After the closure of the Catch online marketplace, its associated telco brand, Catch Connect, will now be known as OnePass mobile.
Catch’s parent company Wesfarmers announced the online store’s closure in January. Following this, Optus, Catch Connect’s network provider, confirmed that the budget telco would continue to operate.
In February, there was some confusion about the future of Catch Connect due to the wording of a message from an affiliate partnership company. However, this was clarified to refer solely to the closure of Catch.com.au.
Under the new OnePass mobile branding, existing Catch Connect customers don’t need to take any action. According to the official FAQs, the service remains the same, with customers being automatically migrated. At this stage, the prices and plans stay in place, as does the Optus 4G network connectivity.
“With OnePass mobile, we now have a unique opportunity to connect more Australians to a seamless, integrated experience across shopping, rewards, and mobile. This marks the start of an exciting new chapter,” said Vir Nath, Head of Challenger Brands at Optus, in a media statement.
OnePass mobile promises a “smarter, simpler, and better connected” service with “deeper integration” with the overall OnePass platform.
It’s unknown what those integrations will entail; a $4 monthly OnePass subscription includes free delivery from stores like Kmart and Bunnings, in addition to 5x Flybuys points at various stores.
OnePass mobile’s current cheapest SIM plan starts at $10 for the first 28 days, including 15GB of data. Here’s how that compares to other prepaid plans on the market:
Meanwhile, the telco also has a 365-day plan for $169, coming with 280GB of data. It’s pretty competitive alongside other long-expiry plans:
