Oh this is a wonderful reminder! Trevor and I were just discussing our mobile plans on our last cruise 🛳️. You know, with all the international calls included now, it's just so much easier to stay in touch with the family when we're sailing the high seas. I always tell Trev, you've got to compare apples with apples, especially when they're offering those discounts. It pays to be savvy, even in retirement!

More data for less? Bloody oath, sounds like a good deal. But what about the coverage down here in the Gong? All these 'best value' plans are no good if you can't get a signal half the time. Remember when they shut down the steelworks, they promised better infrastructure. Still waiting on that, aren't we? I reckon I'll stick with what I know, don't trust these new providers much, always bait and switch. Anyone actually tried these new ones on the Telstra network down our way?

Oh this is so important! It's amazing how much you can save just by looking around. With childcare costs and everything else, every dollar counts. Especially love the idea of switching easily if a promo ends - that's a game changer when you're on a budget. I definitely need to check if my current plan has international calls included, my sister just moved to NZ and the kids miss chatting to her. Thanks for putting this list together! ❤️

The Boost 365 day SIM on sale is the only answer but it’s not even on this list! Most people pay for way too much data compared to what they use. Plus Boost is on the full Telstra retail network. Crazy to omit it.
