What is it that makes felix, the new mobile service from TPG Telecom, such an outstanding offering?

Telco Singtel Optus will acquire Australia's biggest mobile virtual network operator, having signed a deal to buy amaysim for $250 million, the company says, adding that it will also be launching a new digital brand gomo which is aimed at providing simple plans and budget-friendly services.

Phil Britt is the CEO and MD of Aussie Broadband, which just listed on the ASX, won a major customer service award, gained its first customer on its new Metro Melbourne fibre network, with Britt also winning the ACOMMS Communications Ambassador Award for 2020, and he joined iTWireTV via Zoom for a good all-round chat.

Circles.Life SIM products will now be available in Woolworths stores across Australia, and with 100GB from $38 among its plans and discounts available if you get a link from an existing customer friend, the Circles.Life lion wants to eat that "felix" cat.

While competitors have all kinds of unlimited talk and text plans with varying levels of data for any type of customer, Optus hopes its newfound flexibility fulfils its promise of "prepaid, remade".

It has been 20 years since Boost Mobile launched, becoming a massive brand in the US and a great success in Australia too, supporting a range of sports but also by offering and even pioneering genuinely competitive offers on Australia's best network.

Mobile virtual network operator amaysim has sold its energy services division to AGL for a sum of $115 million in cash, according to an announcement made to the ASX on Monday morning.

Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Amaysim is to acquire approximately 77,000 mobile subscribers from OVO Mobile for $15.8 million.

Circles.Life, the telco that promises a “more likeable than hateable experience” - and which launched in the Australian market in August - has created a S$1 million fundraising page via GoGetFunding designed to “bail people out from mobile contracts worldwide and to give the telco freedom the customers deserve”.

Is the answer to life, the universal and everything a circular equation? In the circle of life, the cycle of your phone bill has fluctuated over the past couple of decades, but in 2019, a new telco wants to square the circle of being "more likeable than hateable".

In the circle of life, your uncle murders your father but you end up beating the hyenas, becoming King and getting the girl anyway, but what does that have to do with your phone bill?

If you want more byte for your buck, then ALDImobile is hoping to tempt you into switching across to its Telstra-powered network.

With top of the line smartphones costing anywhere from $1500 to $2500 and beyond, and with smartphones lasting longer than ever thanks to OS and security updates, safely buying second hand via the security of a refurbished model can be a totally smart saving.

One of Australia's best pre-paid phone providers or MVNOs is OVO, and with its latest automatic mobile data increase limits should definitely receive a sustained and enthusiastic show of appreciation from its current and future customers.

The MVNO wars continue apace, with mobile virtual network operators offering excellent deals to capture the hearts, minds and wallets of consumers, with Boost's early 2019 plans no exception.

Optus Wholesale has secured an agreement as the Australian network partner for European mobile virtual network company, Transatel, currently expanding its global network coverage to support its Internet of Things offering.

The battle for the hearts, minds and wallets of pre-paid mobile phone users is raging, with Boost, Amaysim, Ovo and now Kogan Mobile upgrading data allowances in a big way.

The race to deliver ever large amounts of data has continued raging, with Amaysim's newest plan an obvious response to competitive moves and the quest to deliver ever better customer value.

With OVO's data allowances at least doubling across most plans during 2018, its provocation of fellow mobile and data players to capture cunning customers has reached its highest count yet.

As of today, Amaysim's 28-day $50 pre-paid plan offers a whopping 40GB data and unlimited calls and text in Australia, with unlimited calls to 10 countries, while the $40 plan now offers 20GB and the $30 plan gets you 10GB.
