Samsung Galaxy S21 from Optus

If you’re eyeing Optus for your S21 plan, the telco now offers 12, 24, and 36-month device payment options, which can be bundled with any of the month-to-month plans listed above. While you’re technically not locked into the plan itself (and free to swap between plans if you need), cancelling your plan with Optus requires you to pay off the remainder of the device before you can leave.

About Optus phone plans

A winner of Canstar Blue’s Outstanding Value phone-on-a-plan award in 2019 and 2020, Optus offers four base month-to-month postpaid plans. Prices begin at $49 for 30GB of full-speed data, plus unlimited standard national talk and text, and options are available up to 360GB. Plans also include endless data capped at speeds of 1.5Mbps, so once your included high-speed gigabyte allowance is reached, you’ll simply be switched to a slower speed until your billing cycle resets (meaning you won’t pay excess data charges in Australia).

All plans offer data sharing. Medium plans and up also feature unlimited international talk and text from Australia to 35 countries. Each Optus plan also includes free access to the Optus 5G mobile network where available, meaning you’ll be able to test out the S21’s 5G capabilities at no extra cost if you’re in an area with Optus 5G coverage.
