The cheapest Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus plans in Australia

The pre-orders for the super-schmick Samsung Galaxy S9 have opened up and the carriers are competing fiercely to lock you down for the next two (or more) years. With as wide a range of prices as ever and a plethora of included bonuses, we've dug around and found the best possible plans for the price.

It's worth noting that we are yet to find a pre-order offer that doesn't include a free Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Pad, so don't get tempted by any provider in particular if they offer up this goody, as you'll very likely get it with any alternative option as well.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

Don't fret if you're after the S9's bigger sibling, the Galaxy S9 Plus, we've found some pretty stellar deals on this big boy as well.

Included extras

If you're the type to be swayed by some extra value thrown your way (even if you didn't know you really needed it) then Optus and Telstra have worked some magic.

Telstra is throwing in an extra Samsung Tab A 8.0 when you pre-order either the Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus, which is a $450 tablet released last year that holds up terrifically well.

Optus, on the other hand, has doubled down by offering up a spectacular saving for those that are after two Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus handsets. If you sign both of these phones up to the same billing account, you'll get the cost of one of the contracts cut in half.
