I am almost done with my Telstra contact (ends mid May) and would like to do a SIM-only prepaid plan with Aldi if I can't get any good way to combine my wife and I's mobile plans.
She is currently on contract with Voda and I asked them via live chat and they say they don't have a way to share minutes (only data). I seem to remember Optus allowing minutes/data sharing on a separate SIM for a fee? I would be open to that. I know in the US they have family plans that include up to 4-5 lines under one account, one bill. Why don't they have those here?? Is there a provider that allows multiple lines under one plan?
So, what are my options? Do any of you have any mobile plans that allow you to combine plans into one billing? I know my friends have "shared data" among the family but they are still paying separate bills for their services, which I want to avoid.
Not necessary anymore because minutes are typically unlimited anyway. There isn't a need to share phone call allowances as most plans over a certain amount will be unlimited talk, TXT and MMS.
Kogan for example offers unl. talk / txt with very generous data allowances. I have my entire family on Kogan.
Vodafone, Optus and Telstra all have data pooling and data sharing plans. You need to crunch the numbers yourself and work out which is the best value according to your own parameters. Some telcos offer unlimited streaming of music that won't affect download quotas (Optus has Spotify streams) so that is another feature to consider.
