GREAT NEWS for heavy data users

Get an extra 1GB data for $5 a month !!

Still the best deal for unlimited in the market even with the $5 increase.

This may not suit everyone but definitely a Bonus and positive for me. Most Teleco's would increase prices and then reduce allowances but Amaysim has given something in return !!

Fine Print below:

We’re making amaysim UNLIMITED even bigger than before. From 1 September you’ll get 5GB of data, unlimited standard talk & text and voicemail all in Australia for a slightly higher price of $44.90 per month.
We reckon it’s still the one of the best unlimited mobile deals for one of the lowest prices in Australia. Best of all, you get some data breathing room, making it easy for you to do more of the stuff you love without breaking the bank.

Dont forget the current promo for 40% off Unlimited using code SAVE040. for NEW customers
And the extra $10 credit when using a referral link to sign up using a referral link below (Feel free to use mine)

      Previous price is $40, new price is $45

      They are taking away other benefits as well.

      Will the real JV please stand up?

        It is just their new normal price so probably should just go in the forums… It is more of an announcement rather than a bargain… (even though it's not even a bargain anyway…)

        Also, I don't 'usually' neg deals…

        I dont know about that.. i'm getting 2Mbps (2MB each 1 second) download in Sydney CBD i download 65mb's on my LG Pro 2 4G in 40 seconds! … never used to get that on my old 3G Samsung Galaxy S3 would take about 10 minutes. *Same Amaysim Sim card.

        On my home ADSL2+ connection i get 1.2mbps MAX download.. so not sure whats going on here.

        • scotty on 06/08/2014 - 16:09
          +1

          Sorry for the nitpicking, but 2Mbps is actually 2 megabits per second. If you are downloading 65MB in 40 seconds that's around 13Mbps. Not sure about Optus but certainly achievable with 3.5G/HSDPA.

        • Mokr on 06/08/2014 - 17:47

          ADSL connection is based on your distance from the exchange box (Where the fiber connects) the rest of the distance is made up of poor copper. You most likely are far from the exchange so receive bad connection speeds as copper has a greater limit over distance.

    • pococse on 06/08/2014 - 15:20
      +2

      If you are after 4G then Optus's $2 per day (pre-paid) offer will get you 4G for aprox $60 per month (with 15GB of data).

      The only issue is that you can only use 500MB of data per day. If that isn't a problem its definitely the best value for money 4G plan out there.

      • slipperypete on 06/08/2014 - 16:28

        you can use 1gb a day by paying an extra $2 when you pass 500mb, I used this for a long time and works great. Rang up and complained to them once because I used up complete 1gb allowance in about 10 minutes Thought it was impossible until I did it again and saw the download speed!!! Wasn't even in the city.

If only we could get Fiber to the home at 1000Mbps… Its a shame we wont see these speeds for another 20-30 years after they slowed down the NBN to 25Mbps connection is finished building at a cost of $38 billion… ohh wait dont i have 25mbps NOW!!! with ADSL2+ haha no point moving to 25mbps copper/fiber mix… no point at all.. may as well burn the $38 Billion or toss it in the trash.

    I would say that the new vidafone red month to month plans are much better specially with 4 g network for 50$/month you get:

    1)unlimited calls withen Australia
    2)unlimited texts in Australia and overseas
    3) 3 gb of internet data
    4)300 minutes if international phone calls

  • send2riven on 06/08/2014 - 15:16
    -4

    The Amaysim unlimited plan doesn't include international call, and most people won't use $500 worths of call credit or 1 Gb data, so I chose the Kogan TeleChoice $20 plan instead, comes with $500 call including international, unlimited text to Australia, and 1Gb data on Telstra 3G network.

    and don't forget, this is $5 increase deal, where is the bargain?

    • ESEMCE on 06/08/2014 - 15:21

      Be aware that Telechoice's International rates are exorbitant to some destinations.

        I didn't mention a phone, it's pre-paid.

        Look at any of the pre-paid reviews out there on LifeHacker, they all recommend Telstra as the best deal going, due the to quality of the network and reasonable data allowance

      • tarken on 06/08/2014 - 16:17

        cap encore is no longer available to new customers and the new freedom plan doesn't allow you to purchase data packs..

        • ctg on 06/08/2014 - 19:32

          The Encore name is gone but the Freedom $50 plan is exactly the same by the looks of it.

