Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest prepaid phone plan in Australia?▾
Prepaid Plus $13 by vodafone at $13.93 is currently the cheapest monthly prepaid recharge in Bill Hero's comparison across 67 plans. Prices are verified daily.
Do prepaid plans lock me into a contract?▾
No. Prepaid plans have no lock-in contract — you recharge when you need to and stop when you like. There is no credit check. Recharge periods are typically 28, 35, or 365 days. If you don't recharge before expiry you may lose unused data and credit.
What is the difference between prepaid and postpaid mobile?▾
Prepaid plans require you to pay upfront — you buy a recharge and use the allowance within the validity period. Postpaid plans bill you monthly in arrears. Prepaid suits people with variable usage or who want no commitment; postpaid suits those who want predictable monthly billing.
Can I keep my number when switching to prepaid?▾
Yes. Number portability applies to both prepaid and postpaid. You can transfer your existing number to a new prepaid carrier — the process typically takes 1–2 business days and requires your account number and date of birth from your current carrier.
Is eSIM available on prepaid plans?▾
Yes — many carriers now support eSIM on prepaid plans, including Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, and several MVNOs. eSIM lets you activate instantly without a physical SIM. Check the eSIM column in the plan table above.
Which prepaid network has the best coverage?▾
Telstra's prepaid network covers the widest geographic area. Optus and Vodafone cover most metropolitan and major regional areas. MVNOs operate on one of these three networks and provide identical geographic coverage to their host network at lower prices.
