According to the Daily Telegraph, small flow packages are becoming more and more popular, with a monthly 1GB package costing A $10 a month.
Phone addicts may think the traffic isn't enough, but telecoms companies say micro-service packages are being sought after by some, especially for first-time smart hands and older Australians.
According to Hanlong (Joseph Hanlon) of WhistleOut's, a telecoms comparison site, such packages are "small contests" between operators, which offer non-contractual and cost-effective packages, which usually have unlimited text messages and talk time.
"this type of package is usually very popular with people who are starting to use smartphones, such as the younger generation who just got their first phone in their lives, or those who don't shy away from the smartphone trend." He said。
"the prices of these packages are really attractive, but for some people 1GB traffic is really not enough."
"but if you don't need too much traffic, the A $10 a month unlimited calls and text messages are still very valuable phone packages."
For conservative traffic users, 1GB is roughly equivalent to 3 hours of pipeline video per month, 12 hours of Facebook browsing or 6.5 hours of music streaming, Hanlong said.
