Compare & Start Saving On SIM Plans Today!

• There are savings to find  We’ve done the maths. Buying a handset outright and going with a SIM only plan on Econnex can often provide much more value for Australian consumers than comparable bundled deals from other comparison services or retailers that see you paying off the handset in instalments. 

• Flexibility  Sometimes it’s better to be no-strings-attached. The SIM only plans on Econnex Comparison are all month-to-month, instead of the long term, locked-in contracts you can find with handset bundles elsewhere. This gives you the freedom to switch plans or providers without any pesky long-term commitments. Plus, several of our plans allow you to roll any data you didn’t use from one month to the next!  

• Bring your own device  Want to keep your current phone? No problem! Thinking about buying the latest new handset? Sounds good to us! You can bring whichever device you want and match it to the SIM plan on Econnex that best fits your online lifestyle. Whenever you upgrade your handset, simply transfer across your SIM card and you’ll be ready to go.

4G (fourth generation) and 5G (fifth generation) refer to different generations of mobile network technology available for Australians. While both connect you to the online world, there are some variations between them: 

 4G Mobile Networks 

• Speed: 4G networks still provide fast download and upload speeds compared to their 3G predecessors, allowing for smooth streaming, browsing, and data sharing for many Australian Consumers. As such, 4G is still considered suitable for a wide range of applications, including video streaming, social media, and certain online games. 
• Coverage: 4G coverage is widespread and available in most urban and suburban areas. Many rural customers are also now able to access 4G networks, although connectivity can be increasingly variable as your location gets more remote.  

5G Mobile Networks  

• Speed: 5G networks offer even higher speeds than 4G, enabling ultra-fast downloads and uploads for all your online needs. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require massive data transfer, such as virtual reality or large file distribution. The expansion of 5G networks opens possibilities for innovations in various Australian industries, including healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and entertainment. 
• Coverage: 5G coverage is still expanding across Australia and is currently more concentrated in urban areas such as capital cities including Sydney and Melbourne. Efforts are being made by network providers to increase its reach to suburban and rural parts of the country. 

Of course! It is likely that you are already streaming your favourite Netflix shows or playing most online games on your current mobile device using 4G. In fact, most online activity for everyday Australians is comfortably covered by the speed and latency of a 4G network. That said, it is likely that all newly released mobile devices will be 5G-capable to take advantage of the increased performance, as the network coverage expands across the country.  

There’s no firm answer for this, as the price points of different mobile plans can change from one month to the next, according to the retailers. However, we do know that buying a handset outright, and going with a SIM only plan, often ultimately costs less than bundling the two together and paying the handset off in instalments. Plus, you are more likely to avoid annoying long-term contracts that often accompany bundled plans. Ultimately, a comparison of mobile phone plans on Econnex will help find the best fit for your individual needs from our available retailers. 

The answer is different depending on the person asking it. The internet habits of different Australians are not the same. Some stream a lot, others a little. Some are gamers, others are not. What is most important is finding a plan that aligns with your specific needs. If you are a YouTube aficionado, or someone who downloads large files and uses social media extensively - the best mobile data plan in Australia for you might be one with a higher data allowance. On the other hand, if you only really use your phone for occasional browsing and communication, a plan with a lower data limit might suit you (and your wallet) better. Thankfully, here at Econnex we provide a range of options, making it easy to compare mobile plans and find the one that best suits your online life from our range of providers. 

A post-paid plan means that you pay for your mobile internet usage at the end of each month. Your usage is tallied up and a bill is sent to you to bring your account back into balance. No top ups required unless you exceed your data (or call) limit and decide to purchase more. All of the Mobile SIM Plan products on Econnex Comparison are post-paid, so you'll know exactly how much you’ll pay each month (as long as you stay under your data cap)! Prepaid is paid ahead of time, and once you run out – you'll need to top it up again.
