Review	“If Grandma and Grandpa mainly use their mobile to receive calls from you, then having a long expiry will save them heaps. I placed my parents on this plan a while ago. Prior to this they we recharging with Optus each month for $10 and it cost them heaps. Now $20 will last them at least 6 – 8 months.”
