Kogan Mobile famously exited the Australia telco market in August 2013 due to issues with a Telstra network reseller, but it was announced that they are re-launching the service today, this time with Vodafone backing. Kogan has been dominating online retail sales in Australia for some time now, and particularly in the area of smartphones, so it is logical that they would want to have their own service to offer to customers buying devices outright. Much like Kogan’s retail service, Kogan Mobile appears to offer its phone services at prices that are extremely competitive.
The Kogan Mobile 3XL plan offers unlimited calls and messages with 3GB data for $29.90 AUD for 30 days, or you can get a year’s worth of service by paying 10 months-worth – i.e. $299.90 AUD - up front; that equates to $24.65 AUD for every 30 days. Likewise, the Kogan Mobile 5XL plan offers unlimited calls and messages with 5GB data for $36.90 AUD for 30 days, or $369.90 AUD up front (or about $30.41 AUD for 30 days). To be able to offer such aggressive pricing, Kogan quotes their ability to “cut out the middleman”, and we have to say the results are impressive. We do wonder why there isn’t an unlimited data plan, but then again Australia has always struggled with that idea.
If these sound like the kind of plans you want, you can access them now from koganmobile.com.au. What do you think about Kogan Mobile’s return? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
