iiNet and Spintel take top honours at the 2022 WhistleOut Awards

WhistleOut, Australia’s dedicated phone and internet comparison service, today announced the winners of the 2022 WhistleOut Awards. The biggest winners were iiNet and Spintel, taking out the Mobile and Internet Provider of the Year Awards. Apple swept many of the device categories, including collecting Phone of the Year for the iPhone 13, while Felix Mobile and Belong won the inaugural Sustainable Mobile and Internet Provider categories.

“The WhistleOut Awards highlight the telco providers that consistently offer customers the best value throughout the year, while also calling out the best deals from the last 12 months. Anyone that’s interested in getting a better telco package will find something of interest from our winners,” said WhistleOut Publisher, Joseph Hanlon.

“This year we introduced the Sustainability Awards for Mobile and Internet Providers. Implementing sustainability practices into telco organisations isn’t only important from an ecological perspective, it’s becoming increasingly important to stakeholders and the choices they make. These awards look at the steps Australian telcos are taking to lessen their environmental impact in areas like CO2 emissions, sustainable energy sourcing, waste management and the sustainable practices of their supply chain partners.

“The WhistleOut awards make a great starting point for people looking to find a new telco plan or device, and winning any of our categories should put that provider on your shortlist,” said Hanlon.

“The WhistleOut Awards also recognise the best phones introduced over the last 12 months, including options for people on limited budgets and for those who are looking for special features. Apple secured four of the six awards on offer, including the Phone of the Year for the iPhone 13, Best Phone Camera for the iPhone 13 Pro, Best High Performance Phone for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and Manufacturer of the Year.
