Cheap mobile plans (Australia)? (aussie.zone)

My current long-expiry mobile plan runs out this month, and has been discontinued. The options with the same provider (Woollies) are significantly more expensive, so I'm looking elsewhere.

My needs are minimal. An occasional phone call or text message. A few GB/month data would suffice. Any network is fine.

Because I don't need much, I don't want to spend much. Less than $200/year is preferable.

The best deal I'm seeing at the moment is OnePass $149/365 days . Do you know of anything better?

Check Aldi prepaid(edit: looks pricier than I remember).

If you need country/remote coverage, Boost prepaid yearly. About $300 though.

I'm with EzySim for my cheap annual plan. I change provider most years but it's normally around $110. I've used Aldi, Kogan and Coles in the past. Be sure to turn off the auto-renew.

Thank you, this looks really good. They have an EOFY deal going for $99.

Mines in November so I get EOY sales. But yeah, that's a good deal.

Yep the onepass or kogan, i thought the kogan was the same price but looks like it was a temporary promo thing, the closest is $10 more:
