Australian Mobile Phone 'pay as you go' recommendations (aussie.zone)

Got a family member coming from overseas to stay. He wants to know if theres a well priced 'pay as you go' Sim available. He's very price conscious.

Does anyone have a recommendation they think we should look at?

*His handset apparently cant take an eSim though.

Pay-as-you go as in "I pay once a month for everything" or "I pay a minimum set fee and then all calls + data on top"?

Many of the cheap plans are only available as 365-day prepaid, which might not suit your friend. I use a Catchconnect 365-day plan that was super-discounted around new financial year last year (I think it was $85ish/year including all calls and some data on top, which is enough for me).

Some time last year all Optus MVNOs increased their prices. Moosmobile used to be $8/month, now it's 15/month.

Whirlpool forums are a great place for Aussie telco information.

I provided a HTTP link not a HTTPS link, I didn't even know there was a (broken) HTTPS version of this site. Your browser must have some setting or addon that auto-redirects to https versions of sites even when the site doesn't request it.
