It seems that if you're an existing iiNet or Westnet broadband customer and don't currently have a mobile plan then you can get $15 off your bill every month for 6 months if you sign up for a new moth-to-month mobile plan.

It looks as though you can cancel after 6 months with no penalty. Theoretically you could sign up for the $15 plan and get 200MB and $200 worth of calls and SMS for free.

Or if you take any of the other plans it's still pretty good value for a 4G service:

$30 becomes $15 for 1GB, $500 worth of calls and unlimited SMS
$40 becomes $25 for 2GB, $800 worth of calls and unlimited SMS
$60 becomes $45 for 3GB and unlimited calls and SMS

SIM only mobile plans

Our plans will work on 4G, 3G, and 2G networks, depending on coverage in your area and your handset’s capabilities.

Our SIM-only mobile plans let you keep your old mobile number, while giving you beefy call and data value.

And, new customers signing up before 2 December 2014 will receive $15 off their monthly bill for the first six months*. Our plans will work on 4G, 3G, and 2G (never heard of 2G) networks, depending on coverage in your area and your handset's capabilities.

*Normal monthly mobile fees apply after the 6 months is over, unless the 4G SIM service is cancelled.

    Also for Adam internet

    Was tempted to switch from Vaya's $18 plan with dodgy 1MB billing until I noticed the $20 sim fee, which negates the savings I would have made for the 6 months.

    Also can't see how iiNet bills data, it just shows per MB in excess, not how it counts data before that?

    I cant seem to see where they offer $15 off each months subscription

      It's on the first screen before scrolling - under the heading "SIM only mobile plans"

    Mm. Not reaaaally a bargain. Pretty much if your internet is out of or almost out of contract, you are offered x months off a new service. Whether that is when you add your phone line and bundle it in, or get a new mobile service, modem, etc. Discount will be on whatever you are getting.

      I don't get what you mean? You don't need to re-contract to get this offer. Basically you get a SIM for $20 and 6 months of the $15 plan at no charge or $15 off any of the other plans.

      • Morien on 03/10/2014 - 23:33

        Oh, wow. Just saw the details. Ok. My bad. What I said is still the case though (about getting x months off when you recontract your adsl)

  • captobvious on 03/10/2014 - 17:42

    Do they use optus or telstra?

      Scroll to the bottom of the page - Why Mobile Voice with iiNet?

        Maybe an Indonesian/Malaysian speaker trying to write dua and dual at the same time? :)

  • retiredfeline on 03/10/2014 - 18:17

    Tempted, but it will cost $20 min for the SIM over 6 months. The rates are inflated Optus rates. For $20 on Amaysim and similar providers, I could have 166 minutes of national calls or 400MB of data (at excess rates even), or any mix in between.

    • Rutger on 03/10/2014 - 18:26

      Amaysim 3G per Mb Data and $20 every month
      iiNet 4G per Kb Data and $20 once

      • retiredfeline on 03/10/2014 - 18:41

        Amaysim 3G per Mb Data and $20 every month

        Not on AYG, there is no minimum spend. The minutes I quote are based on 12c/minute calls and 5c/MB data. So you could spread that spend over 6 months for similar comparison.

        As for the MB session rounding I've never had issues with that. Maybe if your phone experiences a lot of dropouts or you needlessly toggle mobile data you might.

        You're right about 4G, but I don't need that.

          I'm not a heavy user, I don't have useless apps on my phone (not even Facebook), I'm in good reception areas and I'm in wifi range at home and at work.

          But I went through my data itemisation and the amount of sessions <1MB was over 300, with tons of them even <10kB. Per MB billing is a joke and like most people I never would have realised it if I hadn't gone through my itemisation. They get away with counting… countless data that people have never used.

        • retiredfeline on 03/10/2014 - 19:23

          @Tir: That's never happened to me. Maybe it's your combination of phone and reception.

  • Helenn on 03/10/2014 - 18:27

    Actually this is not too bad - 1gb data charged by kb, 500mins of calls and unlimited sms for $15/month. I don't think their plans are particularly good value without the $15 off and I'm not super excited about optus - but at the moment this seems to be a pretty great deal.
    Was looking at swapping over to Vaya or Jeenee anyway so would be up for a $20 sim cost regardless. TBH though it was one of the things that was stopping me moving to Vaya - because as a low end user it is a whole months phone bill just for the sim!
    To bad though - and it works out $5-$15/mth cheaper than what I am paying at the moment so will recoup the sim cost pretty quickly.

    In the email I got, I cannot work out how they have calculated the Total Minimum cost or whay 1GB of data costs 7.5 cents to 2 cents. And, why do they charge a $69 early termination fee.

    Total minimum cost on the $15 plan is $208.90, $223.90 on the $30 plan, $233.90 on the $40 plan, and $253.90 on the $60 plan. Total minimum costs include monthly SIM plan charge including $15 monthly discount, $20 upfront SIM cost + $39.95 1 month ADSL2+ Home-1 broadband plan charge + $79.95 standard broadband set-up charge + $69 early termination fee. After the 6 month period, normal monthly SIM fees will apply unless the SIM service is cancelled.

    Please note, not all mobile handsets are compatible with our SIM cards, or it may be necessary for your handset to be unlocked before it can work with our SIM plans.

    Standard cost information: A standard national mobile call incurs a flagfall of $0.35 and a per minute rate of $0.90. Hence a 2 minute standard national mobile call will cost $2.15. A standard national mobile SMS will cost $0.25. Using one gigabyte of data within Australia will cost $0.075 on the $15 plan, $0.02 on the $30 plan, $0.015 on the $40 plan and $0.02 on the $60 plan. Any excess data above your monthly allowance will be charged at $0.05 per megabyte.
