VPNs for ad-blocking Vodafone’s plans have changed a few times over the last few years but the current range is generous with data, and tends to compare well to Telstra and Optus, especially if you’re in the market for a new smartphone. We also like that the Vodafone smartphone range extends beyond just iPhones and Samsungs to include handsets from Oppo, Nokia, Motorola and Google. Currently, the most popular Vodafone offering is the $45 Small plan, which comes with 40GB of data. Every Vodafone postpaid plan also includes unlimited standard national calls and text, 5G access, no excess data charges and $5-per-day roaming. Plan speeds are slowed to 2Mbps once you’ve used your included data amount. Besides included max-speed data, the other key difference between Vodafone’s mobile plans is the international inclusions. Here’s what each plan nets you:
$45 Small Plan: Unlimited standard international texts $55 Medium Plan and $65 Large Plan: Unlimited standard international texts and 300 minutes to Zone 2 countries and unlimited minutes and text to Zone 1 countries
Like Optus, the coverage of Vodafone’s MVNOs is the same as its own 4G network. Telsta is the only provider that restricts part of its 4G network. If you’re worried about whether Vodafone can service your area, take a look at the coverage map below. If your address (and the places you regularly visit) are covered in purple, you should be absolutely fine with Vodafone coverage. There are still other factors that might impact your signal, but the map above is a reliable indication of Vodafone’s coverage in Australia. Eligible services for bundling include phone, tablet and mobile broadband plans of $30 per month or more, and NBN 50 and NBN 100 services. If you’re in the market for NBN and want that bundle discount, Vodafone tends to provide great typical evening download speeds. You can see Vodafone two relevant speed tiers below that will let you nab the bundle discount. Vodafone is also one of the few providers that offers discounted phone plans for seniors, with 10% off all its postpaid plans for eligible customers with a seniors’ card. Speaking of bundling, Vodafone wants to entice gamers to sign up to its services. Vodafone customers with one NBN service and one mobile service can discuss bundling a PlayStation 5 with their plans. The PlayStation 5 is paid off over 36 months at $22.22 per month, and additional accessories can also be bundled. Check out guide for getting a PlayStation 5 through Vodafone for more information. The real benefit for existing customers on a Vodafone Red Plan is that you can move freely from plan to plan, hunting down the best phone plans as they come up. If you look at user-generated scores on websites like Product Review and Trustpilot, both are below two out of five. That said, Google is at a comparatively respectable 3.9 out of five, which is slightly higher than Telstra but just below Optus.
