Southern Phone Company

Southern Phone is no longer just the council-born regional challenger that sold affordable communications to households outside the metropolitan centre. In 2026 it is a transition case: a local-trust brand, created by councils and later absorbed by AGL, now moving into the Aussie Broadband group while still competing against Telstra, Optus, TPG, Superloop, Vocus and dozens of retail NBN challengers on price, support and wholesale input management.
