How to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (at the best price)

You can still save on Samsung's slimmer take on the Galaxy S25 if you know where to look.

How to buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge on a plan

No matter whether you're buying the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge or its siblings, buying a phone on a plan through one of Australia's big three mobile provider works the same way. For that reason, it's fairly easy to calculate how much the Galaxy S25 Edge will cost on a plan in Australia.

You start at paying the RRP of the device divided out by the number of months in your plan. Then, you just add the standard cost of your plan on top. This method doesn't account for any trade-in bonuses or deals. That said, it should give you an idea of what to expect if you're looking to buy the Galaxy S25 Edge on a plan in Australia.

Vodafone Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge plans

If you want to pick up the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge for as little as you can get away with, Vodafone is the obvious option. On top of any standard postpaid plan inclusions, Vodafone customers also get the excess-charge-free data, 5G connectivity wherever they can get it plus $5 per day roaming whenever they need it.

Optus Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge plans

If you're after slightly better coverage than Vodafone can vouch for but don't want to deal with the higher prices that come with Telstra, then Optus might be the better bet when it comes to Galaxy S25 Edge plans.

Assuming the slimmer Samsung phone doesn't sell out too quickly, you should be able to snag the Galaxy S25 Edge on either a 24 or 36-month plan through Optus. Regardless of which eligible Optus postpaid plan you pair the new device up with, you'll come away with excess-charge-free data, a discounted rate on Optus Sport and the ability to save on your monthly subscriptions via SubHub.

Telstra Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge plans

As usual, Telstra's mobile plans are the most expensive of the big three so it shouldn't shock you learn that it'll likely end up being the most pricey option for those looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge on a postpaid plan.

Fortunately, that higher month-to-month price attached to Telstra does come with plenty of perks. The list here includes uncapped download speeds and 3 months of Telstra Device Security. Those who go in on a Galaxy S25 Edge plan with Telstra can expect to be able to pay off their device over a 12, 24 or 36-month period with access to excess-charge free data for the lifetime of their plan.
