What Services Does Buzz Telco Offer?

Buzz Telco uses parts of Telstra 3G and 4G networks for its valuable customers. You will get the limited or partial network connectivity of the Telstra 3G or 4G network services. If you stay in the urban area then you receive the full network connectivity of Telstra 4G network.

The postpaid plans are SIM-only and are billed on monthly basis. Handsets are not available with these mobile plans. You need your own unlocked handset to use the MVNO services.
