@bcshort Regardless of what network you are using signing up directly with #Telstra costs more. Most operators now have a #brandstrategy that means they operate their own #budgetbrand that avoids at least a part of that tax (e.g. in UK #BT operate #Plustnet which is significantly cheaper broadband) -
If you want to check what network your #MVNO operates on I found this link - whistleout.com.au/MobilePhones… (probably worth opening in a private window as it will be full of cookies) - I think #felix is on #Vodafone
