Telstra

Telstra is Australia's largest mobile network operator, directly owning and managing the infrastructure. Access to this full retail network is also available through Boost Mobile, JB Hi-Fi Mobile, and The Good Guys Mobile. Their primary consumer offerings are contract-free Upfront plans powered by AutoPay.

While they sit at the highest price point in the market, they offer extensive rural coverage, 5G access, data sharing across accounts, and no excess data charges (speeds are capped instead of incurring extra fees).
