Phone Plan That Is > 40 GB a Month?

Ridiculous Panda on 30/04/2022 - 13:46

Hi..
I usually use 30+ gb data monthly. Currently with felix (vodafone) paying $35 for unlimited data with 20mbps speed limit.

Reception is not too bad until I drive on a freeway or go out of town on a roadtrip.

I am happy with it but am I paying too much considering it is Vodafone service with limited speed? Are there better deals out there with at least 40gb monthly data? I would mind paying a bit more for a Telstra reseller.

    You can get 40Gb from Belong for $35. They have the best coverage of the Telstra resellers.

      Thank you. Will look into it :)

        I may have confused Belong with Boost. šŸ˜ Boost use the full Telstra network. Cost $50 for 40Gb+ though.

          Yes, it seems you have.

          Boost might be a littlre more expensive than other resellers, but you also get a much better network (no 5G, though).

      Use the online mobile plan comparison sites
      Plenty to choose from at various prices

      Depends how fussy you are with coverage though

    Best plans are usually the JB Telstra deals, $59/69 a month offset by a big ol' giftcard, 100GB of data. Although it's generally more useful if you're in the market for a new phone.

    Otherwise if you shop at Woolworths, 42GB a month and a 10% discount on one shop for $35. However it's not the full telstra network, I'm on this and find it's nothing like when I was on Boost. There's also data banking for those months you use less data.

    Numobile might be a good choice because they use the full 4GB network like Boost but are a little bit cheaper. I've never used them though, no idea what support is like.

      Yeah I miss the Jb Hifi deals. Was on them for the best part of the past few years. I have actually been waiting for too long for a good deal to be back but looks like those days are over! Will look into the other suggestions. Cheers

      Yeah I don't understand how people use so much mobile data unless they don't have NBN.

        4 words: no wifi at work

          I don't use work wifi, mainly because I'm too busy working…

      I didnā€™t get the joke and Iā€™m not going to google it but it is mainly live sports when I am not home and a bit of youtube that chews up my data.

      Lots of people will view 4k videos on phones not even realising 720p will look just fine and leave it on auto :/

      • Ridiculous Panda on 30/04/2022 - 21:44

        Not everyone still uses an iphone 6s! Iā€™d rather pay $10 or $15 more a month and enjoy the features of my phone!

          When you can't tell the difference between 1080 and 4k on streaming media on a phone, doing it because you can is peak consumerism.

            @Mechz: No not 4k. I watch in 1080p. I can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on my iphone 13 pro.

          You have a phone with a 4k screen? Sony Xperia?

          If not, you're wasting your data on 4k.

    Gomo $25 per month is 40gb

    I get 40gb a month with Optus for $39. Great coverage and great speed. If you go over they throttle you down. Itā€™s advertised for $49 but if you ask for $39 they will oblige for a year and advise you to ask again in a yearā€™s time. Post paid account month to month.
