        first in your needed area by buying a cheap on sale 28 day sim first at the low cost of $1-$18 for 7 to 28 days ?

      I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss; I was on the Telstra network for a good while, paying the premium as well with being with Telstra, and switching over to Felix I actually found my coverage was as good - if not better (eg. Having coverage throughout the whole of the airport tunnel in Sydney, which you don’t get at all with Telstra).

      I’ve been with Felix now for about 12 months and it has been great. I don’t feel the urge for a second to switch back to Telstra to pay extra for less coverage.

    Their support and network is worse.. Stay away from them… On sat/sun if you try to port out and there is an issue then you have to wait till monday to get is resolved.. Even on weekdays the support is not 24/7.

    For network issues, their network will go off suddenly and you will be completely cut off… During normal days.. people will not be able to call you bcs you will be unreachable even though you have full signal

      • wisdomtooth on 16/02/2026 - 18:55

            @jjj123: Gemini was helping me troubleshoot my home network, I just mentioned I used Felix, and it offered me this little pearl of wisdom:

            Felix’s terms explicitly forbid using the SIM as a "home internet replacement" or in a "modem." They detect this by looking at the TTL (Time to Live) value of your data packets.

            • The Mechanism: When a packet leaves your phone, it has a TTL (usually 64). If it passes through a router first, the router subtracts 1 (TTL becomes 63). Felix sees "63" and knows you are tethering.

                @Micky14: After testing, the speed is still shitty. I think Felix doesn't love me. Will have to go to Telstra or Boost.
                Felix speed from 1.x~10M during evening. High pings. 🤦‍♂️

        What 5g modem you using

      • wisdomtooth on 17/02/2026 - 06:53

        What's the point of a 5G modem, if you're capped at 40 Mbps?

        • brianmau on 17/02/2026 - 08:40

          You want it to stay at a particular band combination to make it go "past" 40Mbps and have a good ping time (~20ms in my case). It'll go up to 80-90Mbps (for a few seconds) until throttling kicks in. Even in the 20Mbps era I was getting like 50Mbps "initial" speed with 5G. When I was using a Huawei B818 in 4G in the 4G/20Mbps era it also seemed to happily "speeding" past 20Mbps most of the time when carrier aggregated in a particular combination of bands.

    • jjj123 on 17/02/2026 - 15:03

      i used the sim in the router for years, but i am only using less than 500G per month.

    • Wardaddy on 18/02/2026 - 19:17

      I use it instead of NBN, in 4G mode, USB tethered to a router. No point in 5G, it's 40 Mbps (although I usually get 45). No problem in the last three years of doing this. Last year they switched from IPv4 to IPv6, so you have to adjust for that. I use a GL-iNet Slate router (A1300).

      I'm using it for the past 3 years, earlier it was 20Mbps speed cap, and increased to 40Mbps in Aug'2025.
      I had paused my Plan, and Felix gave me a returning-customer offer of 60% off for 4 months in Aug'2025 (so, $16 per month for Unlimited Data), so I took the offer and resumed my service.

      I get consistent 40Mbps download and 30Mbps upload speed with 5G network, indoor as well.
      Happy with them so far, and I use around 400 GB per month.

      Everyone complains about their network. But statistically Vodafone is the worst.

      Although you're likely to have a much better time with it in Brisbane. Mobile network performance is mostly a function of spectrum allocation and VF has a lot of it in Brisbane. Whereas Optus dominates in Melbourne and Sydney and Telstra on the GC.

        From your link :-

        Vodafone Wins Consistent Quality Outright
        After jointly winning Consistent Quality with Optus in the last report, Vodafone has pulled ahead and won outright with a score of 80.6%. This score is an improvement from 78.7% in the last report, ahead of both Telstra (79.9%) and Optus (78.2%).

        Care to reassess your comment?

        • tp0 on 19/02/2026 - 10:45

          I would agree Vodafone is very consistent, it's one of the qualities of the network.

          In Melbourne at least it is consistently slow and the data shows that. That's not as much as an issue on one of these capped Felix plans but it isn't great if you're paying full price from Vodafone direct.

  • ShouldIBuyIt on 16/02/2026 - 14:41

    What's pretty cool is you can pause your plan (I think up to 12 months) but you can still receive calls and SMS.

    • djoz on 16/02/2026 - 15:21
      +7

      Yes, pausing the plan was earlier allowed for 10 months or so. Now, they have reduced it to 119 days (effective 23-Jul-2025)
      When you pause your plan, you service continues till the last day of the current cycle, plus 2 additional days (grace) - they give this without any charges. After the 2 days grace, your pause starts and you can keep the number for 119 days. As per their FAQ/Help Page, Incoming Calls and SMS continue for 90 days post the pause, but number is retained and you get network coverage with ability to call Triple-0 till 119 days.

