$168 a month back into food, not phone bills

Last week we spoke to a regional Not-for-Profit that rescues surplus food and redistributes it to the people who need it most -such as food relief agencies, shelters, community groups, and families doing it tough. Like most NFPs, they run lean: every dollar saved on overheads is a dollar that can go straight back into the mission.

So we did what we do for every prospective customer - a full audit of their existing phone, internet and phone system costs, mapped line by line against what Goodtel could offer instead.

Before: $419.32/month across mobiles, mobile broadband, business NBN and an ageing phone system.
After: $250.68/month on equivalent Goodtel plans, plus a small $453 one-off for a replacement modem.

The result: $168.64 saved every month - a 40.2% reduction, with no drop in service.

Annualised, that’s over $2,000 a year back in their hands, with the one-off cost paying for itself in under three months. No fewer services, no compromise - just a like-for-like comparison that came out decisively in their favour.

It’s exactly the kind of outcome Goodtel exists to deliver. As Australia’s only B Corp telco built solely for the not-for-profit sector, we design every plan so NFPs pay less and we can donate 50% of profits back to charity. 

For an organisation already stretching every dollar as far as it can go, that’s not a nice-to-have - it’s real money redirected to real impact.
