I know this is not a secret but for those who may not know Amaysim offer some plans you can only select after becoming an Amaysim customer which are pretty amazing value. I hadn't seen a post for this so thought I'd make one.

$30 per 90 days (roughly $10/pm)

$60 per annum

  • Unlimited talk + text
  • No Data

$10 per annum

  • 12c/min calls
  • 12c/SMS
  • 5c/MB data

To access these plans I grabbed a $10 prepaid SIM and activated it on the 7-day $10 plan, I believe this is the cheapest entry point. Immediately after I could log in to the Amaysim App or Website and change my plan to any one of the above (or any of the others advertised on their website).

EDIT: The user mayo in the comments below provides a link to sign up to the $0 PAYG plan directly, so you don't need to be an existing customer for that one (you do still need to deposit $10 to get started). The user Phong7 and maybe others also offer advice on how to get on to the $30 plan without sacrificing $10 credit first :-) See the comments. Thanks community!

The reason I came across this was I needed two SIM's for my young sons with a little bit of data. x2 of the $30/90-day plans works out about as cheap as it gets. Happy to debate why I went this over a discounted 365-day SIM from another MVNO in the comments :-)

      I just thought they were a good-deal, and they're not really advertised. About as good a 'bargain' as it gets depending on your need. Happy to delete the post if it's not up to scratch! :-) Let me know :-)

          A bargain is literally defined as a better price for a product/service than one would expect. A discount isn't necessarily a bargain, and a bargain isn't necessarily a discount.

          This is a cheap mobile plan at a better price than most would expect, hence it's a bargain.

    my young sons with a little bit of data, 4Gb in 90d

    @Erasmuz: how do you stop your sons from using mobile-data, eg share a video with friends…restraint can be difficult with peer-influence ?

    Serious-restraint: have you consider buying Amaysim-starter-pack with credit, say $30 on sale for $10, periodically. Select PAYG on activation, & turn-OFF data @ phone?

    Pls leave your post as is & thanks for sharing 👍

    • Erasmuz on 18/03/2025 - 20:48

      Thanks for your comment ab c!

      My children are only young (10) so I'm not experienced enough to answer your question regarding restraint & peer-influence.

      While not remotely the same they do have Android tablets and Windows PC's. We use parental controls, time limits and content filters, plus good ol' fashion supervision and it seems to work for now. However these devices are vastly less addictive and hugely more controllable and visible then a personal phone. Also everyone's children are different! I once gave the same advice to a friend then saw her children get on a phone and it was like they were on crack :D You know deep down what's right for your kids.

      As for why I chose this mobile plan over others (such as turning off data, as you suggested) was this:

      My kids are too young for their own mobile (IMHO) but they do have a legit need for a mobile when they go to sports activities, friends houses and Yu-Gi-Oh! card competitions. So I needed a plan to pop a SIM in some old phones that would give them phone/SMS access, but also enough data to maintain location services and my sons Yu-Gi-Oh! competition app.

      I'm not sure I can convince many veteran OzBargain'ers but I do not like limited time rates. I don't like 1/2 off for the first 1, 3 or 6 months, nor do I like the discount 365 day SIM cards. To me (and I acknowledge this is a very personal issue) all that means is there's a ticking time bomb on when I need to do more paperwork - no thank you. I was also concerned with a 365 day SIM that if something went wrong (like they left YouTube on loop) all the data is gone for the year!

      If anyone reads this far I'm amazed I'm sorry! The TL:DR is I prefer a monthly (or 3 monthly!) service where the inclusions rese, but as close to the price of a 365-day bargain SIM as I can - and this plan fits the bill.

        You've made a good decision base on YOUR-circumstances & preferences.

        I believe Kogan gives you the option of splitting the data into monthly chunks on their yearly plans.

  • bcYield on 18/03/2025 - 19:55
    +1

    Is it on purpose for getting as little as possible for the data, 4GB? I think Catch offers 20GB for similar package.

    • Erasmuz on 18/03/2025 - 20:03
      +1

      No Sir/Mam, it was purely a $/pm thing.

