The iPhone X is the latest smartphone model launched by Apple Inc. It was launched on November 3, 2017, and is now available at all the major Australian cell phone service providers. The four major Australian cell phone service providers are Virgin Mobile, Vodafone, Optus, and Telstra. These cell phone providers are offering a huge variety of phone plans.
iPhone X Plan Prices
There are two types of iPhone X models available in the market. They are iPhone X (64 GB) model and iPhone X (256 GB) model. iPhone X (64 GB) model is the cheaper of the two. The Australian cell phone service providers are attracting a lot of customers with big phone plan price. You can look for the cheapest offers by the major telecom operators of Australia which are as follows:
- Virgin Mobile iPhone X Plan: $92 a month in total (for 24 months)
- Vodafone iPhone X Plan: $73.86 a month in total (36-month phone repayment)
- Optus iPhone X Plan: $90 a month in total (a 24-month lease plan)
- Telstra iPhone X Plan: $102 a month in total (a 24-month lease plan)
Virgin Mobile iPhone X Plans
All the iPhone X cell phone plans offered by Virgin Mobile include unlimited calling and unlimited texting as a standard norm. However, you will be charged for the amount of data and international credit you use. You can get to choose from a variety of cell phone plans provided by Virgin Mobile for iPhone X. Remember that the plans listed below are for iPhone X (64 GB) model. All are in a 2 year or 24 months contract.
| iPhone X (64 GB) Model Plans | Price Per Month |
| $40 Plan | $92 per month |
| $40 Plan | $97 per month |
| $40 Plan | $99 per month |
| $40 Plan | $109 per month |
| $40 Plan | $113 per month |
| $40 Plan | $123 per month |
The price for the cell phone plans increases by about $10 per month for the iPhone X (256 GB) model. Virgin Mobile offers very inexpensive phone plans for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus and continues to do so for iPhone X as well. If you move over to a more expensive plan, you will get a cheaper handset repayment. You can choose any one of them for your brand new Apple product.
Vodafone iPhone X Plans
The telecom has separated the phone repayment from the plan price. It means that if you are a Vodafone user, then the only contract you are bound to be the phone repayment. At the end of your repayment time period, you own iPhone X completely without having to pay anything when your contract expires. You can also buy the device outright and get a SIM-only 12 month or no-contract plan.
The ‘Red Plans’ are a monthly plan and can be changed and chopped off as per your requirements. Vodafone gives you the cheapest iPhone X which you can get is a 64GB model on a 36-month contract, where you will be paying off the device’s $1579 RRP at $43.86 per month plus a $30 Red plan with 2GB of data included.

Many plans deliver free Apple Music memberships, data-free NRL & AFL streaming and Telstra Air data. All Telstra phone plans include unlimited national calling and unlimited messaging.
