How much will the Samsung Galaxy S25 cost on a plan?

No matter whether you're buying last year's iPhone or the new Galaxy S25, if you pick it up on a plan you're looking 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.

With that in mind, here's a sense of what to expect from each of Australia's big three mobile providers when it comes to Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra plans.

Vodafone Galaxy S25 plans

If you want to pick up the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra for as little as you can get away with, you're probably looking to do so via Vodafone.

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.

Check out the widget below for a round-up of the provider's roster of Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra mobile plans.

Optus Galaxy S25 plans

If you're after 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 next best bet when it comes to Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra plans.

Assuming that this year's lineup matches that of last year's, you should be able to snag the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra on either 12, 24 or 36-month plans through Optus. Each eligible Optus postpaid plan will come with excess-charge-free data, a discounted rate on Optus Sport and the ability to save on your monthly subscriptions via SubHub.

Telstra Galaxy S25 plans

Telstra's mobile plans are usually 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, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra on a postpaid plan.

Fortunately, that higher price does come with plenty of perks. The list here includes four free months of Spotify Premium and two free months of Binge.

Those who sign up for a Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus or Galaxy S25 Ultra 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.