      They do remind you when you're nearing 119 days, so that you may decide to resume the service to avoid losing the number/SIM.

      On their official FAQ/Help Page: How does pausing my felix subscription work?

      • illumination on 16/02/2026 - 17:19
        +1

        I wonder if this could be used as a cheap way to park a number?

        • Pay $20/mth for one month
        • Pause plan. That will last you 5 months (including the first month of service)
        • You then get "disconnected" - what does that mean exactly? Can you reactivate it after this within a period of X days?

        Depending on what that "X" is, it might be a cheap way to park a number. So based on what we know so far, it's able to be parked for $20 for 5months.

        Not better than Amaysim @ $15/yr via PAYG, or Lebara @ $10/yr via PAYG

        • djoz on 16/02/2026 - 17:54
          +1

          Yes it is, but not certainly the cheapest. Earlier the pause was allowed for 10 months. I had paused my subscription for almost 9.5 months, as I was using NBN but then they gave me an offer of 60% off for 4 months; which was very tempting, so I took it.

          Also, the great part is, you still earn $10 per referral even when in Pause state. So, I had got about $60 thru referrals sitting idle in my account, and so I used them for $16/month for the next 4 months. Literally cost me $4 out of pocket for 4 months, with Unlimited Data.

          I was also moving that time, so it helped me - I carried the SIM with me wherever I went, so wasnt stuck to a provider at a fixed location during that period.

          For the question in your message though, here "X" = 0.
          After 119th day, your number is permanently deactivated, so you need to resubscribe to a plan latest by the 119th day. From their Official FAQ/Help Page

          You can pause your plan for a maximum of 119 days (starting from the end of the 48 hours) before you get disconnected. Don't worry, we’ll notify you when you’re getting close. Find out more about unpausing your felix plan on this page.)

          A deactivated number will be quarantined for 180 days. It’s possible to get it back from there, but it’s a hassle, and it’s not a guarantee.

          • illumination on 18/02/2026 - 03:40

            @dongltron: Thanks for sharing but just curious, how do you know that?

            Are you saying it's possible (but troublesome) to get it back within the 180 day quarantine period, or AFTER that period? Presume you mean within.

            Could you elaborate on the "hassle" and why it's not a guarantee?

    • gcheap on 16/02/2026 - 15:43

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 19/02/2026 - 21:21

      Yep, thanks everyone for the comments. I stand corrected. Just got a message today that I had 7 days to reactivate my plan or loose the number…

      • illumination on 20/02/2026 - 13:16

        • ShouldIBuyIt on 20/02/2026 - 18:29
          +1

          I think I paused around November, so that would make it around ~90 - 119 days as it was indicated in a comment above.
          Pretty sure I consumed 2 months off 50% and I should have 2 more at 50% off.
          I'll resume and report back. Hopefully they don't charge me $40 for a plan I don't really need !

    I have had Felix for about a year now - only reason I keep it is that it offers global roaming to a country others don't. Apart from that network sucks.

    I got rid of NBN at home with a view to using hotspot when in AU from the generous Felix allowance - speeds just like dial up and the buffering is so painful

        • Guybrush57 on 18/02/2026 - 02:52

          I get your point but finite data at full 5G speed is way worse.

          • illumination on 18/02/2026 - 03:41

            @Guybrush57: This depends on use case doesn't it? You're implying there's no one that would benefit from full 5G speed with finite data but I somehow don't believe this is true.

            I think the point is, 5G capped at 40mbps is nowhere near 5G's full potential speed, so they could just offer 4G instead, and it would still be practically the same (without considering what Churna said above which I guess shouldn't entirely be ignored)

        • Wardaddy on 18/02/2026 - 19:43

    As a network engineer who has worked on Vodafone, Optus and Telstra networks I can state that they all use quality equipment from several manufacturers. The only thing that affects service reception is your location, they would all have the same reception if you stood in like for like places near their towers. Throttled 5G is the biggest con going, 4G speeds were available on Vodafone years ago that surpass 5G today. And the 4G reception is usually better than 5G

      I’ve found in regional areas Telstra is always at the top of the tower and Optus/voda is lower, probably depending on the tower, but indoors I notice a difference in signal strength/quality

    Too many clueless people around Ozbargain. Probably using some shit house bar of soap as a phone.

    Full Vodafone: 98Mbps
    Full Optus: 42Mbps
    Full Telstra: 202Mbps

        Nice! I opted for an actual brick, but ensured the materials were carcinogenic for the “full experience” 🥴

          No the 6 month offer is valid to 15 March, but to qualify for cashback you must activate within 30days of purchase

          • finbar on 16/02/2026 - 22:50

            @Kelpei: By cashback you mean pay $20 instead of $40 each month ?

              @finbar: TCB is doing $11 cashback for the deal. Bought 1 and tracked minutes ago.
