This page tracks the newest mobile phone deals in Australia, including outright discounts at major retailers and bonus offers on plans. The list is refreshed automatically every few hours from deals posted by Australian shoppers.
Tips before you buy
Compare the total cost. For plan deals, multiply the monthly cost by the contract length and add any upfront fee.
Check 5G bands. Make sure the phone supports your carrier’s network, especially for imported models.
Consider last year’s flagship. It is often the best value once the new model arrives.
Trade-in offers. Some retailers and carriers give credit for your old phone; compare it with selling privately.
Is it cheaper to buy a phone outright or on a plan?
Buying outright and pairing the phone with a low-cost SIM-only plan is often cheaper over two years, but plan deals can include bonus credit or a free gift. Add up the total cost over the contract before you decide.
When do phone prices drop?
Phone prices often fall soon after a newer model is announced, and again during Black Friday, Click Frenzy and the Boxing Day sales.
Are grey import phones a good deal?
Imported phones can be cheaper, but they may not support every Australian 4G and 5G band and the warranty may be handled overseas. Check network compatibility before you buy.
Where do these mobile phone deals come from?
Deals are posted by the OzBargain shopping community and refreshed automatically every few hours. Prices and stock change quickly and some offers are limited to certain states, so always confirm the price with the retailer before you buy.
