Our ultimate 'no worries' mobile plan with 5GB + unlimited talk & text
With our newest mobile phone plan you’ll enjoy a huge 5GB data plus unlimited standard calls & SMS for under $40 a month. You’ll have strong and reliable coverage on the superfast Optus 4G Plus network and the freedom of no lock-in contracts. No hassle. Just BYO mobile. Simple.
$10 for Your 1st 3 Months of UNLIMITED 5GB. New Online Orders Only
$10 credit to both the referrers on Unlimited Plans and referees. Referee needs to provide referrer with their email address.
For the excess data (7.2c/MB), it that on prepaid value or postpaid? I.e could you rack up $1000 bill and they ask you to pay later?
Edit: Essentially, is this a prepaid or postpaid service? Do they just cut you off for services when insufficient credit or do they keep allowing you to use your service and you keep incurring charges?
Telco's have to send you notice when you hit 50, 80 & 100%.
If you get to $1000 excess, you'd have to accept a chunk of responsibility. There's always the app you can check for usage.
Just spoke to them on live chat took a while to get through !! Anyways just wanted to give y'all a heads up data is billed in MB not KB unfortunately.
Still a great price tho !
I stand corrected thanks for the correct info and link Krouton. Can't believe they told me MB billing in the live chat.
Mate I think your chat info was correct. From what I have googled, it's per MB for 3G. Per KB for 4G.
2.3.1. Charges for the use of Mobile Data are based upon 1 MB increments per session for
3G only customers, and based upon 1 KB increments per session for 4G customers.
For 3G only customers, sessions that make up part of 1 MB will be rounded up to the
next full 1 MB increment. For 4G customers, sessions that make up part of 1 KB will
be rounded to the next full KB increment.
Hey, it's still a good deal!
How confusing haha. Thanks for looking into it MTWallett. Yeah it's still a good deal right on ! I just ordered and they charged me 39.90 eventho I applied the promo code. Hopefully they will rectify it otherwise not a bargain for me ! :(
I used 4G service for one day (signed up with this deal)and they DO bill in MB.
Beware!
I ordered the $5/month deal a day before this deal. Can I transfer to this deal or cancel my order and reorder this deal?
I started at Cash Rewards and linked to Amaysim. How long until I see the $35 show up in my Cash Rewards account?
i ordered mine this morning and already see the $35 in my cash rewards account
Can I use cash rewards in conjunction with refer a friend offer for this? Amaysim website stated I have to click on the unique link sent by friend. But Cash rewards also requires access to Amaysim via their website…
You can't and it's not possible
Lol, how greedy….
How much would you get as cashrewards?
I need to ask does this plan give you 5gb each months for three months OR 5gb total for the 3 months.
Each month 5gig
Each month
Heads up every one…in live chat they said their is a bug in their system you need to select standard delivery when going through checkout for the promo to be accepted.
Also on online promos:
This is an excerpt from the live chat I had with Amaysim
"Online promo orders are activated when they are sent"
So if you activate after 3 weeks of sent date you'll in effect lose 3weeks of usage.
I had next day selected and my order went ahead fine.
They can't activate before you receive the sim card, what if you're porting? That would probably result in you not having a valid sim for a few days…
Not sure what you mean. I ordered this morning and selected next day. My invoice says I was charged $10 by credit card. I ended up buying a retail sim across the street and activating on the promo via live chat. Proceeded to start my port and was up and running in 30 min.
It's already activated. The longer you don't use it the less you have left.
Guys, remember to check your bank statement, as I got charged $39.90 even though when I checked out it said $10…
The same happened to me. In fact, everything about the promotion (except the summary box) seemed to be forgotten.
Not only was my CC charged $39.90, but the online chat service rep said that my plan signup was not on the promo deal, meaning I would be charged $39.90 for the next two months.
She fixed it up by refunding $39.90, charging $10 and putting $79.80 credit on my account to pay for the next two months.
I think the problem came when I selected the "Postpaid" radio button AFTER entering the promo code. That cleared the code entry box, even though the screen still had a message that it had been applied and the summary box showed a cost of $10.
My suggestion would be to do all your entry on the "Payment" page (Pre or Postpaid, CC details, etc) BEFORE entering and applying the code.
Are we sure it's $10 for 3 months?
As I successfully ported logged in to look at the overview and it says:
Plan cost $39.90
Remaining data 5120MB /5120MB
Days left 30
Renews 12 Dec 2015
Auto-renew Every 30 days, renews 12 Dec 2015
Yes its $10 for 3 months ie $3.33 per month.
