WhistleOut is a website that compares wireless plans, new cell phone prices and multi-line family plans. In Australia, the site also covers comparisons of fixed-line broadband plans, wireless broadband plans and subscription TV service offerings. The technology that powers the WhistleOut search engine is used by a number of major online publications, such as Australia’s leading news sources, The Sydney Morning Herald, News.com.au and Yahoo, plus popular technology sites like Android Central and Techradar.

History

WhistleOut was launched in Sydney, Australia in May 2008 and focused first on mobile phone plans. As the business developed, the search tool expanded to include broadband plans, subscription TV offers and financial services. Subsequently, the decision was made to focus only on communication services, and credit card and home loan comparisons were removed from the site. The Australia site currently compares over 16,000 plan combinations from 30 suppliers.

WhistleOut has appeared on USA Today, ABC Good Morning America, TIME, the Sydney Morning Herald, and News Ltd, among many others.
