What are family mobile plans?

Mobile providers differ in how they offer family plans, but for the most part, there are 2 separate ways they go about this.

1. Mobile plans designed for family use

These are specific family plans where you have multiple SIMs under the same account that share a certain amount of data per month, all for a fixed price. Providers that offer this include Optus and ALDImobile.

2. Bundling SIMs for your family

Other providers might allow you to bundle SIM only plans together. In this case, you'd need to get each plan individually for family members then bundle them under the same account. Depending on the provider, you can share data across all the plans, and some might even offer a discount for bundling. Providers that take this approach include Telstra and Vodafone.

A note on data gifting:

Some providers also offer data gifting, whereby if you have mobile plans with the same telco, you can gift any unused data to other users, such as family members. Although these aren't specifically family plans, you can use this option to share around data and have mobile plans under the same provider. Some of the providers that allow you to do this include Belong, More and Tangerine.

Telstra family mobile plans

Telstra doesn't offer an actual family mobile plan, but on Telstra's Essential and Premium Upfront mobile plans, you can add up to 5 bundle plans and share data across them all.

Each extra mobile bundle plan is $50 a month each for 25GB of data. Or you can choose to add just a data bundle plan, which is $10 a month for 10GB.

Telstra's SIM only plans come with:

  • 5G access (you must have a 5G compatible device and be in a 5G coverage area to receive this).
  • Uncapped download speeds.
  • No lock-in contacts.
  • No excess data charges, but your speed will be reduced once you reach your data limit.
  • Keep in mind: Telstra doesn't offer bundling on its upfront Basic plan. You need to be on the Essential or Premium plan to bundle with other plans.

Another option for families using Telstra is you can share your Telstra data allowance between up to 10 Upfront mobile or data plans on the same account.

Optus family mobile plans

Optus offers a family mobile plan where you get 4 SIMs for $165 a month and share 320GB of data. Split evenly, that works to be $41.25 a month for 80GB of data each.

To compare, the closest Optus mobile SIM only plan in price is the Small Optus Choice Plan, which is $49 a month but for only 30GB of data.

You can add extra SIM plans to the family plan, up to 4 at $29 a month each.

  • Keep in mind: You don't get more data when you add extra users to the Optus family mobile plan, so everyone will be sharing the existing 320GB allocation.

The Optus family plan also includes:

  • A subscription to the McAfee Safe Family App at no additional cost.
  • Unlimited talk and text to standard Australian mobiles and landlines.
  • No excess data charges, but all services that share the plan will have their download speed slowed to 1.5Mbps if you exceed the monthly limit.

Aside from the family mobile plan, Optus also allows you to share data across any combination of eligible mobile SIM and mobile broadband plans. As there's no restriction to the number of plans you can share across, this could suit families that have more than 8 devices or people.

You can access Optus data sharing for your family with any of the plans below.
