Best Prepaid Mobile Review – Virgin Mobile Based on the traffic our prepaid plans site receives and the options that Virgin Mobile makes available through their prepaid mobile plans, they would surely have to be one of the market leaders within the prepaid mobile market. So what is so good about Virgin? One of their most popular plans and the cheapest plan on the market (from the key providers) at the moment is Bean Counter. It offers 10c calls per minute plus 10c SMS with a 45 day expiry. No one else comes close. But it’s not just Bean Counter which makes Virgin Mobile so popular, they also offer a variety of plans catering for those that like to talk a lot, those that require a longer expiry, those who SMS a lot and those that like a bit of data included with their new “Your Caps”. The calls rates (and SMS) are free when calling Virgin to Virgin and 45c per 30 seconds when you call non Virgin mobiles. What they also come with is quite a bit of call credit eg $29 Big Cap has $450 worth of credit plus 200MB of data (bonus 1GB data). Probably enough data to send and receive a few emails. Voice mail for all of the Virgin prepaid mobile plans is free in Australia. Virgin also has a great range of prepaid mobile phones for you to purchase. You can view and compare all of the prepaid mobile phone plans offered by Virgin here.


Best Prepaid Mobile Broadband Review
Amaysim Mobile Broadband Plans Amaysim extended their product range this week with the launch of the mobile broadband data sim card. The range of recharge offers look great whether you use the internet a lot or a little, seems to be something for everyone.These are the plans on offer: 1GB – $9.90 lasts 30 days; 2.5GB – $19.90 lasts 30 days; 4GB – $29.90 lasts 30 days; 10GB – $99.90 lasts 365 days; and Pays as you go at 5c/MB.Amaysim use the Optus network, therefore if your Optus reception is fine then Amaysim will also work OK for you. Note that Amaysim also gives you unlimited Twitter and Facebook access with each plan. Finally, Amaysim doesn’t sell hardware, so make sure that your usb modem is unlocked.Telstra Prepaid Mobile Broadband Plans Telstra offers a startup of $20 worth of credit. Telstra meters the value of the data on your plan, not the number of megabytes you have left. The initial $20 offers 250MB, and you can add credit to your pre-paid account; that credit reduces at a fixed rate per megabyte used and will expire after 30 days unless you recharge the service. When you recharge, any remaining credit is rolled over. The fixed rate varies based on the amount of credit you last put on your service. For example, if you put $20 of credit in, Telstra charges 8c per megabyte (bare in mind that the $20 recharge lasts for 21 days). But if you put $80 of credit in, Telstra reduces the rate to just 21.95c per megabyte, which applies to all your remaining credit, not just the $80. Optus Prepaid Mobile Broadband Optus prices range from $15 for 300MB to $100 for 10GB – and you start off with 4GB (+ 15SMS) when you buy the $79 modem. You can have up to 17.25GB of credit on your service at one time. Each recharge gives you some bonus mobile broadband data plus some free SMS. A $15 and $20 recharge voucher will expire in 15 days; $30 to $50 will expire in 30, a $70 to $80 recharge will expire in 90, $100 is 186 days and $130 is 365 days. Starter Packs are $79 with 4GB of data (90 days) at the moment so get in quick. Your data usage is metered in 10MB blocks, and even using a 1MB in a day reduces your quota by 10MB. To offset this somewhat, Optus charges you just 10MB for the first 30MB each day. If you have your own compatible and approved modem, then simply buy a sim card for $30, with 1GB data and 30 days to use it. Dodo Prepaid Mobile Broadband Dodo has the 2nd most competitive offering in the market probably behind Exetel. There is a great range of plans that can be purchased based on required bandwidth or data or in terms of hours. You start with $10 for 250MB – 500MB for 30 days or 10 hrs and then increase all of the way to 15GB – 30GB for $139 lasting a whole year. The ranges relate to peak and off-peak data allowances (Off-Peak Hours are 12am to 7am). Note you also get a bonus of either 250MB access per month for 12 months, 5GB lasting 30 days or 100 hours lasting 30 days. The only thing to be aware of is their reputation on service, not great at the moment. Starter pack is $49, the sim card on its own is free (no bonus available). Virgin Prepaid Mobile Broadband Virgin was one of the first providers of prepaid mobile broadband and continues to provider a competitive offering. They have 30, 60, 90 and a 365 day option as well as data options starting with 300MB with a $15 recharge and 8GB for $100. Their starter pack is of great value at $49 and includes a USB modem plus 4GB data. What is also of value is that they are backed by Optus and have a strong following so the customer service should also be pretty good.If you already have a compatible and approved modem, then simply pickup a sim card for $5, includes 300MB data and 30 days in which to use it. Vodafone Prepaid Mobile Broadband Vodafone was a late entrant into the prepaid mobile broadband market but they are being recognised as having a reliable service if you live in the metro and outer suburban areas of Australia’s capital cities. What is also very exciting about Vodafone is that they now have their USB at just $29 with 1GB of data lasting 30 days. Great if you are about to travel interstate and want some internet access in your apartment or hotel. This is one of the cheapest deals around today if you want to get started with a prepaid broadband plan.
