As topic suggest, am looking for the cheapest prepaid sim for an alarm system.
My area is good for Optus and Telstra so I assume Voda is also fine.
The alarm (I think) uses full size SIM and I think it only sends out SMS a few times a month.
Given fellow OzBargainers are more up to date with the ever-changing prepaid plans out there, thought I get some help on recommending a cheap provider.
Thanks in advance for your kind help =)
Is this the one you are referring to?
assume 4 sms per month for 12 months which arrives at $5.76 per annum!
Looks good, thanks!
Now I need to confirm how many times that alarm will send out the sms!
Pay As You Go
All new SIM cards come with $5 of included Pay As You Go (PAYG) credit loaded onto them. You can add a Value Pack or Data Pack to your PAYG base plan to get extra value.
Casual calls, SMS, data
Use your credit on what you like, whenever you like
Long lasting credit
Our Pay As You Go plans give you 365 day credit expiry.
Great value
Calls 12c per min, SMS 12c each, international calls from 10c per min
Did you know? You can buy recharge vouchers in store for our Pay As You Go credit plans.
Terms and conditions apply, please read our Critical Information Summaries to determine if this is the right option for you.
The initial sim is $5, with $5 credit. Recharges after is $15.
Hi there, would you happen to know what the minimum recharge needs to be to get another 365 days after 365 days?
Thinking of getting a spare number to call other adults/emergency services for the kids, if something happens to the adult at home, since we do not have a landline.
Make sure the system uses only SMS and no data as that would change your options significantly.
That's actually a very good question. I wouldn't have a clue. It's a Bosch 6000 GSM module…
Oops I jumped the gun and went with the Aldi offer, fingers crossed it's indeed only sms
im sure that uses sms.
No need to top up after 12 months with $15. Just get another sim from them for $5 unless your alarms send out lots of sms.
Ahhh thanks
Strangely the security installer recommended amaysim sim . Is there a plan there that's cheaper?
Amaysim pay as you go. And credit lasts 365 days.
Isn't Aldi the same?
Aldi - Telstra network
Amaysim - Optus network
Amaysim site says 90days
I was wondering how you went with the Aldi Mobile SIM in your Bosch Solution 6000 alarm panel.
I have just purchased the same alarm system.
Can you please tell me how much mobile data the unit uses?
dont think it uses data. i get sms all the time but its just the routine system test and the ad-hoc forgetfulness of walking into an armed location.
Hi guys, im bringing up an old post rather than creating a new one, as the Aldi plan is no longer available/super seeded. I am with belong currently and thinking of just getting a $10 sim and taking the extra data for myself? Is there anything else i should know?
Aldi 365 day plan with $15 credit
