Mobile Plans with Data Shaping & Not Excess Charges

MaMan on 26/12/2022 - 17:14

I have been on the search for mobile plans where you do not get slugged with excess charges for exceeding data quotas. So I am on the look out for providers that shape data.

I have 5 family members all with Aldi Mobile using "part of the Telstra network" on the $15 3GB plan. We do not use a lot of mobile data but when we use it Aldi Mobile is very slow, especially where we live.

I have spent sometime searching out alternative plans that are competitively priced (for 5 SIMS) that have low data quotas and no excess data charges but I am struggling to find any.

Keen to know if there are others in my situation that may have come up with some other options? I have 3 younger kids with their own phones and controlling their mobile data use at times has been a challenge so want to avoid the risk of excess charges.

Thanks in advance.

    Why not 365 prepaid. Choose one with low data. Set data restricitons in the phone to 3gb a month. That'll be cheaper than monthly postpaids.

      Thanks. The cost upfront for 5 sims would be a struggle for me right now.

    Belong mobile have it. The cheapest plan is $15 per month after the 1st month.
    Old post here for more info.

    If you go over your included data allowance, your speed will be capped at 1Mbps but we won’t charge you extra.

        Just letting you know that aldi and belong use the same Telstra MVNO network. If you struggle with data speeds on Aldi it will be the same with belong.

          Depends if it is the cell half of the network, or congestion on the back haul.

      That month to month deal ($15) doesn't exist for new sign-up's any longer.

      • MaMan on 26/12/2022 - 17:45

        Yep. Just saw that on the link too… Not available for new sign up's

        Did you click on the 2nd link? It's available for new customers after the 1st month.

        Edit - Oh they've changed the wording. Yeah I'm not sure now.
