Dodo’s Price Hike and Speed Cap Change - Worth Switching Plans?

Dodo’s plan used to be perfect for me. I’d always hit the 2GB cap, but the unlimited calls, texts, and 1Mbps unlimited data worked just fine. Now, they’ve raised the price from $10 to $15 and reduced the speed cap to 256Kbps, which has made it much less usable.

I’m thinking of switching to Amaysim’s $5 unlimited call/text-only SIM ($60 yearly) and using the extra savings to find a $5-$10 data-only SIM as second SIM card. But I’m struggling to find unlimited (capped) data at all now within that price point.

Has anyone made a similar switch, or do you have better suggestions for a budget-friendly setup?

I’m not big on SIM-slutting since I don’t want to risk losing my number, but I’m open to moving around from time to time.

    I posted a thread here about this very problem a few months ago after my $10 plan with Circles was bumped up to $15. I switched to an annual prepaid SIM with Catch, it works out to an equivalent of something like $7 a month for ~ 5 GB of data a month (plus unlimited standard calls/texts). Prices were pretty low back then due to EOFY sales but you might find it still works out cheaper now.
