Mobile phone plan

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Post by Shirley »

Researching a new plan, Aldi have one 18GB data that rolls over, unlimited free calls, $25 a month, anyone with Aldi?

I have Telstra data only plan on my iPad, 10GB $25 a month.

Interested in any recommendations.

I have an Aldi plan $15 p/m 3 gb roll over and have 18 g/b rolled over ,not a heavy user at home but handy when away,All the calls I want to make are free.Rita has an Aldi $35 p/m plan with 35 gb with roll over.Very happy with the coverage as it uses part of the Telstra network.Some times have a drop out but they are rare and that is one reason why I dropped Telstra at their costs there should be no drop outs.... :lol: ........................Peter. ,

I have 20gb/mth with Boost which rolls over for $30/mth. Give unlimited calls and text and 100 minutes international calls to selected countries. Boost is a part of telstra. Sim can be purchased at Australia Post outlets.

Boost is not part of Telstra.

It is privately owned but it uses part of Telstra network.

Boost is American.

They have some sort of contract with Telstra to supply the network and do all the paperwork.

Jon, they answer saying "Thanks for calling Telstra" or "Thanks for calling Boost",or similar. However, at the moment, 100% of the time it is answered by Telstra.
