The majority of Vodafone's prepaid mobile plans will increase in price from April 15. All of its 28-day prepaid plans will see a $5 price hike, but they will also receive extra data. The biggest increase is on Vodafone's $320 long-expiry plan, which will see a $30 increase.
Here is what Vodafone's new prepaid plus pricing and inclusions will look like:
| Current Price | Expiry | Current data | New Price | New data | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $12 SIM | 7 days | 5GB | $13 SIM | 5GB | $1 increase |
| $35 SIM | 28 days | 25GB | $40 SIM | 30GB | $5 increase |
| $45 SIM | 28 days | 35GB | $50 SIM | 40GB | $5 increase |
| $55 SIM | 28 days | 50GB | $60 SIM | 55GB | $5 increase |
| $160 SIM | 185 days | 90GB | $180 SIM | 100GB | $20 increase |
| $250 SIM | 365 days | 150GB | $250 | 150GB | None |
| $320 SIM | 365 days | 220GB | $350 SIM | 250GB | $30 increase |
Vodafone will also increase the data rollover limit from 200GB across all plans to 300GB.
Existing Vodafone customers will see the prices increase on their next recharge after April 15.
Here's a look at some alternative options, including 28-day expiry plans with at least 20GB of data and the cheapest 365-day expiry plans in our database:
Vodafone isn't the only provider increasing its plans. Most Telstra postpaid and prepaid plans will see a $4 to $5 increase from May 5. Optus' postpaid plans will see a $5 per month increase, too, from May 18.
At this stage, Vodafone hasn't detailed any changes to its postpaid plans. Vodafone last increased postpaid prices in July last year.
