          I'm also getting the DNS error. I tried three times. Different browsers and once using the personal hotspot from my phone. My unique circumstances are below (let me know if you are the same for any of them):
          1. I am currently with Optus prepaid and trying to port my number so that may be causing the problem?
          2. I am choosing Samsung S7 Black on $65 plan (reduced to $48.75) - maybe its out of stock?

    S7 included bonus Gear Fit2 I believe.

    Bit of a no brainier that this is a deal as is, but as a suggestion for possible bargains to outline, the above seem really cheap.

        • RogueWolf on 01/03/2017 - 21:34

          not sure but id assume you would lose it after 12, by then other good deals will be around, but likely not as good as 12gb for $30

      Are you using Google DNS servers? If yes, try changing your DNS servers back to default and closing your browser and opening it again. This worked for me.

          The last time one of the discounted 12mo sims only plans came up with 'New Customers Only', the online staff were able to port me to prepaid before putting me on contract for the plan

          Do you have any experience with this?

          The my accounts page or this https://www.optus.com.au/changeplanmobile / https://offer.optus.com.au/mobilerpc/ do have the options but it seems to me that it's best to speak to a customer service rep online as they do it for free and quickly on their end

          andrgram seems to have had success with the online chat rep

  • geoffs87 on 01/03/2017 - 21:19
    +2

    Quick question, there seems to be conflicting information (unless i'm not reading it correctly). Suggests you get 25% off for 12 months (or 24 months). However, further in the T&C's it states: will remain on your service until you recontract, change to an ineligible plan or cancel your plan.

    Does the latter mean the price you are eligible for (ie $30 for a $40 sim only plan) lasts until you change your plan etc? Or after 12 months it reverts to $40?

      • geoffs87 on 02/03/2017 - 10:03

        yeah i spoke with their online chat last night… seems like the former is true, not the latter.

        They said that the second statement suggests if changes are made mid contract, you lose the discount, however if you stay on that contract, at the end of the 12 or 24 months, you lose the discount :(

  • Ryk on 01/03/2017 - 21:21

  • C0mbat on 01/03/2017 - 21:36

    So from what I can gather, I can add a service to my existing account and it will get the discount as it's a new service?

    Furthermore, is there anyway of signing up now and banking the value/subsidy of the phone to use when the Samsung S8 comes out?

    • Employeeamsaini15 @ Optus Accessories on 01/03/2017 - 21:38

      No. Dont think so mate. You sign up now and chose handset. Cant wait for future handset launch.

      • C0mbat on 01/03/2017 - 21:41

        Alternatively, could I sign a sim free 24 mth contract now and upgrade at the end of April to a contract that has a phone subsidy to get the S8 and still get the discount off the new plan?

        • Employeeamsaini15 @ Optus Accessories on 01/03/2017 - 21:42

          How can you sign with sim free? This deal is for mobile sim with or without handset.

          @amsaini15:

          Sorry, I meant sim only. Sign up to sim O ly on the lowest value plan and then upgrade at the end of April and get the discount on a new plan that includes a subsidy towards the S8?

        • starburstyellow on 01/03/2017 - 22:15

          @carleast: nice try with the double dip. Don't think re contracting works that way. When you sign up for the new plan in April, you will be put to a new plan. I Luled @ subsidy.

          @starburstyellow:
          [@amsaini15]

          How about this then? It says that you need to activate before 30th April. I'm guessing that means that you can sit on your sim until then and not get charged? How about you sit on the sim until then, call customer services and change your plan to one that includes a phone? That way it's a change of mind.

    Evening Optus reps, I've just taken the plunge and signed up for the $40 online sim only plan Sunday (26/2). The service isn't yet active as I'm currently waiting for a sim to be sent through in the mail (apparently there are delays / backlogs with this process). Any recommendations / assistance as to how I can have this F&F 25% discount retrospectively applied to my account? Noting that the service isn't yet active. Thanks.

    Wonder if Telstra will copy this deal this or next week…

    That said, $48.75 for an S7 with 7GB of data is shockingly good value from Optus!

    I'm currently with Amaysim on their 3GB $29.90 BYO plan on my main mobile and a $10 1GB data plan so have been looking for a while now for a suitable data sharing pack. If I go with the above plan, can I get a data share sim using my existing 1GB data plan number? Else cheapest mobile broadband plan with data sharing is $15/month…

  • bargain_knight on 01/03/2017 - 23:52

  • dresh on 01/03/2017 - 23:57

    These are some great deals, especially the s7 one! I've got a sim only plan until july though, quite tempted to get out of it, change carrier and then come back to Optus with this offer. Is this going to last for a while?
