ALDI Mobile operates on the Telstra Wholesale network
When choosing a mobile provider, network reliability can be more important than price. ALDI Mobile gives you the best of both worlds by operating on the Telstra Wholesale Network – Australia's trusted mobile network with extensive coverage across the country. Here's what you need to know about our network coverage and how it keeps you connected.
Australia's trusted network
ALDI Mobile is a part of something bigger. The Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network provides 4G coverage to most Australians, with 5G also available in many locations.
With this extensive coverage, you can make calls, send texts, and access data with confidence. For those who live in or frequently travel to regional areas, this reliable coverage is particularly valuable, giving you peace of mind that you'll stay connected when it matters.
Understanding mobile speeds
ALDI Mobile plans come with generous data allowances and competitive speed caps. Depending on your plan, you'll have a maximum potential download speed that ensures smooth performance for everyday activities.
These speeds are more than sufficient for browsing, streaming, video calls, and social media. Even our plans with lower speed caps provide excellent performance for regular usage, while higher-tier plans offer even faster speeds for more demanding applications.
Factors that influence your actual speeds
It's important to understand that mobile speeds can vary based on several factors:
- Your location and any obstructions between your device and the base station
- Distance from the nearest base station
- Local weather conditions like extreme heat or heavy rain
- Network congestion during busy periods
- Your device's compatibility and configuration
- The speed cap applied to your plan
For the best experience, ensure your device is 4G or 5G compatible with VoLTE emergency calling capability. This is essential not just for data but for making calls, including emergency calls.
5G access with selected plans
ALDI Mobile offers 5G access on selected plans, giving you even faster speeds in 5G coverage areas. To access 5G, you'll need a 5G-enabled plan, a compatible device, and to be within a 5G coverage area.
5G coverage is continually expanding, particularly in metropolitan areas. If you frequently use data-intensive applications or simply want the fastest available speeds, our 5G-enabled plans are worth considering.
Check your coverage
Before choosing a plan, it's always a good idea to check coverage in the areas where you'll be using your phone most frequently. ALDI Mobile provides a coverage map tool that lets you see the expected coverage at your home, workplace, or other important locations.
This helps ensure you'll have reliable service where you need it most. Remember that indoor coverage may differ from outdoor coverage due to building materials and other factors.
Device compatibility matters
To connect to the network, you'll need a 4G or 5G device with VoLTE emergency calling capability. This is particularly important since the 3G network closure, as some older phones can no longer make emergency calls.
If you're unsure about your device's compatibility, check the specifications or contact our customer service team for assistance. Having a compatible device ensures you can take full advantage of the network's capabilities.
No bill shock, just reliable service
One of the best things about ALDI Mobile is that you get reliable network coverage without the worry of bill shock. Our prepaid model means you always know exactly what you're spending, with no unexpected charges.
Combined with features like unlimited data rollover and auto recharge, you can enjoy consistent connectivity on a trusted network without constantly monitoring your usage or worrying about costs.
Finding the right plan for your coverage needs
All ALDI Mobile plans operate on the same reliable Telstra Wholesale Network, so your coverage will be consistent regardless of which plan you choose. The main differences between plans are the data allowances, speed caps, and whether 5G access is included.
If you're primarily concerned with having reliable service in more places, any ALDI Mobile plan will give you access to the extensive Telstra Wholesale Network coverage. If speed is also important to you, consider one of our plans with higher speed caps or 5G access.
The bottom line
ALDI Mobile combines the reliability of the Telstra Wholesale Network with competitive pricing and straightforward plans. You get extensive coverage across Australia, with no lock-in contracts and no bill shock.
Whether you're making calls, sending texts, or using data, you can count on ALDI Mobile to keep you connected with a network you can trust.
