Vodafone has long been the most affordable alternative among Australia's big three telecommunications providers. Despite a recent price increase to its mobile plans, it remains considerably cheaper than both after the recent Optus price increase and Telstra mobile plan hike.

In the past, Telstra and Optus could boast superior network coverage. However, the recent Optus and TPG deal has significantly boosted Vodafone's network. Now, Vodafone reaches 98.4% of Australians, making its coverage comparable to Optus' 98.5% and Telstra's 99.7%.

Plus, right now Vodafone's best phone plans are even more attractive than usual. For a limited time, you can get a AU$10 discount on every Vodafone plan which combines with other significant discounts on handsets – like AU$360 off the iPhone 16.

If you're looking for Vodafone's best phone plans for specific devices, budgets, and data needs, we've highlighted our top picks below.

If you're in the market for an iPhone 16, pairing it with the Vodafone Small Plan offers a significant price advantage, especially with the current double data and reduced price. In our iPhone 16 review we called it 'a powerful pick that mixes affordability,' and this phone plan further enhances that. This deal also includes a AU$360 discount on the device itself, alongside regular 5G connectivity and roaming in eligible countries for an additional AU$5 per day.

Samsung Galaxy S25 (256GB) | 60GB data | 24 months | AU$85.78 p/m

Samsung has a winning formula with its baseline S series, and they've delivered again with the Galaxy S25 – especially if you'd prefer to avoid a giant handset. It surpasses the iPhone 16 in performance, battery life and more, while offering Galaxy AI and excellent cameras. For just AU$85.78, it's a steal.

iPhone 16e (128GB)60GB data24 monthsAU$74.20 p/m

iPhone 16e (128GB) | 60GB data | 24 months | AU$74.20 p/m

The iPhone 16e is the best cheap iPhone – worth the extra cost compared to the iPhone 13 and a better buy in 2025 compared to a discounted iPhone 15. A fantastically low monthly repayment, this is a great option for those with a smaller budget. This price is considerably cheaper now than during previous Vodafone sales.

Samsung Galaxy A56 (128GB) | 60GB data | 24 months | AU$58 p/m

The Samsung Galaxy A56 is currently the best budget phone on the market – improving on its predecessor in every way and offering everything the average person wants from a phone. The Google Pixel 9a is a great cheap choice – especially if you need great cameras – but it's considerably more expensive.

Looking to purchase the biggest, most powerful and best that Samsung has to offer? There are few better ways to do so than with the Small Plan offering from Vodafone – especially considering the best plan for this phone was around AU$140 p/m when it launched. We called it "the ultimate Android" in our Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review, applauding its screen, battery life and AI tools.
