We’ve seen plenty of movement on consumer mobile plans, offering better deals, more data – you name it. All in an effort to sign more customers. But there’s a new battleground – Small business.
If you’ve got an ABN you’re entitled to different offers, new deals – in any number of services, including your mobile phone. The best offer we’ve been able to find comes from Vodafone, offering 30% off the price of their SIM only month-to-month plans which sits them ahead of Telstra and Optus.
Launching online and in-store on April 8, the deals are appealing not just because of the price, but also because there’s no lock-in contract.
Here’s how the carriers compare:
| Optus | $30 | 500MB | Unlimited |
| Vodafone | $35 | 3GB | Infinite |
| Vodafone | $42 | 4GB | Infinite |
| Optus | $45 | 3GB | Unlimited |
| Telstra | $55 | 2.5GB | $550 |
| Vodafone | $56 | 6GB | Infinite |
| Optus | $60 | 6GB | Unlimited |
| Telstra | $80 | 4GB | $950 |
| Telstra | $105 | 5GB | Unlimited |
You can see that Vodafone’s discount strategically puts them below Optus in data value by a whisker, while even Telstra’s offers are appealing, they aren’t a patch on the others if you need to make a lot of calls and are a bit data-hungry.
So, if you’ve got an ABN – time to start shopping around.
