TPG has this $1/mth 50MB Prepaid (with initial minimum charge of $31 from $1/mth + $20 Prepayment + $10 sim). Standard calls are 9.9c per min (2 min call = 29.8c including 10c flagfall). Sms are 9.9c each. 10c per 1MB excess data (charged per KB or part thereof). More details in the Critical Information Summary. Underlying network is Vodafone.
better off with aldi $15 GO plan for the year
Because they would be happy to save 2 bucks. Lol
the plan has been at OZ for 5+ years
This, been using it forever for the spare phone.
And $11 port out fee as per point 8 on the last page of https://tpg.com.au/sites/default/files/doc/Mobile_T4G_Brochu…
this has been around for yonks and is standard pricing. the $20 pre-payment is a pita and keeps topping up every time your balance drops below $10
TPG's non refundable deposits and fees are not worth the hassle. They hound you relentlessly for the $11 cancellation fee. The $15 ALDI SIM is a better option for long expiry dates.
50mb is nothing these days and the excess data charge of 10c per mb is ridiculous.
with initial minimum charge of $31 from $1/mth + $20 Prepayment + $10 sim).
Plus the porting out fee! Dont even bother
$10 for the SIM?? Wow !!
Great for receiving work or affairs calls and txt.
Better value is the $30 voda sim for $9 at Coles right now, which you can put on 365 long life prepaid!
May I ask which kind of plan it is?
What a joke & nonsense company TPG is - $10 sim fee ? Highest margin for a mudune product.
+$20 Prepayment + $10 Sim Charge
I'd say that's a minus - minus then minus another $11 when you get fedup & leave!
Just when you think they can't fleece you any more…..you read the PDS

they obviously think there's still some suckers out there they haven't already conned.
Seems like a good option for keeping a number alive.
Aldi payg $15 365 day expiry

Looks like Vodafone has $10/365 days plan too
https://www.vodafone.com.au/support/prepaid/365-plus
the Vod one seems no longer available
Don't forget the exit fee you'll pay shortly afterwards after you realise how bad TPG is!!
Wow! Did not realize there is so much hate @ TPG. Lesson learnt lol!
Just got one to use for a solar inverter to upload its data in a house that doesn't have permanent internet. Just need an old 4G USB modem and router.
Glad it works for your situation, as long as you are aware of all costs that TPG charges. From the 7 negs you know that this particular deal from TPG is not popular with ozbargainers LOL!
Worst case the inverter needs more data and uses too much excess, well just dump it and it'll have cost $31. Worth trying.
It'd probably work as a receive only or emergency call phone if you turned off data and only updated the phone over wifi (or in a dumb phone).
Hope it works for you mate! :-)!
It's unclear to me how anyone could consider this convoluted pricing structure attractive over paying, say, $5/mo.