      I think giving kids some limits when they first get a mobile is a brilliant idea! It certainly forces them to understand a bit about data amounts, transfer rates, plan prices, etc… maybe even a bit of a look at how much they are consuming!

      However Felix also offer unlimited data for $40/pm, so while we bargain hunt it's a very short ladder before we hit the "this really isn't an issue any more" price point. Sorry to all those that have 4+ kids x$40/pm :D

      FWIW when the kids are older and get their own mobiles I will get them a plan just like this and let them hit their data cap, it's a wonderful way to learn. However that was not my motivation at this time, which I'll explain in another post on this thread if anyone is THAT bored they want to read about it :-)

      • bcYield on 18/03/2025 - 20:16
        +2

        I assume this plan comes with 4GB per 90 days as I have no detail of it.

        While Catch mobile has 90-day plan for $40 ongoing with 20GB (they charge old customers for $29 still and not upped yet). If you don't mind of any carrier, you get 5x the data with Catch for $10 more.

        1GB per month is stressful these days.

        • Erasmuz on 18/03/2025 - 20:55

          $10/pm more but a lot more data, tbh I might have gone for this if I'd found it in time :-) I'll move them over if they exceed their data allowance. Thanks for posting

    Thanks for sharing! I’m on amaysim and has been a bit upset they scrapped my old $10/4GB 28 days plan and moved me to a $15/18GB one.
    I got Wifi at home and at work, don’t watch videos on commute, and thus have no use for all the extra data. Happy to take this deal and save myself $60 a year.

    • FutureTech on 18/03/2025 - 22:09

      Doesn't it make more sense for you to go for one of the annual plans (usually $99 for 60gb per year etc)

        I don’t see such a plan on amaysim website, and afaik these kinda plans are usually offered to new customers and only good for one year, next year it’ll become 150+. I couldn’t be bothered to switch my phone plan every year.

        • Erasmuz on 19/03/2025 - 08:25

      • Borg on 19/03/2025 - 00:16

        $99 hasn't existed for well over a year now.
        I'm still on the old $120 with 60GB (inc Int'l calls) which renewed it last Sept @ 25% off so cost only approx $89 (Incl extra 50GB bonus data) so now have over 160GB remaining as it also data banked previous years left overs! Obviously I don't use my mobile for much data! Mad price though and talk about cheap. Thanks Amaysim :-)

    • Neoika on 19/03/2025 - 00:32

      No, on the contrary, a business would only upsell its products. A Telco makes more money when most customers are on costly plans rather than cheap plans.

      In the same way, the budget Belong plan can only be started from the 2nd month.

  • Borg on 18/03/2025 - 21:52

    There is also the $60 for 365days talk and text only in Australia (no data). Handy for those that don't require it or get their Data via other SIMs.

    Sorry how is the bottom-most linked plan a $0 per annum plan? Is it meant to say $10 per annum?

    • Erasmuz on 18/03/2025 - 22:20
      +2

      I'm not 100% sure but I think the way it works is it's a minimum of $10 to get signed up to Amaysim (as I did in my example) then you can switch to any other plan?

      Although the way that link is worded the $10 becomes your 'credit' towards the $0/pa plan, so any calls/sms/data you use gets deducted from this until it runs out?

      This would make sense, Amaysim are a prepaid provider so it's not $0 until you are billed, it would be: step 1 - give Amaysim money, step 2 use the $0/pa plan until your credit runs out

      I hope this helps :-)

  • PhilToinby on 18/03/2025 - 22:09

    The $60 annual plan is great for kids (I use it for my son at high school), but given the lack of data it's pretty niche! I'd set it up using my wife's plan, and I didn't know about the 3 month plan, so thanks for the info.

  • googoogaga on 18/03/2025 - 22:31
    +1

    I also have kids and I use Belong. When a deal like this one pops up, I purchase in preparation when close to the 3 month mark.

