Should I get a Telstra iPhone plan?
Telstra is Australia’s largest mobile network and has a comprehensive range of iPhone plans — from the older devices to the premium newer devices, Telstra has you covered. However, you’ll need to be prepared to pay for it, especially with the latest iPhone 12 series devices as they don’t come cheap.
- Many plans cost over $100, while older and smaller devices can be found for less than $80 a month.
- Telstra includes things like rewards program
- International call and SMS inclusions are available on postpaid plans
- No excess data charges (data capped at speeds of 1.5Mbps once you use up your fast data)
In any case, Telstra is sure to be one of the most popular mobile phone plan providers to stock the latest iPhones and for good reason too. Telstra is arguably the go-to for many Aussies looking for phone plans, but to say it’s a cheap iPhone provider may be another question entirely.
