  • Does anyone know whether you can port existing Optus number from previous prepaid plan??

    • porting is possible as long as simcard is active , however also speak with optus customer service for further clarification

  • Stupid question….If I am going to port over a vodafone number to optus, do I need to let vodaphone know or will I just receive a final bill from them.

    • Optus will handle everything for you. :)

    Question…

    Regarding this 25% discount will be applied from your second bill and will remain on your service until you recontract

    So if I order the Galaxy S7 on the $48.75 /month plan. How is this going to work out to be $1170 over 24 months, as the first month fees would $65 without 25% discount?

    So total over 24 months would be = $1186.25?

    • +1

      Someone in a previous comment wrote that an Optus online chat consultant confirmed the second bill will contain the discount for months 1 and 2. So your second bill should be 50% off.

      • My first bill has just come in at $70 including $5 left over from the previous month to month pro rata.
        Does this mean my next bill will be $48.75 or around $27.50 with the discount taken off for month 1?

  • I'm current with Optus post paid plan, and my contract expires in a month time. Can I still get this offer?

      • Ahhhh I thought for extensions too. My contract runs out tomorrow, how should I go about getting this deal and keeping my number?

        • +1

          Just change to Optus prepaid, wait a few days and then sign up to the Friends & family plan, online.

    • i have heard my friends porting from optus postpaid to vodafone prepaid plans and port it back to optus to get this offer

      if you need a link send me a private message thanks

  • Anyone had experience with coverage in regional VIC???. I'm a long time telstra user and ready for new /phone contract. Telstra just aren't coming to the party with any deals for me after numerous attempts. This seems perfect timing for me…just worried about coverage……….

    • Why don't u call Optus ask whether they have good good coverage in regional vic they should have a map that u can refer too

    • check out this comment:

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4505225/redir

      anyhow I've ported out to a $2 telstra sim which completed in the morning ~13th March and I'm trying once each day and got the number not eligible dialogue still.

    • just continuing on from my previous reply, around ~4 days was able to put through my order today

      • Thanks but was hoping to have someone who has actually had the service activated

          Extreme on 10/03/2017 - 08:00

          So.

          On Sunday 5/3 I ported from my old Optus deal to Telstra prepaid.

          Signed up as a new service for the $40 plan as a new number.
          Got a call on Wednesday morning confirming the order. They asked wether it was for a new number or was I bringing my old number. I said I wanted to port in my old number. Was put in the system. Order processed. SIM card posted out that day.

          About 530pm yesterday afternoon, my Telstra SIM lost reception/went to SOS only. Got home, SIM card in the mail box, put in the phone. Port had been completed successfully.

          4 days with not making calls/data with no credit on Telstra was painful, but it was fairly quick.

    • I was on a 12 month sim only plan with optus, ported out to vodafone for a day, then signed up and my new phone came about 4 days later :)

  • Hi All,

    If anyone is interested to sign up, please use this link.

    https://offer.optus.com.au/employeeadvantage/offer/?in=OPTUS…

    It still has all 10 discounts available!

    Thanks.

  • Thanks for sharing :)

    I'm with Voda at the moment, and want to swap over to Optus. My monthly billing cycle with voda has just begun if I sign up to Optus and get my number ported will I still have to pay for the month with voda or will it be charged pro-rata?

  • If we are on optus postpaid sim only, can we move to the phone plan without porting?

    • You cant mate, unless you port out to a carrier on a free sim offer then port back in. I couldnt be bothered with all this s**t so just got a new number.

  • Hi All
    I am back with another code. Please send me private message if you need any help with the order.

    Enjoy !

  • OK, so tomorrow my contract with Optus finally expires. Been waiting eagerly for the last 3 weeks :D
    I just read it's for new customers only. I thought I could just extend with this deal too. Bummer.

    Can someone please tell me how I can still get the 25% off and keep my number? If it's possible at all ofcourse.
    If I cancel my subscription tomorrow and set up a new account, I will lose my number? I have had this number for a decade and would hate to lose it.

    EDIT I did try to get through to the live chat this afternoon, but kept getting disconnected. I don't think I can contact support on the weekend.

    • There is only one option. Port to either optus prepaid. Chat with optus and tell them you would like to go prepaid. Wait 5-7 days and once your number is off their postpaid list sign up to this offer.

