ALDImobile: prepaid value on the Telstra network
ALDImobile is a prepaid mobile provider that runs on the Telstra wholesale 4G and 5G network, so it reaches a huge slice of the country, including much of regional Australia, for a fraction of the price you would pay Telstra directly. There are no lock-in contracts, SIMs are sold in ALDI stores and online, and the range is famous for long-expiry annual packs. Here is everything you need to know about ALDImobile plans, coverage and customer service before you buy a SIM.

Coverage
ALDImobile network & coverage
ALDImobile does not run its own network. It leases capacity on the Telstra wholesale network, which is why it reaches so much of the country, including a lot of regional Australia, while costing far less than a Telstra retail plan.
Regional
Wide coverage
Because it uses the Telstra footprint, ALDImobile reaches much of regional and rural Australia as well as the cities, which is rare for a budget MVNO.
MVNO
Reseller value
As a Telstra-network reseller run by Medion, ALDImobile passes wholesale savings to customers, though wholesale plans can differ from Telstra retail coverage.
Check before you sign up. Coverage still varies in remote areas, and a wholesale plan can differ slightly from Telstra retail coverage, so always check the ALDImobile coverage map for your exact address. To weigh ALDImobile against other Telstra-network resellers, see our mobile providers guide.

Good to know. Every ALDImobile plan is prepaid with no lock-in, so you can change or stop without an exit fee. The long-expiry annual packs usually work out cheaper per month than recharging monthly, and unlimited data rollover means you keep the data you have already paid for when you recharge in time. For live pricing, always check the current ALDImobile plan pages.
Add-ons
Rollover, roaming & recharge
ALDImobile keeps things simple, but there are a few features worth knowing about, all managed in your My ALDImobile account or the app.
Unlimited data rollover
Unused data carries over when you recharge with the same plan in time, so you keep the data you have already paid for instead of losing it at the end of the month.
International calling
Selected plans include or let you add international minutes, and you can call overseas at pay-as-you-go rates from any ALDImobile service.
Auto-recharge
Set your service to recharge automatically before it expires so you never lose your number or your rolled-over data.

ALDImobile reviews: is ALDImobile worth it?
ALDImobile is one of the most praised value brands in Australian mobile. Customers love the low prices, the long-expiry annual packs and the broad Telstra-network coverage that reaches far beyond the big cities. The main trade-off is service: with no shopfronts of its own beyond ALDI retail, support is phone and online only, so it suits self-serve customers best. If you want big-network coverage on a tight budget, ALDImobile is hard to beat.
"Cheap, reliable and the annual pack means I forget about it for a year. Coverage out in the country is the same as my mate on Telstra." — Dale R.

To keep your number, choose "transfer existing number" and leave your old SIM in until the transfer completes, usually within about 30 minutes.
Recharge & manage
Recharge through your My ALDImobile account, the app, or by redeeming a recharge voucher bought in store. Turn on auto-recharge so your service never lapses, and manage everything, including any family services, from one account. For every contact channel, see our ALDImobile contact guide.

The Super Packs and Long Life plans give you up to 365 days of calls, texts and data in a single payment, so you do not have to recharge every 30 days. They are popular with moderate users who want a set-and-forget plan and tend to work out cheaper per month than a monthly recharge.
ALDImobile SIMs are sold in ALDI supermarkets and online at the ALDImobile website. The starter SIM comes preloaded with a small pay-as-you-go credit, and you can switch to a prepaid plan or annual pack during activation.
