Kogan Mobile has joined Australia's telco war, teaming up with Vodafone from Oct. 19 to offer low priced mobile services, including unlimited standard national call and texts, as well as data at low prices.

Kogan Mobile Executive Director David Shafer announced in a press release that the company has set a new benchmark for mobile deals.

"Kogan Mobile is back, and it’s better than ever. We're here to do what we always do — cut out the middlemen and save smart shoppers some hard-earned money,” Shafer said in the press release. "We continue to receive streams of messages from fans asking when Kogan Mobile is coming back.”

According to Shafer, consumers will turn out to be on the winning side of the partnership between Kogan and Vodafone. “This time, Kogan Mobile has cut out the middlemen in a direct deal with Vodafone, which means we can pass on savings to customers, whose service will be reliably delivered by Vodafone,” Shafer said. “We now have a network ally who is really supporting us, isn’t scared of competitive pricing, and has an interest in seeing Kogan Mobile succeed in the market.”

There are a number of offers for the customers to choose from. “Kogan Mobile 3XL” comes with unlimited standard national calls, texts and 3GB of data within the country for 30 days for AU$29.90. At AU$299.90, the offer is valid for one year, making it an 83c/day offer.

“Kogan Mobile 5XL” comes with unlimited standard national calls, texts and 5GB of data within the country for 30 days for AU$36.90. If anyone wants the offer for an entire year, they have to pay AU$369.90 up front, making it a AU$1.02/day offer.

Vodafone CEO Iñaki Berroeta said the company was proud to be the “network of choice” for Kogan Mobile.

Vodafone has invested AU$3 billion over three years into its network, and now offers 3G and 4G coverage to 96.9 percent of all people in the country.
