Frequently Asked Questions
When is it worth upgrading your phone?
Generally worth upgrading when your battery health drops below 80%, your phone no longer receives security updates, or performance issues meaningfully impact your daily use — not just because a new model launched.
Is it better to buy outright or on a plan?
Buying outright + SIM-only plan is almost always cheaper than bundled repayment plans. SIM-only plans start from around $25/month in Australia for 20–30 GB of data.
