Detailed explanation of mobile phone packages in Australia

What are the features of Australian mobile phone packages?

1. Australian mobile phone numbers can be ported to other operators without any additional charges;

2. Mobile phone packages are divided into two types: Prepaid packages and Plan packages.

Prepaid does not require a contract to buy, and you can resume normal use by recharging the overdue balance.

For Plan, you need to go to the operator store to sign the contract and bring valid documents (passport, COE, offer). The money will be automatically deducted from the reserved account every bill period.

There are currently three major network operators/ISPs: Telstra, Optus, and TPG.

Telstra

Telstra is the largest operator in Australia, with a huge number of users and a market share of 73% in Australia. Its network covers more than 99.8% of the population. Its signals are available in parking lots, train stations, and some tourist attractions/areas far away from the city. Telstra is the most expensive, but its signals are simply better than all other communication companies! After all, most of the signal stations and network lines are owned by it.

Optus

Optus is the second largest mobile network operator in Australia. Although its signal coverage and strength are generally not as good as Telstra, it is more affordable. If you don't have a mine at home but want a better signal, you will choose it.

Vodafone

Vodafone is the third largest mobile network operator in Australia. It has the lowest market share among the three. Its network coverage is lower than Telstra and Optus, so the signal may be poor in remote areas, and the Internet speed is not as fast as the former two. Vodafone's advantage is that it is affordable. Under the same price, Vodafone usually has more available phone bills and network data than Optus. Many Chinese use Vodafone.
