Our Network

A great network.

Staying connected is more important than ever. That's why Everyday Mobile from Woolworths uses the Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network. The Telstra Wholesale mobile coverage area reaches more than 98.8% of the Australian population and covers more than 1.7 million square kilometres of the Australian landmass. The service provides 5G coverage reaching more than 75% of the Australian population.

Telstra's 3G network has now closed.


Ensure you have a 4G/VoLTE and/or 5G compatible device to use our service. For the minimum requirements, view our device guidelines.

In line with new legal requirements, certain phones will be blocked from accessing the network. This means you will not be able to make/receive calls, send/receive SMS, use data and not be able to call 000 in case of an emergency. To stay connected, you will need a new 4G/5G compatible phone. You can learn more at https://amta.org.au/3g-closure/ and https://amta.org.au/3g-closure-buyers-guide/.

Factors influencing your actual speeds.
Data download and upload speeds. The speed you will experience on your mobile device is limited by many factors such as:
  • The topography of your location (for example any obstructions of the line of sight to the base station);
  • Your distance from the base station;
  • The local weather conditions (like extreme heat or heavy rain);
  • How many other users are accessing the mobile network from the base station at the same time (i.e., number of concurrent users);
  • Whether your device supports the relevant mobile network spectrum bands;
  • The hardware and software configuration on your device;
  • Any speed cap or other restriction applied to your plan; and
  • The destination of your internet browsing session (eg a busy web server).

Speed caps.
Speed caps apply to all mobile plans which use the Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network. Available speed caps are 100Mbps, 150Mbps or 250Mbps.

Check your plan’s Critical Information Summary to find out which speed cap applies.

It is important to note that the speed cap on your plan is the maximum potential download speed for data included in your recharge/plan.

Typical speeds will often be lower, as mobile speeds vary due to the many factors listed above.