$3.33 per month?are you sure? To my understanding it was $10/month for first 3 months which total up $30 for first 3 months. Someone else also confirmed this I guess!
Yes, I confirmed with csr plus you can check other comments in this thread.
@pyramid: Just had chat with one of the customer support/sales person on their website, she confirmed that it is $10/month for 3 months
@pyramid: Thaks mate, I've just read your msg at the bottom. So confusing. different store rep says different thing!!
@imeanit: CSR was confused so first she said $10 for each month ie $30 for 3 months.. So i asked again and then she accepted that she got confused with someother promo and 3MONHTS promo gives 5 gb unlmtd for 3 months for total $10.
I just had a chat session which advised $10/month - so $30 for 3 months.
mine also says auto renew 30 days, not sure why because my invoice shows $10 for 3 months of unlimited 5gb
I managed to cancel my order for 'FIVER' ($5 for 2GB UNLTD) and place an order for '3MONTHS', with the SIM delivered within an hour! Ported from Vodafone soon after.
Amazing customer service from Amaysim. Thank you OP for posting this one.
Worth noting for this deal that they won't let you transfer the deal onto a retail SIM, you have to wait for the online ordered SIM to arrive.
That's odd. That's exactly what I did. I have a bunch of spare starter kits from the previous Woolworths deal. So I asked on Chat if they could activate this account on one of those. Which they did. They said they'd send me a replacement starter kit.
Must really depend on the rep you get…
I asked on Chat just now as I ordered for me and my parents over the weekend so it could take days for the sim to arrive to northern NSW and then potentially more days to port (my mum is on optus) and I was told that only way to use a retail sim was to cancel and pay full retail prices! :-(
So I declined and will have to get something working for my mum (who's month expired last night)… lucky she has a dual sim phone!
I signup and porting my number from Voda to Amaysim just now. I got charged $39.90 from my credit card and the tax invoice I got is show $39.90 as well. it is normal?I do not want to pay for $39.90,how can I cancel my order?
Thanks.
@aiyoyo This seems to have happened to a lot of people. See my post above https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/219043?page=2#comment-3196…
Just start an online chat from amaysim.com.au and ask the CSR to either cancel or fix it up. For me yesterday, the wait was about 10-15 minutes.
I'm with Optus now, but previously I was with Amaysim. Can I still take this deal?
Yes
I just chatted with Amaysim CSR
Me:
3MONHTS promo gives 5 GB UNLMTD plan for 3 months for $10 ie $3.3 per month?
Patricia (Amaysim CSR)
Yes, $10 for three months worth of unlimited 5GB
I am out of my 2 year contract with Telstra in two weeks. How can I make sure I don't miss out on this deal if I also want to port my number across?
yes, order this sim card. During order process, it'll ask you if you want to port your number, so say "yes" and use coupon code 3MONTHS. so you are all set. Once you receive sim card , you can start porting process anytime.
Dont forget to use either cashback or referral links.
Thanks, but wont that initiate the port immediately? Whatever happens I want to avoid early exit fees from Telstra.
You need to initiate port request from your amaysim account whenever you want to.
@pyramid:
Mate, can I request to port out on mid-Jan?! Still 2 more months to go on my plan :(
PS:Amaysim representative referred me to the offer T&C I've received in email!!! I haven't got the email, but found it in OZBARGAIN inbox :D
@Armin65:
yes, i guess so. I had a chat with Amaysim CSR other day and she confirmed that i can port-in to Amaysim in Jan'16. I assume you are not with Amaysim at the moment.
@pyramid: I used to be, but with optus now.
I did so, but one CSR told me I can, the other one refuse this could happen :(
@Armin65: Keep record of conversation and present them in Jan'16. Most of the time they are very reasonable.
@Armin65: just let you know. I purchased this deal on Nov 16. Waited util now to port my Telstra number 1 hour ago.
It says the following in Overview
Days left30
Renews 07 Jan 2016
Auto-renewEvery 30 days
in My Settings, it says
Promotion - $10 for 3 months of UNLIMITED 5GB. Valid to: 16 Feb 2016
so I guess I have only 2 months left to use.
The sim was NOT activated and I need to initiate the transfer by myself to activate it, but the promotion is counted from whenever I placed the order.
anyone ported in and activated this deal yet? im still waiting for port out to voda then back in.Do i need to use a different email address than i had previously used on amaysim during signup?
You can use same email address.
Got my sim the next day, ported and up & running wooohoo. Now to figure out what the finer details are…I'm a rookie ozbargainer and this is my first prepaid switch for a good bargain! thanks OP
Hi Guys,
I have an unused Amaysim SIM card with me(which is still active, but currently not on any plan). What is the best way to avail this offer
1) Port my number to some other network and port back in - I've asked this question to their representative on live chat and they suggested that it won't work as the account will not be deleted.