          $950 bonus credit + $50 credit (used to buy the 3GB data pack addon), 800MB data (charged per KB), and free talk and text from 6PM to 6AM.

          EDIT: Just read that you can't use your $50 to buy data for new customers! Ignore this post then…

    • PVA on 06/08/2014 - 17:27

      $50 encore pre-paid cap, which gives you 800MB and $50 credit, with that credit you can by 3GB of data, bringing the total to 3.8GB for $50 and about $1000 of call credit

        thats awesome

      • The Value on 06/08/2014 - 15:45

        Only problem, once you get the $49 data pack, you won't have enough credit to retrieve voicemails. Telstra charges like $1.11 per voicemail call and it's taken from recharge credit, not call credit.

        But great deal nonetheless.

        • timsmith6 on 06/08/2014 - 15:46

          sure not for everyone, I use their free sms voicemail service anyways

        • ctg on 06/08/2014 - 19:33

          As above, they've just renamed it. Encore is now 'Freedom'. Looks like the same inclusions as Encore had.

          EDIT: Bastards! If you can't buy the data packs, that's a no-go. Looks like I'm staying on this Encore idea…

      • PVA on 06/08/2014 - 17:29

        you cant buy the data with the credit anymore and they have made the new one 28 days instead of 30days. Read up on whirlpool about it.
        encore is gone, no-one can get it . only those on it right now can still have it.

      • timsmith6 on 07/08/2014 - 15:03

        Just saw they changed the plan 2 days ago, bastards. I'm going to stay grandfathered in for as long as they allow me, nothing else compares.

  • Marrk on 06/08/2014 - 15:53
    +1

    $50 per month with Telstra pre-paid is definitely more attractive than this. Better coverage across Australia, the best 4G network in Australia, $50 credit + $950 cap credit + 800MB data. You then have the option of spending $49 of the credit on a 3GB plus pack (3.8GB total). Don't need that much data? You can also use the credit in the Google Play Store with the Bill to Telstra feature, get a Google All Access Music subscription etc.

    The 1GB extra data is really just an excuse to increase the price by $5 per month. They would have done their research, and seen that only a fraction of customers use anywhere near 4GB of data per month.

    Edit: Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics suggest that the average mobile subscriber downloads about 300MB of data per month (October 2013).

    Anyways:
    Removal of free social media (currently on prepaid social with Optus so I'm used to having it being unlimited)

    Compulsory extra $5 fee just to increase data… Are they compensating for the loss of free social media by charging you for that compensation…

    Not a deal.

  • doze on 06/08/2014 - 20:17

    Terrible. My other half just ported over from the Lebara $29.90 plan. She needed to swap over to Optus because I just bought her a G Pro 2 from the 20% off eBay deal. Now she will be out of pocket $15 over her old plan. GG Amaysim. Might take a look at Vaya.

  • chill on 06/08/2014 - 23:40

    Liveconnected gave me 4G and kept social and per kb billing with my price increase….you should read the complaints about that on whirlpool.

    If you're operating - or looking to operate - at around the 2.5GB monthly data-use level, want 4G access, and are happy with postpaid instead of prepaid, Spintel have just announced a revamping of their plans.

    On the Optus network - with 4G access - the top plan now offers unlimited calls and text + aforementioned 2.5GB data-allowance, for $36 a month.
    Previous incarnation of the the plan was $45 a month, so quite a drop.

    I have no idea about the quality of the customer service, or other things related, but an option for some (of the royally-pissed-off above) to look at.

    • samfisher5986 on 07/08/2014 - 12:25

      That almost seems too good to be true.

      You just select the small plans and they automatically bump you if you use more…

      • [Deactivated] on 07/08/2014 - 12:51

        Yes, with the lower the plans, and on the surface of it, 'the bump' seems to just come with a 1 to 3 dollar monthly penalty.

        • samfisher5986 on 07/08/2014 - 13:00

          I don't get it, I don't see any penalty.

        • Axelstrife on 07/08/2014 - 13:14

          you have misunderstood it bump from small to med is $1
          med to large is $2 and Large to X large is $3
          there is no fee at all.

        • [Deactivated] on 07/08/2014 - 13:38

          I was using the word 'penalty' just in the context of extra (not anticipated) cost in a given month's (originally anticipated) spend. That's all.

    • Axelstrife on 07/08/2014 - 12:59

      Looks like really good value
      unlimited calls and 100 text and 2.5gb data looks awesome lol
