With Australians reviewing their spending and everyday expenses increasingly under scrutiny, Boost Mobile is encouraging all Australians to check their mobile bill as a possible source of savings. Boost Mobile has just been recognised as the Prepaid Provider of the Year by WeMoney, as it steps up as a simple, straightforward choice for consumers looking to get more value. It is doing this with Boost’d data inclusions across its range and a new six-month long-life prepaid plan, on the Full Telstra Prepaid Mobile Network.
Boost Mobile’s plans, updated today, will see all 7‑day and 28‑day plans with Boost’d data on the first three recharges and increased core data, ensuring customers have more than enough for streaming, social media, work and everyday use. Prices on Boost Mobile’s most popular plans remain unchanged, while the $13 and $26 prepaid plans will see a small price increase alongside added data. It has also launched a new 6-month long-life prepaid plan, designed for Australians who want better long-term value. In addition, Boost is adding international calls to its $365 12-month plan and increasing data inclusions across all roaming packs from $20, allowing consumers to roam with more data and stay connected with their loved ones.
“Australians are being forced to make tough choices right now, but staying connected shouldn’t be one of them. With people actively looking for ways to cut costs, mobile is one of the easiest wins. With Boost, you can switch in minutes, keep your number, and instantly start saving with access to the full Telstra Prepaid Mobile Network.” said Bobby Geldens, CEO of Boost Mobile Australia.
“We’ve built our range of plans around how Australians actually use their phones today, with high data usage, flexibility, and control over spending.”
“Boost is delivering more value with more data and keeping prices as sharp as possible.” said Geldens.
Boost Mobile’s approach to value and flexibility has been recognised by WeMoney in its annual 2026 WeMoney Telco & Broadband Awards, where the brand was awarded “Prepaid Provider of the Year” for the first time, and “Best for Flexibility – Prepaid Mobile Plan” for the second year in a row, with judges commending Boost on its balance of affordability, reliability, and service inclusions, and ability to deliver fast, consistent connectivity and superior service. Boost Mobile was also named a finalist across multiple additional categories, reinforcing its position as one of the most competitive prepaid providers in the Australian market.
These awards have been shared alongside new data from WeMoney around young Australians spending habits including that 45% of the WeMoney audience currently spend $100+/month on their telco and that 50% feel they are overpaying for telco services**. WeMoney data further showed that 82% of Australians are actively looking for ways to save on bills, including 72% who have flagged they are actively considering switching telco provider within the next 12 months. It’s no surprise then, that when asked what matters most to them when it comes to choosing a provider, 96% rated Price and Value, closely followed by Coverage and Speed (86%), both areas where Boost Mobile has a proven track record and commitment to delivering value.
“To be named Prepaid Provider of the Year and Best for Flexibility by WeMoney is a huge endorsement of what we are trying to do by giving Australians more control, more data and better value when they need it most. Consumers want straightforward, affordable mobile plans with excellent coverage and performance that work for them” said Geldens.
With a 25-year heritage as a challenger brand, Boost Mobile has built its reputation on standing up for consumers and delivering great value on the full Telstra Prepaid Network. In today’s economic climate, that role has never been more important.
Despite the clear savings available, many Australians still hesitate to change providers, often due to outdated perceptions that switching is complicated or time-consuming. Independent research previously conducted on behalf of Boost Mobile* last year shows that 46% of Australians have remained with their current mobile provider for over three years, while 7% have never even switched.
“There’s this old idea that switching telcos is painful, but that couldn’t be further from the truth today. With number porting and eSIM, you can move in minutes. No store visits, no waiting, no downtime. It’s fast, it’s seamless, and it puts control back in the hands of the customer.” said Geldens.
