There are three major mobile phone networks in Australia, namely: Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone. All three of them run 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. Telstra is the largest mobile network in Australia, with about 99% coverage of the population. Optus is the second largest, with about 98% coverage. Vodafone covers 96% of the population. But beside these three major mobile networks, there are smaller operators – mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) – in the country who lease wireless telephone and data services from the major operators for resale to consumers.
