The Solution

Make Expiring Mobile Capacity Visible and Verifiable

Every month, Australians collectively lose $9.9 billion worth of mobile data they paid for and never used. Urbyte is the only platform that makes it measurable.

You paid for it. Urbyte helps verify what went unused.

The average Australian mobile subscriber uses around 14GB of a 69GB monthly plan. The other 55GB expires. Not rolled over. Not refunded. Gone.

That's not a small problem. Across Australia's 26 million mobile subscribers, it's $9.9 billion disappearing every year.

What Urbyte does

Urbyte is independent infrastructure — not a telco, not an app, not a loyalty scheme. It operates above the carrier layer and tracks your unused data allowance each billing cycle.

Eligible telecommunications waste may be recorded as internal DBUs under Urbyte's documented methodology. DBUs are not cash, mobile data, cryptocurrency or a guaranteed entitlement.

What you can do with DBUs

Build a verified record: Track eligible telecommunications waste across complete billing cycles and review any supported pathways when available.

Givabit: Where supported, an eligible DBU balance may inform a separate charitable pathway. Any Australian-dollar donation remains subject to funding, charity and processor approval.

Which telcos are supported?

Urbyte works with all major Australian carriers and MVNOs: Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, TPG, Boost Mobile, Woolworths Mobile, Kogan Mobile, Amaysim, Belong, Felix, Tangerine, Spintel, and Dodo.
