SIM does not include recharge
$0 SIM offer ends 14/08/17. Limit 1 per customer.

Optus ships with Startrack. You can track the order by going to https://optus.startrack.com.au and put in your order number that shows up on confirmation or from the email they send you immediately after the order. This only works after it has been shipped. If you live in a metropolian area and place your order before 1pm, you will get it next day otherwise you will get the order 2 business days after the order. If you live in a regional area, it is an extra 1 to 3 days.

These SIM's are useful for registering for Optus Pay which gets you a free prepaid visa card useful for trials and whatnot.

    This is an awesome offer. Same as the promo last year which allows you to sign up for Optus perks and last year was epl as well.

      Sorry to sound ignorant, what kind of perks and what is EPL? Thanks

        English Premier League subscription.

        Check out the Optus Perks website https://www.optusperks.com.au/

        A favourite perk is discounted Hoyts movie tickets

        EPL is English Premier League - football in the UK. It's part of Optus' offering (at an extra cost I think)

    • Phoebus on 03/07/2017 - 11:35

      No EPL this year though, apparently.

      • Skinnerr on 03/07/2017 - 11:49

        Who has the EPL rights then?

        • hammerbug on 03/07/2017 - 17:12

          Still Optus, they signed Three years contract i believe.

        • [Deactivated] on 29/07/2017 - 21:17

          i had issues last time i try to get EPL, they said some bs which i forgot and didnt work for prepaid

    Be warned though - you can no longer activate $2 Optus SIMs without adding credit at the time of activation. You must recharge when using these SIMs.

      I just elected for the My Prepaid Long Expiry and just left it there. Works fine.

        whats the longest you can leave it (and take advantage of being a perks member), without topping up credit?

        • iNeedMoreMoney on 22/07/2017 - 20:39

          it says in the info pdf you must recharge before 188 days (in the Service Expiry section)

      • billy_bob on 03/07/2017 - 13:42

        Does that working for porting a number or new activation only? I tried porting to $2 optus sim temporarily so i could port back to Kogan for the $1 14GB sim offer, but all options required me to add credit to the account?

    • outlander on 06/07/2017 - 19:42

      That's not entirely accurate. Certainly they've made it harder, but it has to be still possibly because I activated one on the 25th

      • steveclassy2 on 17/07/2017 - 21:47

        What do you all do with these free SIM cards..?

    Awesome, free uber rides :)

    • Kunny on 03/07/2017 - 11:02

      How do you get free uber with this…?

          @slipperypete: Uber account tied to phone number. New phone number, new Uber account, can then use the myriad of first ride only vouchers.

          @eediot:

          Generally when someone goes whoooshhh it relates to missing the subtleties of a joke punchline which goes over their head…not an item of unknown knowledge

          Thanks eediot, appreciate you taking the time to explain

  • DemocracyManifest on 03/07/2017 - 08:15

    Yeah I noticed that, is there another way to activate them?

    Just wondering, is the mobile number required on registration just for contact purposes (rather than porting)?

    • yeohkt on 03/07/2017 - 09:17

      Good questions…

    • victorheaven on 03/07/2017 - 09:38

      I am sure it is just for contact purposes.

      Identification would be required for porting.

  • Tomika on 03/07/2017 - 09:37

    Wonder if anybody from the last deal ie 25% Family & Friends discount through optus staffs; manage to share data between devices?

  • bodysurfer on 03/07/2017 - 10:11

    Intrigued by this… can't see clearly how it works. Can anyone explain? i.e. free Uber rides - you have a new number sure but don't you need to swap sims to order your Uber, missing calls in the meantime? I started getting free sim cards from Telstra and Optus (because… OzBargain!) but haven't ever done anything with them…. What am I missing? Many thanks fellow OzBargainers for tips here :)

  • spuderump on 03/07/2017 - 10:22

    Probably best for those phones that have dual sim card slots, that way you can drop a new sim in the 2nd slot, use it for like the free uber credit etc and then change as you need.

      Can confirm its ATL (Authority to Leave) which means they leave in letterbox. My postman didn't bother knocking door or ringing door bell.

  • CB2 on 03/07/2017 - 11:46

    Great find OP :) Does anybody know if you can add one of these sims into an existing Optus group of sims that are sharing a big block of data on one account? Want to add one more modem to the data share group, thanks

    • hogwarts on 03/07/2017 - 11:58

      I'm not sure but if you really want to know, you could contact live chat ;)

      • CB2 on 03/07/2017 - 12:13

        Well now, that's way too logical :)

      Pretty sure data pooling is only for postpaid accounts. Happy to be corrected.

    Does anyone know the expiry on these SIMs if you don't recharge?

    • INFIDEL on 04/07/2017 - 11:29

      1/2/19 on mine delivered this morning.

    • iNeedMoreMoney on 25/07/2017 - 17:17

    Yes wondering about that as well. I have a few unactivated Optus sims bought a year or so ago.

    • steveclassy2 on 05/07/2017 - 23:10

      The SIM's I try to activiate online always have some sort of error. It's def not expired or used ???

  • INFIDEL on 04/07/2017 - 11:28

    Delivered in Brisbane - left in letterbox this morning by Startrack.

    • hogwarts on 04/07/2017 - 11:48

      Can confirm I got mine in Canberra. Unusual that I got 2 though, only 1 per customer, not complaining :)

      • rvsure on 04/07/2017 - 20:06

        Me too got two SIMs in two different packages under two different order numbers. Looks like glitch in their system.

        • hogwarts on 04/07/2017 - 20:39

          Yeah I got them in different packages also.

  • HS10 on 04/07/2017 - 17:50

    Anyone know where I can find a cheap usb modem? I have data sim for my iPad but would like to use it a USB Modem for a week.

    • hogwarts on 04/07/2017 - 20:40

      I just used an old device and used it as a hotspot when I had no wifi at my new house.

  • steveclassy2 on 05/07/2017 - 23:11

    What am I meant to do with a SIM with no number? I'm new

    • iNeedMoreMoney on 22/07/2017 - 20:34

      I'm guessing it includes a number but doesnt include recharge so you'll have a number to receive calls but no credit for outgoing. I'm new to this too :)

      • steveclassy2 on 23/07/2017 - 17:50

        It still doesn't fully make sense to me however. Hmmmm!

          a lot of apps or services have first time sign up bonus or discounts.
          e.g. GYG burritos, uber, uberEats, menulog etc. etc. etc.
          and they are based on unique phone numbers.
