Telstra's budget brand Boost Mobile has cut $35 off its $300 365-day long-expiry plan, allowing new customers to lock in a year of mobile service for $265 upfront.

The mobile plan comes with 290GB of data, making it the equivalent of paying $22.08 per month for 24GB. That's better value than similarly priced plans on the Telstra network, including Boost's own - especially given a few Telstra-powered providers recently axed their cheapest plans, or are planning to do so.

For example, Boost normally charges $28 for a 28-day recharge with 8GB, while the Woolworths-owned Every Mobile charges $25 per month for 22GB.

Here are Boost's 365-day long-expiry plans:

#1	Boost Mobile	Boost Mobile $300 Prepaid 300GB data at download speeds up to 150Mbps Telstra 5G Network in selected areas with 5G devices Deal: Get 300GB data on new activations, then 240GB from next recharge. Activate by 15.02.27 $300.00 Per 12 Month Renewal Go to Site	$300.00 Per 12 Month Renewal	Go to Site
#2	Boost Mobile	Boost Mobile $365 Prepaid 500GB data at download speeds up to 150Mbps Telstra 5G Network in selected areas with 5G devices Deal: Get 500GB data on new activations, then 365GB from next recharge. Activate by 15.02.27 $365.00 Per 12 Month Renewal Go to Site	$365.00 Per 12 Month Renewal	Go to Site

And here are plans with at least 14GB per month on the Telstra network for comparison:

#1	EZEE Mobile	EZEE Mobile EZEE Starter Plan 15GB data at download speeds up to 150Mbps Uses part of the Telstra 5G Mobile Network in selected areas $29.00 Per 30 Day Renewal Link not supplied	$29.00 Per 30 Day Renewal	Link not supplied

T&Cs apply. $30.00/mth Min. cost $30 Go to Site	$30.00/mth Min. cost $30	Go to Site
#3	Superloop	Superloop SuperSim Saver 5G Plan 15GB data at download speeds up to 150Mbps Uses parts of Telstra’s 5G and 4G mobile networks Deal: FREE 2nd recharge for existing Superloop broadband customers or new customers signing up for a mobile & broadband service $30.00 Per 30 Day Renewal Go to Site	$30.00 Per 30 Day Renewal	Go to Site

Boost's 365-day plan becomes a 240GB plan for $300 from the second year, but it is contract-free. As such, you don't need to stay after your first year is over. If you choose to stay with Boost, it works out to be the equivalent of paying $25 per month for 20GB. That's still pretty good value when compared to other Telstra-powered providers.

It's also worth noting Boost is the only Telstra MVNO to use the full Telstra network. This means its coverage reaches 99.7% of the population, compared to 98.8% of the population on the Telstra wholesale network used by other providers. While coverage in most areas is the same, the full Telstra network delivers coverage in some very remote parts of Australia, while the Telstra wholesale network.

Boost's long-expiry deal runs until September 28.
