November 2013 NodeMobile Plan Changes
On Monday 25 November 2013, Internode released a revised set of NodeMobile plans. These plans are available now, for both new and existing customers. Changes include:
- The previous NodeMobile Value 30 and NodeMobile Premium 45 plans have been grandfathered.
- The new NodeMobile Value 30 plan includes 1 GB of data and all calls to other NodeMobiles.
- The new NodeMobile Premium 40 is available at a new price point of $40 - $5 less than the grandfathered NodeMobile Premium 45 plan - and includes 2 GB of data.
The grandfathered NodeMobile Value 30 and NodeMobile Premium 45 plans are no longer available for new sign ups. Existing customers may remain on these plans if they wish, or may change plan online any time to take advantage of the new deals.
