MATE has released a refreshed range of postpaid mobile plans that include increased monthly data allowances and data banking options.

An exclusive elite mates 70GB postpaid plan is available for $40/month as part of the refresh. This plan is only available via the unique link above, if you use the normal website this plan is $50/month.

This is a postpaid plan (not prepaid) and uses the Telstra Wholesale Network. See a coverage map.

Other mobile plans are also available:

• good mates 10GB ($20/month) | up to 150GB data bank
• better mates 20GB ($25/month) | up to 200GB data bank
• great mates 30GB ($30/month) | up to 250GB data bank
• best mates 40GB ($35/month) | up to 300GB data bank

All plans include unlimited talk and text. You can transfer your existing mobile number once you receive the SIM card (2-10 business days delivery via Aus Post) by activating it online.

All plans except for the good mates 10GB come with a TIDAL Premium music subscription service valued at $11.99/month and include unlimited international calls & SMS to 15 selected countries.

  JB just offered 80GB Telstra for $69/Mo with $500 voucher the other day (which you will easily sell for $400 cash worst case, probably more like $450).

  That includes more data, and 5G access for an effective cost of $36 a month worst case or as low as $31.50 if you get a full $450 for it. Also the website is a bit confusing but what happens after data is used up? Is data stopped all together or is excess data just slowed?

  Sure it’s a lock in contract, but it’s still cheaper in the long run by 20% give or take.

  The only benefit I can see from this is international calling inclusions.

    If you exceed your monthly included mobile data, and any data remaining in your data bank, your data will be capped and no more mobile data will be available until you roll over into the next billing month.

    If you wish to add any excess data once your value has been exceeded, there is the option available to add a 1GB bolt-on for $10.

      Ok well in that case, it seems going JB is better which gives:

      5G
      No excess data charges
      Cheaper if you sell the voucher and also possible to potentially score an additional $10 per month through chat.

      Unless you:
      1. Want a no lock in contract
      2. Need international calling which costs extra with Telstra.

    If you don't want to necessarily switch plans after 12 months the telstra deal gets more expensive though. Assuming you get $450 back off the gift card it's about $50 a month if you stay on it for 2 years.

    I think there's good reasons to go with either. The pull for me is no lock in contract, less effort cause I don't need to sell a gift card or find something to buy in store, 5g isn't important to me as my area isn't covered, also the included music streaming subscription will save me money.

  Received an SMS from Mate telling me the additional monthly data allowance will be applicable to me, an already existing customer, so that's great without even asking them. I've also been connected to their 250/50 NBN plan and I can't complain, no dropouts in the 2 months I've been with them. I used to average 220Mbps download in peak hours but noticed last week that it's upped to 250Mbps even at peak evening hours. I used to be an ISP slut but given the good experience with Mate, I might stay with them unless a real killer deal comes by.

  Keen to switch over if no excess data charges (just capped slow speed when data allowance used up like Telstra) until then No mate

    There are no automatic extra charges - if you exceed your monthly data and any amount in your data bank, your data will be capped and no more mobile data will be available until you roll over into the next billing month.

    If you wish to add any excess data once your value has been exceeded, there is the option available to add a 1GB bolt-on for $10, however, you do so manually if you choose - this is not automatic.

  Is data pooling/sharing available? Might work out for the wifey and my iPad that way…

    Associatedrfc850 @ Mate Communicate on 30/06/2021 - 17:42

    Data pooling/sharing isn't available at this stage.

  No VoLTE. um.. internet will go down during phone calls.

    Associatedrfc850 @ Mate Communicate on 30/06/2021 - 18:15

    The internet will not go down, it will just revert to the 3G network while on a call.
