Heres how...
So, we are HUGE fans of Aldi mobile over here. Its how we now save $1500 per year and put this extra money towards travel.
Historically we've been in Telstra contracts forever, and every two years upgraded to the latest iPhone.
After some research, we discovered Aldi offers prepaid sims, that run off the Telstra Network for a meager price? Like $25 per month for unlimited standard calls and SMS, 14 GB of data (with rollover), unlimited international calls and SMS (there are even cheaper plans too depending on your needs).
Insane!
This is so much more than what we were getting with Telstra and for a heap less money.
Tom was super skeptical, so I swapped first.... after noticing no bloody difference, Tom switched too and is now converting everyone he knows. And guess what?! They're saving a shit tonne of money also, and are experiencing NO difference to their service.
So I urge you to explore this option and start saving more money for you and your family's travel fund too. Between our family I think we've saved about $6K now. I've listed a basic 'how to guide' below to help you out.
Please note this is in no way at all sponsored - we just want everyone to enjoy the same savings we and our families now all have.
***Basic How-To Guide to Swapping from Telstra to Aldi Mobile***
1) Find out how long until your contract is up from your current supplier - see if you can negotiate an early exit and weight up if it is worth leaving early, e.g., savings vs. cost to leave. Decide to wait it out or leave.
2) Use a current phone or an old phone that you own or purchase one. We just used two old iPhones we had laying around the house.
3) Buy a Sim from the checkout at Aldi. The cost is $5 AUD. Or purchase online and get it sent to you via the mail.
4) Activate Sim as per instructions, and Aldi will do the rest, e.g., communicate with Telstra so you can keep the same number
5) Once all activated (about 10 minutes) set your prepaid plan and sign up the automatic recharge option so you'll never run out of credit.
6) Enjoy your savings!
