Very few providers offer seniors discounts on mobile plans. The good news is you can easily find a great deal on a regular mobile plan to keep the costs low.
We've compared 296 mobile plans from 46 mobile providers in Australia and curated 6 top picks based on price, network and expert analysis.
If these don't quite fit, check out our comparison table further down for some of the cheapest mobile plans on Finder that don’t cost more than $35 a month - including yearly options that work out to the same price.
Our top picks were reviewed by senior utilities editor Mariam Gabaji.
We currently don't have that product, but here are others to consider:
How we picked theseWe've scored over 290+ mobile plans on everything from cost to data allowance and important features.
Our experts give each plan a score out of 10 - totally fair, with no commercial strings attached.
Finding the cheapest mobile plan will require you to consider a few things:
Telstra offers a 10% monthly discount on its Upfront Mobile Light plan if you have a valid Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card or Department of Veterans' Affairs card.
It'll end up costing around $54 a month for 5GB which is fairly poor value compared to regular mobile plans that run on the Telstra network. Only consider it if you need to sign up with Telstra directly.
Otherwise, check out our top picks for mobile plans that run on the Telstra network.
Vodafone offers seniors card holders 10% off monthly plan fees on its SIM-only plans that start at $53 a month for 60GB.
Again, this is fairly expensive compared to other mobile plans in our database, including our top picks in this guide.
In fact, the starting cost of a prepaid plan from Vodafone is cheaper at $40 per 28 days for 30GB.
Optus doesn't offer a seniors discount. If you want to sign up, the cheapest option is its prepaid plan - $35 per 28 days for 20GB.
Or, you can check out our top picks for mobile plans that run on the Optus network instead.
While there are no seniors plans for TPG, its plans still offer great value for money, especially for the first six months with prices being discounted by 50%.
Prices start at $25 a month for 25GB without any promos.

Are there any plans with low Data usage. I mostly use my for for messages and phone calls with very little data. They now all seem to offer large volumes of data which I do not need
Hi Penny,
There are several mobile plans tailored for light users who primarily need phone calls and messages, despite many providers focusing on high-data packages. In 2026, the best approach is to look at prepaid, long-expiry plans (365 days) or small monthly, no-contract plans. Hope this helps!
Do any Telco companies do a internet and mobile phone bundle anymore.
Hi Daryl,
Yes, you can look up some of the bundle options here. You may also want to check out the Optus deals we currently have running with Finder Rewards, where you can get visa gift cards when you switch. Hope this helps!
I WANT TWO LANDLINE NUMBERS TRANSFERED TO A MOBILE NUMBER AS COMPANY NO LONGER GOING HOW DO I DO IT AND THE CHEAPEST I AM ON OLD AGE PENSION
Hi Kim, I would suggest contacting your mobile provider as they’ll be best placed to help you out here.
Is there a comparable carrier to Optus to offer around $119 / month for no contract, unlimited use (do not require international) . I am particularly interested in Telstra if your aware of any deals going. We could enter up with our own or a new server and 2 mobile connections keeping our same number. Hoping you can assist.
regards

Hi Wayne, if you’re keen on the Telstra network and want to go with the same provider for both internet and mobile, have a look at plans from Tangerine, Belong, Superloop, MATE or More. Many of them also offer bundling discounts. You can also keep your existing phone number. Hope this helps!
I’m looking for the cheapest sim card to put in a seniors watch only using if I have a fall or need assistance. Is there a sim available that will do that without paying monthly just pay for 365 days.
Hi Gail, the only providers offering watch eSIM support include Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Everyday Mobile (by Woolies) Tangerine and More. Unfortunately, they all charge monthly ($5 to $10 a month). Hope this helps!
