  • Another fresh link for everyone :)

    Hope you enjoy using optus perks deals such as cheaper movie tickets as much as me !

  • Is there a way to port out of Optus without copping the cancellation fees? and port back in?

    I'm currently with an Optus BYO plan and can't sign up :(

  • Employee of Optus here feel free to use my link - https://offer.optus.com.au/employeeadvantage/offer/?in=OPTUS…

  • This deal is so tempting but have only recently signed up for the vaya annual plan. Can anyone tell me if the S7 is locked, will it work with a vaya sim card? Also how long does it take to receive the phone? I am going on holidays next Wednesday and would like to use the phone as a camera. Thanks.

    • Phone is unlocked

      How long it takes to deliver seems arbitrary. I ordered a black S7 on the $48 contract for my wife on the 4th of March and they cannot give me an update of where the order is up to. But some ordered after have received it already.

      • Great, thank you.

  • I signed up 2 phones for the sim deal nine days ago and got the temporary order acknowledgement emails but have heard nothing since. Should I get worried and contact Optus?

    • Yes, please contact Optus and they'll provide you an update.

    • +1

      Lucky I called as it appears this had slipped through the cracks. After about 40 minutes on the phone hopefully it is all sorted. Guess I won't know until the first bills show up. Now let's hope Vaya play nice porting out.

  • Hey guys,

    Here's my link if anyone needs

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

  • Is there anyway to do this for existing optus mobile postpaid customers? I am on the last month of a 12 month postpaid contract with them and was hoping to make use of it

    • +2

      People in this post are porting out to Optus prepaid or other carrier and then port back in using the offer.
      No other way unfortunately.

      Please send me private message if you need a link. Thanks

  • Hi, I signed up the sim plan this morning about 9 am and never heard anything since. Is it normal?

    • +1

      Hey mate ..Yes it is normal. Just give couple of days and you should receive a temporary number.

      • Ok thank you

    Hi Everybody,

    If anyone is still looking to sign up, i have 6 discounts left!

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

    Thanks.

    I recently signed up with the Optus Galaxy S7 Deal + Gear Fit2 for $65 +$5 Handset deal for 24 months..

    THEN I saw this deal!

    It's the same handset and plan deal, but with the 25% discount, it goes from $70p/m down to $48p/m also, from $5 down to $0 handset fee each month.

    That is a massive discount to simply ignore each month.

    Anyway, I tortured myself for not waiting those extra few days then I remembered Optus has a 30 day cooling down period… So yeah, you can guess what happened next.

    I applied and surprisingly got approved for the 25% discounted plan, and the new S7 is being delivered in the morning.

    I am going to cancel the current $70 plan, pay the first access bill as stated and activate and use the new $48p/m plan.

    Now, I have already claimed the Gear Fit 2, and obviously, with the new S7 coming I can redeem another, but I will have to take a look at Samsung's terms. Optus website states that redemptions have nothing to do with them, so I had a quick scout on Samsung's redemption terms, but I can't see anything stating about cancelling a plan. Will have to look again when i am not so tired.

    I already have an S2 'Sports' and an S2 'Classic' Gear, so the Fit Bit 2's don't phase me other than to either pay toward outright price for the first Galaxy S7 and gifting that to my partner as he is still on an S6 edge until he can upgrade to the S8, which I will probably get the S7 back then and can sell that off and get an S3 Frontier Watch.

    Then again, I could send the phone back, sell those 2 Fit Bits with the S2 Classic watch and buy the S3 Frontier, which is on sale for $390 at the moment and have money left over for the original first bill and the secondary first bill, and a lunch or something.

    Anyway, I went on a tangent there, sorry.

    • +3

      be more considerate for the next person who might receive your phone. So please don't claim a gearfit for a phone which you will return.

    • I saw the comment reply below awhile ago but didn't bother replying until today;

      but I think claiming the additional gear fit will be 'victimless' given that the promo ends 27 Mar and largely depends on what Optus does with opened/used handsets (apparently you have to screenshot the IMEI via the phone - unless you can do a mockup of the IMEI onto an existing screenshot that you have on hand - do they reseal it? etc), and IF there is another planned promotion that will start as soon as the offer ends.

