Data allowance and budget for Telecommunications is always a hot topic in this house full of teenagers. Recently , we learned some thrifty hacks that have kept our teens smiling while keeping our budget under control.

Firstly, we did a little research using some comparison sites for the best priced plans. We were surprised to find that there are a couple of low cost entry points under $5 for 1 GB of data per month as an intro deal, with a low cost ongoing monthly rate. Ovo was a clear winner for us, with the current deal of $4.98 for the first 3 months for 1 GB Data (then reverts to $10 a month). We were able to port any numbers, and it also includes access to Ovo Play which is essentially entertainment and sports channels. Want to hear how you can earn a cashback? Check out my page on Cashback Rewards and go to Shop Back and earn $2.50 for every new $4.98 Ovo Sim Card that you order. In the end we ordered 3 sim cards for a total of $14.94 and earned ourselves $7.50 cash back!

Need more Data? We also found Catch Connect to be an awesome deal with a low intro price of $4.95 and ongoing costs of $15.00 for 3GB and $25.00 for 9GB extremely competitive! Again, we utilised our Shop Back account to receive yet another cash back reward. This time spending $9.90 to receive $6.00 back!

Remember to check out the critical data for the sim card plans to make sure the deal is right for you, but it certainly helped us save a few pennies and we hope it keeps your teens happy too!
