I know some of these deals have been posted before separately, but wanted to consolidate them all into one thread and added the info on the 10% discount, latest pricing and the bonus case with the LG G2

I know this deal will not be for everyone. The deal is best if you already have an Optus Broadband package (I'm on a $110 Cable & phone plan). NOTE : I looked into this further and the 10% only applies if you are on one of their current "In Market plans" and don't have any discounts applied against it (e.g. I was on a Yes Fusion $110 plan with free Premium Speed pack and recently negotiated $15 discount per month - as a result I would not be able to get the 10% off in addition).
$40 / month gets you the following plan (including the phone and offers below):
- 300 mins
- Unlimited Texts
- 500MB data
- $10 / additional GB
- $10 for double mins or $20 for unlimited mins
Data Sharing :
- for a one-off $5 SIM fee, you can share the data in your plan (not bad when you can buy it at $10 / GB) with another device
LG G2 Phone :
- 5.2" Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS display
- 13MP rear camera with OIS + 2.1MP front camera
- 16GB
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Series 2.3GHz Quad-core Processor
- Android (should get 4.4.3 and even 4.5) : http://www.androidpit.com/android-4-4-3-update-which-devices
Bonus Quickview Case :
- Not sure how much they really sell for - around $40-50 most likely

10% off existing Broadband package (for 24 months ) :
- Bundle a $30 Optus Mobile Monthly Plan or higher and get 10% off your broadband monthly access fee for 24 months
- All accounts must be in the same address to be eligible for any bundle rewards. 10% discount applied to eligible Phone and Broadband monthly acccess fees only and not available in conjunction with any other offers or discounts unless specififed.
NOTE : I looked into this further and the 10% only applies if you are on one of their current "In Market plans" and don't have any discounts applied against it (e.g. I was on a Yes Fusion $110 plan with free Premium Speed pack and recently negotiated $15 discount per month - as a result I would not be able to get the 10% off in addition).
Bonus PS3 :
see details here : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/146328
So, for $960 over 24 months, you get :
- an "ok" mobile package - lets say thats worth $15 / month ($360)
- 10% discount on your broadband package - for me that would be $11 / month ($264)
- a PS3 (not sure how much you could sell for on eBay (unless you want to keep it obviously) - ($200?)
Which makes the LG G2 phone + Quickview case cost around $136
Note : Limited offer on the PS3 - not sure when it expires
+1 For the effort. I wish Telstra would offer something similar.
