  • Hey Jnl, are you guys able to do a better price on the unlimited calls/txt BYO sim only deal for business owners if I sign/commit to a 24 month contract? Thanks!

    • Actually after a gold apple iPhone 6 plus 16GB on a unlimited calls/txt plan as well…any deals at the moment on this?

    • We do have an offer for slightly extra data at the moment for the plans above if your willing to commit to a 12 month BYO contract. You can get an extra 100MB on the $30, 250MB on the $45 and 500MB on the $60 plans.

      • how do you get the extra 100 mb?

        • if your willing to commit to a 12 month BYO contract

    Come off the grass optus.

    Carousel cannington [6107] 3g is stuffed completely.

    4k download maximum speed is the old dialup modem speed yes 4k

    If i drive to vic park 6101 i get 600k 3g download.

    Fix cannington 6107 carousel.

    It is pathetic.

  • is this 3G or 4G ?

  • Great price for people who have an existing broadband service as the $10 discount makes this highly competitive with cheaper MVNOs like Spintel.

  • What happen to existing customers?

    • -1

      Rot, optus not owned by Australia

    • Just talked with one rep through Web Chat.

      This offer applies to both new and existing customers.

      For existing customer, you have to ask customer service to change your OLD plan to the NEW Sim Only plan to qualify the extra 1GB.

      • I will try and see.

    Will the bonus data only last until the promotional period or will I be able to retain this bonus forever ?

    • +1

      My question to Optus rep:
      "Will extra 1GB last for the life of the service or just last to the end of the promotion?"

      The reply from Optus rep is:
      "Yes, until you make further changes. If you keep using the same plan, it will be 1.5GB data per month."
      PS. I'm on $30 plan.

    Still hard to beat the woolworth(optus) mobile legacy plan with 5 Gigs of data $500 voice and 45 days expiry all for $26

    • How do you get 26$ recharges? I am buying 30$ ones…

      • +1

        @elease

        Direct off Optus ;)

        • +1

          How did I miss it?!! Thanks a lot for the tip!

    • The woolworth 5 Gig deal is no longer exist, isnt it?

      • The (legacy) deal exists for those who recharge it. I've family still on it.

        • hmm, i still have this phone number hangin around somewhere.. I wonder if I can somehow reactivate it with a recharge?

  • Critical info summary is incorrect for both $45 and $60
    They both say up to 300 min when it should be unlimited for both.

    • Must have been fixed now- just downloaded the $60 one and it was correct.

  • -2

    The usual advertising… On Three UK similar gets 300mins ∞/ 25 gbytes networks.
    On Voda AU legacydata 18gb (cap40 bought .85*.80 w/groceries =$27) $1.50gb.
    Nothing to compel me to this either .. as above w. a skype sub=$30/50d.

    • Negged for observation or making a comparison ?
      Please point to any factual inaccuracy. Thanks.

  • Just got my existing account swapped over via chat. Very painless.

  • No international calling included?

    • Not included. But there are add on options for international calling on our postpaid plans. Alternatively, we have similar prepaids with excellent international calling rates.

  • For the $10 discount where you bundle with an optus internet service - can I get two $10 discounts if i get two mobile services?

    • Definately no, saw that last night when I was reading, —> http://www.optus.com.au/shop/bundles/discount/10-dollars?SID… this page, FAQ, about eight questions down.

      Quote:
      CAN I GET MULTIPLE DISCOUNTS ON THE SAME ACCOUNT?
      Only one $10 mobile discount can be applied per broadband service address. If there are other postpaid mobile plans at this address, the discount will be applied to the first mobile plan that was connected with a home broadband service at this address.

  • Don't think the 60 plan is very good value.

    Better off on the 4G $2 per day and get closer to 15GB data

    http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/prepaid/plans#daily-plus

    (as long as you set your mobile to not exceed 500MB a day)

  • The only good things about these is if you have optus broadband already, but without having that Vodafone are much better value.
    I can get the month to month sim only plans with unlimited calls for $45 normally $50, but they running promo for $5 discount. Includes same 3gb of data on 4g. But added bonus of Vodafone is I get 300 mins of international calls N $5 roaming., N I find Vodafone 4g and reception much better in my area

  • The signup process is messy. No proper confirm, clunky activation process, After I went through the activation process I then waited 24 hours to be told (after ELEVEN menu choices and 20 minutes on the help line) that my port hadn't worked (and that was from their associated MVNO). At that point, 7 days after I'd signed up, I decided to back out. Ported from the Optus MVNO to Lebara today and it went through in less than 30 minutes. Phew. Lebara's network on Vodafone works extremely well around my area too.

    The Optus process seems to be an uneasy mix of automated and manual systems and nothing (n my experience) works quite right. I was about to move multiple accounts to Optus but based upon my experience I decided not to bother.

    (As an aside, I also had to waste an hour and wander up to my post office to collect up my Optus SIM. It's much easier to grab a Lebara SIM from my local milk bar who also happily sells credit card size Lebara vouchers too.)

  • Merged from Bonus 1GB OPTUS BYO SIM + $10 off with Home Broadband Plan ($20 on 1.5GB Plan)

    This only really benefits those who took up the Optus Extends $90 Unlimited Broadband Offering to All Fixed Line Customers. Since it was pretty popular, I thought it was worth mentioning that a $20/month BYO SIM could be had if you bundle with home broadband plan for $10 off which includes:

    • UP TO 300 MINUTES
      Use more and get up to 200mins for $10 or UNLIMITED mins for $20
    • Unlimited SMS
    • 500MB + BONUS 1GB = 1.5GB

    I just upgraded to the Big Home Bundle with Samsung Galaxy Tab S for $90/month and I've switched from Vaya's $18/month plan, since Optus bills data per KB, can share data with your other devices for extra $5 per device.

    Or you could pay $55/month for a phone bill. :P

    • im confused, is this just for a sim plan or a new mobile phone contract plan ?

      • I think you can choose either

        • It seems to only be for a BYO phone SIM plan. The $35 phone plans still say 500MB.

      • +3

        This has to be the most confusing OzB post I've ever seen…

        • Nah, I couldn't understand what optus where selling, so I came to ozbargain and searched for the deal hoping it would be explained better, but I am still confused. I will call them tomorrow.

    • +1

      I think that should say $10 off not $100?

    • +1

      I can't tell if this is good deal or not but it sounds like there's potential..

    • Terrible trajectory for retail:
      from $26 a 5Gb (2013)wooolworths plan, to $20 & 70% (3.5gb)less +all the crud this encapsulates. Dupe also true.

      • might be 30% off, or 70% of the original.
