Optus Black Friday deals include half price iPhone 16e and AU$180 off NBN

We’re still technically a couple of weeks out from the official start of Black Friday sales in Australia, yet it seems Optus is one of many retailers that didn’t get the memo, as it’s currently offering up to 50% off as part of its Black Friday deals until December 1.

As one of Australia’s ‘big three’ telcos, there aren’t any prizes for guessing what sort of deals you can expect, but with savings galore across SIM plans, phones, tablets and even NBN plans, you can win in other ways in the Optus Black Friday sale.

I’ve selected my top four deals below, but be sure to visit the Optus Black Friday store to view the full selection of savings on offer.
