Warning: This page is seriously out of date except for the amaysim entry I just updated and the dead links I noted (25/3/2022) this page has not been updated since 2016. Enjoy the history.
Some of the plans and prepaid deals I found that are suitable for low usage users, i.e. no more than $5/month, with no minimum spending per month.
