        If your a current subscriber to amaysim, their is a tab "refer freinds" , it has your personalized referral link.

        If somebody uses your referral link to sign up to a new account, both of you get $10 added to your account after the new sign up activates their account

    TS, do you have an amaysim referal link? If you do I'll use it. Meh, I was waiting for EC to post something to do with affilated or referrals, right on cue.

    Does anyone have a suggestion for a Wireless Modem?

      Same here. I bought 4 $30 starter packs from harvey norman today for $10 each. will get both talk time and data. or 3GB data per month. Also telstra is 4G.

    • unity1 on 27/12/2013 - 02:08

      Exactly. $80 gets me 24GB of data for my iPad and 4G in way more places than offered by Amaysim. Do theses guys even offer 4G?

          Look for these $30 Telstra prepaid starter kits which regularly sell for $10 across various retailers. Simply activate 1 new SIM online every month which shouldn't take you more than 1-2 minutes. Then you will have 3GB data to use on your ipad with a 30 day expiry.

        • NachoMafia on 27/12/2013 - 03:49

        • unity1 on 27/12/2013 - 07:57
          +3

          You buy multiples so you know you will have more than enough to last you until the next deal comes along. Believe me it's worth the effort when you know you are getting a better service and better data limit that what has been mentioned above.

        • unco on 27/12/2013 - 09:45

          I just activated one of the Telstra ones last month and it expires on the December 31.
          If I wanted to activate my next prepaid starter kit say in February, do I activate it as a new service? Or do I port the previous number across to the new one each time?

        • unity1 on 27/12/2013 - 09:55
          +3

          I just activate a brand new number/service. Less hassle and can all be done online.

          Ok, I am sold.
          I am thinking of buying 30 of them in the hope that I can claim TRS.

          Checking their website:
          If you get a 30day expiry CAP deal on prepaid, it's $2/MB.
          If you activate simplicity mobile deal, you get 2 months with $30 credit @ 10c/MB.
          Checking the mobile BROADBAND deals for Telstra, $30 gets 700MB (4.29c/MB).
          The 3GB deal for a 1 month is stupidly hidden, as you don't need an ipad for the deal, you jsut need a SIM card holder for nano/micro sims: found here http://www.telstra.com.au/tablets/tablet-devices/ipad/#tab-t…

        • gsrt22 on 27/12/2013 - 13:39
          +1

          For the Cap deal: it is $2/MB only after you have used your 500MB free data. So you get data and talk time.

        • lousy on 28/12/2013 - 01:16

          Just make sure they have a gst component first

      • tf323 on 27/12/2013 - 06:53
        +1

        Nope. They have been talking about offering 4G for nearly 2 years but still nothing. They are getting left behind.

      • ro0sta on 27/12/2013 - 11:09
        +1

        They use Voda network, so its the infrastructure they have.

        I have Telstra for my normal mobile, but an amaysim service for a scarecely used 3G service for my tablet or PS Vita, I honestly don't see the benefit in getting multiple Telstra SIM's when the real benefit here is for $70 you get a FULL YEAR of use for someone who is not intending on using the credit ALL at once. Thanks for the deal OP.

        • tf323 on 28/12/2013 - 13:18

          Amaysim are Optus not Voda

      • ilostnemo on 27/12/2013 - 19:09

        And then you go without the internet for 4 months.

        Yes the Telstra has advantages, but for those who don't use much data, don't really care about 4g, this is a good deal.

    • Elation on 28/12/2013 - 08:00

      Ye I am thinking of buying a few of these and then use Credit Me2U. I'm not sure if this will work though :S considering they need a name and address for each sim card :S

      I generally use Facebook, twitter, whatsapp and ummm.. mail is set to manual and i seems to quite OK with the data rounding. I see a bit of difference, but not large enough to be like WTF?!?!?!

    • bargaino on 27/12/2013 - 09:44
      +1

      The rounding was awful on a casual plan in a phone. 5c every time the data connection is broken. I had to disable it.
      In a USB modem you would not notice it.
      In an always-on tablet, it might be. Say your data connection is broken 10 times a day, thats 3.6GB/year lost.

