    • Finished at 5pm. I missed it too. Didn't take enough notice and expected midnight

      • At 12pm AEST/1pm AEDT, it said 10 hours left…

  • The only thing that concerns me is updates. Will the updates be severely delayed even more through Optus? As opposed to a generic S8 through Hardly Normal?

  • Just wondering if this is the norm, was on optus prepaid, ordered a new phone and new plan, nothing has left the warehouse yet (as per online tracking) but the new sim is active. The particular sim I was using for prepaid is in a phone which is at home, I’m assuming because it’s now active that it must mean I can use the existing sim. Can’t check for sure until I get home. Would have thought seeing as it’s a new plan and phone that I should have at least the phone in my hands before it’s activated. Will see how long it takes for me to get the new phone as I’m thinking of selling it anyway.

  • hey, OP

    I got a problem. After I applied online, they confirmed it today and told me that 30$ plan is going to cost me 360$ in future instead of 270$ for 25% discount. Now I don't wanna this contract. How can I do about it?
    thanks

    • Lodge a complain, then if that doesn't work, complain to the TIO…

      • thanks for your reply.

    • Did you get an email when you originally applied?

      • The first email says a discount price will show on second bill. but second email shows I am on a full price plan. a bit confuse now. Just waiting for future bill…

  • Does anyone know how to get the one off $5 data share sim stated under the FAQ?
    Is there a cost to set up a mobile broadband device to share data with a new My Plan Plus mobile plan?
    Yes there is a one-off set up fee of $5 per mobile broadband device, with no ongoing cost. The set-up fee will also be charged if you have an existing Optus mobile broadband plan and want to change to the Shared Data Plan.

  • Does the discount applied on second bill also include the discount on the initial bill?

    • hey, I got same problem. did you receive two email? one tells full price of the plan. another email tells discount prices will show on second bill.

      • +1

        Yeah, the only place that the discount is noted for me is in the temporary order email.

        I did call them when I received second email which had the contract details attached (no ref to the discount) but they said it'll be fine and will be applied on the second bill.

        Guess just have to wait and see. I'm sure it's all good and im just being paranoid due to years of optus disappointment.

        • thanks for your reply. I got same answer from optus lately. hope we can get a smooth transaction.

  • +1

    Not happy Optus. My 2nd bill has come through for the S7 at $65, Should be $48.75… I knew this would happen, typical Optus stuff up!

    • Damn. My fear coming true.

      Let us know what they say after contacting them.

      • My Order went through fine as an existing out of contract customer at the $48.75 with confirmation email.
        Now they are saying I don't qualify.
        Well I'm not paying the $65 per month so I'm not sure where I stand…. any Optus reps care to help?

        • WTF, it's a robber. if you are not qualified, should be notice first. what you gonna to do? I got same worries, waiting my bills.

        • What ended up happening? Did you get the discount in the end?

        • @rmk: I was an existing customer but my order went through the Optus system.
          I ended up making a claim with the TIO and won!

          Cheers

    • My 1 bill has everything combined and the discount is fine and applied

      first items:

      8.71 paid for the previous bill; the rest make up the $29.99CR per month (the amount paid in advance on my previous $30 plan)

      7.27 port out fee (ported to a telstra sim)

      59.09 (65 with GST) in advance

      $12.96 - 22 Mar to 03 Apr My Plan Plus UNL mins
      $11.82 - 22 Mar to 03 Apr My Plan Plus 7GB
      24.78 total (27.26 with GST - pro-rata'ed for current usage)

      $40.91 - 04 Apr to 03 May Samsg GS7 BL (23 remain)
      $40.91CR - Less Handset Credit

      less 25% access discount 14.77 (16.25 with GST) discount line over here

      did a month-to-month $50 sim to preserve my data sharing sims - charged about 40.32 for this, should've cancelled this sooner.

