Optus - Multi-Layered Phone Deal w/ PS3, Shared Data & 10% Discount on Broadband

140

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
PS3 : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/146328
New plans : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/146813

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 :

Bonus Quickview Case :

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.

  • As above, +1 for the effort.
    Jeez, I didn't think the G2 would drop in price so quickly on a plan.

    • With the release of the G3 around the corner, a price drop on plan and outright is expected.

  • try to click through, couldn't find the free Quickview case

    • Click on the Features Tab

      • thanks.

        • Quickview case is not included anymore? I could see no link. The features tab is not even working now.

        • Never mind, after a few attempts, I got to the features tab and the case is still mentioned there.

  • If you are a heavy data usage person, this would be not so good of value..

  • Fixed line-service at < 500 gbytes, shared over grid access WiFi , would be of Use - only I thought it was Telstra toying with such benefit.

    Only then could one layer ++consume with a modern G2'. ..Or just collect the saving from vaya & un-gimping the data (<1.5gb).

  • Im still got 25% on bundle internet and homephone with optus mobile. They re only give me 10% if i change the plan

  • If you sold the PS3 and LG G2 the plan works out to be around $15 a month. I likey

    • If you sold the G2 ($400) and the PS3 ($200) and had a discount on your broadband ($250)you would probably get the plan for about $5 a month

    • assumes you are a supersonic sales magician & can palm off those at 480.00- net, which it seems anybody has (yet). - consider by the time you allot $+10/more for a standard 10HH Voice //1.5data servie that you are back to square 1.

      That LGlooks a decent fit with OIS, but is being revalued by. pre-loaded kk-4.4; 5.5" 50gb usable; IMX214; Wolfson dac, 5kmAh, 801. Expect depreciation to follow.

  • Good timing my vodafone plan ending soon.

    When is this special end? seems like stated until stock last for the PS3, might be only 1 left based on EOL so long ago.

  • +3

    I just ordered one, i asked if i am still eligible for the PS3, the rep said there are 150 left.

  • The Quickview Case is not on offer any more?

    • Never mind, after a few attempts, I got to the features tab and the case is still mentioned there.

  • +1

    I contacted the rep and told them you are misleading because it has a bonus quickview and they told me that the promotion is for the PS3 only, i took screenshot and threatened to take to the TIO and ACCC, they gave me a credit of 80 bucks :)

    • Can anyone please send me screenshot of the LG2 quickview case on optus website?

  • Can anyone please send me screenshot of the LG2 quickview case screen shot?
