The Raillys Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 So I have looked and looked and known in Australia seems to offer unlimited data on a mobile contract! I have been on 3 in the Uk and have got so used to "all I can eat" Was hoping there was something similar in Oz. I have just had a look at my data usage for this month and it is 43GB! ouch. Anyone know any good data heavy plans in OZ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patphillips47 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 43GB is one hell of a lot of data do you stream or download movies etc I don't think there are many OZ providers that do unlimited I know Bigpond proved expensive my son has just gone with Foxtel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raillys Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I don't stream videos! I receive a lot of large emails for work, and that is the only thing I can think. I use spotify- but download a lot of the playlists when at home. hmmm. I guess this is the trouble with unlimited. I just use it with no idea where it is all going too.

The Raillys Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks! Actually looking over past months I have not always been that high. So maybe 10Gb should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzukiscottie Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Most "unlimited" mobile contracts will also have a caveat about their "fair usage policy", so if you end up using much more data than what the telco offers as "unlimited", then they'll throttle you back or ultimately terminate. Also, some are advertised as an "unlimited" plan but it's only the calls and texts that are offered as unlimited, data is limited. At the time i took out my contract with Virgin, their "unlimited" plan at the time gave me unlimited calls and texts, but only 6gb. You should be able to find some large-data sim-only plans. edited - just checked my telco for the first time since i took out my contract; $50pm, unlimited calls and texts and 12gb - sim-only. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find better offers than that. Edited March 31, 2016 by Suzukiscottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raillys Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yes looking into them all Virgin seems to give you the most for your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Jimbo Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Data consumption is going through the roof so the telcos have to keep upping their limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
