The announcement comes following a deal with Optus to use the telco’s network and AGL said it will offer mobile SIM plans with data allowances, no-lock in contracts and discounts for customers who combine their mobile and energy bills.
AGL chief customer officer Christine Corbett said the company wanted “to transform how Australians connect to the essential services that power their lives”.
“We’re offering customers simplicity and ease by taking away the hassle of calling several providers and becoming the one provider who can offer it all.

The mobile SIM plans will offer discounts to customers who combine the service with an energy plan from AGL, which is ramping up its telecommunications product offering as Telstra takes strides into its energy domain.
Chief customer officer Christine Corbett describes AGL as “the one place for your home energy, internet and mobile services”.
