I've been a Telstra Mobile customer for probably 20 years - Until today.

Having watched by mobile bill go up 35% in 5 years ($65/mo - $88/mo) and getting no discernible improved value, it just got a bit too much. No more paying the lazy tax.

Have now moved to Felix, on a $40/mo unlimited data plan (throttled to 40Mbps) which as you can see more than half the price.

The transfer was remarkably pain free, all done from within the Felix app and a couple of verification emails.

@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

MVNOs in Australia: Which network is behind your carrier?

Choosing a smaller telco doesn't mean you get sub-par network coverage. In fact, MVNOs offer great service for a fraction of the price.
