How much data do I need?

Data is playing an increasingly important part of our lives, however how much data do you need on your broadband or mobile phone service to cater for your needs? The below provides a guide as to the approximate download sizes of some common items downloaded of the internet.

4 Minute Song 4MB

30 Minute SD TV Show 200MB

2 Hour HD Movie 3GB - 4.5GB

In addition to the above, you will also download data when browsing the web or using social media sites or applications such as Facebook® and YouTube. If you would like to learn more about how much data you will need, call our friendly customer service team on 1300 228 123.

Bendigo Telco uses the Optus 4G and 5G network for our mobile plans. The Optus network is expansive and covers 98.5% of all Australians. To check for certain, explore the Optus coverage map here.

Absolutely! The majority of our customers transfer their existing numbers to us. All you need to do is provide your number, personal details, and account number with your current carrier and we’ll do the rest.

Please do not cancel your current service before you transfer your number, as this will make it impossible to move the number to us.

All our plans are SIM-only, which means that we will provide a SIM card and mobile service, without a phone. By bringing your own phone, you only have to pay for the data, calls, and texts.

SIM-only plans are also usually post-paid, as we are. This means you get billed at the beginning of the following month for your usage as part of your plan. SIM-only plans are usually better value and more flexible than other options.

We sure do! Learn more about International Roaming here. Make sure to refer to our International Roaming Guide for details on our inclusions and charges incurred while using your plan overseas.

We have both standard and eSIMs available on all our plans. Just let us know you require an eSIM and we’ll get it rolling!

All our plans are SIM-only and post paid. You will be charged for your usage within your plan at the beginning of the following month. You will receive an invoice via email or post, and can pay it online via your SmartCentre login, BPAY, direct debit, or over the phone. You can also pay in person at our CX Centre or at any Bendigo Bank branch.

Because we offer competitive pricing, generous data, and flexible plans backed by real Aussie customer support. Plus, you can elect to give back to local communities and project with every bill, for no extra cost — so you get great value and do good at the same time.
