Check out these plans https://www.jeenee.org.au/products/data-sims/ https://www.jeenee.org.au/products/sim-packs/ on Optus 4G network. Unless you are after long expiry. There have been some good Vodafone plans with generous data and low price.
I actually meant, more that if I want the Optus plan, how can I save money off the initial month?
officially no, as it's prepaid vs postpaid.
there's a small chance you could find an obliging customer rep who will give you the equivilent credit.
@supabrudda: Ahh makes sense, ok.
I'll keep my eye out, I kinda wanna do prepaid for her for a month or two, just to see if she's happy with the signal quality.
Cheers
@hamwhisperer:
Optus prepaid sims are often available at half price or less during sales. You can also try out the $1 Kogan prepaid sim linked in a comment below.
Good call on trying out prepaid first, it is usually a bad idea to commit to a 12 month contract from the get go.
You can start by getting Kogan Mobile for $1. Comes with unlimited calls, unlimited sms and 14 GB data, for 30 days.
More on kogan's prepaid offer here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/293705
The extra large prepaid option is equivalent to $30.49 for 14GB per month if you pay for a year upfront. Kogan uses the Vodafone network and they will even deliver a trifit sim to your doorstep for free. Both locks you in for 12 months, and imo the Kogan plan offers far better value than Optus' offer of $40 for 10GB per month.
Hey bill, do you know if it's possible for me to activate a new kogan sim I already have which has no credit, then but this $1 voucher and topup?
Yes, I've doing it for two months now. Just activate a new kogan sim with the $1 voucher.
@billevans: thanks mate, it worked just did it
Voda PAYG Plus is 10 bucks for a year. Aldi is 15 for a year.
You can actually get Aldi for $5 a year. $5 starter pack in store gets you PAYG with one year expiery.
not bad
Good call, I'd recommend Aldi - good service at a great price.
The really great thing about Aldi is that you can stick with PAYG with 365 day expiry and buy value packs from $15-$45/month which can be changed on month-month basis according to your expected useage. I personally save a fortune as I travel overseas frequently (roaming is available but I only use it for receiving SMS and keeping my iOS iMessage/FaceTime services alive) I buy the pack when home and mix and match according to my demand. When I am away, the charges are zero.
amaysim is $10 per year.
Anaheim on postpaid as you go is indefinite.
Amaysim had 90 day expiry on PAYG last time I checked
Your info is out of date, it's 365 days now. Source: I'm with Amaysim.
But I endorse the Aldimobile recommendations too.
$40 prepaid starter kit (includes $40 credits) is on special until 04/04 for only $20.
I have Aldi it's the way to go for the gps
Thanks Op!
Absolutely HORRIBLE suggestion.
Aldi mobile PAYG is 80% cheaper and comes with 365 day expiry plus runs on Telstra's wholesale network.
I see that most of the comments already here agree with what I'm saying but just thought I would spell out all the reasons why Aldi is far superior to the posted offer
What are their ongoing data costs.
Calls 12c per min
SMS 12c each
Data 5c per MB (measured per KB)
Absolutely agree. Well said!
Optus have now extended this offer until 5 June.
Partially on topic, hijack. (I voted up to say sorry!)
I have a friend moving to Australia who needs a phone plan, I'm thinking of the 10GB Optus one, is there a way I can sign her up to this cheap?
Like can I buy a pre-paid $30 card for $10 or something (one of those cool deals?) and somehow use the $30 of credit against that specific plan?
How can I save a little bit more? Long term I'm guessing she'll be sticking with this one.

Unless someone knows an 8GB or higher plan in the $30 range.