2) Order for a new SIM while buying this plan.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Do you have to give them your cc details? Hoping for a clean purchase, where I just pay the $30 through paypal hopefully?
You can't use PayPal
when is the deal expiring?
30 Nov
Odd question, can you get cashrewards and use the a referral at the same time?
No. You can't.
Checked out and after it took my details it came up with 'Oops - 500 Internal Error'…
this happened to me too
then I checked my bank (ing) to see id been billed $10
then 2 minutes later I got a welcome and email verify email from amaysim.
1 minute after that "Hey Dean,
Thanks for joining amaysim! Your SIM card will arrive within 2-5 business days."
Then approx 5 mins later received
"Use code B8D8QG now and get 50% OFF your first order
Hey there, your amaysim shopping cart’s full but you left it behind."
I hope I still get cashrewards but might not due to amaysim error-ing out ?
Still a good deal though for $10
currently trying to port over…
requested to port about 8:30am, by 10am my old sim stopped working.
new amaysim now receiving calls from my number, however unable to make calls or use data.
according to amaysim my port is still going through??
finally worked about 7:40pm
I've had a port to vodafone that took over a day. When i called to see what the delay was they actually didn't receive my request to port in their system even though i received an email from them immediately saying they were porting it over…..sounds like amaysim are getting a call/live chat 10 minutes after i port to speed up the process…..not waiting it out again like vodafone!
i spoke to amaysim 3 times yesterday, the last time at 6pm (after being told at 2pm to contact them if the port didnt work) i was told it can take up to 3 days and to wait.
whatever the hold up was it was at the amaysim end as their simcard was active as of 9am with my ported number receiving calls from that time, took until 7:40pm for them to turn on the call credit it was activated with.
@smacko: wow that is not good to hear! I was like a few others who were over charged for the sim and told to wait 5 days for them to respond to my email. I guess you just have to be persistent but it's not a great look on amaysim.
@lkp:
still haven't received an email saying my account is live..
for anyone how has moved across for this deal, currently is says i'm set to auto renew after 30days, doesn't say anything about having another 2months worth of recharges available
no idea what will happen but i'm set to BPAY for auto renew so they can't take money from my CC, even though the next 2 months have been paid for
@smacko:
How about now? Any update on the status?
Totally confused, $10 for 3 months OR $10 each month for 3 months?!?!? That's the question :(
@pyramid:
Clear enough Pyramid. Just bought one.
I contacted them regarding initiating porting progress in 2 months. CSR confirmed that I still can activate the sim I receive after 30 days. U reckon everything is set to activate it early Jan? Can I still have these 3 months for $10 after then?
@smurfinaus: Yes, you need to leave auto renew ON. I have confirmed with live chat that turning off auto renew will cause problems..
You may change payment method at any time, but in order to get the second and third month free as part of this deal, you need to leave auto renew turned ON.
So much confusion about this deal.
Im still tossing up whether to do it. Or just 10 bucks onto a prepaid card and do it so i wont be charged 30 bucks if it doesnt go through correctly
Works fine, on Amaysim now and I was charged $10.
Have u activated it yet?
Yep, works fine but the actual plan lasts 3 months from the order date as mentioned above.
you sure about that? my renewal data is the date i activated (ported in), which is 4 days after i ordered the sim
@smacko: Your one is correct, it's how Amaysim works (starts after you activate, NOT order). A lot of people don't know what they're talking about in this thread.
Jeenee on the other hand starts from when you order the sim, which is unfair and I have contacted TIO regarding that, and they refunded the money.
Hi,
While choosing do I need to select a prepaid plan or a postpaid plan to avail of this offer ?
Prepaid, then enter the promo. (Don't forget CashRewards before checking out)
Can I turn auto renew off on the app or will it stop after first month and I've got payment set to BPay thanks
For anyone who was worried and had turned it off, turn auto renew back ON and leave it on until you're into your third month on this deal. It needs to stay on otherwise they can't give you the second and third months for free.
Payment set to BPAY should be fine.
I spoke with live chat and confirmed this is the case.
When is the last day you can do this deal ?
30 Nov
Do you HAVE to port ?
Nope, u can get a new number
The code is no longer on the cash rewards site…. I hope it still works with this deal.
i bought this yesterday through cashrewards.
did you get a tracking receipt?
Yes I did get a tracking receipt
i did use qwibble but have yet to receive email confirmation about the $39. i will wait til tomorrow if not i give them a call
