          @na8an: I read their T&C and FAQ and could not find any mention of this online. Can you try speaking to a different person?

          If they allow it, I want to get a Tabpro S which is normally $65 pm.

    The Terms and conditions say it's not eligible to recontracting or existing customers, I guess that means people out of contracting or looking to renew won't get the 25% off. You could add a new service and get a new phone number, and maybe there is some magic that Optus will allow to transfer an out of contract number to the new service - I'm not sure, only Optus can tell you.

    I just got off Optus plan a month ago and moved to Aldi which is on Telstra network. Much better than Optus network while using on Westbound trains from Sydney CBD.

    I guess Optus is trying to load more people on a crap network to make it even more crappier :P

    Great pricing but no point in my case if you can't use the data!

    If your are with optus and not on contracts just port out using the $2 sim. I'm sure many of us have free voda or telstra prepaid laying around.

    • tim_geo on 28/05/2017 - 14:48

      Keep in mind they charge a port out fee, I think $8? Probably worth it, but I find these fees quite hidden.

      if you been declined in the last 3 months it will auto decline

    • froggym on 27/05/2017 - 09:55

      If you were declined online then try again in store. They might be able to help out.

      • AssociatedKaraxela @ Optus Accessories on 27/05/2017 - 10:50

        It will auto decline in store. The reps can try check with the credit review team for peace of mind that it was not an error (such as inconsistency of details picked up on ID) .. but certainly they won't be able to revoke the decision if it was based on the credit criteria.

        • froggym on 27/05/2017 - 13:04

          Oh yea. When mine declined it was an error on optus part. Their system thought that I had left an account with money owing when it was actually in slight credit. The store rep contacted the credit people and sorted it for me. Getting credit approved for the phone plan though shouldn't really be that hard, I was working as a casual for two months when mine was approved. There is a chance that there is an error if you really can't think of a reason for it to be denied.

          Same with another poster as soon as you see your acct switched to prepaid in your "my accounts" then the optus guys can do their thing.

          I signed up for the s8 15gb

          hey, Ronney, just wondering how long your port to prepaid took? I am going to do it today.

        • Ronney on 20/06/2017 - 20:41

          @edshays: overnight. Also once it was converted to pre paid, the connection stays active for a day without a recharge. I got on a chat and got on this offer immediately. That way I didn't have to do a $10 recharge.

        • edshays on 21/06/2017 - 08:11

          @Ronney:

          Cool, thanks. I ported my wife and my numbers to pre-paid yesterday morning. cut over to prepaid in the evening. Signed up for deals. My wife's cut back over to new post-paid deal last night. I am still waiting for mine though. Hopefully in the next few hours.

          Thanks

          All good, thanks. Had to pester Optus chat a few times to get mine sorted. They eventually revealed on second chat session that they need me to submit ID (which doesn't make sense as my wifes went through fine under the same account). Anyway, all sorted after submitting passport scan.

    so how does this work. im with jeenee right now and wanna go on the 7gb S8 plan ($60?) it says only when you add a service to an existing account? https://offer.optus.com.au/samsungbonusdata

    • Associatedsteinmeister @ Optus Accessories on 27/05/2017 - 12:40
      +1

      That's a different deal, specific to second services on one (Optus) account. i.e. you've got a contract already and your partner/kid/whatever wants to get a contract on the same account… this deal is different, new customers only. I'm pretty sure that even though Jenee is on the Optus network it should still count as a new account (hence 25% discount). But you won't be able to get that S8 +15GB deal.

    • BuyNow Think Later on 27/05/2017 - 13:09

    Has anyone had luck with asking optus if you can port out to another carrier then sign up for the deal?
    The deal clearly states that recontracting customers are eligible, but the optus reps I've chatted with are saying its not possible.
    Cheers

    • adrian2093 on 30/05/2017 - 12:15

      They told me on live chat you can only start up a new service, so add a new number to the same contact… and pay both
      I think if you are out of contact and port out, then port back in with this offer it should work fine, or if you are coming from pre paid

    • Associatedhasher22 @ Optus Accessories on 02/06/2017 - 00:57

      Where does it state that recontracting customers are eligible? This is purely for new customers wanting a new number or porting in or customers that are coming from Optus prepaid to postpaid.

      I double checked the link, no where does it state this offer can be for "recontracting" customers.

      • goomsy on 02/06/2017 - 11:40

        Check out my reply below

    • Associatedhasher22 @ Optus Accessories on 02/06/2017 - 00:50

      You won't get a 'receipt' per say on the contract or the CIS document as the discount is a complimentary offer on top of the selection.

      The sales rep in-store had to check the code if it's good to use, then apply the code after the contract was made. You should get an SMS soon on both numbers that the discount should be applied to your numbers.

      If not, go to ANY store, give them the ref. code you used and they will double check if the ref. code has been applied to both of your numbers.

    On investigation, these people skipped the queue
    code=W4KUCR
    code=S11Q95

      Fixed. We are banning top posters from further wiki editing.

      As before, we get an email every time a change is made to any wiki page. However, with 388 emails so far, the auditing may lag a bit while we catch up.
