The network hack: MVNOs use the exact same towers as the big carriers. Same coverage, same speeds — just without the brand tax.

Boost = Telstra Amaysim = Optus Felix = Vodafone

What is the "Loyalty Tax"?

It's what happens when you stay on an old postpaid plan with Telstra, Optus or Vodafone. They quietly charge you more because they know you won't switch. Here's the maths:

Common questions

Will I get the same coverage?

Yes. MVNOs like Boost use the full Telstra network, Amaysim uses Optus, and Felix uses Vodafone. You're on the same towers — the only difference is the logo on your bill.

Do I need a new phone?

No. If your phone is unlocked (most are after the contract ends), just swap the SIM. If your phone supports eSIM, you don't even need a physical card.

Can I keep my number?

Absolutely. When you sign up with a new provider, they'll port your existing number across. Takes a few hours at most.

What's the catch?

There isn't one. MVNOs keep costs low because they don't run physical stores or massive ad campaigns. They buy network access wholesale and pass the savings to you.
