WhistleOut, Australia’s dedicated phone and internet comparison service, today announced the winners of the 2023 WhistleOut Awards. The biggest winners were TPG and Tangerine, taking out the Mobile and Internet Provider of the Year Awards. Google took home Phone of the Year for the Google Pixel 7a and also the Manufacturer of the Year award.
There were a number of repeat winners, with a select few providers having now won individual categories three, four and even five years in a row.
“The WhistleOut Awards highlight the best phone plans, internet plans and devices from the last 12 months. Anyone that wants a better telco package will find something of interest from our winners,” said WhistleOut Managing Editor, Alex Choros.
“It’s no secret that the cost of living has increased over the last 12 months, so value for money is what most people are looking for in a telco product,”
“We especially want to commend the carriers who’ve consistently offered competitive plans in tough economic times, and the phone manufacturers who’ve offered great value devices that won’t break the bank,”
“While we have seen a lot of price increases in the last financial year – both in the plans and handset space – there are still more affordable options, and we hope the WhistleOut Awards help highlight some alternatives Aussies might not have considered,” said Choros.
All the 2023 WhistleOut Award winners are listed below, and for full details including all the runner up providers and highly commended handsets please visit the WhistleOut Mobile Awards and Internet Awards pages.
