Last updated 04 August 2016

OVO Mobile has revamped its full suite of prepaid plans, with new pricing, more data and continued unmetered access to a range of Australian sports broadcasts.

Impressively, the new OVO plans are now best value at several key price points. Its new $34.95 prepaid mobile plan comes with 8GB data and unlimited calls and messages, beating similar priced competitors like Kogan by a couple of dollars and with more data.

The hero tablet plan includes a huge 50GB of data for $59.95 per recharge. All OVO prepaid plans have 30 day expiry and operate on the Optus 4G network.

This sporting life

On top of the new market-leading plans, OVO is offering something unique for sports fans, with a dedicated app streaming sports broadcasts that you won’t find anywhere else.

Currently customers can watch V8 Supercars, Audi Racing and streams from Gymnastics Australia, with a promise of more to come. If you’re curious about what’s available you can watch a sample at the OVO website.

Best of all, the streams are all unmetered, meaning that the data used is not counted against the already generous data allowances in the prepaid plans.
