Bang for buck it will beat any Optus or Vodafone offering although its service will be fairly similar to Kogan’s Telstra based offering. Aldi has some experience as a Telco having run Aldi Talk and Medion Mobile before but don't expect a supermarket to have call centres and great customer service - this is cheap!
The pay as you go plans are $15 or $30 upfront (with 365 day expiry and 12 cent per minute calls and 12 cent SMS) or $35 (30 days unlimited calls and texts and 4GB of data) and you can bring your own phone or buy from them.
Aldi’s strength is its 300+ store network and its focus on customer service. We believe it will offer in-store recharge as well as via a web site.
