Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest data-only SIM plan in Australia?▾
Data SIM Plan - 10GB by optus at $10.00/month is currently the cheapest monthly data-only SIM plan in Bill Hero's comparison across 60 plans. Prices are verified daily.
What is a data-only SIM plan?▾
A data-only SIM plan (also called a SIM-only data plan or mobile broadband plan) provides a mobile data connection with no voice call or SMS allowance. They are designed for devices that don't make calls — tablets, MiFi routers, portable Wi-Fi hotspots, dashcams, and IoT devices. Data-only plans are typically cheaper than voice+data plans at the same data allowance.
Can I use a data-only SIM in a phone?▾
Technically yes — most phones will accept a data-only SIM and will be able to use mobile data. However, you will not be able to make or receive standard voice calls or SMS. Some people use data-only SIMs in phones paired with VoIP apps (e.g. Google Voice, Skype) for calling over data.
What is the difference between a MiFi and a tablet SIM?▾
MiFi (mobile Wi-Fi) devices create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot that multiple devices can share simultaneously — useful for laptops, tablets, and phones on the go. Tablet SIMs are inserted directly into a cellular-capable tablet. Both use the same data-only SIM plans. MiFi plans may have higher data caps since multiple users share the connection.
Is eSIM available on data-only plans?▾
Yes — several carriers offer eSIM on data-only plans, which is particularly useful for tablets (iPad, Samsung Tab, etc.) and newer MiFi devices that support eSIM. Check the eSIM column in the plan table above for each plan.
Which network has the best coverage for data-only plans?▾
Telstra's network covers the widest geographic footprint including regional and remote Australia, making it the best choice for rural use. Optus and Vodafone have strong metro coverage. Data-only MVNOs run on one of these three networks and provide the same geographic coverage at lower prices.
