Vodafone Pixel 9, 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold plans

Vodafone will stock the full Pixel 9 range, with pre-orders now available for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro XL —  shipping from August 22 — and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which is available from September 4. The Pixel 9 Pro is set to be released some time later in the year.

If you choose to pick up your Pixel phone on a plan from Vodafone, you’ll have the option to pay off your device over 12, 24 or 36 months. Once you’ve selected your device, storage size and payment period, you’ll then need to pick a Vodafone postpaid phone plan to bundle with your device.

There are three plans to choose from, all with access to the Vodafone 5G network, along with no excess data charges. That means that once you use up your monthly fast data inclusion, you can keep using data but at the capped speed of 2Mbps.

Vodafone is currently offering three months free of a BINGE standard subscription on all postpaid plans if you sign up by December 01, 2024.

Vodafone Pixel 9 series deals

If you pre-order your Pixel with Vodafone, you can pick up discounts and bonuses on all three phones.

The Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold all include around $200 off the RRP if you sign up on a payment period over 24 or 36 months (this discount does not apply on 12-month payment plans). This discount will be applied as credit each month on your phone bill.

Depending on your phone, you’ll also be able to pick up free subscriptions to Google services when you buy on a 12, 24 or 36-month plan. If you pre-order the Pixel 9, you’ll get six months free Google One Premium 2TB cloud storage subscription. This offer expires October 31, 2024, terms apply.

If you pick up the Pixel 9 Pro XL or Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you’ll get a free one-year subscription for the Google One AI Premium plan, which includes access to more powerful AI features, along with 2TB of cloud storage. This offer expires October 31, terms apply.

In addition to the discounts and bonus subscriptions, Vodafone is offering up to $500 of bonus trade-in credit for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL and up to $700 for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, when you trade in an eligible device. Keep in mind that trade-in credit is dependent on the device you trade in and condition of the device. This offer expires August 21, 2024, unless extended, with trade in by September 4, 2024. Terms apply.

Once you’ve chosen your device and payment period, you’ll then need to bundle with an Optus postpaid plan. There are three standard plans to choose from, along with a special promo plan. All Optus postpaid plans include access to the Optus 5G network, along with no excess data charges, so you can keep using data at the capped speed of 1.5Mbps once you use up your high-speed data inclusions.

Optus also offers access to Optus SubHub, which allows you to bundle and save on multiple subscriptions, such as Netflix and BINGE. Eligible Optus customers can also save on an Optus Sport subscription.
