43,200 minutes of talk time. That’s 720 hours, divided by 24 hours per day, and you get 30 days.
That means 43,200 minutes of talk time is 30 days of non-stop talking, if it was possible to actually talk for that length of time.
Aldi says it is its new ‘super sized’ plan, that is ‘bursting at the seams with talk, text and data value’.
50,000 SMS means more than 1600 SMS messages per day, with 4GB of data being ‘a lot of cat videos’.

You also get free Aldi-to-Aldi calls and SMS, even though with such a plan you don’t actually need that distinction, because the 43,200 minutes already includes calls to ’standard national fixed lines and standard national mobile (on other networks), 13, 1300, 1800, and voicemail calls.

Aldi also advises that you can ‘set your Value Pack to auto recharge once it has expired so you don't have to worry about remembering to recharge again.’
In addition, it is possible to buy a 1GB data add-on pack for $10 if you think you will use up more than 4GB of data in 30 days, although Aldi says this can only be done once per 30 days and only once 70% of your 4GB limit has been reached.

So… it’s yet another competitor to Boost Mobile’s $40 UNLTD plan, MeU Mobile’s new plans and Woolworth’s Mobile plans, with Boost, Aldimobile, MeU Mobile and Woolworths all using the Telstra Next G wholesale network.
This is in contrast with companies such as the popular Amaysim which operates on the Optus network.
