| Sunday 25 July 2010 Prepaid Mobile Review – Savvytel Just over 2 years ago I was looking for a prepaid mobile plan for my wife who hardly uses her mobile (emergency phone). I didn’t want to waste money with a contract plan as she would never spend enough of the credit offered and I wanted cheap call rates (doesn’t everyone).I spent a few weeks comparing what the market had to offer and stumbled upon Savvytel. Credit NEVER expires. I thought that sounds encouraging and would suit my wife’s usage pattern. Next, 12c per 30 secs call rate and 20c flagfall. I worked out that if she made 3 calls per week for 3 minutes each, it would come to about $145 pa in call costs and so if I bought her credit of $100, it would last most of the year through. Savvytel use the Vodafone network and living in Melbourne the coverage seemed fine. I bought it. Two years later, my wife is still using it. I have also bought a Savvytel sim card for my parents who mainly receive calls rather then make them. Again its an emergency phone that they sometimes remember to bring with them. A $20 sim card with $20 credit was all we needed to get started. You can actually startup with a $5 sim pack. At the moment Savvytel are also offering prepaidplans customers a bonus 25% of credit on signup. Find out more.. Note that Savvytel charge a $3.50 administration fee if you haven’t recharged atleast $10 in the past 3 calendar months. |

| Sunday 11 April 2010 Prepaid Broadband Review – 3 Mobile Month to Month Mobile Broadband This week saw the launch of the first month to month mobile broadband plan by both 3 Mobile and Vodafone. Month to Month means you get the same value as a 12 month plan without having to be tied into a long term contract. Your minimum stay with 3 Mobile and Vodafone is 1 month. So plenty of flexibility and value.Lets however see how these plans compare with going prepaid. 3 Mobiles month to month plans offer 1GB for $15 p/m, 3GB for $29, 6GB for $39 and 8GB for $49.If you were using your mobile broadband for emergency usage (ie you also have some form of fixed line at home/work) you might consider starting with the basic 1GB plan (enough for emails and some browsing each month). At $15 p/mth it would cost you $180 over 12 months and give you 12GB in total (1GB per month). You need to BYO a USB modem, or you can buy one outright with 3/Vodafone for $79 (totals $180 + $79 = $259). The prepaid mobile broadband alternative would be $149 inclusive of USB modem, comes with 12GB of data that would last you 12 months. So at the most basic level, prepaid is way ahead (by $110).If 2-3GB per month was more in-line with what you would be using, month to month gives you 3GB for $29 p/mth, totaling $348 (36GB), plus $79 for the modem (or BYO). The equivalent in prepaid is 2GB for $29, totaling $348 (24GB), plus $69 or $79 for a modem. So the more you spend with your mobile broadband connection, the better the value the month to month plan will be. And remember, month to month means no long term contract, after one month, simply cancel the plan if you need to.

| Tuesday 29 September 2009 Prepaid Mobile Review – Just Mobile My first prepaid mobile experience was with Just Mobile. I found the service to be good (most of the time) and the rates to also be very competitive. The only reason I eventually moved away from them was because my credits ran out and I hadn’t recharged the sim card in a while and so the sim card was canceled by Just Mobile. All in the T/Cs of course so no complaints there. However when I rang up to get it started again, I must of called 5 times and got 5 different answers. I also got sent a sim card that I had charged with $50 that couldn’t be activated. So it didn’t end up the way I intended it to.Nevertheless, I like what Just Mobile offers and their new Just 15 Prepaid offer is very good for prepaid mobile users.Just Mobile offers the Just 15 Prepaid Plan and the Prepaid Cap.The Just 15 Prepaid Plan was launched in early September and offers some of the cheapest rates in the market. 15c per 30 sec, billed per sec (not per 30 secs block), no flagfall and 15c text, with credit lasting for 180 days. That is very good value. Its actually even cheaper than the Woolworths Everyday Mobile offer.The other plan is the Prepaid Cap. This alternative prepaid mobile plan has a higher set of calls charges with a shorter credit expiry of 30 days. To balance this out, each Cap ($19, $29 & $30) comes with some pre installed credit, $60, $130 & $190 respectively. For those that make plenty of calls in a month, then the caps will give greater value, for the occasional user, the Just 15 prepaid plan is most certainly the way to go.You can compare Just Mobile with all of the other prepaid mobile plans here. Activation and recharging all happens online so its also very convenient. There you go, Just Mobile reviewed. |

