Internet and mobile bundles

Bundling your monthly internet and mobile phone bill makes bill payment a little easier, and sometimes a little cheaper. But not always!

Key takeaways

  • Heaps of telcos offer the option to get internet and mobile plans with them for a small discount.
  • That means a little saving, plus one bill and one point of contact - nice!
  • Bundles might lock you into less ideal plans to get the discount.

How do NBN and mobile bundles work?

Mobile and NBN bundles allow you to combine a mobile phone plan with an internet plan from the same provider, usually for a discount or some type of bonus freebie such as additional mobile data.

Depending on the provider, you may also be able to bundle other services such as energy, a home phone or TV streaming.

Is bundling internet and mobile actually cheaper?

It can be cheaper to bundle internet and mobile together, as some providers offer discounts for doing so.

However, it could also work out that you save money by just switching to a cheaper internet or mobile plan with different providers.

Sometimes the convenience of bundling your utilities with the 1 provider can end up costing you a fair bit in the long run.

It's important to not only compare prices, but also factor in how you use your mobile and internet to figure out what the best plans are for you.

Is bundling worth it?

"I bundle my home phone and internet, but I don't think I'd ever bundle my mobile phone with my home internet. I compare internet plans at least every year, but I only switch providers every 2 or 3 years. My mobile plan, on the other hand, I switch at least once a year. So bundling mobile and internet, even with the discounts, would stop me from getting a better mobile deal, so would end up costing me more."
