Exetel
Exetel mobile runs on the Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network, so coverage matches Telstra's own footprint. It's the strongest regional reach of any network an MVNO can resell in Australia.

Current plan
Plan | Data | Price |
|---|---|---|
Plus One eSIM Plan | 130GB | $40/month |
Postpaid, 30-day billing cycle, no lock-in contract. Includes unlimited Australian calls and texts, a 1000GB data bank for rollover, and unlimited international calls and texts to 15 countries. Exact speed caps aren't published on the plan page, but the network underneath is Telstra Wholesale, the same footprint as a Telstra-branded SIM.

The honest verdict
Exetel is a straightforward option if 130GB a month happens to match what you actually use. The single-plan approach removes decision fatigue but also removes flexibility if your usage doesn't line up with that number. The Telstra Wholesale network is a genuine strength, and the data bank rollover softens a month where you go under. The lack of a published phone number is worth knowing before you sign up if you'd rather talk to someone than use chat. It suits someone who wants Telstra-grade coverage on a single mid-tier plan without comparing five options first. Anyone needing more or less data should look at Belong, Tangerine or Cmobile instead, all of which run the same network with more tiers to choose from.
