Cmobile
Cmobile's C Blue plans (covered in this review) run on the Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network. Cmobile also sells a separate C Red option on the Vodafone network under the same brand, a genuinely different product with different coverage, not reflected in the plans or APN details on this page.
- C Blue runs on the Telstra Wholesale network, strong regional coverage
- Nine tiers from 10GB to 180GB, real choice for light or heavy users
- Unlimited calls/texts and eSIM on every tier
- International calls/texts to 15 countries included from 29GB up
- No lock-in, month-to-month
- The C Red (Vodafone) sub-brand exists under the same name, which can cause confusion when comparing plans or coverage
- No parent company disclosed on Cmobile's own site
- Data bank size varies by tier (500GB on the two smallest, 1000GB from 29GB up) rather than being consistent across the board
Cmobile sells two genuinely different products under one brand: C Blue, on the Telstra Wholesale network, and C Red, on the Vodafone network. This review covers C Blue, since that's the sub-brand with the plan data and APN settings confirmed for this site. If you're specifically looking at C Red, the network and coverage are different from everything below.
Current plans (C Blue)
Nine SIM-only tiers, postpaid, month-to-month, no lock-in:
Plan | Data | Price |
|---|---|---|
C Blue 10GB | 10GB | $21/month |
C Blue 15GB | 15GB | $25/month |
C Blue 29GB | 29GB | $30/month |
C Blue 40GB | 40GB | $35/month |
C Blue 65GB | 65GB | $40/month |
C Blue 100GB | 100GB | $45/month |
C Blue 120GB | 120GB | $55/month |
C Blue 150GB | 150GB | $60/month |
C Blue 180GB | 180GB | $65/month |
All tiers include unlimited calls and texts, eSIM support, and a data bank (500GB on the two smallest tiers, 1000GB from 29GB up). From 29GB up, international calls and texts to 15 countries are included too, along with a higher 4G/5G speed cap.
Compare these against every other current plan, including other Telstra-network options, in the full comparison table.
APN settings
C Blue uses the Telstra Wholesale network's APN profile. Cmobile's APN settings has the exact values. Note this is the C Blue profile specifically, not C Red.
The honest verdict
C Blue is a solid, wide-range option if you want Telstra-grade coverage with a tier that actually matches your usage. Nine price points is more granular than most budget brands offer. The catch isn't the plans themselves, it's the brand structure: C Red exists under the same Cmobile name on a completely different network, and nothing on Cmobile's site makes that distinction obvious upfront. Make sure you're comparing the right one. For C Blue specifically, it's a fair alternative to Belong or Tangerine if their tier spacing doesn't match what you need.
