I changed phones three days ago then optus sent me the following msg.
OptusMSG: Hey, looks like you got a new phone! We're giving you 1GB of bonus data to get you started. Simply free text 'YES' to 7777 before……..etc.
Got my bonus data immediately after replying.
I will be sapping back to my old phone over the weekend to see if the msg gets re-sent.
Sorry for the lack of image, I'm yet to figure out how to screenshot this phone (Doogee F1).
Took a couple of days to get the msg but after going away for the xmas break I lost my rollover so this was a nice bonus.
Hmmm I'll change sim to another phone just to see if it works for me but that sim is on Connect For Less ( talk/sms but can use for data)
Just remembered this phone is dual sim, will switch it to the other port now. I doubt the msg will come to me twice, didn't get one last year when I switched phones.
Free 1GB Data on OPTUS Prepaid When Changing Phones
This might be targeted..
I just changed phones with my wife and didn't get an extra 1GB.
with my wife
:O
I had to check that I did say 'phones'…
Swapping clothes again?
Hang on… All the PC cronies are going to get you now…
runs out of room >>>>>>>>>>
Read that first as charging phones… Im thinking sweeet here comes data for charging my phone
Same here :p
Try pressing and holding the home and power button till the screen flashes? :S
This could be Optus' Ping Pong for lots of data. But I doubt it…
Prepaid or postpaid?
Didn't know the sim has record about the phone you put it in ?
If that's the case, Optus will need a huge database to keep track of all the sim-phone combination of all the customers.
My guess is that they record the IMEI of every phone that connects to their network. If it's an existing customer (prepaid sim) using a completely new phone (IMEI has never connected before), they may send out this offer. They would probably also have other checks, like whether the user has had any free/bonus data already, etc.
Possibly. Or it might be just user based like whether you've been on optus with this imei before or something.
I had to change my sims around with my old phone for 4G today. If I don't get the 1GB for getting "a new phone", even though my phone thinks it's a different phone (new custom rom based on a different model)… probably imei.
Waited a few days to post this, but got a new phone, popped my old SIM in and didn't get the 1GB of extra data. Ah well
Sweet, just bought the Nexus 5X so can't wait for this! can confirm if it works whenever I get the phone in the post :P
