Most of Boost Mobile's plans aren't getting more expensive

Boost Mobile will be upping the prices on some of its plans from May 5. In good news for some customers, prices are only increasing on Boost's 7-day expiry plan and its cheapest 28-day expiry plan.

The rest of Boost Mobile's 28-day expiry customers will benefit from added data at no extra cost.

Here's an overview of Boost Mobile's mobile plan lineup, including what's changing:

Boost Mobile plan changes 2026

Current Price	Expiry	Current data	New Price	New data	Change
$13 SIM	7 days	5GB	$14 SIM	6GB	$1+ 1GB increase
$26 SIM	28 days	7GB	$28 SIM	8GB	$2 + 1GB increase
$39 SIM	28 days	25GB	-	30GB	5GB increase
$49 SIM	28 days	35GB	-	45GB	10GB increase
$59 SIM	28 days	45GB	-	55GB	10GB increase
	6 months		$180 SIM	100GB	New Plan
$300 SIM	365 days	240GB	-	-	No change
$365 SIM	365 days	365GB	-	-	No change

Boost is also introducing a new six-month long expiry option with 100GB for $180 per recharge. It's not clear at this stage whether that will be 180-day or 185-day expiry as there's no standardisation between telcos.

Boost Mobile is the only Telstra MVNO that uses the full Telstra network. While the current claim of covering 99.7% of Australians is disputed, its ahead of the 98.8% claim used for the other Telstra network providers on the "Telstra wholesale network". This puts Boost coverage just ahead of other Telstra sub-brands on coverage.

Here's a look at Boost Mobile's current 28-day expiry prepaid plans against Telstra's own:

Boost's price increase follows a similar move by parent company Telstra. Telstra's Upfront and prepaid plan pricing increased on most plans by $4 per month.

Boost Mobile is a real contender for a cheaper alternative. Following these price rise, a Telstra customer paying $44 per month for 20GB of data could switch to Boost Mobile for the same price as their original plan ($39) and get 30GB of data per recharge. You'd save $65 over the calendar year for essentially the same service.

Belong, another Telstra sub-brand also increased its plans by $4 per month. Optus and Vodafone have also each recently announced price increases taking effect in May.

While other Telstra MVNOs haven't announced any price increases yet, there's a chance they could follow.

Boost still tends to be more expensive then other Telstra providers. Here's a look at the cheapest mobile plans on the Telstra network with at least 20GB of data:
