New telecommunications service provider Konec Mobile launches in Australia
Australia’s newest telecommunications service provider Konec Mobile enters the market with the promise of bringing unparalleled value and hassle-free mobile connections to consumers all over the nation.
Realising there was a market gap to fill, Konec Mobile was designed to be an all-in-one solution provider. It brings three key propositions to Aussies – value, coverage and convenience. The telecommunications provider is working with various partners to bring value bundles to customers where it combines its prepaid mobile plans with a product or service offering. This is especially relevant in today’s context where household budgets are tightening due to inflation and rising costs of living.
For its launch, Konec Mobile is offering a $199 bundle consisting of OPPO’s latest A-series smartphone, the A57s and Konec Mobile’s $25 Essential SIM plan offering 22GB of data. The inaugural bundle will be exclusively available online at konec.com.au and through Konec Mobile’s first retail partner, Big W. With this bundle, consumers will receive $175 in added value while owning a new phone and SIM plan.
“This bundle with the OPPO A57s will be the first in a series of products being bundled with Konec,” said Jack Chang, Konec Mobile’s General Manager. “Big W was our partner of choice as we see great synergy with their customer base. The launch bundle is perfect for anyone wanting great value and a quality device without the exorbitant price tag. We’re also in talks with different partners – both hardware and service providers – and we hope to introduce many more bundles that will bring added value to customers.”
The brand’s launch also comes off the back of consumer research, which found around 87% of consumers, even those in metro Australia, ranked the need for regional coverage important. Operating on Australia’s largest network, Konec Mobile brings the best coverage across the whole of Australia, which means consumers can stay connected regardless of where they are.
The research also found that value for money (79%) and reliable coverage (65%) ranked as the two of the most important factors when deciding on a mobile plan. And whilst coverage is one of the leading factors, 84% of Aussies don’t believe they should pay a premium for it, something Chang believes Konec addresses.
“As consumers are starting to feel the pinch of higher costs of living, Konec comes in to address these concerns and provide consumers with the ultimate solution that merges reliability with affordability,” said Chang.
Customer at the heart of Konec’s plans
Australian consumers are often frustrated with poor customer service from telco providers, hence Konec Mobile was built with customers at the core. It brings greater convenience to customers, making it easier than ever for them to get connected and manage their account, and it takes only 10 minutes to sign up. On top of that, customers on Konec Mobile’s network have the option of data banking and data gifting giving them greater flexibility to manage their data usage.
Chang added, “At Konec, we make sure the customer journey is hassle-free from start to finish. It’s super quick and easy to get onboarded and switch plans, and you also have the ability to bank and gift data whenever you want.”
With aims to fulfil Australians’ appetite for value, coverage and convenience, Konec Mobile joins the market with its suite of mobile plan offerings catered to a diverse range of audiences. Its main offerings include:
Konec Essential – great starter plan
Konec Everyday – great for young professionals
Konec Starter 90 – great for students as the plan lasts a school term (3 months)
Konec Long Life 365 – Available to use for the entire year without the need to recharge
New customers will also get to unlock an extra 10GB for the first month upon signing up to the Konec Essential plan. The Konec Mobile app is available for download from the Apple and Google Play store.
