VPNs for ad-blocking While most MVNOs are not currently offering plans with access to 5G speeds included, there are still some decent deals available through the Big Three (and a few lucky MVNOs). In this guide, we’ll take you through our top picks for the best 5G phone plans. But first, here’s a look at a few of the most popular options: Just note that Belong’s 5G speeds are capped to 100Mbps. Telstra and Optus also recently jumped on the 5G prepaid train, but their offerings aren’t as good value as our top Vodafone pick, hovering around $60 per month. If you’re interested, you can check them out below. Regardless, if you’re only after the best coverage you can get, Telstra’s 5G phone plans have you covered. Unfortunately, that coverage does come at a premium, with the cheapest Telstra plan 5G data plan coming in at $58, which isn’t exactly as budget-friendly as the competition. If you’re after for a little more data though, look no further than the $68 Essential Plan. It gets you four times the data of the cheaper Basic Plan, plus all the same perks. That said, if you’re game to spend a little more there’s a ton of value to be found in Optus’ $89 Promo Plan. Currently discounted down to $69 per month for the first 12 months, this plan gets you a whopping 500GB of 5G data. That sum makes it our top pick when it comes to bang for buck. Since Vodafone extends the 5G olive branch to all its prepaid plans, you can get access from as little as $30. That said, if you actually want decent data inclusions (with infinite data in Oz at speeds up to 2Mbps afterwards), the $55 Medium Plan is your best bet. You can see all of Vodafone’s postpaid 5G plans below. As long as your current phone model supports 5G connectivity and you’re already with a provider that offers a 5G network (and plan to stick with them), you can use your existing SIM. All you have to do is switch to a 5G-enabled plan and you’re good to go. However, if you’re planning on switching providers, you will need a new SIM card no matter what. That said, we should start seeing 5G access roll out to more and more MVNOs in the coming years. If your current phone isn’t 5G compatible (and you don’t plan on upgrading any time soon), then getting a 5G phone plan would be a waste of money. If your current phone is 5G enabled, the choice comes down to two factors: location and usage. If you’re in a metropolitan location and need blazing-fast internet speeds for work (or play!) then a 5G plan is more than likely going to be worth it to you. If you’re in a rural area, it’s possible you won’t have 5G coverage anyway, so only get a 5G plan if you’ve checked the coverage in your area. If you’ve decided you don’t need 5G, check out our guide to the best cheap mobile plans.
