Optus or Telstra | 2020 Cost Comparison

 When wanting to buy a sim only plan in Australia, you’ll likely be tossing up between an Optus sim card and a Telstra sim card. Both are the current market leaders when it comes to sim and cell solutions across Australia, with Telstra as the largely favoured choice. Need a new sim? Here’s a quick cost comparison for buyer’s in 2020.  


If you’re happy with your current device, but wanting to change to a better service provider, you may want to buy a sim only plan. Both Optus and Telstra offer pre- and post-paid SIM only deals that you can consider.  

As Telco giants, both providers offer a wide range of plans to fit into a variety of different budgets. For this comparison, we’ll consider a basic, month-to-month Optus sim card plan against a basic, month-to-month Telstra sim card plan.  

With Optus, a basic sim only deal with a 10GB data allowance will cost you $39.00 per month. This includes access to their 4G network, unlimited international calls and data sharing across accounts.  

A Telstra, basic sim only deal from TeleChoice will give you a 12GB data allowance and cost you $24.00 per month. This includes unlimited national calls and texts, unlimited international texts as well as 100GB of Data Banking.  

When comparing the plans, you’ll need to consider more than just the cost of the plan. Both Optus and Telstra offer a variety of perks. Telstra offers data-free Apple Music streaming and sports streaming access. Optus likewise has free sports streaming access with Optus Sport.  

Beyond the added extras, it’s important to consider the network you’re considering signing up to. Telstra is known to have the most expansive network across Australia for 3G and 4G. Plus, Telstra is actively improving their 5G network.  

So, when looking to buy a sim only plan and comparing an Optus sim card versus a Telstra sim card, be sure to think about more than just the money.
