Vodafone is gearing up for the end of the financial year with a bevy of bill saving offers. From steep discounts on Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxys, to better than half price prepaid plans.

Celebrating the year’s most awkward acronym, the Vodafone EOFY sale has something for everyone. Whether you've been eyeing off a new phone, or you want a new SIM plan for your current phone, there’s savings across the board.

Phone shoppers can also benefit from generous trade-in discounts, which can significantly cut into the cost of a new handset.

Save big on the entire iPhone 12 range


If you’ve been waiting for a decent discount on a new iPhone then now is the time to act. Vodafone has slashed $200 across the entire Apple iPhone 12 range, regardless of whether you want an iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro or an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

The discount is deducted from the total cost of whichever model you choose and will reduce the monthly handset repayments when you stay connected to an eligible plan for 36-months.

Plus, if you’re in the market for an iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 mini you can trim even more off your monthly bill with a chunky credit applied to your account when you trade-in an old iPhone in good working order.

For example, if you were to trade-in an iPhone XR 256GB in good working order, your total discount including the bonus would be $520 when you purchase an iPhone 12 and stay connected to an eligible plan. Therefore, your monthly bill for a new iPhone 12 on a Lite Plan could be just $47.18 per month over 36-months (total min cost $1698.48).

Below are examples of trade-in values when you choose an iPhone 12.

Stellar savings on Samsung Galaxy


Samsung fans are also well looked after during this EOFY sale, with savings up to $500 on Samsung’s amazing folding screen handsets; the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4G. 

The 2021 Galaxy S21 range is also heavily discounted, with a $400 saving on the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, $300 off the Galaxy S21+ 5G and $200 off when you choose a Galaxy S21 5G and stay connected to  a Vodafone Infinite plan over 36 months.

If you have an eligible phone to trade-in, you’ll also get a bonus $300 credit on top of the trade-in value of your old phone. So, let’s say you have a Samsung Galaxy S10 5G (128GB) in good working order to trade in, you could get $220 for the phone, plus $300 bonus credit, plus $400 when you upgrade to a Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G and stay connected to an eligible plan over 24 or 36 months All up that’s $920 off your total bill.

Vodafone’s 5G Network is now rolling out in selected areas of major cities. See vodafone.com.au/5G for more details. Ends 30 June. T&C apply.

BYO for EOFY bargains on Prepaid


If you already have a great phone there are still big savings to snap up on SIM Only plans. The Vodafone $40 Prepaid Starter Pack is slashed to just $15 and you get a whopping 50GB of data  (30GB included, 20GB bonus) on your first 3 eligible recharges within 90 days of activation.

What makes this Vodafone prepaid plan so impressive is the list of extras that come as standard inclusions. You get unlimited calls and SMS in Australia plus to 37 other international destinations. Also, if you manage to chew through all of your included data, you won’t be left high and dry. Instead, you’ll have access to speeds up to 1.5Mbps until your recharge expires. At 1.5Mbps, you can scroll and stream music but it is not suitable for HD video. Find out more about speeds at vodafone.com.au/prepaidspeed.  28 day expiry. Ends 30 June 2020.

All in all, it’s a mammoth list of bargains available now until 25 June 2021 for iPhone 12 offers and until 30 June for Samsung and Prepaid offers. Visit Vodafone’s website for full terms and conditions, and to see how much your current phone is worth as a trade-in.
