SWITCH

MOD: This has been received from Amaysim (2 Dec 2015):

amaysim updated the redemption details of this offer last week so that once a user puts this code into the funnel, the success message clearly states that this offer is only valid if redeemed by someone bringing a TPG number to amaysim… If new customers bring a non TPG number to amaysim and claim this SWITCH offer they do risk the promo not being honoured, as the user will have breached the terms and conditions of the offer.

Therefore it is a targeted offer for customers of TPG mobile. There is no guarantee that promotion will be honoured.

FIRST TO BE POSTED ON OZBARGAIN

All you have to do is port any number with TPG and you will get the deal

Another deal for amaysim from a reliable source. This is worthy of a deal on its own as it equates to $5 per month for 6 months

$29.90 for 6 months of UNLIMITED 2GB – pay 1st month at $29.90 and get 5 months free. Online only, first order only.

If you would like $10 FREE Bonus Credit, feel free to use my referral link http://amaysi.ms/r/KwbWMrHd

EDIT 1: This deal will NOT work with Cash Rewards and other cashback sites

EDIT 2: Received this from Amaysim, which they asked to be included in this deal:

  • Offer is exclusively for those bringing an active TPG mobile number to amaysim. See the promo landing page at https://www.amaysim.com.au/mobile-plans/tpg for more info.
  • Those bringing a number to amaysim from a provider other than TPG are breaching the Terms and Conditions of the offer and are excluded from the offer.

        If you don't have that promotion banner after starting the activation I'd be a bit concerned - might have to fight for it :(

    Great! Now my service is in LIMBO. Optus have ported me over now I have No SERVICE. Looks like amaysim are doing everything to stop non-tpg customers porting over.

    • easternculture on 28/11/2015 - 12:19

      thats because porting is not complete yet. Give it a couple of hours and service should be active.

      although porting usually takes longer over the weekend

      • FrankMt on 28/11/2015 - 12:22

        I ported over on Friday evening and it still isn't done, weird.

        • easternculture on 28/11/2015 - 12:23

          Is the name and DOB the same on both accounts.

        • FrankMt on 28/11/2015 - 12:25

          @easternculture: Yep, myamaysim website seems to think I haven't received my sim yet even though I clicked "begin number transfer process". I hope the credit period begins from when the number transfers rather than payment date otherwise that's a loss of like 5 days.

        • dubcmj on 28/11/2015 - 12:28

          @FrankMt:
          I'm also porting from Optus (Yatango). The Amaysim page said porting from Optus can take 2-3 business days. So I guess we could be looking at Tuesday or Wednesday if the port started on Friday.

        • woekoa on 28/11/2015 - 12:51

          @dubcmj:
          It took 24 hrs to port from Optus 2 days ago.

        • videoman on 28/11/2015 - 15:26

          @woekoa:
          When I transferred my number it said it would take 3 hours for telstra users and 2 to 3 days for everyone else.

    • bloomer on 28/11/2015 - 19:55

      Your service should still work fine with your original provider until the porting to Amaysim is complete. If your original service isn't working and porting isn't complete, then something has been stuffed up big time. (I hope you didn't cancel your original service before porting, as that would be fatal for the process.)

    • Austrian Oak on 28/11/2015 - 21:23

      My service kicked in eventually. Just very odd that I lost service for about 5 hours today where my number was disconnected. Never experienced this with a port over before.

  • cv05 on 28/11/2015 - 18:00

    My wife's phone is with Vaya, yesterday at 5:30pm I activated the transfer and it just went through now. Popped the Amaysim card in and instantly worked.

  • cv05 on 28/11/2015 - 18:58

    OK all, now that the card is activated, when I log into "Myamaysim" it shows:

    UNLIMITED 2GB
    4G enabled
    Days left30
    Renews 28 Dec 2015
    Auto-renewEvery 30 days

    Even though I signed up using the promo code, it looks like it's not being honored.

    I have an invoice here stating $29.90 for 6 months, so I'm going to fight it with them.

    • GameChanger on 28/11/2015 - 19:09

      Oh the irony, when you asked me what's so funny.

      • cv05 on 28/11/2015 - 19:12

        Not really mate, you're too quick to jump in again. I was just posting as you posted that when I turned off auto-renew I get a nice little purple banner that says:

        "Promotion - $29.90 for 6 months of UNLIMITED 2GB. Valid to: 23 May 2016"

        What was that about irony?

        • GameChanger on 28/11/2015 - 19:38

          I would wait till the end of the 30 days before saying quick to jump in again.

          +1

          Don't panic. This is ok. Your invoice shows what you paid for. You are on a monthly-renewing service, so that info is correct. It doesn't mean you are billed.

          The PROMOTION line is not advertising anything. It is telling you what plan you are on — that's why it shows the "Valid to" info. Your promotional plan expires on 23 May 2016, after which you'll be billed the normal monthly amount.