    • And another:

    • Hi,
      I tried your link and got a an unexpected error occurred message.
      Can you help me out?

      • Try another link (loads of them in description/main link) or change your information slightly when submitting.

  • Here's a new link for the 25% offer.

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

    10 Available!

    • Hi, can you PM me? I can't pm u. Interested to use ur link but i have question regarding the contract. Can I take up the offer now but activate it 30 days later? From my past experience Optus just automatically activate it once the sim was sent. I had a 2 hours online chat to sort thing out like that in past. Thanks

      • You can use any of the links in the description of the deal or the main link. I would suggest asking your question in the comments here or PMing some of the useful reps who have helped in previous pages.

        This question/issue has been asked many times. The answer is technically yes but as you said it take a call or chat to ensure they activate it at a later time.

        • Thank you. Appreciate it

  • For those who are stuck in limbo with a temporary order number, I placed an order last Saturday and did not receive any temporary order confirmations. Just got off a phone call with Optus (1300 929 949) to confirm my details and obtained a order number.

    • I placed an order today, and received a temporary order number…

      SO WHAT'S NEXT?
      It will take up to 48 hours before we'll send you an order confirmation email that you can use to track your order.

      I hope it will arrive soon… because I need a new mobile plan before the weekend!

      • +1

        Here's what happened with a black S7 order:

        4 March - Ordered in the evening with temp order number

        5 March - Received a proper order tracking number

        9-10 March - Contacted a couple of times last week, just kept saying to wait due to backlog of orders, or unsure what's happening (was once told mismatch of DOB between current provider and Optus, and then was told there wasn't an issue)

        14 March - Contacted online chat again today, was told the phone will be delivered by the end of this week

        All up would have taken 2 weeks for the delivery… if it does get delivered this week.

        • I'm just looking for a sim card… so hopefully that will be processed a bit faster?

        • It came on the 16th March and was automatically ported once received.

    • Hi,

      I tried your link and got an "an unexpected error occurred" message.
      Can you help me out?

  • Here's another link for this awesome deal :D

  • Any idea roughly how long before i can sign up to this after changing from postpaid to prepaid. It's been 24 hours since and is still saying i can't sign up using that number.

    • Changed to prepaid on the 7th, I managed to apply yesterday

      • +1

        I am really hoping that is not the case. 7 days is ridiculous.

        • this promo runs until the end of the month so you still have plenty of time =)

        • I changed mine on the 11th March, and until today (14th) still not eligible to sign up. 3 days and counting now…. prepaid sucks big time

        • @dblade123:

          Dont give up buddy :) 25% is calling you ..

        • I ported to Telstra on the 11th and it is not letting me yet.

        • @rison:

          I was just able to apply today! If you did yours on the 11th like me, try now, it should work!

        • @dblade123:

          Yep mine worked today too! Now the wait continues to see how long for the order to go through

    • Shouldn't take longer than 24 hours. You can always walk into an Optus shop for them to check the status on your account but sadly they can't help you register for this offer in store. I suspect it may take longer if a lot of people are trying to do this.

  • +1

    I got thwarted order number 2 days after the temp order number

    But the contract mentioned full price of $120 per month while it should read 90$ per month and it is mentioned as recurring monthly payment

    25% off is not mentioned anywhere in the contact

    Any idea before I speak to Optus customer care ?

    • Neither my contract or CIS stated a 25% discount. Calling the optus rep did confirm that it was indeed applied to my account, however I might give them a call to confirm again once I have it activated

    • wait for the bill before you contact them as the 25% discount will be applied on the 2nd bill plus i don't think they've changed their T&C's just for this promotion hence we will all be getting a standard contract like signing up for the full price.

    • Same situation for me, i signed up for S7 Edge + 85 contract = discounted rate 63.75 per month. Official contract shows 85 per month. I Spoke with someone on C.Care and they couldnt guarantee me until service is active, they also said there will be cancellation fee if somehow this offer does NOT work on second month which is likely to be the 24 month contract cost which is a concern !!!! Hopefully some peeps will confirm this offer is all good after 2nd bill received.

      *** If any optus guys can help here that would be good ***

      • +1

        Yes, the discount will be reflected by the 2nd bill.