      Can also post to another provider sic as voda and wait few days and sign up back into this plan.

    • Time is running for you. You better hurry up :)

      • Thank you, all done. Went faster than I expected. Just wished I didn't have to go the long way round. The switching from postpaid to prepaid was troublesome. Yet going back to postpaid went smoothly. At least I've kept the same Sim card and phone number.

        Got the S7 today, but no gear fit :o(
        Not sure if that will still be sent…….

        • +1

          I am happy for you :). Not sure about the gear fit deal.

  • Hey All,

    I've still got 3 offers available @ https://offer.optus.com.au/employeeadvantage/offer/?in=OPTUS…

    Cheers :)

  • New ti this so I'm not sure!
    Enticing deal but basically I am not able to keep my number if I port from Boost Mobile?
    *EDIT - Disregard this question, got my answer

    Thanks to all the Optus employees who are posting their discount links. Thanks for the $ savings.

    Placed order online on 5th of March for $40 SIM Only (Hopefully will be $30), got phone call the following Monday to confirm the order and authorization credit check, however my order remained in limbo until Thursday 9th when I contacted Optus by live chat to give me a proper order number. SIM card got shipped Monday 13th and received it on Friday.

    My $40 SIM Only port from Amaysim As-You-Go got completed yesterday after I gave Optus a call when I received my sim card. I called them on Amaysim, phone dropped out, put in Optus SIM, rebooted phone and now on Optus proper, pulled a 70/50 mbit Speedtest over 4G on my Nexus 5. Now to enjoy the unlimited Spotify, Play Music & iheartradio while away from Wi-Fi.

    However on the MyOptus app it's only showing that I have 8GB of Data when it should be 10/12GB. Does anyone know when the bonus data will kick in on my account. Also will have to talk to Optus if the 25% discount does not show up on my second bill as my contract only shows $40 per month & 8GB of data.

    • +1

      T&C You get free data after the second month. However, some people have been calling Optus and get extra data added the first month

    • did you get a new handset to? for $5 more u can

    Some answers:
    - YES, you can claim the 20$ discount on your broadband. I did this 3 months ago when I added the broadband (early january).
    - NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY. You can actually port out and port back into Optus but it will take a few days.

  • i just signed up for a s7 plan. will i get my phone in time to claim for the gear fit 2?

  • Can I port 3x of my numbers using this deal? I'd like to take 1x phone plan and 2x sim only plans.

    • yes you can. You may need 3 links to place 3 separate orders.

      • Thanks!

          I have sent you private message with the link to use. I will help you out if you need any help. Thanks

        • @amsaini15: Hi, Amsaini15, I am having trouble signing up with optus prepaid too. Are you also able to send me the link to use? many thanks

  • Hi Guys,

    Just wanted to share this discount with OzBargainers. Got this working link from my friend just now.

    https://offer.optus.com.au/employeeadvantage/offer/?in=OPTUS…

    Good luck and enjoy the 25% promo. Would be good if OP can add this fresh link to the 1st page.

  • Does anyone know why the s7 went up in price? I swear it was 48.75 a month before??

    • Did it go up by $5 handset repayments?

      I swear it was $48.75 about an hour ago….

      • Yea it seems like it but on their main website its still $65 dollars with no phone repayments. So mad

        • their live chat were completely useless; told me to call up during business hours

        • @dajackal: sigh I was waiting because my contract ends like in a day so was planning to either port out or bridge it :(

    • i know even the iphone 7 plus that I'm looking at did go up from $28 to $38 on handsets repayment bloody annoying.

  • optus just updated their s7 plan with a $5 phone repayment. .ported to prepaid 1 week ago and number still unavailable and now they changed the cost.

  • I cant believe the price of some phones have gone up! I signed up on the weekend to the s7 plan when it was $0 repayments and I have a temporary order number. I havent received a proper order number yet though. Will I still receive my plan with $0 repayments as that's what it was when I put the order through and the temporary email says $0 repayments too.

    • +1

      same here, been waiting. Disappointed as we have hundreds of Optus employees here but no one gives a head up on the price increase.

    • +1

      As there anything you can help us with in regards to some of the phones increasing in price?

      • Unfortunately not, sorry mate!

  • Another link to this Great Offer!!

    Hurry before it runs out!
