Online only offer, available till 30 Sept. Good for when the same deal at Coles and Officeworks ends, or for those who don't live near either store.

To get the bonus data on offer, activate and recharge on chosen plan within 30 days of purchase. Confirmed via Online Chat - an unactivated SIM is valid until the expiry date printed on the pack (ie, you don't have to activate it within 30 days unless you'd like the bonus data).

Limited to 1 per customer.

NOTE: Discount only shows by clicking Buy Now on the blue banner with "$20 off $30 Prepaid Sim" (if banner is not visible, try turning off AdBlock).

    Clicked the link it's shows as $30 not $10
    Is there further information or instruction for this deal?

    • gnv9 on 10/09/2016 - 23:59

      Strange, it was working before. Try going through the banner on this page - should show as $10. The URL is the same, I am not sure why it's not linking.

        The banner is detected by adblock as an 'ad' element because it contains 'banner' in it's class and script name, so you need to temporarily whitelist the page to see the banner.

  • ronnknee on 11/09/2016 - 00:45

    Shows $10 for me when I click on the blue banner. Didn't have to disable AdBlock .

    • gnv9 on 11/09/2016 - 00:50

      Great! I think what scrimshaw meant was that the banner might not be visible if AdBlock is on.

  • bargainhereicome on 11/09/2016 - 01:57

      yes, 2018 most likely
      the last one i got from Optus online was to August 2018.
      most of the ones i get from Coles/Woolies are Feb 2018

        Mine purchased with this offer just arrived with an expiry of 01 Sep 2018.

        Came with AusPost's "StarTrack" courier service surprisingly enough.

  • bargainhereicome on 11/09/2016 - 02:03

    good to stock up some if you have relatives or friends coming over, better than recharge an existing number :)

    "Limited to 1 per customer. Activate & recharge on chosen plan within 30 days of purchase. Offer ends 30 Sep 16."

    Do you seriously need to active within 30 days of purchase?

    • itdaddy on 11/09/2016 - 07:24

      Can they restrict the credits prior to expiry dates? Have problems (No credit) when I switched from Coles prepaid to Optus prepaid. The customer service operator told me need to go to optus store to verify. :-(

    Seems it's 2GB of data, not 3GB, Unless you use it by 30/10/2016. Bit misleading.

    And must activate within 30 days of purchase by the looks.

    I bought one from Coles yesterday in Werribee Plaza. They also sell it for $10, and expire at Feb 2018.
    Good deal.

    • JaxSantiago on 11/09/2016 - 12:10

      Did you purchase over the counter or via the Self Service Machine? I was told by a friend that the Self Service Machine showed "Activating.." when she bought 1 (and that a Staff attention is required).

      The card expiry is Feb 2018.

      • hkmax721 on 11/09/2016 - 13:10

        From counter. Bought lots of stuff and can't be bother to check out at self serve.
        But last time, when I check out at self serve, staff require before payment. That's couple months ago.

      • tonsta on 13/09/2016 - 02:03

        the simcard is made available for activation in the optus system when you buy it at coles register.

        You still need to activate it like your normally would online.

  • PrimalNuke on 11/09/2016 - 10:13

    Can I buy one of these and use it to pay for things on the Google Play Store?

    • gnv9 on 11/09/2016 - 11:55

      No (as far as I know).

    "Activate and recharge on chosen plan within 30 days of purchase."
    This limit……

    This coles special circle provides $10 for optus $30 starter kit as well. But the expiry date is Feb 2018.

    • Durant on 11/09/2016 - 20:38

      But how do they force you to activate the sim within 30 days? I guess the only way they could do so is to send you a sim expiring within 30 days, which is not very possible IMO.

      • itdaddy on 11/09/2016 - 23:01

        Saw that there is half price for Optus cards at Woolworth. However, I noticed that they state: sim card has no value and will need to be topped up during purchase. Probably expect you to activate then… Looks like Optus is trying to close the loop hole.

        • scrypton on 12/09/2016 - 08:54

          I think this is a different kind of "activation".

          In the olden days, all starter kits already have values in them and stored behind the counter. But this means that people won't be able to see their full product offerings an would have to queue on the counter to get the starter kits (and this wastes everyone's time). So they decided to put them on the shelves.

          But since they are 'high-ticketed' items, they need a way to make sure that those SIM cards are only functional after they have been 'verified' at the checkouts (which is why the self-checkout counters will ask you to call a staff to verify your starter kit purchases).

          This 'verification' is different than the 'activation' where you go to their website to activate. During checkout, you only make the purchase, but on the website, you will provide details, identification, and choose the pre-paid plan.

          As to the expiry date, I still believe that whatever is stated on the starter pack is the true expiry date, meaning that you have until that date to activate.

          When they say 'activate within 30 days' I would assume they relate to the bonus data promotion, because if you activate after 30 days, the bonus data might no longer be there.

          @scrypton: Activate and recharge on your chosen prepaid plan within 30 days of purchase to make sure you can get the benefits of that plan.

          That seems to be the case as they seem to have changed the wording slightly now.

          Within "The Details" it says:

          Activate and recharge on your chosen prepaid plan within 30 days of purchase to make sure you can get the benefits of that plan.

          I think they are just trying to clarify that if there are bonus data offers currently being advertised you should activate soon to get those bonuses as the $30 prepaid SIM doesn't inherently have any attached plan so if you activate it a year from now the available plans could be totally different.

    • gnv9 on 12/09/2016 - 13:26

      Have just checked this with Online Chat - their exact words:

      "Basically, this is with promotions offered along with the SIM pack. Once you purchase the new SIM, you will need to activate it within 30 days for you to receive any promotional offer and in your case, the additional bonus data.".

      Thanks for raising this and to the others who commented. Post updated.
