Data rollover
We are excited to announce a brand new feature on some of our plans that will help you get even more value from your ALDImobile service.

For L, XL and XXL Value Packs purchased from 17th August, unused data will rollover at the end of the expiry period; provided you immediately recharge with a Value Pack of the same, or higher, value.

Unused data will rollover for 1 expiry period (and the same unused data can only be rolled over once) and will be used up first before your other data allowances.
Important information:

If you purchase a Value Pack before 17th August 2016, you will receive the current plan inclusions and data will not rollover.
If you have auto-recharge set on your pack and your recharge occurs before 17th August 2016 you will receive the current plan inclusions, all recharges that occur on the 17th August 2016 or after this date will automatically include the new plan inclusions and data rollover

    Not a big mobile data user, and have been more than happy with their $15/month S value pack.

    Highly recommend AldiMobile (assuming you get good Telstra wholesale coverage)

      Same here.

      I was with Telechoice on Telstra wholesale 3G only and it was, surprisingly atrocious) - I get better signal on Vodafone through TPG of all people…….

      • railspider on 11/08/2016 - 19:24

        Aldi has access to Telstra 4G wholesale network, which makes a surprisingly big difference in my experience

        • ozhunter68 on 11/08/2016 - 20:58
          +1

          That does not come as a surprise at all. Since 4G has been introduced, in many areas Telstra and Optus has put most of their money and infrastructure in building up their 4G service/towers/4G MHz frequency upgrades and doing little improvements to their 3G. In fact, they often even re-frame some 3G towers to 4G.

          Unless you have a phone capable of picking up all the local 3G as well as 4G bands with the right bands for your area, you will be getting a reduced/slow/no signal, especially in regional/rural areas.

          Vodafone has been building up their 3G as well as 4G coverage and speed in many places, catching up and even surpassing either Optus or Telstra, sometimes even both in some areas.

          Saying that, there is ample room in Australia for all Telcos to not only improve speeds, but also coverage in many places.

      • pencilman on 12/08/2016 - 00:57

        Telechoice has had 4G with Telstra wholesale for some months now. Signal excellent in Melbourne and elsewhere in Vic when I have travelled.

        • hamwhisperer on 12/08/2016 - 23:39

          Too late they lost me, maybe I'll go back one day but the 3G services wewre (surprisingly!) appalling even close to the CBD.

          Yeah, I have noticed this too. People here get negged just for sharing their own true experience. I guess, it's because when someone (real) experience doesn't match with the person's (who is negging) experience, they neg you. Which I think is not a valid reason for negging anyway.

          Oh, that's the prepaid I'm guessing? I was thinking of the s7 edge 24 month deal that ends tonight.

      Woolies mobile doesn't have the network Aldi has.

    • paul11 on 12/08/2016 - 16:25

      Same here, Woolies gives you 3GB of data with "data rollover" for $27/month (10% off through Woolworths rewards). So for extra $2, you get an extra 1GB data.

      • solar on 13/08/2016 - 11:48
        +1

        The international rates are vastly different though. Aldi $25 plan and Woolies $27 both include $100 of international calls, but Aldi charges $0.10/minute to North America where Woolies charges $1/minute. That's 10 times the price!

        • Ivan Krazy on 13/08/2016 - 17:47

          Sure it does, but Woolworths provides more international countries and I can call Croatia for example. Whereas ALDI mobile doesn't have this listed so it's not included. I guess it depends on your needs.

  • gooddealmate on 11/08/2016 - 17:55

    Mentioned this yesterday on the Vaya deal. Paying $35 a month with Jeenee Mobile gives much better value if Optus is good for you.

          @lovepeoplenotmoney: It would be if they had the same rates but Aldi charge $10 more a month for the same 8GB. Who in their right mind would pay that just for the benefit of rollover?

          @gooddealmate: I'm thinking about getting my dad onto the $25 plan. He doesn't use nearly as much data as I do, so this will eventually build up and can be used whenever.

        +1

        Both Boost and Telstra could give you better/wider/faster coverage than the Aldi part of 3G/NextG/4G coverage. For many would not make any difference, for others it could mean the difference between getting a signal or not Full Stop. Could also be much faster for regional/rural areas too. Speaking from experience.