    • illumination on 29/11/2015 - 06:11

      When did you order and when did you initiate the port?

  • dubcmj on 28/11/2015 - 19:45

    My number has successfully ported over from Yatango. Everything is working, and it says this when logging into my plan on the amaysim site: "Promotion - $29.90 for 6 months of UNLIMITED 2GB. Valid to: 22 May 2016"

  • chipstss on 28/11/2015 - 23:13

    Optus number successfully ported 👌👌

  • mudkipz on 29/11/2015 - 19:12

    Do I have to go buy a $2 sim first? Or they just post one to me?

  • maddykartik on 30/11/2015 - 11:35

    Now that Amaysim looks likely to honour the deal for the ones (non-TPG ports) who got in early, can I try ordering now?
    I have a vodafone service though.

    • mily on 30/11/2015 - 11:54

      I would say smaller chance to get in after they found out and added the word "TPG" into their T&C.

    • djshitu on 30/11/2015 - 13:37

      Would like to know as well.

    • dexx on 30/11/2015 - 14:40

      Its a pity TPG isnt still available to buy. I expect i could port across a non-tpg number and get the deal. But whose to say Amaysim wont cancel such arrangements after the first month?

  • mikedenoob on 30/11/2015 - 14:08

    • PinkieMillie on 30/11/2015 - 22:12

      just to clarify
      above is the text from my chat with Amaysim
      doesnt sound like they will be honoring the deal for non TPG
      ive asked for a refund which will apparently be done in 2-3days fingers crossed
      P.s this is my wifes account thus the different suer name didint realise till i posted the reply

    Yare yare what a debacle. Im porting from Vaya which hasn't one thru btw (waiting since friday).
    Amaysim better honour this or pay me back.
    Now they claim something is wrong with the site and functions will be affected.

    Like others have said what was the purpose of the dropdown if it allowed you to select a vnmo other than TPG?

    Bloody port me. Optus to optus 3 days. Telstra to optus few hours what a joke.

    PS: Ive never joined a lawsuit. If this fails someone start one and let me know

      Clearly no one here has a sense of humour. What are you down voting. The blatant lies?

  • ausmark on 01/12/2015 - 01:05

    Sadly, it seems amaysim won't be honoring any non TPG ports. I've had a couple of support chats and been in email contact with their support team, and they're being pretty anal about it. Apparently because I have changed my mind, in a gesture of goodwill, they are offering one month free with the one paid month. Whoopdy bloody do!

    I still argue:

    • I signed up with no knowledge of a TPG offer.
    • I agreed to all terms and conditions presented to me at the point of sale, which at no point mentioned TPG.
    • On entering the code and when specifying the carrier I was switching from, no TPG requirements were presented.
    • In contract terms, an offer was made and accepted, so as far as in aware this is a legally binding contract.
    • Their automated systems, processes and people chose to charge my credit card, chose to send me an invoice which makes no mention of TPG, and chose to send me a SIM card.
    • I have not changed my mind, so they are the ones breaching the contract.

    I didn't get far via chat or email, so am now Facebook ranting and encourage you all to do the same.

    I tagged @amaysim and #amaysimfail, please do the same!

    • mily on 01/12/2015 - 10:25

      I will just wait a month and see how it goes, if they start to charge me after one month, I will simply port out from them and raise a charge back from my credit card company as they have breached the contract I initially signed for when porting in. No sure if there is any better way to do other than one free month of usage?

    • Kendawwg on 05/12/2015 - 20:41

      did you have a copy of the terms and conditions which does not mention TPG? That would help out for me. Thanks.

  • Joyoz on 01/12/2015 - 01:45

    I went to woolworths and bought a new Amaysim and registered to my account because I had not received the other one. So mine works. This advice was given to me by someone from Amaysim. Happy to discuss via PM with others. The promo is also applied to my account.

    goodluck guys on the 6 month deal, i didnt want to risk it so went for the 3 months unlimited offer for $10 and got 2 x $10 referral credits which works out to be cheaper. any idea on the time limit to activate sim after receiving it? i plan on activating the new sim just under 1 month after the order was placed. hope it will still work and count from day of activation not shipping.?

  • [Deactivated] on 01/12/2015 - 09:56

    MAYBE USEFUL INFO?

    I tried porting to this deal from a 3 week expired Vodafone sim, and expected it would fail.
    It worked fully, and may save some people buying $1 or $2 sims just for porting purposes.

    The sim was a normal Vodafone 30day 3G Prepaid starter kit sim, and had finished up 3 weeks ago. Vodafone say somewhere that they will recharge (and the number is held) for 13 months after expiry.

    So as I've done my headbutt the cross thing here, can someone else try an expired telstra or optus sim for porting from now or later.

    Would be good to know this info.

  • northern nsw on 01/12/2015 - 10:12

    I ported over today an expired Telstra number, all good.

