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

Optus iPhone 16e plans

If you’re planning on picking up the iPhone 16e on a plan from Optus, you’ll find all colours and storage sizes available. Once you’ve selected your device, you can choose to pay off your phone over 12, 24 or 36 months, or outright, with your payment period determining how much you’ll pay for your device each month.

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:

  • 5G network access
  • Unlimited standard national calls and SMS
  • Unlimited standard international calls and SMS to 35 select countries (not included on Small plan)
  • Included monthly fast-speed data allowance (data inclusion varies between plans)
  • No excess data charges (speeds capped at 1.5Mbps once you use up your data inclusions)
  • No lock-in contract
  • eSIM available
  • $5 for 5G of daily roaming
  • Access to Optus SubHub subscription bundling service, including Netflix, BINGE and Paramount+ (subscriptions cost extra)
  • Discounted Optus Sport price (via Optus SubHub) for eligible Optus customers

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. This will determine how much you pay for your device each month, but the overall price will be the same. You’ll then need to bundle your iPhone 16e with one of Vodafone’s postpaid phone plans.

These postpaid plans are month-to-month, so while you’re locked in for your phone repayments over the 12, 24 or 36 months, you’re able to switch between the phone plans each month if your needs change. Keep in mind that cancelling your plan will require you to pay off the remainder of your device costs. These plans include:

  • 5G network access
  • Unlimited standard national calls and SMS
  • Unlimited standard international SMS
  • Unlimited standard international calls to select Zone 1 countries, 300 minutes to Zone 2 countries (not included on the Small plan)
  • Included monthly fast-speed data allowance (data inclusion varies between plans)
  • No excess data charges (speeds capped at 2Mbps once you use up your data inclusions)
  • No lock-in contract
  • eSIM available
  • $5 per day roaming (use your plan’s standard inclusions while travelling in over 100 countries)
  • Add on a Hubbl Hub set top box to your plan for additional monthly cost

Vodafone iPhone 16e deals

If you purchase your iPhone 16e on an eligible Vodafone plan, you can save $10 off your plan fees each month for the first 12, 24 or 36 months, depending on your chosen device payment period, with up to $360 in total savings when you pre-order and stay connected over 36 months. Vodafone is also offering double data on its range of postpaid phone plans for as long as you stay connected to the plan. These offers are available until withdrawn, terms apply.

Important information

For those that love the detail

This advice is general and has not taken into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider whether this advice is right for you.

Canstar Blue may earn a fee from its Online Partners for referrals from its website tables, and from sponsorship or promotion of certain products. Fees payable by product providers for referrals and sponsorship or promotion may vary between providers, website position, and revenue model. Sponsorship/promotion fees may be higher than referral fees. If a product is sponsored or promoted, it’s an ad and it is clearly marked as such. An ad might appear in different places on our website, such as in comparison tables and articles. Ads may be displayed in a fixed position in a table, regardless of the product's rating, price or other attributes. The location of an ad doesn’t indicate any ranking or rating by Canstar Blue. Payment of fees for ads does not influence Value Rank or Customer Satisfaction Ratings. See How We Get Paid to find out more.

Mobile Value Rank & Sort Order 

The data in the table is updated within 24 hours of Canstar Blue becoming aware of a change. You can find a description of the initial sort order below the table. You can use the sort buttons at the top of each column to re-order the display. Learn more about our Mobile Value Rank Methodology

Our Value Rank compares a plan’s data allowance over a calendar month which is approximately 30.4 days regardless of a plan’s expiry period. When showing results filtered by data, a calendar month average will be used.

Please note that the Customer Satisfaction rating displayed in the table is a rating relating to customer overall satisfaction with the brand, and should not be confused with an individual product rating. Learn more about Mobile Customer Satisfaction ratings and for more information on how the Customer Satisfaction ratings are calculated, read the Canstar Blue Customer Satisfaction Ratings Methodology.

The ratings shown are only one factor to take into account when considering products. The results do not include all Mobile retailers or products in the market, and may not compare all features relevant to you. Canstar Blue does not supply mobile services. If you decide to apply for a particular Mobile product, you will deal directly with the mobile retailer, and not with Canstar Blue. Fees, charges, product information, costs,  and contract terms should be confirmed directly with the relevant mobile retailer. 

Unlimited Data

Where 'unlimited' is used in relation to Data available on a plan it is likely to be subject to a fair use policy. Please confirm any terms of a fair use policy with your selected provider before making a purchase decision.
