Mobile FAQs

What is a SIM-only mobile plan?

A SIM-only plan provides a SIM card with a data, calls and SMS allowance — but no handset. You use your own phone. SIM-only plans are typically 30–60% cheaper than plans that bundle a new handset, making them ideal if you already own a compatible device.

Can I keep my phone number when I switch providers?

Yes. Number portability lets you transfer your existing mobile number to any provider. The port usually completes within 1–2 hours of activating your new SIM. Continue using your old SIM until the port is confirmed.

What is the difference between Telstra, Optus and Vodafone coverage?

Telstra covers approximately 99.5% of the population with the widest regional and rural reach. Optus covers around 98.5% and is strong in metro and regional centres. Vodafone covers approximately 96%, focused on urban areas. Many MVNOs (Boost, Amaysim, Woolworths Mobile etc.) operate on these networks at lower prices.

What is an MVNO and is it worth switching to one?

An MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) resells capacity on a major network (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) — often at significantly lower prices. For example, Boost Mobile uses the Telstra network and can be 40–60% cheaper. If you're in a metro area, an MVNO is often excellent value.

How much mobile data do I need per month?

Light users (social media, messaging, maps): 5–15GB. Average users (streaming music, browsing, some video): 20–50GB. Heavy users (video streaming, hotspot tethering, gaming): 80GB+. Many plans now offer unlimited data with speed-capped tiers after a threshold.

Is Pick A Deal free to use for mobile comparisons?

Yes, completely free. We compare plans objectively and are paid a referral fee by providers only when you connect — you never pay more than going direct.
