Bundling your home internet and mobile phone plan can make sense. You save time and stress by keeping your internet and phone plans under one provider, and you can usually score a $5 or $10 discount which, while it might not seem like much, could save you $120 per year.  While most offer home phone and NBN bundles, there are a few mobile phone and NBN providers that offer discount home internet and mobile bundles, which you can learn more about by reading below.

Mate Mobile Phone and Internet Bundles

If you’re looking for a simple home NBN and mobile phone bundle, Mate gives customers a $10 discount when you sign up for both. With Mate NBN plans you can choose either to bring your own modem, or purchase one for an additional $165 upfront, and all Mate NBN plans come with no lock-in contract, unlimited data, and 1-month risk-free to try it out.

SpinTel Mobile Phone and Internet Bundles

SpinTel offers two mobile phone plans that can be bundled with their NBN. Choose which speed you want for your SpinTel NBN plan with unlimited data, on a no lock-in contract, and whether you want to bring your own modem or purchase one outright from SpinTel for $110 upfront.

Once you’ve decided which SpinTel NBN plan you want, you can choose from two SpinTel mobile phone plans. Bundling either mobile phone plan will score you a $5 discount every month, all you need to do is decide if 4GB of data or 20GB of data per month is a better option for you.

TPG Mobile Phone and Internet Bundles

NBN provider, TPG, helps customers save up to $10 a month when they sign up for NBN and add a mobile phone plan to their account. In order to bundle your TPG NBN plan with a mobile phone plan you need to follow five steps:

1. Sign up to any TPG NBN plan
2. Activate your TPG broadband
3. Go to the TPG Mobile page and selecting “existing customer”
4. Enter your TPG username and password
5. Sign up for any eligible TPG mobile phone plan (25GB and above)

Customers can sign up for a TPG NBN plan with either a 6-month contract or no lock-in contract, and either BYO modem or purchase one through TPG. If you select a 6-month contract, your modem and activation is free, however choosing a no lock-in contract means you can either pay $0 and bring your own modem or pay $99.95 upfront for their included modem.

Once you’ve signed up and activated your TPG NBN plan, you will need to sign up for an eligible TPG mobile plan in order to access their bundle discount. Eligible mobile plans start at $25 per month ($20 per month with a bundle) and all come with unlimited standard national talk and text.

Vodafone Mobile Phone and Internet Bundles

Vodafone offers bundled home broadband and mobile phone plans with discounts of up to $15 per month off your NBN service with a mobile plan. Vodafone NBN customers can either choose to bring their own modem, or get one with 4G back-up from Vodafone for $0 when you stay for 24 months (max. modem cost $180).

In order to bundle your Vodafone NBN plan, you need to choose one of Vodafone’s SIM-only mobile phone plans. Vodafone mobile plans start at $40 per month, and all plans come with no lock-in contract, standard national talk and text, and infinite data at reduced speeds with no excess data charges, if you use up your data allowance before the end of the month.

Should I Bundle My Mobile Phone and Internet?

To some, it makes sense to bundle your mobile phone and internet plans under one provider. Usually, you could not only save money but save yourself time with the convenience of having both contracts with one telco.

• Discounts: By bundling your home broadband and mobile phone plans you could save between $5 and $10 per month. While not massive savings, this still could save you up to $120 per year.
• Convenience: It makes sense to keep your telco contracts under a single provider. When it’s time to pay your monthly bill, you don’t need to worry about paying different companies at different times.

However, it’s important to always shop around and make sure you’re getting the best deal. While you might think you’re saving a little extra every month, some cheaper NBN providers or mobile phone providers might offer better service, at a better price, that you might miss out on if you choose to bundle everything together. By comparing NBN plans and mobile phone providers, you might even save more choosing to get your service from two different companies.
