Impact

Key changes in March: It wasn’t an overly active March period, but there were a couple of changes of note. Telstra increased its pricing modestly at the busy $80 and $95 price points, extending its premium over competitors. However, it also cut pricing for entry level post-paid plans, and added content inclusions across the range (see below). Optus “spaced” its data inclusions – by reducing data on its $80 plan from 8GB to 6GB and increasing included data on its $100 plan from 12GB to 15GB – which we think targets a number of outcomes. First, it creates a 9GB incentive to “trade-up” to the $100 price point (previously a 4GB difference), which would help support ARPU trends for Optus. In addition, for customers signing up to $80 plans, lower data inclusions increase the likelihood that they will require add-on data, which could also support ARPU. Vodafone added 1GB of data to its plans on a promotion, but changed little else. Elsewhere, the iPhone SE launched and we look at relative operator pricing for this device. In prepaid/ MVNO, it was a fairly quiet month, with some adjustments at Optus and Vaya.

Telstra ups the ante on content and add-ons: Telstra added a free 12-month subscription to the AFL Live Pass or NRL Digital Pass for Personal and SME mobile post-paid plans. These are worth $90 when bought stand-alone. This adds to a growing bundle of content, add-ons and options being offered by Telstra, which includes access to Telstra Air (WiFi), New Phone Feeling (‘new for old’ handset replacement after 12 months for $149) and subscriptions to Apple Music (iPhone customers only, ex-SE). By way of comparison, Telstra had no content or add-ons a year ago. Optus offers ‘new for old’ handset replacement (for $99) and free data sharing.

Telstra: Telstra continues to face challenges to its Mobiles division against a more competitive backdrop. This was evident in the 1H16 result, where ARPU trends were heavily impacted by the wash-through of reduced excess data charges.

Telstra ups the ante on content and add-ons

Content and add-ons are an increasingly important battleground for telcos as they attempt to

differentiate their product offerings and drive data usage.

Telstra added a free 12-month subscription to the AFL Live Pass or NRL Digital Pass for Personal

and SME mobile post-paid plans. These are worth $90 when bought stand-alone.

This adds to a growing bundle of content, add-ons and options being offered by Telstra, which

includes access to Telstra Air (WiFi), New Phone Feeling (‘new for old’ handset replacement after

12 months for $149) and subscriptions to Apple Music (iPhone customers only, ex-SE).

By way of comparison, Telstra had no content or add-ons a year ago.

content bundles but is likely to add EPL packages later in the year.

Post-paid: Activity picks back up

The three mobile network operators made some changes in March, with Telstra altering its plan

costs and Optus and Vodafone modifying their data caps. Non-data inclusions changed slightly,

with the general trend being the addition, rather than removal, of inclusions.

Telstra

Telstra reduced the price of its cheapest plan (S) by between $3-5 across the iPhone 6 and 6S

models, while raising the prices of its mid-range M and L plans by $2-5 (fig 7).

Telstra also altered its inclusions for postpaid plans. It added a free 12-month subscription to the

AFL Live Pass or NRL Digital pass (valued at $90) for customers on a personal or small business

mobile plan or personal mobile broadband plan with a tablet. Telstra is also offering free data

(10GB/month) on Telstra Air after June 30 (note that customers can use unlimited Telstra Air data,

free of charge, until June 30). These postpaid plan inclusions are in addition to a free 12-month

subscription to Apple Music (normally $11.99/month) for iPhone plans (ex the SE model). As an

offset, Telstra removed its offer of up to five free data share sim cards (worth $40 each).

Telstra introduced its iPhone SE plans. Plans for the 64GB model range from $77/month to

$135/month.

Telstra’s Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 postpaid plans were unchanged.

Optus

Optus altered its data caps on postpaid plans, adding 0.5GB to its cheapest $40 plan (now

1GB/month), removing 2GB from its mid-tier $80 plan (now 6GB/month) and adding 2-3GB to its

higher-tier $100 and $120 plans (now 15GB/month and 20GB/month, respectively). This widens

the data gap between the mid-range and higher-range plans from 4GB/month to 9GB/month (fig

8).

This shift in the Optus plans during the month may look subtle on the surface, but is quite telling

on the state of the competitive dynamic. By removing 2GB of data from its $80 plan and adding

3GB to its $100 plan, Optus has widened the data gap between the two plans at a whopping 9GB

(6GB vs 15GB). We see 3 key implications of this:

First, Optus is reducing value on its popular $80 plan, potentially an indication that it had

included too much data at that point in recent times;

Second, the 9GB gap between the $80 and $100 plans offers a huge incentive for trade up,

and is clear evidence of Optus trying to migrate customers up to the $100 price point after

successfully moving much of their base from $60 to $80 in recent year;

Finally, Optus’ offer of 6GB and 15GB plans mirrors Telstra’s data inclusions and makes the

price differential more easily comparable/visible for consumers.

Other changes:

Optus is no longer discounting its most expensive plan, which has increased from $100/month

+ handset cost to $120/month + handset cost (having previously been $130/month).

