Catch Connect has just launched four new mobile plans and scrapped all previous ones (30-day data only SIMs remain). The $120 plan especially looks like great value. Powered by Optus. Stay safe, and enjoy :)
Use Cashrewards for up to $8 cashback. Ensure last click is from here prior to purchase.
Will be interesting to see what "super-deals" Catch-Connect come up with now.
Any super-deal on either of the 365 day plans will be worth grabbing.
Stay tuned.
Meanwhile E.tel offers the FIRST MONTH of their 3GB/ 30 day unlimited plan for just $4.50 and its only $9.95 normal price if you just want to hang there for a while.
You also get $9.95 included value for overseas calls @ 10c/min or MMS @ 25c ea. Given you can send pics with Apple iMessage, Whatsapp, Viber and Messenger these days the MMS thing is not a big restriction really.
E.tel also offers a 180 day pre-pay special where you pay for 5 months and get the 6th one free. So $49.75 buys you 6 months @ 3GB/mth.
Im using them right now. Given they are also using the Optus network they are no differenet to catch-Connect other than what I mentioned above.
NOTE: If you reach any of the limits (data/MMS/Intl calls) the plan auto-renews
How is etel better for this lower plan? Catch is only $10 and you get 5gb a month. Also if you have a unidays it knocks off $12.
Etel is very good for the $18 plan on special for 20gb if you need all that data
Etel is doing 7gb data for 10/month for 6 months with some international calls

@CVonC: not fobbing you off but I'd have to search, you can do the same, it's just about on the front page (from a few hours ago)

@Jackson: Actually just realised that's only for the first 6 months, Etel is probably better still, plus tpg are aholes
RIP Cheap Internet. Now I have to actually get a NBN connection. Sad day indeed.
I love the $4.9 30 day plan but now they are all gone~~~wish they come back someday
Yes, that deal is back at kogan
Where?
Looks like Catch Connect did a mass clean-up deactivation of numbers that were without an active plan. My SIM with a prepaid plan which expired in Dec'2019 was still active and able to receive incoming calls and texts. But since 01-Jul-2020, I am not getting any signal on that SIM. Also, if I call that number, the response is: "Optus advises that the number you have called has been disconnected"
I think that date is just for the discount of the SIM. I mean when you actually got the SIM, how long could you keep it for before it expires.