    • [Deactivated] on 01/12/2015 - 15:24

      Thanks. So expired sims (VF and Telstra) appear to port successfully. I guess as long the number hasn't been recycled. Which is possibly 13 months for vodafone.

    James
    Hi Muhammad

    I was sent a link to sign up to a plan by a friend. The offer was for $29.90 for 6 months unlimited 2GB.
    I am in the process of porting to find out that this was maybe only for TPG customers. Is this correct?

    Muhammad A
    Please wait while i check your account

    Thank you very much for waiting , can i confirm your last name and date of birth please ?

    James
    Sure. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Muhammad A
    Thank you very much for verifying yes that offer is for TPG customers

    you number is under porting process

    James
    There was no mention of this during sign up or on my invoice (# XXXXXXXX). Will I be receiving the offer I signed up for?

    Muhammad A
    yup you are on 6 months offer :)

    Have I managed to resolve your query today?

    James
    OK great. Thanks

  • nightelves on 01/12/2015 - 13:43

    Does anyone know if this deal works if you've paid for the plan leave it for a couple of months then activate it? Would it start from the day of activation or the purchase date?

    • [Deactivated] on 01/12/2015 - 15:11
      +1

      Probably best to activate it straight away if your not porting from TPG.
      Also the account date appears to start from the date the number is ported. So not from the purchase date. My 1st months expiry is 31 Dec 2015, Just activated this morning.

    Hi,

    Thanks for signing up with amaysim. When you ordered your new amaysim SIM Card we can see you redeemed the ‘SWITCH’ promotional code. This offer is exclusively available to those new to amaysim who bring across a current TPG mobile number. The details of the offer can be seen here - https://www.amaysim.com.au/mobile-plans/tpg with the terms and conditions of the offer here - https://www.amaysim.com.au/dms/amaysim/documents/terms-condi….

    When you signed up you indicated you were bringing your number to amaysim from someone other than TPG. We just wanted to flag that, as stated in the offer terms and conditions, if you bring a number from someone other than TPG you will not be eligible for this promotion.

    We’ve got a couple of other promotional offers available at the moment, so please drop us a line if you’d like details on those.

    Kind regards

        I paid and received invoice on the weekend, still waiting for sim to arrive, so have not started the porting process as yet. I don't want to port if they won't honor the deal as I can't be stuffed porting out again after 1 month.

    I have received another email from amaysim (through APD, the affiliate network amaysim is using). Let me emphasise again that this promotion is TPG mobile customers only, and if you sign up to amaysim using this promo code but are not a TPG customer, there is no guarantee that the promotion will be honoured.

    • mily on 02/12/2015 - 22:19

      Well, also no guarantee that the promotion will NOT be honoured, especially for those who jumped on quickly and ported before they changed the T/C and added the word "TPG"?

        What a shambles on their behalf, if they want to stop people porting over well then fix up the website to deny non TPG users porting.

      • Moderatorscotty on 02/12/2015 - 23:01

        The promotion has always been TPG mobile customers only. This promotion getting posted on OzBargain without disclosing those facts doesn't mean that it wasn't the case originally. In fact if you take a look at the revision history when easternculture first posted it was TPG customers only but he later on changed. I added the notes on 25 Nov stating that the promo is actually targeted but EC added more notes saying that amaysim is honouring the deal. I received more emails from amaysim today because of that comment.

        This promotion was passed onto the affiliate channel on 24 Nov at 2:31PM. As far as I know it wasn't even announced to TPG customers (not that amaysim would have the customer list in the first place). Here is an extract of the email:

        This offer will only be seen in the amaysim paid online media channels, with messaging calling out that this is for TPG customers only.

        I have no idea where did EC received the information about this offer but I assume also from the affiliates or from others working in the affiliate space. However targeting clause was edited out when the deal was posted here on OzBargain, which was the cause of all these confusion.

        • GameChanger on 02/12/2015 - 23:17

          I was going to inquire more about that!

          I still feel this 'deal' was the biggest bait and switch as the original post said "Exclusive to Ozbargain" either OP lied or he was working with Amaysim and they just wanted to hit front page then change their mind.

          Imo this 'deal' should have been moved to forums because if it stayed as on TPG no ways it would have made front page.

          No i didn't. Don't put words in my mouth. I said FIRST TO BE POSTED ON OZBARGAIN

          And as explained in a previous comment, i tried the promo code and it worked on a normal number and that's when i edited the post to reflect the new information.

          The deal was deceiving and I believe there was something behind the scenes.

  • lostn on 02/12/2015 - 20:05

    I need some clarification. If I hold onto the SIM for a while before activating it, does my 6 months begin from the time I activate it, or from the time I ordered the sim?

    Because the new $25 ebay promo gives you a month with 5GB, which is incredible, and I want to use that first.

          I had changed all 3 to bpay/voucher, but on one i forgot to tick the autorenew and it reverted to "as you go" with no credit. I messaged them on facebook on new years eve about 7pm and within 15 mins they fixed it up. Pretty happy with that.