Otherwise, postpaid plan costs were mostly unchanged;

Optus is offering free New Phone Trade Up on its postpaid plans, where customers can trade

in their old phone after 12 months and pay a $99 fee, in exchange for a new phone on a new

24-month postpaid plan. This is similar to Telstra’s New Phone Feeling (pay $149 after 12

months);

Optus is offering the first month free for new customers who sign up to a 24-month postpaid

plan with a new handset (My Plan Plus or My Plan Business) or existing customers who add a

new service (until 9 May);

New Optus customers can now cancel the service within 30 days, similar to Vodafone’s

Network Happiness Guarantee;

Optus launched its iPhone SE plans. Plans for the 64GB model range from $60/month to

$120/month;

Optus’ Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 postpaid plans were unchanged (with the exception of the

repriced $120 plan).

Vodafone

Vodafone added a bonus 1GB/month to each of its postpaid plans, covering the $60 plan

(4GB/month), $70 plan (7GB/month), $80 plan (9GB/month), $100 plan (13GB/month) and $130

plan (21GB/month) (fig 9).

Separately:

Vodafone removed the 50% discount on first month access fees across its postpaid plans.

Vodafone’s iPhone 6 and 6s postpaid plan prices were unchanged.

Vodafone introduced its iPhone SE plans. Plans for the 64GB model range from $73/month to

$130/month.

Vodafone’s Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 postpaid plans were unchanged.

Virgin

Virgin’s postpaid plans were unchanged in March.

Virgin launched its iPhone SE plans. Plans for the 64GB model range from $53/month to

$130/month.

iPhone SE plans released

iPhone SE plans were released over the past month, with Telstra maintaining a significant price

premium (of over 20%) compared to the other three major operators (despite Telstra often offering

lower data inclusions). The premium is partly justified by Telstra’s attractive set of additional non-

data inclusions (such as free Telstra Air WiFi and a free 12-month subscription to the AFL or NRL

live app).

A quick comparison of iPhone SE postpaid plans (64GB model) at key price points illustrates

Telstra’s premium:

For postpaid plans offering 2-4GB/month, Telstra’s premium is 26% to Optus (with Optus

offering an additional 0.5GB), 12% to Vodafone (with Vodafone offering an additional 1.5GB)

and 17% to Virgin (with Virgin offering an additional 1.5GB).

For postpaid plans offering 6-7GB/month, Telstra’s premium is 23% to Optus, 27% to

Vodafone (with Vodafone offering an additional 1GB) and 23% to Virgin (with Virgin offering

an additional 2GB).

This premia does not account for content and other add-ons which clearly contribute to

Telstra’s value proposition, as do other intangibles such as perceptions of network coverage

and quality.

Handset subsidy – Telstra withdrew value for mid-tier plans but added it at the lower end

Telstra’s pricing premium for mid-range iPhone plans (3-4GB/month) rose by $4/month to

$17/month. While small in isolation, directionally this is a positive for Telstra (assuming it can

sustain subscriber trends), and arguably also positive for the overall industry. We nonetheless

continue to believe that the market remains competitive, particularly in the areas of data

allowances and non-data inclusions.

Note that the mid-tier iPhone plans that we track changed in September from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 6S plans. Source: Company data, Macquarie Research, April 2016.

Telstra’s premium for mid-range iPhone plans (6-9GB/month) rose by $3/month to $20/month,

driven by the increase in the cost of Telstra’s postpaid plans (fig 12). This pricing gap may be

exploited by consumers if sustained, potentially resulting in users spinning down or choosing the

more heavily subsidised offering.

Prepaid market calmer

Competitive pressures in the prepaid market stabilised in March, with no major changes to the

prepaid plans of the three MNOs or Virgin.

Quiet MNVO market with some adjustments at Optus and Vaya

Optus changes plans

Optus reduced its sim only plans from four to three;

At the $50 price point, Optus removed double data on a 5GB allowance (for a previous total of

10GB), replacing it with a 6GB limit;

At the $60 price point, Optus increased the data limit by 2GB to 9GB, but lowered the international

calling inclusions to selected countries from unlimited to 500 minutes.

Vaya revamps plans

Vaya expanded its month-to-month sim-only offering from six plans to eight plans, with the cost of

data falling moderately. This pushes the Vaya offering deeper into the high-data segment that the

amaysim hero-plans have focussed on.

Vaya’s new product set is essentially its four base Power Plans, with the option to pay an

additional $2/month to increase the call inclusions from $650/month to Unlimited.

Details of the new plans are as follows:

There are now four Power Plans ranging from $18-34/month (1.5GB – 7.0GB), compared to

three plans previously ranging from $18-28/month (1.5GB – 3.0GB). Power Plans come with

$650/month standard talk, unlimited standard SMS and excess data charges of $10/GB.

Similarly, there are now four Unlimited Plans, instead of three. The Unlimited plans have

identical features to the Power Plans, except that the standard talk inclusion is unlimited

(rather than capped at $650/month).

Unlimited Plans cost $2/month more than the Power Plans at each price point.

Vaya’s current promotion across both its Power and Unlimited Plans is a $2/month discount for the

first six months of the plan.

Aside from changes at Vaya and Optus, amaysim removed its $45 plan and Telstra is now offering

free data (10GB/month) on Telstra Air after June 30 (note that customers can use unlimited

Telstra Air data, free of charge, until June 30). Refer fig 15 for a comparison of current MVNO

offers.
