Herald Sun: These are the financial habits you need to kick in the new year to get ahead
WhistleOut's Kenny McGilvary speaks to the Herald Sun about how checking the market can help people save money on their telco decisions.
Phone users are often left on plans that they “set and forget”, telco comparison website WhistleOut’s spokesman Kenny McGilvary said.
Telcos including the big three – Telstra, Optus and Vodafone – are constantly reviewing their offers because the market has never been more competitive as smaller players continue to roll out rock-bottom deals.
“If you get into the habit of checking the market, even if it’s just once or twice a year, you’ll almost definitely find a better deal than the one you’re on,” Mr McGilvary said.
“For example you can get no contract SIM-only plans with 20GB data for under $30 a month.”
As for NBN 50 plans Mr McGilvary said they start at around $65 per month and mobile broadband no-contract deals with 500GB of data begin at $70 per month.
