I need a basic plan for a mobile that is only to be called, it will not (or rarely) be used for calling. I think a long expiry plan is most applicable for this situation. Data is not required.
What are your suggestions?
Best option for mobile plan for long expiry

looks good, thanks.
I can vouch for this, I'm using it now. $15 with 365 days expiry with great reception.
I've only used $5 for the past month lol… though I have a $30 data sim from Voda…
Can I recharge this plan online, without having to purchase an in-store recharge card? (we don't have Aldi here)
@bargained: The Aldi mobile Sim Starter pack costs you $5 and comes with $5 credit already. You don't need to recharge for it for the first year since you are mainly using this phone to receive calls.
At the end of 1 year, you can recharge $15 to keep going for another 12 months. Or if you don't care to keep the number, simply buy another $5 Aldi starter pack again.
But if you want to keep the number and you are a true ozbargainer, then get a free trial sim, or buy a $2 prepaid sim from other telco, port the number out and back to Aldi straight away. A total of $7 will keep you going for another year!
also voda 365days.
maybe others.No way. Vodafone call rate is high compared to Aldi Mobile.
Trial accounts are posted to here every month, cheapie option. After the goodies in them expire, should be good for a +five months. Or T long life / aldi M.
Virgin $19 for 3 months. 15c per min call and 100mb data.
Also if you renew before your 3 month expiry you get to carry over your unused dollar and data balance.
Yes. Buy 300mb extra for $10.
How do you activate the SIM?
Do they still subsidise this deal by collecting, rather than sighting <copies>, then storing electronic duplicates of all your private information for share and sale according to their current and any future Terms of Service that we all go to so much trouble to read and be mindful of. And who are 'they'- 'Aldimobile Pty Ltd', Telstra, other MSPs, call centre third party providers, offshore IT providers? How many 'they' are there transferring your data from call centre to data centre to cloud service and backup media- and all round the globe through all those worldwide data taps, feeding your private data to govs, organised crime and the hackers who are just there slurping at the time? Not to mention the media lawyers, the Borg, Skynet and… ? <puts tinfoil hat back on>
Most just have a normal, non >100 points of ID process/signup, and post the sim. Or they do it over the counter, fill out the form, sight your ID- not take copies for the whole world to buy, steal, beg for and give away freely in your absence.
Just want to know if I can use one of the 2 sims I bought and didn't activate when I got to the part that required my Drivers License to be electronically duplicated and uploaded… what damned fool designed that process and which one said 'yea we can get away with that' (and was so right)?
