VPNs for ad-blocking Days after the new iPhone SE was officially announced, Australian mobile providers Telstra, Optus and Vodafone officially announced their competitive pre-order deals for the new handset. Starting from $59.97 per month with Vodafone (on a 36-month plan), the new iPhone SE is still the most affordable smartphone choice for Apple users but with fewer compromises than the last generation. Here’s a closer look at some of the best plans available for the new iPhone SE. Powered by the growing Vodafone 5G network, the Lite Plan is available on 12, 24 or 36-month arrangements. It comes with unlimited calls and text to standard Australian numbers and 40GB of monthly data (plus endless data capped at 1.5Mbps when you exceed 40GB in a month). Normally the Lite Plan would only get you 10GB per month but if you sign up by the 30th of March, Vodafone will chuck in an extra 30GB to use every month. Our top pick for the iPhone SE is the 24-month version of the iPhone SE plan but if you want to pay as little per month as possible, you can always opt for a longer 36-month arrangement (and switch it at any time). Here’s a small list of the very cheapest plans for the iPhone SE 64GB model. If you’d prefer another high-data plan without the caveat that you will be paying more a year from now, check out more high-data iPhone SE plans below. Normally $115 per month, the Extra Large Upfront plan is currently discounted to $65 per month for the first 12 months. That brings the total monthly cost (including handset repayments) down to $85 per month when you sign up for 36 months. Those fees will revert to $115 per month after the year is up so it’s worth setting a reminder to review your plan. The other big bonus that Telstra is offering at the moment is a 12-month Disney+ subscription, which itself is valued at $119. That’s decent value (at least for the first 12 months) on Australia’s largest 5G network. Not convinced? Here are some of the most popular iPhone SE plans that are 5G-ready. Here are the most popular iPhone SE plans through Optus right now. Not only does the regular pricing of Vodafone’s iPhone SE plans trump the competitions but the provider is offering a range of huge data bonuses to celebrate the launch of the new iPhone SE. Here’s a rundown of the most popular iPhone SE plans through Vodafone right now.
5G connectivity: Double-check that your chosen plan offers 5G. Just because a provider offers 5G doesn’t always mean your selected plan will. Be wary of promo pricing: The latest trend for mobile and internet providers in Australia is offering huge discounts for a limited duration after you sign up. Normally this works in your favour but be sure you to check exactly how much you’ll be paying over the life of the plan when comparing plans. Read more on the pitfalls of promo pricing here. Is 64GB enough? The plans we’ve compared in this guide all use the 64GB iPhone SE model. However, a 64GB iPhone might not have enough storage for every user. The iPhone SE is also available in 128GB and 256GB but, of course, those models cost a little extra.
