The best Optus mobile plans (June 2025)

Optus Small Choice Plus | 50GB Data | AU$44p/m (for 12 months with code YES20)

The usual AU$55 p/m price of the recently increased Optus Small Choice Plus plan slots it in between Vodafone and Telstra, but Vodafone's discounted small plan costs just AU$39. Right now, though, this 20% discount on Optus SIM plans brings the price of this small option to just AU$44 for 12 months – so it's much easier to recommend. You get the fastest 5G connection in Australia, plus 50GB of data each month, unlimited national talk and text and unlimited international talk and text to 35 destinations.

Total cost over 24 months: AU$1,188

iPhone 16 (128GB) | 50GB Data | 24 Months | AU$82.86 p/m (then AU$93.86 p/m)

If you're looking to grab the latest iPhone on the market but don't necessarily need the size or power of the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max, combining your new iPhone 16 with the Optus Choice Plus plan could be the way to go. This phone gets Apple Intelligence, the new action button and camera control, with 50GB of monthly data. Plus, Optus is offering the Apple Watch Series 10 for AU$99 with your iPhone 16. Remember to use code YES20 to get 20% off your plan.

Samsung Galaxy S25 (256GB) | 50GB Data | 24 Months | AU$82.86 p/m (for 12 months, then 93.86 p/m)

There's lots of competition when it comes to the best Android phone for most people, but we've opted to recommend the Galaxy S25 over the Pixel 9. Combined once again with the Choice Plus plan from Optus, you get an incredible smartphone at a relatively affordable monthly price. And, in this deal you not only save $400 on the S25 or S25 Plus, but also get a free Galaxy Watch7! Remember to use code YES20 for 20% off.

For those seeking a fantastic mid-range Android, look no further than the Samsung Galaxy A56. Cheaper than both the Google Pixel 9a and iPhone 16e, we feel comfortable calling it the best cheap phone in Australia. It has a premium feel with a metal and glass design, a vibrant 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display (120Hz!) and impressive camera capabilities. It also offers all-day battery and helpful "Awesome Intelligence" AI features. Remember to use code YES20 to get 20% off your plan.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max truly is Apple's pinnacle – boasting a giant 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display, the A18 Pro chip and an advanced camera system, we called it a "a beautiful, intelligent beast" in our iPhone 16 Pro Max review. If you need the data to match your massive phone, Optus' Medium Choice plan is ready for you. Remember to use code YES20 for 20% off your plan.

In terms of premium Android phones, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the number one pick – taking over from its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra. With a new look, better AI, and the same incredible battery, performance, and cameras, we think it's the ultimate Android phone. Right now, you can save $400 on the S25 Ultra and get a Galaxy Watch 7 thrown in as a bonus.

If you're in the market for a foldable phone, but don't want to shell out for the bigger, tablet-like Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a fantastic choice. It boasts a refined and durable design, powerful performance, and incredibly helpful (and fun) Galaxy AI features. While its cover display offers a touch less functionality than some might prefer, it still brilliantly handles the necessities without needing to open up the phone. Use code YES20 for 20% off your plan.

Playing games, scrolling socials, and reading on its expansive inner display is a marvel, while the cover screen works excellently as a regular handset. As we noted in our Galaxy Z Fold 6 review, it's remarkably close to perfection – and even more so with this plan. Use code YES20 for 20% off your plan.
