There are (too) many mobile SIM plans on offer by a multitude of companies, which is confusing and can lead to apathy of staying with one mobile provider for years without checking competitor plans. 

​

Some providers have tried differentiating themselves by offering carbon neutral plans. One can also choose a provider that is locally (Australian) owned and avoid the foreign multinational companies. My choice was a local company using the Telstra network which enables me to rollover the data.

​

I have summarised the plans available in Australia and sorted them in order of price (calculated over a 12 month period), from $78 to $1400 per year. You may be able to negotiate with your provider a competitive price by bundling your family phones & internet plans.