      • I was wondering if you can shed some light here, in the 2nd email received for the order subject titled "yourname, here's all you need to know", the link to download your Contract and Critical Information Summary, is discount listed in the Customer Authority Form?

  • My bill 2nd came in with $48.75 though they are now denying the $20 bundle bonus after I confirmed on the phone twice that it would be credited.

    • Did your original email confirmation have the discount on it?

  • my S8 arrived today, thanks OP - what a deal

  • 1st bill $65
    2nd bill $48.75

    I was under the impression that the 2nd bill will also include the discount for the 1st.

    Otherwise.. how is the minimum cost over 24 months be $1170 as advertised?

  • Month 2 began today, I was supposed to get extra data from today but it's still 3.5GB. Does it come through immediately?

    • Mines still not displaying either. Reps from the online chat and on the phone basically told me to assume that I have the 2gb bonus data use and that they'll waiver any additional fees as a result.

      • Just got an SMS saying the data has just been added! I hadn't even used half of the 3.5gb yet though.

  • Anyone that was on Optus prepaid then went over to postpaid to take up this offer, have you received your second bill yet and did you receive the discount?

  • I was waiting for my second Bill to arrive to verify the discount but it doesn't look right. I've got the standard S7 on $65 plan.So they have charged me $70 on the first bill and charging $55 on my next bill.There's extra $5 charge for the handset and if I'm not mistaken it was supposed to be free.Could someone here confirm please?
    I'm very tempted to take it up to TIO could anyone please share some screenshot of the offer they had on the page??.Offer has been taken down from their site now.

    • You might have had the same problem that happened to me. I signed up when the handset was $0 but by the time they processed the order a few days later the repayments had gone up to $5 which is what they processed my plan at. I rang them up and they fixed it. The handset repayment for s7 went up to $5 on 20/3 so if you signed up before that and you have your temporary email order dated before then but they processed your order after the 20th maybe that's what happened?

      • Thanks for the response.My order was placed on 14/3 and email received on 16/03. I have tried their support through chat support and unfortunately all they did was tapped me on the head with the contract papers and clearly said that they are not going to honor it for me. I should Say what I heard from them.. Sorry you should have checked your paper work and its too late now.Thanks to them its cleared up :-)

        • On 14/3 it was definitely $0 handset repayments for the s7 on $65 plan. Does your temporary order email say $0 repayments?? If so they have to honour what that says when you ordered!
          Did they end up fixing it for you?

        • @cinnamon85:
          They did not and I am looking for any evidence to lodge complain formally to TIO . I ordered it on 14/03/17 and then I have an email from Optus on 16/03/17 "Information about your order" basically asking ID verification and then about the Plan on 22nd.In the order info it says "$65 My Plan Plus(TI Nov 16 GS7)" and Your device section it says "Samsg GS7 BL" no any specific handset charges there too.given this is just an individual incident I am not too sure but will see

        • @Er1282:
          If you got your plan email on 22nd it sounds like they processed it after the price went up on the 20th so thats probably why it went through at $5 which is what happened to me. If you ordered on the 14th you should have received a temporary order email when you ordered and that is the email where it says handset repayments are $0. Do you have that one? It has a temporary order number.
          If not they should be able to look up the date you ordered in the system and they have a record of when the price went up.

  • Edit

  • $160 100gb plan.. didnt know rhe 25% discount is from 2nd month only :(
    lucky 93GB used for the first month and went through 5 other sims 4 gb each, just a casual 120gb a month

  • Too late to get this now? :(

  • Has anyone had issues with originally purchasing through the link and then not having the discount applied ?

    • Haven't received my second bill yet so not sure.

      • apparantly first bill is "advanced charges" so it's not technically your first bill. First bill came in last couple of days for me, and second bill will be next month and that is when your discount will be applied.

        • This is what I was told as well. You should actually see the discount come into effect on the third bill. I was assured the extra paid would be refunded at the end of the contract

        • @UseMyLink: yep, they should really make it more clear
