With Optus 5G access and 50% off, Aussie Broadband's SIM-only mobile deals might be the best I've seen this EOFY
With less than a week left in the EOFY 2025 sales, now's the time to lock-in an awesome deal that will keep the savings going with your mobile plan until the end of the calendar year.
We've already seen some excellent EOFY telco deals throughout the month of June, but this offer from Aussie Broadband might be the best one we've seen so far.
If you were under the impression that Aussie Broadband was solely an internet provider, think again — the trusted telecommunications company has been offering SIM-only mobile plans since 2021, but has gotten more competitive with its pricing in the last few months.
Now the telco is doubling down on its strategy for EOFY, offering new customers a 50% discount for their first 6 months on selected Aussie Broadband prepaid plans when they apply the code DEALMOB at checkout. After those initial 6 months are up, the plans will go back to full price for as long as you stay connected.
In other words, plans that usually range in price from AU$35 p/m to AU$70 p/m will now range from AU$17.50 p/m to AU$30 p/m. When you consider that these plans offer from 40GB to 220GB of monthly data on the Optus 5G network, that's incredible value for money.
Aussie Broadband | Save 50% p/m for the first 6 months with code 'DEALMOB' on select plans
New Aussie Broadband customers can snag a fantastic EOFY deal: 50% off selected mobile plans for the first 6 months. Just use the code DEALMOB to unlock this discount on four of Aussie's prepaid plans, all of which offer Optus 5G network access. Here's what you're looking at in terms of monthly data and price:
• Value 5G SIM Plan (40GB p/m) — AU$17.50 p/m for the first 6 months, then AU$35 p/m ongoing• Essential 5G SIM Plan (100GB p/m) — AU$25 p/m for the first 6 months, then AU$50 p/m ongoing• Premium 5G SIM Plan (120GB p/m ) — AU$30 p/m for the first 6 months, then AU$60 p/m ongoing• Elite 5G SIM Plan (220GB p/m ) — AU$35p/m for the first 6 months, then AU$70 p/m ongoing
As you can see, all of these deals are exceptional from a value standpoint. However, I would personally opt for either the Premium 5G SIM Plan or the Elite 5G SIM Plan, as these plans not only offer stacks of data, they also offer full speed access to the Optus 5G Network, while the other two plans have their download speeds capped at 150Mbps.
Of course, you'll have to hurry if you want to take advantage of this deal, as the offer will expire on June 30, 2025.

Virgin Australia shares soar 8.3% in $439 million IPO debut
Virgin Australia shares rallied 8.3% on Tuesday, after its 685 million Australian dollar ($439 million) initial public offering, a transaction dealmakers hope will revive a subdued listings market. The airline sold 236.2 million shares at AU$2.90 each, valuing it at AU$2.32 billion on a fully diluted basis. The stock began trading at AU$3.14, outpacing a 1.2% gain in the Australian benchmark S&P/ASX200. Virgin's listing comes amid operational disruptions, with the airline diverting two Qatar-bound flights to India and Oman, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24. Qatar temporarily closed its airspace ahead of Iran launching missiles at a U.S. base in the state. Virgin did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. Shares of Qantas, the main rival to Virgin Australia, climbed 4% on Tuesday following a 7% drop in global oil prices the previous day, after Iran took no action to disrupt oil and gas tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Virgin disclosed in an exchange filing that it has hedged 98% of its anticipated fuel usage in Brent crude oil at a cap of $70 per barrel for the first half of 2026. It has hedged 86% of its anticipated fuel usage at the same price in the second half. "Four years ago, with the help of Bain Capital, we set out to transform Virgin into a simpler, more focused company with a clear view on how are we going to serve our customers and how are we going to win in the Australian domestic market," Dave Emerson, Virgin Australia chief executive, said at a listing ceremony in Sydney. Virgin, which is Australia's second-largest airline by market share after Qantas Airways, was delisted in 2020 after private equity giant Bain Capital rescued it from administration. Bain, which bought Virgin for AU$3.5 billion including liabilities, will see its stake reduced to 39.4% from about 70%, while Qatar Airways, which recently bought into the airline, will retain 23%, the IPO prospectus showed. The IPO attracted strong demand, with institutional investors lodging indicative orders surpassing the offering size during book building, according to a term sheet reviewed by Reuters. The shares being priced at an almost 30% discount to those of Qantas were an incentive to buy, fund managers said. Virgin has a domestic flight market share of 34.4% as of March versus Qantas' 37.5%, a report from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission showed. "From our perspective, the IPO pricing offered an attractive discount to Qantas, allowing room for shareholders to benefit from Virgin's operational improvement targets and structural tailwinds like the rise of premium ticket demand," said Jun Bei Liu, founder of Ten Cap which is a Virgin cornerstone investor. "Virgin's domestic focus and hedged fuel position provide resilience amid geopolitical and commodity market risks." Virgin pared back its international business under Bain's ownership. It has resumed long-haul flights to Doha through a lease agreement with state-owned Qatar Airways.

Dollar falls in broad risk rally after Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire
The dollar fell on Tuesday while the Australian and New Zealand dollars rose after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, in news that sent investors cheering and sparked a risk rally across markets. Trump said that a "complete and total" ceasefire between Israel and Iran will go into force with a view to ending the 12-day conflict between the two nations, moments after both sides threatened new attacks. An Iranian and Qatari official confirmed that Tehran had agreed to a ceasefire, while Israel's Channel 12 reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed in a conversation with Trump to a ceasefire as long as Iran stopped its attacks. The risk-sensitive Aussie got a lift from the news and last traded 0.35% higher at $0.6483 as did the kiwi, which rose 0.37% to $0.5998. "It's obviously positive news for risk sentiment," said Rodrigo Catril, senior currency strategist at National Australia Bank. "We need to obviously have a bit more details in terms of exactly what all this means... I suppose it will be the conditions of the ceasefire, and what are the conditions for a more longer-lasting peace deal." The dollar, which last week drew support from safe-haven demand, fell broadly in the wake of the news. Against the yen, the greenback was down 0.21% at 145.79. The euro rose 0.21% to $1.1602 and sterling advanced 0.18% to $1.3551. Trump's comments on his Truth Social site came after Iran launched a missile attack on an American air base in Qatar on Monday that caused no injuries, in a move which he dismissed as a "weak response" to U.S. attacks. Adding to headwinds for the dollar were dovish comments from Federal Reserve policymaker Michelle Bowman, who said the U.S. central bank should consider interest rate cuts soon. Bowman's openness to cutting rates soon is supported by Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who said in a television interview last week he'd also consider a rate cut at next month's meeting. "There appears to be increasing division among the ranks of the Fed board ahead of Fed Chair Powell's testimony," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. "The chance of a July rate cut... is still underpriced. I think it should be higher than that." Markets are now pricing in about a 20% chance the Fed could ease rates in July, up from 14.5% a day ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to testify before the U.S. Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday, where focus will be on the outlook for U.S. rates.
