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.
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.
"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."
