Pitfalls
What makes them hesitate
- The Coles Mobile 365-day plan for $120 does not offer unlimited data, despite potential misunderstandings.
- The Coles Mobile $120 365-day plan is primarily for existing customers and is no longer available to new customers.
- Most prepaid "free phone" offers require porting in an active number from a different carrier, activating a mid-to-high-tier unlimited plan (often $40 to $60/month), or staying with the carrier for a set period.
