  • I’ve been an E.Tel customer for more than a year now and I continue to be impressed. The network coverage around Sydney has been solid and I almost never deal with dropouts. Their plans are clear, affordable, and offer great value compared to others I’ve tried. Customer support has been excellent too - fast replies and helpful people every time. Definitely a provider I’m confident recommending.

Got questions?

Mobile coverage FAQs

How do I choose the right mobile plan for me?

Start with how much data you use each month: the E.Tel app shows your live usage. Monthly plans are billed on the 1st of each month and include free international call minutes to 75 countries. 28-day plans renew every 28 days, with no excess data charges. All our latest plans are 5G enabled, and every plan is SIM only, so you bring your own unlocked phone.

What's the difference between contract and no-contract plans?

A contract ties you to a provider for a minimum term. E.Tel plans have no lock-in contract, so you can cancel any time, in writing or through your online account. If we get your request before the 15th of the month, your service is cancelled at the end of that month; on or after the 15th, at the end of the following month. To keep your number, transfer it to your new provider before the cancellation takes effect.

Does my unused data roll over to the next month?

Not on our standard plans: each month starts fresh with your plan's full data allowance. Data rollover is only available on selected Seniors plans. If you often run short, a bigger plan is usually the better fit, and the E.Tel app shows your live usage.

Can I add international roaming to my plan?

Yes. Call us on 1300 383 588 a few days before you travel to activate roaming. You only pay for what you use, which suits occasional calls, texts and maps. For heavier data use abroad, our Travel eSIM is a better option.

Can I switch plans at any time?

Talk to our team on 1300 383 588 or at [email protected] and we'll help you move to the plan that suits you. With no lock-in contract, you're never tied to a plan you've outgrown.

Do you offer family or multi-line plans?

Every E.Tel plan is SIM only and chosen per service, so each person can pick the plan that fits how they use their phone. To add more services, talk to our team on 1300 383 588.

What's included in my mobile plan?

Every plan runs on the Optus network, with unlimited calls and SMS within Australia, and hotspot and tethering included (it uses your plan's data). Monthly plans also include free international call minutes to 75 countries and unlimited MMS. Your plan's Critical Information Summary, in your online account, has the full details.

How does billing work for my mobile plan?

Monthly plans are billed on the 1st of each month by direct debit. Your first bill covers two billing cycles: a part-month charge from the day your service starts, plus the full fee for the following month. Bills are issued within the first 15 days of each month, and direct debit is taken on the 26th (or the next business day). 28-day plans renew every 28 days.
