When selecting your next phone plan, there are many factors that you should take into consideration to ensure you are getting value for money and that you are selecting a service that fits your needs.

The first thing to consider when purchasing a phone plan is your budget. The carriers all offer different pricing points with Virgin mobile generally being the cheapest and Telstra being the most expensive. Generally you can get the equivalent plan on Virgin or Vodafone for significantly less than the equivalent plan on Telstra. If you have a low budget but more requirements in terms of calls, text and data then you may need to go with the cheaper carrier. Vodafone also often offers a Telstra promo code to lower the cost as well.

The second consideration when purchasing is the coverage requirements. It is important to check the coverage maps of each of the carriers to see what their coverage like in your street and area.
