I'm on an annual Boost plan, it came out at roughly $20/mo and 14gb. But, it's on the Telstra network.
I know it's twice the price of what you're quoting, but there's more data and being Telstra. Calls to Australia, USA, UK and NZ are free. There are other countries but those are the only ones I cared about.
Boost is also fantastic for fifo, where its Telstra or nothing.
I've just moved to a Boost annual prepaid plan. I was paying Belong $15 per month, but they're about to bump the price to $21 per month... making it slightly more than the Boost option, but only on the wholesale network. Cheaper and better coverage? Sign me up!
Moose bumped me up to $14.80/month recently, prior to that it was about half the cost.
I'm lucky to use 1GB/month so this looks perfect, thankyou.
It looks like Catch support is useless though, lets hope nothing breaks during the port. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2706810 <- also has some info about how to disable voicemail.
Yeah my own data usage is very low these days, usually <3 GB a month, so I also went for that $89 deal. Let's hope it's a smooth transition!
For those who are/travel rural. Telstra has a one year prepaid plan at ~$300 / year; free voice and text with a little bit of data.
Boost are almost certainly cheaper than Telstra, and its the exact same experience just with a speed cap.
