Prepaid Mobile Review – Vodafone Prepaid Mobile (April 2012)
Vodafone have expanded their Prepaid Cap range with the launch this week of the $50 prepaid cap, adding to the already popular $30 Cap. The original launched with $450 in calls, 500MB (unlimited social media) and unlimited Txt. The new $50 Cap has $1000 in calls, 3GB of data (unlimited social media) and unlimited Txt. Just note that the website says that data is charged per MB (the $30 Cap has it charged at 25KB). Credit lasts 30 days. Two minute call costs $2.20. Let’s compare it to some of the others eg Telstra, Optus, Virgin and Woolworths Mobile Optus – New Turbo Cap Plus ($50 recharge) offers $1000 in calls, unlimited Txt/MMS, unlimited calls to Optus, 3GB of data (charged p/MB) plus unlimited social media. Credit lasts 28 days. Two minute call costs $2.17. Telstra – Prepaid Cap Encore ($50 recharge) offers $1000 in calls, 2GB of data (charged p/KB), unlimited calls to anyone from 6pm – 6am. Credit lasts 30 days. Two minute call costs $2.17 Virgin – Your Caps ($49 recharge) offers $800 in calls, unlimited calls to Virgin, 1GB of data (charged 60/KB). Credit lasts 30 days. Two minute call costs $2.20. Woolworths Mobile – $49 Cap offers $1000 in credit ($500 to other Optus Mobile customers) plus 5GB of data (charged p/MB). Credits lasts 45 days. Two minute calls is $2.17. From what I have collected above it is competitive but it isn’t the leader. Optus’ offer is probably the most competitive on face value but I wouldn’t write-off Telstra’s offer either. 2GB of data at per/KB is atleast as valuable as 3GB. Telstra doesn’t have unlimited social media access but they do have unlimited calls in the evening for the next 3 months (likely to be extended again). Vodafone also offer their All-time unlimited prepaid mobile plan for $50. It has unlimited calls, Txt and MMS, voicemail, 1GB data + unlimited Facebook and Twitter (data at p/25kb) plus $50 FlexiCredit to be used on anything you want. Therefore if it is calls you want to make, going unlimited is probably your best bet, although the data is lower.
