Vodafone iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max plans

Vodafone offers the full Apple iPhone 16 range of devices — the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max— on a plan. Once you’ve chosen your preferred device, colour and storage size, you can then choose to pay off your phone over 12, 24 or 36 months.

You’ll then need to bundle your phone with one of Vodafone’s month-to-month postpaid plans. Vodafone offers a simple selection of phone plans, all with unlimited standard national calls and SMS, with international call inclusions available on the two more expensive plans. All plans also include access to the Vodafone 5G network, along with no excess data charges, so you can keep using data at the capped speed of 2Mbps once you’ve used up your month’s high-speed data allowance.

Optus iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max plans

Optus offers the full iPhone 16 range, which is available to buy on a plan over a 12, 24 or 36-month device payment period, or you can buy it outright if you prefer. You’ll then need to bundle your new iPhone with one of Optus’ month-to-month postpaid phone plans.

All Optus plans include unlimited standard national calls and SMS along with access to the Optus 5G network, while all plans but the cheapest include unlimited standard calls and SMS to 35 select countries. Optus also offers no excess data charges, so you can keep using data at the capped speed of 1.5Mbps if you use up your fast monthly data allowance.

Optus also offers eligible customers the option to bundle a range of subscription services, such as Netflix, Paramount+, BINGE and Optus Sport, to their plan via Optus SubHub. There are discounts on offer when you bundle multiple services and Optus customers can also get Optus Sport at a discounted monthly price compared to non Optus customers.

Telstra iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max plans

Telstra offers all four iPhone 16 devices on a plan. Once you’ve selected your preferred device, colour and storage size, you’ll have the option to pay off your iPhone 16 over a 12, 24 or 36 month payment plan, or to buy your device outright.

Once you’ve selected your device and payment period, you can bundle your iPhone with one of Telstra’s month-to-month phone plans. All plans include 5G network access with uncapped speeds, along with unlimited standard national calls and SMS and 30 minutes of standard international calls. Plans also include no excess data charges, which means that once you’ve used up your monthly full-speed data inclusions, you can continue using data at the capped speed of 1.5Mbps.

Telstra also offers eligible customers access to Telstra’s rewards program, Telstra Plus, where you can get discounts on movie and sports tickets, exclusive concert and event pre-sales. Telstra Plus also offers rewards points which can be spent in the rewards store on items such as headphones, tablets, phones, tech accessories, gaming consoles and more. Telstra also offers the option to bundle a range of subscription services to your plan (for an additional cost) such as Disney+, BINGE, Kayo and Spotify.

Important information

For those that love the detail

This advice is general and has not taken into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider whether this advice is right for you.

Canstar Blue may earn a fee from its Online Partners for referrals from its website tables, and from sponsorship or promotion of certain products. Fees payable by product providers for referrals and sponsorship or promotion may vary between providers, website position, and revenue model. Sponsorship/promotion fees may be higher than referral fees. If a product is sponsored or promoted, it’s an ad and it is clearly marked as such. An ad might appear in different places on our website, such as in comparison tables and articles. Ads may be displayed in a fixed position in a table, regardless of the product's rating, price or other attributes. The location of an ad doesn’t indicate any ranking or rating by Canstar Blue. Payment of fees for ads does not influence Value Rank or Customer Satisfaction Ratings. See How We Get Paid to find out more.

Mobile Value Rank & Sort Order 

The data in the table is updated within 24 hours of Canstar Blue becoming aware of a change. You can find a description of the initial sort order below the table. You can use the sort buttons at the top of each column to re-order the display. Learn more about our Mobile Value Rank Methodology

Our Value Rank compares a plan’s data allowance over a calendar month which is approximately 30.4 days regardless of a plan’s expiry period. When showing results filtered by data, a calendar month average will be used.

Please note that the Customer Satisfaction rating displayed in the table is a rating relating to customer overall satisfaction with the brand, and should not be confused with an individual product rating. Learn more about Mobile Customer Satisfaction ratings and for more information on how the Customer Satisfaction ratings are calculated, read the Canstar Blue Customer Satisfaction Ratings Methodology.

The ratings shown are only one factor to take into account when considering products. The results do not include all Mobile retailers or products in the market, and may not compare all features relevant to you. Canstar Blue does not supply mobile services. If you decide to apply for a particular Mobile product, you will deal directly with the mobile retailer, and not with Canstar Blue. Fees, charges, product information, costs,  and contract terms should be confirmed directly with the relevant mobile retailer. 

Unlimited Data

Where 'unlimited' is used in relation to Data available on a plan it is likely to be subject to a fair use policy. Please confirm any terms of a fair use policy with your selected provider before making a purchase decision.