| Friday 3 July 2009 Prepaid Mobile Review – Virgin Mobile Based on the traffic our prepaid plans site receives and the options that Virgin Mobile makes available through their prepaid mobile plans, they would surely have to be one of the market leaders within the prepaid mobile market. So what is so good about Virgin? One of their most popular plans and the cheapest plan on the market (from the key providers) at the moment is Bean Counter. It offers 10c calls per minute plus 10c Txt. No one else comes close except for Amichi Mobile (a little operator on the Vodafone network). But it’s not just Bean Counter which makes Virgin Mobile so popular, they also offer a variety of plans catering for those that like to talk a lot, those that require a longer expiry, those who text a lot and those that like a bit of data included with their new “Your Caps”. Virgin’s “Your Caps” where only released a few months ago. The calls rates are free when calling Virgin to Virgin and 45c p/m when you call non Virgin mobiles. What they also come with is quite a bit of call credit eg $35 Cap has $180 worth of credit plus 20MB of data. Probably enough data to send and receive a few emails. Voice mail for all of the Virgin prepaid mobile plans is free in Australia. Virgin also has a great range of prepaid mobile phones for you to purchase. You can view and compare all of the prepaid mobile phone plans offered by Virgin here. |

Prepaid Broadband Review – 3 Mobile However 3 Mobile Prepaid Broadband is more than just a good performing solution, its also very good value. They are currently offering their E1756 modem for just $79. And to top it off, you can bundle 12GB of data for just $149 and it will last you for 12 months. This is much cheaper than a 1GB monthly contract from most providers. 3 Mobile’s prepaid recharge options start at $15 for 500MB, 2GB for $29, 4GB for $49 and 12GB for $149. In addition, you also get 10 free SMS and your data lasts for 30 days except for the 12GB plan which lasts for a year. Are they good value? I think they are. Optus is currently offering 1GB for $30, 3.45GB for $50 and at the top end, 9.2GB for $130 lasting only 186 days. So yes, I think 3 Mobile’s value is good. Where it could be better is in a few more options for those people looking to spend between $50 and $150. So it would be nice to see maybe a 9GB plan introduced. Is 3 Mobile broadband good for regional Australia. It’s improving but at the moment for best results I would either look at Telstra or Optus (or an Optus reseller eg Exetel). If you like or travel into the city mainly or if you live in the suburbs around major Australian cities, 3 Mobile should be fine. You can check the 3 Mobile coverage map here. |

Prepaid Mobile Review – Optus Talk & Txt There are several key players in this space, including some of our favourites like Virgin Prepaid, Just Mobile, Savvytel. We also have the new Go-Talk offers that are pretty competitive and offer good value if calling o/seas. Enough about everyone else, lets talk Optus Talk & Txt. What I like about it – is that it is simple to understand. 10c calls per 30 sec, 10c txt and 10c flagfall. Easy to remember. And 10c is cheap, not the cheapest, but you wouldn’t expect that from the No 2 Telco. Virgin is slightly cheaper at 5c. What is great about it is that it is 10c to anyone, any network. Most offers have a cheap rate or free calls when its within the network. This plan doesn’t offer free calls, its just cheap calls to everyone. At the moment they are also offering bonus SMS when you recharge online. What could be better – Credit expiry is only 30 days. I think it would look better if it was 45 days. You can’t have everything. Overall I think its a great offer (thumbs up) and well worth considering if you make a lot of calls and txt in the month.
