  The PAYG (Pay As You Go) rate is very high, $2/MB, but there are 'Data
Top-Up Packs' ranging from 17c/MB to 1.44ct/MB:

<https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/prepaid-mobiles/plus-packs>

  But as always, you have to look at the *whole* range of plans (Telstra
calls them 'Offers'), rates and Data top-up packs and Plus packs.

  Note that you can switch 'Offers' and that many positive conditions
remain when you switch Offers. For example when you switch from 'Long
Life' to 'Freedom Plus' - a very attractive plan for short-time heavy
usage - the 1 year (main) credit expiry time of the Long Life plan is
kept.

  And as always, look what is best for *your* (expected) usage.
Generally there is no such think as one-size-fits-all and in mobile
plans, there absolutely, definatively isn't.
