WhistleOut's Kenny McGilvary highlights the competitiveness of Vodafone's coronavirus-led bill discount:

Telco comparison website WhistleOut’s spokesman Kenny McGilvary said he’s been “really impressed” with the different offers telcos have rolled out to help customers during COVID-19.

“Vodafone’s temporary $10 Stay Connected plan will be well received by anyone who is experiencing financial hardship and needs a great bang-for-buck phone plan,” he said.

“This $10 deal represents the best value for 3GB data available right now and we hope affected Vodafone customers take advantage of the deal.”

Telcos have been rolling out new initiatives in recent weeks to respond to COVID-19 including Optus who said doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers would not have to worry about paying mobile phone bills for three months.
