- Replies 0
As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, staying connected is now a part of everyone's daily lives.
Many Australians, especially seniors, rely on mobile services to keep in touch with family, manage appointments, and enjoy various forms of entertainment.
However, the latest news from one of the country's biggest telecommunication providers might push Aussies to switch things up.
Vodafone, one of Australia's leading telecom giants, announced several changes among their mobile data plan subscribers.
For those who have been with Vodafone for a while, this could mean a noticeable change in monthly expenses.
An email from Vodafone recently circulated online and outlined the changes to their subscribers.
'At Vodafone, we are investing in our products and systems to provide you with a better experience,' the email read.
Vodafone recently rolled out its Vodafone Infinite plans and introduced it to customers.
With Vodafone's new plan, mobile data prices should see an increase of $4 per month.
This update wanted to simplify Vodafone's product range and should impact mobile data plans.
A Vodafone spokesperson clarified that the change should only affect a 'range of older plans that have been in the market for a while'.
'We have made these changes in response to the continuing high costs of doing business, to support ongoing investment into our products and systems, and to simplify our product range further,' a Vodafone spokesperson shared.
Vodafone assured their subscribers that any existing credits and offers should carry over to the new plan.
Vodafone also promised an increase in monthly data allowance to those affected by the price increase.
Customers should see the changes on their next billing cycle.
However, customers who signed up for a new Vodafone plan between 2024 and 2025, or anyone planning to upgrade to these plans, should not be affected by the price increase.
Vodafone's changes came on the heels of Telstra's announcement last year.
Telstra increased the prices for many of its data plans, including a $3 increase to its Mobile Plan Basic.
Some Telstra bundled plans saw a price increase of $2 per month, while their Data Plan Large went up by $20 per month.
Consumers must review their current mobile plans and budgets.
For readers who may be affected by this change, it should be a good time to assess your data needs and explore other options available in the market.
