Telstra's budget brand Belong is following its parent company's lead, revealing it plans to raise the prices of its mobile and NBN plans sooner rather than later.
From 1 July 2025, the price of Belong's NBN 25 plan will go up from $70 per month to $72 per month. The provider's NBN 50 plan is also going up from $85 per month to $88 per month. On a lighter note, Belong's NBN 100 plan is staying put when it comes to price. For now anyway.
These price rises will also coincide with the end of the provider's current promotion that lets new customer who sign up for any one of the Belong NBN plans below save $10 per month for their first six months. If you want to take advantage of that deal while it lasts, you have until 30 June 2025 to do so.
For a quick summary of how Belong's NBN plans are changing, check out the table below.
Belong are just one of many NBN providers who have either already raised or are planning to raise their prices in the months ahead. The move follows NBN Co's latest review of wholesale pricing, which will come into effect on 1 July 2025.
If that trend away from thriftiness has you considering a change yourself, you can find a snapshot of the most popular NBN plans in our database in the widget below.
When it comes to Belong's mobile plans, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that most of the provider's postpaid plans aren't going up in the price. The bad? The cheapest option on the menu is the one exception.
From 1 July 2025, the $21 Belong mobile plan is going up to $25. To offset the price rise, the data allowance for this plan is also going up from 7GB to 10GB. That said, it's worth remember that new customers aren't actually allowed to sign up for this plan. It's only available to existing Belong customers looking for a cheaper option.

In an email to customers, Belong told a very similar story to that of Telstra when it comes to the underlying reasons behind the move.
"This change reflects ongoing investments in service quality, including security performance, and dedicated customer support," it said.
