Here are the Black Friday mobile deals from Optus, Telstra and Vodafone

Optus’ postpaid mobile Black Friday deals primarily work around pairing up a new handset with an existing plan where you pay the handset off over 24 or 36 months, including the following:

• $500 off RRP on the 128GB Galaxy S24 FE
• $500 off RRP on the 256GB Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
• $800 off RRP on the Google Pixel 9 Pro
• $650 off RRP on the 256GB Motorola razr 50
• $800 off RRP on the 256GB Pixel 9 Pro Fold
• $500 off RRP on the 256GB Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

All of Optus’ mobile phone plans presume you’ll stay on a postpaid contract with Optus. Here’s how those plans look right now to help you compare and save the most money:

On the prepaid side of its Black Friday offerings, Optus has a trio of offers to tempt you:

• 65% off a $35 SIM, costing you just $12 for the first 28 day cycle, then $35 after that with 55GB of data and unlimited standard national calls and texts.
• $100 off a 280GB 365 day SIM at $220. That’s for 365 days expiry, obviously, but you also get that 280GB offer for the next two recharges after that, after which – in three years time – it drops to 200GB.
• $179 Samsung Prepaid Phone Bundle: $70 off the cost of the Samsung Galaxy A05s plus the $35 SIM offer above, for a total claimed value of $285 saving $105.

Vodafone has quite a wide swathe of deals for postpaid buyers. First up, on the handset side:

• $1299 off the price of any iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro model if you sign up to the Vodafone $79 plan and stay connected for 36 months
• $10/month off the small plan fee, bringing it to $39/month with 50GB of data when you also sign up for a phone with that plan.
• $1099 off the RRP of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra if you sign up to the Vodafone $69 plan and stay connected for 36 months
• $1099 off the RRP of the iPhone 15 Pro Max if you sign up to the Vodafone $69 plan and stay connected for 36 months
• $1099 off the RRP of the iPhone 15 if you sign up to the Vodafone $69 plan and stay connected for 36 months

• $300.24 off the RRP of the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion if you stay connected on an eligible plan for 24 or 36 months

If you’re just after a SIM-only Black Friday deal from Vodafone, there’s a few less choices to pick from:

• $10 off a $49/50GB plan for as long as you stay connected
• $10 off a $59/180GB plan for as long as you stay connected
• $10 off a $69/360GB plan for as long as you stay connected

Vodafone’s prepaid offerings aren’t as extensive as its postpaid ones, but there are some discounts to grab if you’re inclined:

• 160GB Prepaid Starter Pack down to $99 from $160 with six months of expiry. Get 160GB of data on your first three recharges, after which it drops to 90GB.
• Motorola Moto e14 4G for $89 outright ($40 off) with an included $35 Prepaid Plus starter pack
• Oppo A60 5G for $149 outright ($80 off) with an included $35 Prepaid Plus starter pack

Like its competitors, Telstra’s big push for Postpaid deals centres around discount on handsets paid off over a period of time, though some of its current deals run a little longer than the traditional Black Friday period.

• Save $600 off RRP on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra when purchased on a payment plan (offer available until 2nd December 2024)
• Save up to $800 off RRP on the Google Pixel 8 Pro when purchased on a payment plan (offer available until 16th December 2024)
• Save $500 off RRP on the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL when purchased on a payment plan (offer available until 2nd December 2024)
• Save $500 off RRP on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 when purchased on a payment plan (offer available until 2nd December 2024)

Telstra’s postpaid plans are all called “Upfront” mobile plans these days, and Telstra’s deal here is pretty simple; you can save $10/month for six months on any of them by using the code FRIDAY10 when applying for a new plan. Here’s a full rundown of all of Telstra’s upfront plans you can apply that deal to:

If prepaid is more your style, Telstra has a smattering of Black Friday deals to tempt you, though again it’s a mix of very short term available deals and a couple that will be available for a little while after the Black Friday/Cyber Monday season has concluded:
