Vodafone is the third major telco in Australia and has shaken up the industry a bit recently with the way it tackles phone plans, including all-new plans for the iPhone XS and XR.
Vodafone has separated the phone from the plan, and this means that the only thing you are locked into is the phone repayment, meaning you can change plans month to month. Customers then have the choice of a 36, 24 or 12 month contract, with the former easing the burden of expensive phone plans over three years instead of two. Read on to find out what you can get in an iPhone plan with Vodafone.
Vodafone Plans for iPhone
Vodafone has separated its phone payment plans and mobile service, so you can change between the below plans as often as you like without affecting your device payments. All of these plans are available with any Vodafone-offered iPhone, although bonus data amounts may vary across devices. Prices listed don’t include your handset payments, but more information on the total cost of your phone and plan is available below the table. These are sponsored products.

Vodafone iPhone XS Plans
- 64GB 12 month plans from $170 per month ($35 plan + $135 phone payment)
- 64GB 24 month plans from $102.50 per month ($35 plan + $67.50 phone payment)
- 64GB 36 month plans from $80 per month ($35 plan + $45 phone payment)

The flagship iPhone XS is available on Vodafone’s 12, 24, and 36-month payment plans, which you can bundle with your choice of postpaid Vodafone Red or Vodafone Red Plus plan. The telco’s iPhone XS prices start at $80 monthly for your plan and phone, but you will need to spread your payments out over 36 months; the longer your payment period, the less you’ll pay each month (although the total cost of your phone remains the same).
Vodafone iPhone XS Max Plans
- 64GB 12 month plans from $184.91 per month ($35 plan + $149.91 phone payment)
- 64GB 24 month plans from $109.95 per month ($35 plan + $74.95 phone payment)
- 64GB 36 month plans from $84.97 per month ($35 plan + $49.97 phone payment)

- 256GB 24 month plans from $120.37 per month ($35 plan + $85.37 phone payment)
- 256GB 36 month plans from $91.91 per month ($35 plan + $56.91 phone payment)
The larger iPhone XS Max is, unsurprisingly, more expensive than its smaller counterpart, with Vodafone prices beginning at $84.97 monthly on a 36-month payment plan (including your mobile costs). If you’d like to pay out your phone over 24 months, you’ll pay from $109.95 each month for the 64GB model, and on a 12-month plan, from $184.91 per month.
Vodafone’s plan do come with some great extras, including frequent bonus data, international calls, and more.
Vodafone iPhone XR Plans
- 64GB 12 month plans from $137 per month ($35 plan + $102 phone payment)
- 64GB 24 month plans from $86 per month ($35 plan + $51 phone payment)
- 648GB 36 month plans from $69 per month ($35 plan + $34 phone payment)
- 128GB 12 month plans from $143 per month ($35 plan + $108 phone payment)
- 128GB 24 month plans from $89 per month ($35 plan + $54 phone payment)
- 128GB 36 month plans from $71 per month ($35 plan + $36 phone payment)
If you’re looking for a newly-released iPhone, but want something a little cheaper than the XS series, Vodafone is offering the iPhone XR from $69 monthly on a 36-month payment plan. This includes Vodafone’s entry-level Red mobile plan, which is available with 5GB of monthly data.
Vodafone iPhone X Plans
Vodafone had previously offered the iPhone X, however as the smartphone was discontinued, there are no longer stocks available through the telco. If you’re dedicated to an iPhone X with a Vodafone plan, you’ll need to purchase the device outright (from a retailer or second hand if stocks are still available) and bundle with a SIM-only plan.
Vodafone iPhone 8 Plus Plans
- 64GB 36 month plans from $66 ($35 plan + $31 phone payment)
- 64GB 24 month plans from $81.50 ($35 plan + $46.50 phone payment)
- 64GB 12 month plans from $128 ($35 plan + $93 phone payment)
As the iPhone 8 Plus is an older device, you’ll only be able to pick up a 64GB model from Vodafone. Prices for the 64GB iPhone 8 Plus start at under $70 a month. Users can stick with a traditional data tier on the Vodafone’s Red plans, or sign up for unlimited 1.5Mbps data on the Red Plus options.
Vodafone has really ramped up the competition in the iPhone 8 space with some of the cheapest plans going around, but be aware to pay the lowest monthly price you will probably have to stick around for three years. A positive, however, is the fact you can change your plan as your needs change.
Vodafone iPhone 8 Plans
- 64GB 36 month plans from $62 ($35 plan + $27 phone payment)
- 64GB 24 month plans from $75.50 ($35 plan + $40.50 phone payment)
- 64GB 12 month plans from $116 ($35 plan + $81 phone payment)
If you can’t be bothered with such a large screen as featured on the 8 Plus, Vodafone has some iPhone 8 plans that are relatively cheap if bundled over three years. Prices start at under $70, making them some of the most affordable iPhone 8 plans on the market on a 36-month contract. Like with the 8 Plus, you’ll only be able to pick up a 64GB model from Vodafone.
Once again, customers will have to sign up for three years if they want the absolute cheapest prices on offer. Alternatively, if you can afford the $110+ monthly fee over 12 months, you could be out of your contract sooner, and enjoying your iPhone debt-free.
Vodafone iPhone 7 & 7 Plus Plans
As both the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are older devices, you can no longer pick up either of these phones from Vodafone.
Vodafone iPhone 6S Plus Plans
- 32GB 36 month plans from $51.63 ($35 plan + $16.63 phone payment)
- 32GB 24 month plans from $59.95 ($35 plan + $24.95 phone payment)
- 32GB 12 month plans from $84.91 ($35 plan + $49.91 phone payment)
Even though the 6S Plus is quite a few years old now, it still commands a loyal following as it is the last model to feature a 3.5mm headphone jack. Beyond that, prices have come down a lot since its initial release, and users can bundle a plan for under $55 a month.
Should I get a Vodafone iPhone plan?
Vodafone is the third major telco in Australia, offering an array of iPhone plans with large amounts of data and other goodies up for grabs. Vodafone also features some of the cheapest plans out there, with the proviso that you sign up for three years. 24 month plans are on par, and for those who don’t like contracts, paying more per month over 12 months may work out to be more ideal. In any case, there are many iPhone plans from Vodafone out there, it’s all a matter of choosing the one that’s right for you.