    • devilbabies on 27/12/2013 - 08:15

      can you do the same with the vodafone $70 prepaid cap recharge ?

      $70 recharge comes with 2GB already + $1500 flexible credit which will buy you an extra 33.8GB

      so, $70 = 35.8GB

      i believe you can keep rolling-over this data for $2 per month

      so, $70 (recharge) + $22 (11 months of $2 to keep data rolling-over for full year) = $99 for 1 year and 35.8GB data

      can anyone confirm that this will work? much better deal for larger data users if it does (you could even potentially keep rolling that data over for 3 years and get 11.9GB per year for 3 years at $47 per year)

      Port your number in? Porting failures mostly occur when the current service is not in the same name as the new service. Doomed for failure if you try.

      just keep trying. when i ported my number from yatango to amaysim, it took me like 2-3 weeks. i am quite confident by next xmas you should be on amaysim's network :P

    • ReSublimity on 27/12/2013 - 08:55
      +1

      If porting fails, then you'll be notified. Nothing will change from your previous provider. Generally fails due to mismatch in information (DoB for pre-paid and account number for post-paid). You'll just need to contact them to fix it up before trying again.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2013 - 05:24

      Yes you can but this is for new online customers only. You can't add it to an existing account:

      Great news. Order your amaysim SIM card online today to get 20% off your first 10GB data pack.
      Be quick, this offer is available for a limited time only – ends 31st December 2013.

      To get this offer use promo code DATA20133
      This promotion applies to new online orders only. Not to be used with any other offer.
      For more info see terms and conditions.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2013 - 11:16
      +1

      If you have any remaining balance in your account, after you finish the 10GB pack that balance gets used up at PAYG rates (5c per MB = $50 per GB = not good).

      You will receive 'percentage of pack used' notifications, but by the time you get the final one, you can easily run over into several dollars of use at PAYG rates.

      Best to only place enough money into your account to cover the cost of the 10GB pack.

    Just a heads up for existing customers: I went through live chat and got the discounted price, adding the 10GB data pack to my account.

    At first he said the deal is for new customers only, but when I asked about ordering a new SIM and porting the number to it he must have realised that I am quite serious about this.

    It was the first 10GB pack for me - so in that sense it was in the spirit of the promotion.

    • WatchNerd on 27/12/2013 - 13:10

      You should of used the referral link and created a new account in a family members name -
      https://www.amaysim.com.au/refer-a-friend
      In other words you missed out on $20.00 (2gb/60 days).

      • team teri on 27/12/2013 - 14:18

    I've previously had a 10GB data pack, added one this morning again not realising at the time it was supposed to be for new signups only. However, when I enter the redeem code it gives me a green message and a tick indicating it has applied it so I'm not quite sure what's happening.

    I live chatted and the CSR said it had applied so I'll check again tomorrow and see. I'm still not convinced at this point as the unbilled balance is clearly $99.90 plus what it was previously but he did say stuff doesn't appear immediately. I do know the $99.90 appeared the second I clicked the button though and I did the redeem within 5 seconds of that.

      Unbilled usage on your amaysim account does not include any credits applied from promotions and from reps. It just shows how much you have used (which is $99.90 from adding a data pack).

      • foobar on 30/12/2013 - 13:06

        Ah ok, in that case all things seem to point to it having worked, I'll have to wait until the next bill is issued and see what's on it before bothering them again.

  • bargain lover on 27/12/2013 - 20:59

    Adding in the referral code brings it to $79.92 for me - how do I get the $10 bonus? I'd be a new customer.

    • easternculture on 27/12/2013 - 21:48
      +1

      once you activate the sim, you will get an sms that $10 was added to your account, i think the bonus $10 has a 90 day expiry though

      • bobsmith on 31/12/2013 - 10:34

        Is there anything worthwhile the $10 credit can be used for?

          Calls , texts etc

          Usually on phone plans, you can buy 1GB data valid for 1 month for $9.90. Not sure if this can be applied on the 10GB data plan.
