Telstra iPhone 16e plans
Telstra offers the iPhone 16e across all storage sizes and colours. You can choose to pay off your device over 12, 24 or 36 months, or even buy it outright. No matter which payment period you choose, you’ll still pay the same for your device overall — it’s just the monthly payments that will be different.
Cancelling your plan will require you to pay off the remainder of your device costs. You’ll then need to bundle your phone with one of Telstra’s Upfront phone plans, which include:
- 5G network access without speed caps
- Unlimited standard national calls and SMS
- 30 minutes of calls to standard international numbers
- Unlimited standard SMS/MMS to international numbers
- Included monthly fast-speed data allowance (data inclusion varies between plans)
- No excess data charges (continue using data at the capped speed of 1.5Mbps after you use your fast data allowance)
- No lock-in contract
- eSIM available
- Access to the Telstra Plus rewards program

If you cancel your plan, you’ll need to pay off the remaining device costs. Once you’ve selected your device and payment period, you’ll need to choose one of Optus’ postpaid phone plans to bundle with your device. Plans include:

Vodafone iPhone 16e plans
Vodafone is offering the iPhone 16e in both colours and all storage sizes, with your choice of 12, 24 or 36-month payment period.
