Like most carriers, Vodafone offers handset repayment plans over 12, 24 or 36 months.
To help you crunch the numbers and compare the cheapest iPhone 13 offers, let's assume you choose to get either the iPhone 13 mini (128GB) or the iPhone 13 (128GB) on a 36-month repayment plan from Vodafone.
Here's a breakdown of what you'll pay per month if you pair it with Vodafone's cheapest Infinite Plan and stay connected for the length of your contract.

|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 13 mini | $33.30 | $40 | $73.30 |
| iPhone 13 | $37.47 | $40 | $77.47 |

Perks of signing up to Vodafone's Infinite Plan
While getting a new iPhone is all well and good, pairing it with the right mobile plan is just as important.
Vodafone's mobile plans come with some bells and whistles that might take your fancy:
- Infinite data. Once you’ve used up your Max Speed Data allowance for the month, Vodafone will offer speeds up to 2 to 10Mbps depending on which mobile plan you're on. This means you won’t have to worry about paying excess data charges. 2Mbps will let you browse the web and social media or stream music and standard definition video. And 10Mbps is great for high definition video and video calling, though uploading large files to the web may be slow.
- Hotspotting allowed. But keep in mind you can't use it as a substitute for your home Internet. Permitted between your mobile phone and personal devices (SIM Only Infinite Plans).
Pair your iPhone 13 with Vodafone's Unlimited Mobile Data Plan
If you want unlimited mobile data for personal use on your phone in Australia, pair your iPhone 13 with Vodafone's Ultra+ Plan. Plus, you also get 30GB data each month for hotspotting at max speed, which thereafter drops to up to 2Mbps. See above what you can do at speeds up to 2Mbps, and check Vodafone's speed guide for more details.
The price is currently down to an eye-catching $65 per month (as long as your pair it with a handset and stay connected for the length of your contract). The offer is currently set to end November 17.
- Tip: We suggest calculating how much data you actually need before signing up to a more expensive mobile plan.
