Some things to know
The Mobile Deal Finder uses average values to work out the numbers.
• All calls are calculated on a per minute basis for an apples-to-apples comparison between plans. This means that it doesn’t matter if a service provider’s call rates are per second, per 30 seconds or per minute. You get a balanced view irrespective. However, if you frequently make calls that last less than 1 min, you will get more value on a plan that has per second billing. This difference keeps reducing as your calls get longer.
• Some plans come with included minutes in addition to included value. Here we convert these minutes to their equivalent dollar value to make it easy to compare different plans.
• Voice calls are assumed to be 3 mins on average.
• Voicemail calls are assumed to be 1 min on average

What is the difference between results from major carriers and all service providers?
Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and Three are classified as major carriers for the simple reason that they cover 95% of the Australian market amongst them. Having said that, sometimes smaller re-sellers can have plans that would suit you better, so be sure to check everything before making a decision.

Why can’t I find the plan I’m on in the results?
Only plans that are currently available to new connections come up in the results. If you don’t see the plan you are currently on, it is likely that the service provider has taken it off the market for new connections

How do I find phones that are on a monthly payment plan?
Most of the major service providers let you buy phones and other hardware on no-interest plans. This format is variously called a monthly payment plan, hardware payment plan, easy payment plan or monthly repayment option. You can spread the cost of the phone over the term of your contract by paying a fixed amount each month on top of the plan charges.
We don’t include these phones in our results since handset costs vary from store to store. If you do decide to take this option, be sure to shop around and negotiate the cost of the hardware before signing any contracts.

How accurate are the recommendations?
In most cases, the recommendations are very accurate since the Mobile Deal Finder actually tests every single plan in our database for your usage. The results will obviously depend on how well your actual usage matches with the information you provide.
If your calling pattern varies a lot from month to month, provide data from the higher activity months - that way you give yourself a buffer for unexpectedly busy times.
