Kogan Mobile
Kogan Mobile runs on the Vodafone network as an MVNO under Kogan.com's mobile arm, so coverage matches Vodafone's own footprint. Solid in metro areas, thinner once you're well outside them. The 365-day plans don't change the network, only the billing cycle.
- Widest plan spread of any budget brand, from monthly prepaid to one-off annual, 25GB to 900GB
- 365-day plans are a single upfront payment, no monthly billing to track
- Extra Large 365-day plan works out to under $0.25/GB for the year
- eSIM supported on every plan
- Vodafone network's usual regional weak spots
- 365-day plans need a lump sum upfront, not spread over the year
- Monthly Large plan's price doubles after the first six months, same catch as most Vodafone-network resellers
Kogan Mobile runs on the Vodafone network and offers the widest plan spread of any budget brand on this site. Pick monthly prepaid if you want to change plans often, or pay once for a full year of data if you'd rather not think about it again.
Current plans
Monthly prepaid, no lock-in:
Plan | Data | Price |
|---|---|---|
Small | 25GB | $23/month |
Medium | 40GB | $29/month |
Large | 120GB | $20/month first 6 months, then $40/month |
365-day prepaid (one-off payment for the full year, not a monthly charge):
Plan | Total data | Price |
|---|---|---|
Small (365-Day) | 140GB | $179.90 |
Medium (365-Day) | 200GB | $159 (discounted from $190) |
Large (365-Day) | 300GB | $240 |
Extra Large (365-Day) | 900GB (500GB + 400GB bonus) | $199 (discounted from $300) |
All plans include unlimited standard calls and texts, 5G access where the plan allows it, and eSIM support. The Large monthly plan follows the familiar promo-then-double pattern: $20/month for the first six months, $40/month after. The 365-day plans are a genuinely different structure. One payment, one data pool to draw down over the year, no recurring charge to remember.

The honest verdict
Kogan Mobile earns its spot on value alone. The 365-day Extra Large plan works out to about 22 cents per gigabyte for the year, hard to match anywhere else in this market. The trade-off is upfront cash. You're paying for 12 months of data on day one, not spreading it out, and the network is Vodafone's, with the same regional gaps as any Vodafone-based SIM. It suits a heavy data user who's comfortable with Vodafone coverage and would rather pay once than manage a monthly bill. Anyone who wants Vodafone-grade value without the upfront commitment should compare it against Vodafone and TPG directly.
