If you don't need the data it comes down to which is the better network in your area for calls, Kogan = Vodafone, Catch = Optus. If they're both the same, and there is no plan to use the data, I would say, go for the cheapest.
I agree! I think Catch might have slightly more convenient customer service as you can contact them online.
Catch Connect just to avoid having anything to do with Kogan.
Not a fan of Kogan in general BUT I've had both internet and phone with them and customer service has been far superior to anything offshore I've experienced. It's actually Voda support anyway and each time I've called they've been fast, knowledgeable and helpful. Yes I know shock horror!
That’s a good point.
I’m sure there’s a JV between Them like Catch has with Optus
Keep ALDI Mobile in mind. Uses the Telstra network. $5 SIM starter pack has 60 day expiry, then $15 recharge extends it another year. Last time I went to ALDI they had a $17 and I think a $26 starter pack but I don't know how long they last, didn't have time to sus them out.
Be warned though, they really aren't great if you forget to turn off background data. ALDI Mobile Data costs 6c/MB but usage is measured per kilobyte and rounded up to the nearest kilobyte.
I've used ALDI SIM cards in a bunch of random Android devices for many years without issue (with Auto Updates and Background Data disabled) but accidentally left one in a relative's spare iPhone without turning off Background Data and it whittled $45 worth of credit down to $7 in less than a week. Auto app updates were turned off, no third-party apps were installed, it was just downloading screensaver photos and news articles and other useless crap in the background.
If your mum can connect to wi-fi at home most of that isn't an issue though, as you can set Android to disable background data and only update over wi-fi. I thought I'd done that with my relo's iPhone but must have turned off the wrong setting, as I'm unfamiliar with iOS.
Yeah I have her on Aldi at the moment, some months she goes without anything, then blows the $15 over night grrrr. I think Catch might be the go as I think Optus is better in her suburb than Vodafail
What about ALDImobile? $5 for the SIM, a recharge lasts 365 days and starts at $15 so it'll be $20 a year for the first year and $15 a year for subsequent years.

What network does kogan use?
Vodafone
Thanks :)
They intentionally made it $99 so that you couldn't stack the $5 welcome promo minimum spend $100 + APPLOVE code… smart.
You think something so basic makes a person smart?
It's $99 because $99 looks a lot cheaper than $100
It is cheaper
These are the insights I come to ozbargain for
This or Catch connect, use next to no data, mainly just to keep my mums number active so she can receive and make a call or two every week