    This can last 3 months if combined with $20 referral credit & activated on the $30 (25GB) plan. So $55 + $20 equals $75 credit.
    1st month $30 (25GB) - 2nd month $21 (7GB) - 3rd month $21 (7GB) - Total $72
    Once your account is set up you can move to the $21 (7GB) plan so it's ready for the next payment date.

    So for $27, I get 3 months for each child who I use my own belong sim card as the referee.
    3 kids = $27 * 3 = $81
    Each kid uses my referral code which gives me $60 which is almost 3 months ($63 for 3 months).
    So 4 total services for 3 months costs $81 + $3 = $84
    $7 per month per sim card and we basically have unlimited data as I have over 500gb banked over the years.
    Works for us.

    I port them out to either amaysim,coles mobile or boost when they have a $10 sim card or some type of cashrewards/shopback deal, then back into Belong.

        I used to do this when I could buy Belong pack $40(?) with Telstra points. It would be extremely tedious and annoying job to keep track, port out port in for totally 4 phones (2 for my kids, one for my Dad, one for my Mum). And Belong is technically a post paid service, so if you forget to port out before the expired day, you will be charged for next circle after you have ported out. That's why I've moved to prepaid service, if I forget the dates, they can still receive phones/texts without extra charge.
        I've activated the $60 annual plan for my Dad, he doesn't use data much so if he needs I'll add 1Gb for $10 for him, otherwise, it's perfect for his need.

    It's a bargain if you can get say a $50 SIM for like $20 and then use that $50 of credit over the course of 6 months (which you can do) using that $30 for 90 day deal. Assuming you don't need much data, which many may not these days.

  • xmagic on 18/03/2025 - 22:59

    The old $119 Woolworths plan seems to be a better deal than this in long term, if you can get one: https://www.amaysim.com.au/sim-plans/12-month-sim-plans/119-…

  • Phong7 on 18/03/2025 - 23:09

    • You can just buy a $30 Amaysim, activate it and choose as PAYG to active that sim with $30 credit (may need to press MORE or something like that for that options)
    • Then put the activated sim into a phone (make sure mobile data is off before you put sim in).
    • Go to normal text SMS, sent $30plan90 to 568. If it does not work, you may need to chat with Amaysim customer support and tell them you want $30 plan for 90 days with 4GB. I'm pretty sure they can do it from their end.
  • mayo on 19/03/2025 - 08:08

    You don't actually need an already active amaysim SIM to get the PAYG plan (the "$0 per annum" plan that must be recharged $10 per year), here's the direct link that works for new customers:

    • Erasmuz on 19/03/2025 - 10:45

      This isn't a plan to replace your daily driver! For my personal phone I am on Amaysim's $30/28-day plan and banked 500GB so when we go away on (driving) holidays it becomes the family hotspot.

      This is a great plan for phones with occasional but regular use. The phone I have it in for my son sits in a drawer during the week and only goes out some weekends. He's too young for a phone so has nothing set up on it (not even email) and isn't allowed to use it for anything except calling or messaging us, or his Yu-Gi-Oh! game app when he's in a competition. You're right, even if he was allowed to play with it in the car on the way to/from an event he'd burn up the 4GB, but in my use-case it's an ideal plan at the cheapest cost.

      Different strokes for different folks as they say!

My family are looking to buy a new house, and now that I've activated the Pay As You Go plan for $10/yr, I can confidently give Real Estate Agents my phone number, knowing they won't continue to call me for years after we purchase our next house. Don't get me wrong: I have no problem talking to RE Agents, but some of them don't get the message once you've moved that you're now off the market.

    · Scroll to the bottom and select "As You Go".
    · Your order summary should display:

    Starter Pack Credit: -$30.00
    Total Credit: $30.00

    4.        Transfer Your Number
    · Choose either a physical SIM or eSIM.
    · Proceed to checkout.

    5.        Verify Your Identity
    · Complete the ID verification process.

    7.        Final Steps
    · Turn off mobile data, then insert the activated SIM into your phone.
    · Send a text message to 568 with: $30plan90

    "Thanks, we’re currently processing your request."

    · Shortly after, you will receive confirmation:
