Woman amazed by mobile phone

Vaya mobile has overhauled its SIM-only plans, adding 70GB of extra data across five plans. All plans are contract-free and now come with:

  • 3GB for $16 (was 2GB)
  • 18GB for $24 (was 6GB)
  • 38GB for $36 (was 15GB)
  • 50GB for $44 (was 30GB)
  • 64GB for $56 (was 50GB)

The extra data makes Vaya plans much more competitive across the market. On almost every data tier, Vaya's plans are the cheapest SIM-only contract-free offering.

Here's how Vaya's new plans compare to 18GB no-contract plans:

While the value of Vaya's refreshed plans is certainly impressive, it's worth noting that there are better value deals around if you're willing to sign a 12-month contract. Here's a look at a few contract SIM-only deals on the 18GB data tier:

During the plan refresh, Vaya also killed off its 6-month contract plans, which came with:

  • 8GB for $24
  • 20GB for $36
  • 40GB for $44
  • 60GB for $56

Vaya mobile is owned by amaysim and offers coverage on the Optus network. All plans come with unlimited talk and text.
