    Which courier you are using? Vodafone?

    Also do you able to give Ozbargain community more discount as this is more like advertisement to me.

    For $10 Optus start pack selling in Woolworth this week you get 3GB + talk and txt.

      Hey LoveBargain,

      The TeleChoice mobile network uses part of Telstra's 4G and 3G mobile network.

      The above plans are post-paid, not pre-paid starter packs. You can get the same inclusions month in month out without having to wait for special details or new signup specials.

      We reckon our $25, 4GB plan is definitely something Ozbargainers might be interested in :)

  • kwchaz on 25/05/2016 - 16:02

    Do you have access to the Telstra 4GX network? That might be one reason why people would opt for Telstra, as prepaid rates are $30 for 3GB, or even as low as $10 if you buy the sims on special at Harvey Norman.

      Hey Stubo,

      It's going to depend on the plan you're currently on. The configuration of mobile broadband is different to sim only, so the transfer process isn't as easy as doing a plan change. If you can email [email protected] i'll see what I can do :)

    • elusive on 25/05/2016 - 18:39

      You can sometimes snag a Telstra 4G lite pocket Wi-Fi pretty cheap… Coles/Woolies sales? Dick Smith had some right till they closed, but too late for that.

          $25 @ Coles right now.

          It's not the fastest, and no 4GX. Cheap option. I think I max out around 30/30 in Chatswood (S7 gets 70). The good ones seem to all cost $100 :(

          (I assume it works across all Telstra MVNOs? That's how phone carrier locks work but dunno about these broadband things. Could call up Telstra to ask.)

          +1

          @illumination:

          Personally, I do this because my phone is on a different SIM (TPG grandfathered). If you have an old phone lying around, you could use that.

          It's also a bit smaller than most phones, though also a bit thicker.

          Battery life… would depend on the phone, and your usage.

          I bought it cause at $25 w/ 2 GB data it was a cheap way to get some Telstra data.

        • cdaddy on 25/05/2016 - 21:04

          @elusive: well as the rep said their network dosent have 4gx so its ok…..

        • elusive on 25/05/2016 - 21:43

          @cdaddy:

          It's still significantly slower (as tested on Telstra prepaid) than the 100Mbps the rep claims. I suspect just a slower/cheaper LTE modem inside. Good enough for those who are happy with the lower speed.

  • puzzles2 on 25/05/2016 - 16:37

    Just to confirm, does this only include data? No calls/sms I presume.

    Any chance of better value for the mobile plans. I currently have the old $20 plan but need to change to a new LIVE plan to use 4G but the $18 plan is not good enough and I do not wish to pay $28 for the next plan. I have an ALDI sim to jump onto their $20 plan but would prefer to stay with Telechoice if they were to offer a comparative package.

    • AssociatedTeleChoice @ TeleChoice on 25/05/2016 - 17:27

  • GaelicAU on 25/05/2016 - 18:13

    Be weary of TC. I used them for about a year and after two months, my data usage was reporting close to double.

    My daily usage and device had not changed. I had all the usually suspects turned off (i.e. auto updates etc).

    From memory, at one stage, I was shown to have downloaded over 4GB in a three hour period. I doubt my 3G phone at the time could have even transferred that much if I asked it to.

    TC were horrendous to deal with in terms of saying vs doing. Supplying info. Etc. It took me hours and hours over many days.

    End result was going through the TIO and moving to another network pronto.

    My opinion - well, you know that already.

      Hey GaelicAU,

      We've done a lot to improve our data reporting capabilities over the past year. We now have live usage alerts, the ability to check your usage from your handset and $10/GB data top ups.

    • ash7503 on 26/05/2016 - 03:42

      Just a warning guys… I found the customer service to be really poor. In my case, I was charged 1 month extra at the end of my contract even though I had switched over my mobile number to Telstra. Tried calling Telechoice but was in the queue for over half an hour numerous times. Tried emailing but received no replies. In the end, just gave up as couldn't be bothered anymore. I guess you get what you pay for. Telstra prepaid has been excellent for me.

  • epicttiimm on 25/05/2016 - 19:53

    Seems like a really good price. If your family/friends/significant others are using the same platform, you can do VOIP calling as well. My family are all using iPhones so with the widespread coverage of fast Telstra 3g/4g we normally FaceTime Audio instead of call. Quality is much better as well than normal calling, even better than VoLTE imho. Most social media apps can do this as well e.g., WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, FB messenger, etc.

    • AssociatedTeleChoice @ TeleChoice on 25/05/2016 - 21:12

      Hey Epicttiimm,

      Exactly :) Given that it has incoming call and SMS we think it could be suitable for people (like yourself by the sounds of it!) who have moved away from traditional forms of text and calling.

  • jimmej on 25/05/2016 - 19:58

      We don't have any plans to have other handsets on plans at the moment, but if you can, its often cheaper to buy an outright handset with a SIM-only plan (and you also won't be locked in for 24 months).

    Vodafone Currently has the same deal for the $20 Mobile broadband and $30/4GB. But if you do a 12 month plan u get more and if your an existing customer you get double month to month on your plan with Vodafone so it's been out for awhile.

    Good to see other telco's on the $10/GB aswell.

    But props to OP for the deal post.

    • AssociatedTeleChoice @ TeleChoice on 26/05/2016 - 13:14

      Excess usage is $10/GB (max 10 data packs).

      Coverage might differ slightly, its always best to refer to our coverage map - https://www.telechoice.com.au/our-mobile-network

    "Need more data? Excess data on both of these plans is just $10/1GB (max. 10)."

    Dangerous having excess data charges for an MBB plan considering data usage often doesn't update for 24 hrs. I can see people streaming YouTube not realising the delay then BOOM $50 excess.

    I'd much rather have it cut off automatically with the option to purchase extra data.

    • AssociatedTeleChoice @ TeleChoice on 27/05/2016 - 09:28

      Hey Marc86au,

      Our usage alerts are in real time :) (although just to be safe, we normally say up to 5 hours) Also - the $10/GB data packs take a second to be added onto the service. You'll get the alert letting you know before its actually added on.

      If you want, we can also switch it off.

  • systema on 27/05/2016 - 09:15

    Hi Rep,

    Noticed that the first month is pro-rata depending on when the plan is activated. I couldn't find any information about billing date, is it the 1st of each month or does it work differently depending on the customer?

    • AssociatedTeleChoice @ TeleChoice on 27/05/2016 - 09:37

      Hey Systema,

      Your first months payment for the access fee is pro-rata, but your usage is not.

      To give you an example - If you sign up today, your billing cycle will be 27th - 26th. If you don't activate until 15 days after you sign up, you'll only pay 1/2 of the access fee, but you'll still get a full months allowance :)

      There is no pro-rata when you cancel, so you pay up until the end of your last month.
