There are Telstra mobile network onsellers which either onsell the full coverage Telstra network or part if the Telstra network. … There are other threads which provide information on these onsellers.

Boost being one of the most attractive appears to subcontract everything to Telstra, unlike the others using the Telstra network or Telstra wholesale network. They have a topic of their own.

Trying to move from Telstra to Boost Mobile - BYO, with no contract

It appears the reason Boost want you to go to prepaid is that they do not appear to offer post paid. You are right. The $12.50/mth is very cheap, but there is very little data allowance (=6.66GB/mth) with it. I assumbe that is enough for your needs otherwise you wouldn’t have selected it. Alternatives are available at WhistleOut prepaid mobile phone plan filtering. (Choice uses WhistleOut to do the phone & broadband plan selections)

Belong is a Telstra company, so be wary.
