Have you ever wanted to be part of a club of mobile phone plans? Club Telco offers just that, where buying a mobile phone plan ideally means more than just data and dollars – it means you get access to a club that also has a range of extra benefits. Club Telco is a SIM-only BYO mobile provider, operating on a postpaid basis on the Optus Network. Club Telco’s plans are all on a month to month contract, meaning that you’re not tied in for too long. Let’s see what Club Telco has to offer and whether it stacks up to the competition.
Club Telco Mobile Phone Plans
With a Club Telco plan you pay a mandatory fee per year, but get access to a range of benefits. You get membership to Infinite Rewards, an affiliated loyalty program. Infinite Rewards gets you access to things like travel, accommodation, movies, dining and retail perks. It’s like a lot of other corporate rewards programs, and Infinite Rewards claims to have saved members over $2.4 million in 2013.
How does Club Telco compare to other providers?
Club Telco offers a concise range of three mobile phone plans on the Optus network. While not particularly a slouch in any sense, the bottom line is that there are other MVNOs offering more data, calls and texts for your dollars.

Should I join the club at Club Telco?
Club Telco does offer international inclusions, no contracts and the aforementioned rewards program, but other telcos – even the biggest ones in Australia – seem to offer more data, calls and texts than what’s on offer with Club Telco. Club Telco’s loyalty program affiliation is a bit of an extra kicker, but companies like Virgin also offer discounts and other things for signing up to their own rewards program, so it’s not a unique proposition. For Club Telco to compete it may have to look at including more data, and unlimited calls and texts on more plans.