        Thanks

        • Will that discount on second bill show the discount for 1st month too?

        • @jrt2020:
          Yes it should.

  • can we share our data using optus data pool with a "Prepaid plan"?

    • i dont think so u can share data with a prepaid plan however check with optus customer centre for further clarification

  • Still 8 available up for grab

  • I would've jumped onto this but currently I am already receiving the $20 discount for having Optus Broadband when I purchased the 10GB SIM Only deal for $35/pm end of last year during Click Frenzy.

  • +1

    Brilliant, thank you for posting, got the iPhone 7 on a "$85" plan with John's Link. After selling the iPhone and salary sacrificing the remainder, I'm paying $5.50 for 10gb / unlimited calls and 300 min of international calls for 2 years. Only catch is I can't cancel or get fired otherwise I'll have it make it up!

  • +1

    WOW - i ordered my S7 Edge on a new connection yesterday and its on board with driver TODAY, i couldnt be bothered with hassle of porting as im already on optus sim only plan. If anyone is still having major delays, lets hope its fixed up now, either that or I am just VERY LUCKY !!!

    • +2

      OPTUS SENT ME THE WRONG PHONE - AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Im on the same boat, placed an order for an edge yesterday only to find out it was a regular s7 last night after it was shipped out. Ended up refusing the delivery today and now its just a waiting game…

        • +4

          Mate, I opened the f***** box thinking it was the edge….. I spoke to a few muppets today before i eventually spoke to someone helpful, they are couriering out a new Edge to do a swap… If you have any hassle, PM me i have a name and number for sales support - who actually help you out !!!!

  • I wonder how this will impact the Optus network? Obviously there's a metric buttload of new subscribers…

    Are they basically setting themselves up for their own version of #vodafail?

    • Optus has invested over a Billion in their network over the last year.

      Can't comment on Voda, but Optus are constantly working to improve coverage with big $$ investment.

  • I am trying to redeem the Gear Fit 2 offer.
    I don't seem to have any paperwork that shows the IMEI number.

    Samsung's T&C on the offer require it.
    e) "Proof of Purchase" means either:
    i. a tax invoice clearly stating the name and model of the Participating Product, the Participating Retailer (including the relevant store details) from which the Participating Product was Purchased, the price paid for the Participating Product, and the time and date of Purchase; or
    ii. a binding contract, lease, payment plan or welcome letter in relation to a mobile phone plan from a telecommunications company, telecommunications service provider, or telecommunications operator, (a Telco) or retailer, clearly showing:
    A. the claimant's name;
    B. the name, model and IMEI of the Participating Product;
    C. the name of the Telco or retailer from which the Participating Product was Purchased;
    D. the terms of the contract or lease; and
    E. the time and date of Purchase;

    What did people use as "Proof of Purchase" ?

    • Optus sent me an invoice with the phone, use that to claim should be fine

      • Thanks - Yes just checked the printed stuff- there is a Proof of Purchase doc in there - silly me I was only looking at the pdf they sent. Cheers.

  • Hi Guys,

    Last 2 weeks remaining, here's a fresh link if you like to avail.

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

  • Hi,

    Here is a brand new link if anyone is still interested:

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

  • I got mine and im good to go wooo!

  • I just got screwed by Optus.
    I ordered the sim only $40 deal.
    I got the msm saying it was going through and to complete the port go to the link provided.
    I still hadn't received any Optus sim card so I got on live chat to make sure they delayed the port until after my virgin contract was over in 5 weeks. They said bad luck, too late it is already going through.
    After a trip to an Optus store for a new sim card and much messing about on Optus live chat my service is now active.
    It will cost me a $120 early exit fee from Virgin negating all the savings through this deal, a lot of frustration and regret changing to Optus. Also an hour round trip to an Optus store including parking fees.
    When asked if they could credit the account $60 to cover the service part of the early exit fee they said flat out no.
    The live chat operator even said they experience the occasional hiccup with porting. It's one very expensive hiccup. At least it's only a 12 month contract.

    • I was also on the same boat.. I asked them to delay port so I could finish my current month, they said I had to 30 days to port in but got auto ported a week after I got my SIM.

  • here is another link to this great offer!!!!
