Are you paying for mobile data you never use?
Make sense of your phone bill before choosing a SIM.
HELPFUL HOUSEHOLD KNOW-HOW
Understanding your current arrangements is the first step towards making an informed decision. Here's a practical starting point.
1. Check your last three bills
Look at data use over several months. Your habits may differ between weekdays, holidays and times when you are mostly on Wi-Fi.
2. Separate the handset from the SIM
Some phone payments include a device instalment or contract. Make sure you know what you are paying for before comparing SIM-only plans.
3. Think about signal and roaming
Network coverage at home, work and while travelling matters just as much as a data allowance. Check any fair-use rules and overseas charges.
4. Consider the household as a whole
If multiple people need SIMs, list each person's approximate use. That makes it easier to explore the options available to the household.
