Among Australia’s Best Mobile Providers
Our 30GB SIM only mobile plan has won WhistleOut’s Editor’s Pick for August 2026, awarded to the best SIM-only plan with at least 30GB.
WhistleOut’s data experts judge plans on what they cost over a full year rather than the first bill, along with data and inclusions.
Ours came out in front on value: 30GB on the Vodafone 4G and 5G network with unlimited talk and text and no lock-in contract, at a price that stays competitive well past the introductory period.

Choose your planHow the WhistleOut Editor’s Pick works
WhistleOut is one of Australia’s best known comparison sites. Its monthly picks are selected by its data experts, who monitor changes across the mobile market, rather than by public vote or advertising spend.
They judge on pricing over 12 months, data allowance and extras like bundling discounts, international calling and roaming. The 12 month view matters, because it counts what you pay after an introductory discount ends, not just the first bill.
Plans are grouped by data, and this award covers plans with at least 30GB a month. WhistleOut says the average Australian on a postpaid plan uses around 20GB, so 30GB gives you a useful buffer above typical usage.
An Editor’s Pick also puts the winning provider into consideration for WhistleOut’s annual awards.
What makes a best mobile provider in Australia, and where Swoop stands out
Australia has dozens of mobile providers, from the three network owners to the smaller operators that resell on their networks. Here are five things worth checking when you compare plans.
Value
WhistleOut judges plans on their first-year value rather than the first bill, and rates anything at or under $1 per GB as good value. Our 30GB plan sits under that mark on its ongoing price, not just while the introductory discount lasts.
Enough data
30GB is about 1GB a day. WhistleOut puts that at around 120 hours of Netflix or 230 hours of music streaming, on top of everyday maps, social, email and video calls.
Coverage
Swoop Mobile runs on the Vodafone 4G and 5G network, reaching 99% of Australians – with 5G speeds up to 150Mbps on a compatible device in a 5G area.
No lock-in contract
Month to month. Keep your number, bring your own phone, choose a SIM or an eSIM, and change to the 50GB, 100GB or 250GB plan whenever your needs change.
