AGL Energy announced Monday the launch of AGL Mobile, the energy company’s take on a mobile phone plan which will allow customers to combine their mobile services with an AGL energy plan.

Under the AGL Mobile Brand, AGL will offer mobile SIM plans, with data allowances, no-lock in contracts and a $5 discount per month for customers when their plans are bundles with an electricity or gas plan.

Customers can choose from three Optus SIM plans options, with data allowances of 5GB (small), 20 GB (medium) and 50 GB (large).

According to AGL Chief Customer Officer Christine Corbett, AGL will bring its essential services such as home energy, internet and now, mobile services, together.

“We want to transform how Australians connect to the essential services that power their lives,” Corbett said.

“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.

“By bundling services, we are delivering value, convenience and flexibility for customers while also helping to make homes and businesses smarter and more efficient.”

Corbett added the customers will have to option to monitor energy, data usage and pay bills with the AGL app.

Last year, AGL committed to carbon neutral offerings on their energy products. The energy company is seeking to expand this offer to its telecommunication products by the end of the year.

“We know that customers aren’t just seeking easier options, they want to know that the services they’re using are sustainable and contributing to a cleaner future.”
