Every month, Australians lose billions in unused mobile data to telcos. Urbyte converts that wasted data into DBUs — rewards credits you control. Spend it, redeem it for rewards, or direct it to causes that need it most.

Simple, transparent, yours.
Enter your monthly mobile plan and how much data you actually used. Takes 30 seconds.
Urbyte converts your unused data into DBUs — Data Backed Units. 1GB = 10 DBUs. Your data, your value.
Spend DBUs on rewards and gift cards, or direct your value to Australian causes that matter to you.
We're building relationships with Australian charities making a real difference. Our goal is to let you direct your DBU value to causes you care about — no middlemen, no admin fees.
These are organisations we aspire to partner with. Formal partnerships are in progress. Urbyte was founded by someone who lived this — these causes aren't random, they're personal.
My name is Jarryd, and I'm an everyday Australian — not a tech founder, not a corporate executive, and not someone who's ever benefited from systems being stacked in my favour.
Like a lot of people, I've lived week to week. I've watched bills rise while wages stayed the same, and I've learned how quickly small, "invisible" costs add up when you don't have much room to breathe. One of those costs was mobile data — something I paid for, budgeted for, and then quietly lost when I didn't use it all in time.
Every month, millions of Australians buy mobile data that simply disappears at the end of their billing cycle. No refund. No rollover. No warning. It expires — even though it still has real value. For people already doing it tough, that lost value isn't trivial. It's groceries. It's fuel. It's peace of mind.
Why should something we've already paid for just vanish?
Urbyte was born from that frustration. From the belief that fairness shouldn't be optional, and that systems shouldn't quietly profit from people being busy, stressed, or just trying to get by.
I'm not building Urbyte to get rich. I'm building it because I believe everyday people deserve better — and because I don't think big companies should be the only ones allowed to design how value flows.
Urbyte is about reclaiming what's wasted, returning it to the people who paid for it, and proving that a more honest model is possible.
To finally earn something back from Telco company!
Passing the data on to worthy causes and out of the pockets of big tech.

Everything you need to know about Urbyte and DBUs.
DBU stands for Data Backed Unit. It's Urbyte's rewards credit — 1GB of unused data = 10 DBUs. Think of them like loyalty points, but backed by something real: your unused mobile data. DBUs can be redeemed for rewards, gift cards, and more.
You submit your monthly telco bill to Urbyte. We calculate how much data went unused that cycle and convert it into DBUs at a rate of 10 DBUs per GB. After 3 billing cycles of verification, your balance unlocks for redemption.
Spend them on rewards and gift cards, or donate to Australian charities — e.g. organisations focused on mental health, homelessness, and domestic violence support. You choose where your value goes.
The 3-cycle window protects you. It lets us verify your actual average unused data before crediting your wallet — so your DBU balance is accurate and fair. Founding Members get their bonus DBUs immediately; the wait applies to data-backed conversions.
We're building support for all major Australian carriers — Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, TPG, Boost, and more. Join the waitlist and tell us your telco so we can prioritise accordingly.
Yes, anytime. No lock-in contracts. If you cancel, your Founding Member status and any accrued DBUs remain in your wallet — you just won't receive future monthly bonuses.
Absolutely. Urbyte only reads the data usage figures from your telco bill — we never access your calls, messages, or personal content. All data is handled under the Australian Privacy Act 1988. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.
Yes — but it depends on your recharge size. If you use all your data before the month ends, there's nothing left to bank. The key is upgrading to a higher recharge so you consistently have unused data at the end of each cycle. Urbyte converts that leftover into DBUs automatically. Think of a bigger prepaid recharge as a smarter choice — the excess converts to DBUs you can actually use.
We're currently in the founding phase and building toward our beta launch. Founding Members get first access. Join the waitlist or become a Founding Member to be first in line. You can access the Urbyte platform preview right now.
Stay in the loop — we'll let you know when Urbyte is ready for you.
