Costs you nothing, you just need to buy a new card once you've used it all up. If you don't make outgoing calls/texts etc, you might be able to keep a $25 card for the whole year.I've just saved you $500 annualy. 1 Likes

I've switched over from Optus to Aldi (best move ever). $25/month for unlimited including calls/texts O/S, 20Gb data which rolls over.And yes, when you activate your Aldi service (done on line) you are asked up front about keeping your number. 1 Likes
