Maximise your savings with ALDI Mobile plans
Getting the most value from your mobile plan doesn't have to be complicated. With ALDI Mobile, you can enjoy great savings without sacrificing quality or coverage. Here's how to make sure you're getting the best deal for your needs.
Know what you actually need
Understanding your usage patterns is the first step to saving money. Most Australians don't use all the data included in their plan, meaning they could be paying for more than necessary.
Take a moment to check your actual usage over the past few months. The ALDI Mobile app makes this easy – you can quickly see how much data you're using, along with call and text patterns. If you're consistently using less than 70% of your data allowance, you might be better off on a lower-cost plan.
Remember, all our Mobile Plans include unlimited standard calls and SMS to Australian numbers, plus unlimited calls and SMS to 20 popular international destinations. The main difference between plans is the data allowance, so getting this right is key to maximising value.
Take advantage of our 30-day expiry
Unlike many competitors who operate on 28-day cycles, ALDI Mobile plans run on true 30-day expiry periods. This simple difference adds up to significant savings over time – effectively giving you an extra month of service each year compared to 28-day plans.
When comparing prices with other providers, remember to factor in this difference. A plan that seems slightly more expensive might actually offer better value when you consider the longer expiry period.
Never lose your unused data
With ALDI Mobile's unlimited data rollover, the data you pay for stays yours. When you recharge with the same Mobile Plan, Family Plan or Super Pack within 24 hours of expiry, your unused data rolls over.
This feature is particularly valuable if your data usage varies from month to month. Instead of paying for a larger plan to cover occasional heavy usage periods, you can stick with a more affordable plan and build up a data buffer during lighter usage months.
Set up Auto Recharge for uninterrupted service
Running out of credit at an inconvenient time can be frustrating. With auto recharge, your plan automatically renews when it expires, ensuring you stay connected without having to remember manual top-ups.
Beyond the convenience, auto recharge helps you maintain your data rollover benefits by ensuring you recharge within the required timeframe. It's a simple way to maximise the value of your plan while minimising hassle.
Consider a Family Plan for household savings
If multiple people in your household need mobile service, our Family Plans can offer substantial savings. Designed for 2-6 users, these plans pool data while providing individual call and text allowances.
The shared data approach means you're less likely to have unused data across multiple plans – instead, heavier users can draw from the pool when needed, while lighter users contribute to the shared resource.
Bring your own device
All ALDI Mobile plans are SIM-only prepaid plans, meaning you can bring your existing phone and avoid the often hidden costs of handset repayments. If you've recently paid off a phone with another provider, switching to ALDI Mobile could significantly reduce your monthly mobile expenses.
Even if you're looking for a new phone, consider purchasing it outright and pairing it with an ALDI Mobile plan – the long-term savings often outweigh the initial investment.
Use Wi-Fi strategically
Make your mobile data go further by connecting to Wi-Fi whenever possible. Download or update apps, back up photos, and stream video content while connected to Wi-Fi to minimise mobile data usage.
For security, always verify the network's legitimacy before connecting, especially in public places. At home, confirm your Wi-Fi connection has an unlimited data plan to prevent unexpected charges.
Regularly reassess your plan
Your mobile needs can change over time. Set a calendar reminder to review your usage in the My ALDI Mobile self-care portal every few months and adjust your plan accordingly. With no lock-in contracts, ALDI Mobile makes it easy to move between plans as your needs change.
The freedom to switch plans means you never need to pay for more than you use – if you find yourself consistently under or over your data allowance, simply change to a more suitable plan for your next recharge.

Maximising savings with ALDI Mobile comes down to choosing the right plan for your needs, taking advantage of features like data rollover and auto recharge, and being mindful of your usage patterns.