          +2

          @tessel: Starter packs are half price more often than not in one of the big stores, or much less than half price on eBay (I'm using a $40 Vodafone plan right now which I got for $12 on eBay).

          Obviously most people wouldn't want to change plan every month, but it's a lucrative and simple procedure (if I was offered some extra work at $28 for 15 minutes I'd certainly take it - same principle!).

        • WatermelonJuice on 12/08/2016 - 19:45

          @tessel: I think he means he submitted that deal. Not that it is current.

        • tessel on 12/08/2016 - 19:50

          @callum9999:
          Yup, I see that. Activate, then something like this? You need to port out the number to another provider and then port back in each month to take advantage of the half price packs you buy? If that is right, then you need a sim to port out to. That wouldn't be a problem if you had free sims to port out to as you renew each month. If you don't care about keeping your number, than obviously it would just be a case of throw away the old sim and activate the new one. However, it's more than likely that I am missing something.

        • callum9999 on 13/08/2016 - 00:25
          +3

          @tessel: You can port at the same time as activation (for the networks I've used anyway). You also don't need to port in and out onto a free sim, just stock up and alternate between networks. E.g. Buy 5 Optus and 5 Vodafone sims then alternate between them month by month.

          I'm adept with computers so it literally takes me 5 minutes to fill out an activation form. If it takes you longer or you're a high earner (unfortunately my time is not worth more than $250 an hour!) then of course it may not be worthwhile.

        • tessel on 13/08/2016 - 06:51

          @callum9999:
          Yup, got it. Thanks. Buy discounted sims from two different networks, then each month port back and fort between networks. That is definitely doable if you live in an area where Optus and Vodafone work great. Obviously also possible on Telstra but Telstra sims expire sooner than other networks (or so I thought) and I guess you'd be stuck with Boost and Telstra discounted sims only. Anyway, thanks for the info. I do agree if you lived in a metro area and were a heavy mobile user, this definitely would be a way to save some money.

        You can buy the SIM online at https://www.aldimobile.com.au/starterpack

        There is no shipping charge, so it's the same price as buying it in the store ($5 and it comes with $5 of credit).

      I believe the coverage is identical - at least in Tasmania that has been the case.

      • decr on 11/08/2016 - 20:31

        Yep, so much better after being able to access 4G even though signal strength is abysmal (as in poor, still works fine though but probably sucks more battery) around Hobart on standard 4G (non 4GX band phone). I've been with ALDIMobile for 3 years, it works, can't be bothered with the hassle of changing as the current M plan suits me fine. Could probably even downgrade to S.

    • onlyme on 11/08/2016 - 20:37

      From my understanding Boost Mobile coverage is better, possibly because Boost is owned by Telstra. I recall Boost covers a greater percentage of the population.

      I'm interested to hear if Aldi and Woolworths coverage is identical (both using Telstra wholesale).

    • ozhunter68 on 11/08/2016 - 21:18

      Boost/Telstra used to be the only ones providing the full speed 3G/NextG service. Not sure if this has since changed and if they all provide equal 4G service/speeds.

      I have heard from Telstra Mobile Technicians that even within Telstra there is a pecking order for mobile connections and speed starting with big business plans, then contracts, Telstra/Boost prepaid, then Network re-sellers.

  • zulus on 11/08/2016 - 19:20

      I was just thinking its cheaper with Aldi to buy a phone plan and use the data than a data only plan (eg 4GB for $30 or 6GB with rollover for $35)

      For you it depends on how much data you use. For example Telstra has 16GB for $140 and 2 years expiry (https://www.telstra.com.au/tablets/prepaid-for-tablets#recha…) which is cheaper than your current plan, just.

    Edit

    Here is the contradicting information

    "Medion Australia Pty Ltd. trading as ALDImobile uses part of Telstra’s 4G mobile network. The mobile product of ALDImobile provides a combined 4G and 3G coverage footprint of 98.5% and a 4G coverage footprint of 92% of the Australian population covering 1.3 million square kilometres. 3G handsets will only receive 3G coverage."

      That's not contradictory, both statements are true. Not everyone has a 4G phone.
