Family looking at phones

Looking for a new SIM-only or prepaid phone plan but can't work out what to pick? Here's a look at the most popular plans on WhistleOut in the last week.

1. Jeenee Mobile


We're Sorry

This product is no longer available

Jeenee Mobile's 15GB plan is easily one of the best plans around in terms of data-for-dollar, and it's even better right now thanks to a slight discount. $19.90 per month gets you 15GB on a 12-month contract, down from $22.50 per month. This discount is available until July 31, but even at full price, this plan is still excellent value. Jeenee Mobile is powered by the Optus network.

2. Belong


We're Sorry

This product is no longer available

Belong's $10 per month plan is the cheapest SIM-only option around on the Telstra network. While it only gets you 1GB, it's contract-free and has perks like data rollover and gifting that you tend not find on other cheap plans.

3. Exetel


We're Sorry

This product is no longer available

If you don't need much data, Exetel has you covered. $8.99 per month gets you 2GB, along with unlimited talk and text. Better yet, it's a contract-free plan so you can always move to a larger plan if your needs change. Exetel is powered by the Optus network.

4. Telstra

If Telstra's SIM-only plans seem a little bit steep, you'll be glad to know its prepaid recharges are a little bit more generous. A $30 recharge currently gets you 10GB, plus a bonus 10GB on your first three recharges. In addition, you'll get unlimited standard international calls to 20 destinations, making it one of the few Telstra plans with overseas inclusions as a standard feature. This plan is sold as 28-day recharge.

5. Coles


We're Sorry

This product is no longer available

Last up is a longer-than-average prepaid recharge from Coles. $20 gets you 28GB on 35-day term. That's pretty damn good! However, there is a catch: you'll only get 28GB on your first three recharges. Your allowance will drop to 3GB from your fourth recharge onward. However, since Coles prepaid plans are contract-free, you can leave whenever you want. Coles is powered by the Optus network.

How we measure plan popularity


The popularity of these plans is measured by the number of "product information" and "go to site" clicks they've had on WhistleOut across the past seven days.
