interested too…
let me know the reference number
So did you just mention can I have the 25% off and they said yes?
Visitor (11:11:20 Australia/Melbourne) : optus have in the store %25 off until the 31of July
Visitor (11:11:32 Australia/Melbourne) : can i get this offer over here
xxxxx (11:12:12 Australia/Melbourne) : Yes, you are right. if you go for additional service mobile phone/ sim only plans, you will get 25% discount.May I get the refference Number please along with everyone else we would really appericate it.
How many months did you have to sign for?
Also, does it have to be on the same account?12 months sim plan
yeah its additional service on your account !
Shame, my current contract still got couple months left
me too! :(
Not that, these type of offer is once off only.
There will be better offer in future I hope.
I have 2 $40 SIM only on 24 month contract. Can I get these moved to this plan?
I think you can, I'm on $40 sim only plan (with 25% discount, 10gb) just spoke to Optus chat, he said I could get my current plan data increased and keep my number but would have to pay ~$100 cancelation fee. Didn't go through with it, waiting on my referral credits to roll through first (previous promo $50/referral)
I had a chat to one of the online reps just now. My previous 12mth sim only plan had expired, but they wouldn't let me recontract with the 25% off. They wanted me to add an additional number to be eligible.
Make your now-expired post paid plan a prepaid plan and ask them again.
They should be able to do it then.Think this deal only applies to someone who already has a post paid plan and wants to add another plan. Porting out would not make you eligible as you no longer have a post paid plan
Might be annoying but maybe you could churn to another provider and back again.
I dont recommend churning over to another provider and back often. tried to do this with vodafone.
The issue is that with each churn, they will log a credit enquiry against your credit history. i swapped from optus to telstra to vodafone over the course of 3 months to take advantage of some of the deals that popped up and ozbargain, and this caused a problem with my credit history, to the point where I had to call Dun and Bradstreet (the debt collectors) to get them to explain the situation to Vodafone so that i could actually sign up for a post paid plan. These credit enquiries are still on my credit history and wont disappear for 5 years from the date they were logged.
Are you saying this for churning prepaid plans? I hadn't thought this would be relevant for prepaid - isn't that the whole point, no credit needed because it is 'pre paid'?
@Morgzilla: prepaid is fine, doesn't affect your history. But everytime you sign up for a post paid plan, they do a credit enquiry. So even if you swap to prepaid in between, it will still show when you swap to another post paid.
Nice grammar m8
?It's not perfect.
Nice spelling mate
This deal is only for grandma's??!!? Xonfused.
So you have to have two plans with them to get this?
Deal should probably state that it's 25% for ADDITIONAL SERVICES only. In other words, you must already have a post-paid account to take advantage of this deal.
Confirmed. You should have an existing post-paid Optus service then you can have a 25% off discount on the second service.
What was the reference number?
I would also like the reference number if possible. Or a link to the offer?
The Optus live chat is saying it expired on the 25thof June
The Optus live chat is saying it expired on the 25thof June
Same here!
The reference number would be handy, thank you. I'll give it a go.
The online chat thing is going to get hammered out now. It will probably crash.
I'd like the reference number as well, please
Could I also have the reference number please and what should I say. Both my mum and I are on the 12 month simonly plan but contract has ended. Will this work for us ?
Friends and family deal ended at the end of the financial year. Thanks OP for suggesting the deal, but I'm negging until we see some evidence the deal is available
Here is some evidence, I just tried to up my own to plan to 15GB and the chat officer offered me the new contract at 25% off without asking.
I think that's the wrong screenshot.
What do you mean? The commenter asked for evidence that the 25% discount is available, which is shown in the last line?
You can add an additional service and it will receive 25% off. It's separate to the friends and family deal. The better offer would be the $50 sim only, for 20GB, which will come to $37.50.
They keep asking me for a unique code. Does anyone know what they mean?
I have 2 post-paid services with them
I had success using the reference code listed below: 61603760
@superjquando: I had one number with Optus, and was re-contracting the second number which was not with Optus to get the deal.
Thanks everyone for the advice, but they wont do it unless it was for a service activated before the end of June, when the friends and family offer was available.
@steveclassy2: just a reference number of someone else's chat incase the sale consultant asks - evidence I guess
@superjquando: Honestly, I'm not a hundred percent sure. I just gave them the reference number and said that I wanted to add an additional $40 a month plan to my account, taking advantage of the 25% discount and that I would be porting the number in. Then they just processed my order.
@mylovelyminion: Ah i see! Seems like they will only process it if the additional service to be added came from a non optus provider. Lucky you!
I live chatted to find out more about this deal and it is legit so long as you already have an existing service with Optus that is on a plan (not a prepaid service). The second service you bring across is eligible for the 25% off
Spoke to chat and chat said the deal has already expired, I was trying to upgrade my existing 40 SIM only plan though. But expired doesn't sound the same as not available for upgrade.
Just ordered. My plan is $30 per momth with additional sim sharing 30gb. Bargain.
u have to sign 2 accounts yeah?
Can someone tell me the reference number?
Thank you very much!
I would love to get the refference number please!
Can some one please give me the reference number ? Thanks
my $40 plan ends this month, but I just bought the Kogan large plan. works out to be about 21 a month for 10 gig
Does that come with unlimited music streaming?
My optus one did, I don't think the Kogan one does. I'm not sure about the new optus plan either.
The new optus one does. Gives me so much data that i then can use elsewhere.
@OnlinePred: yeah its a fantastic deal for $30.
If I saw it before I bought mine I would've considered it.
But as the kogan one is cheaper I'm not too upset

The refer a friend Offer is no more available with us for the moment, but we have a better offer for you.
What was the better offer if I may ask?
he tried to go for 24 months iphone 7 plus 128gb plan for 100 instead of 125
Not the same but for anyone that missed this bargain, I was on a $40 per month sim only plan and that has now ended. I asked about the premier league and they said it will cost $15 if I want to take it up. I managed to get a $10 credit applied on the $40 sim only plan I was on (unlimited calls and text, 8GB data). Applied for 24 months but no contract. Still deciding if I want the premier league but $30 per month for this is good for me.
I was told in live chat that if you have service still in contract you are eligible for free premier league for the season. I asked if the premier league will be included if I sign up to the current deal $40 for 15gb for 12 month contract. They said yes. Going to do it again tomorrow and get a screen shot
Damn, please comment back $40 is my price for this
tried just then, operator didn't want to budge. They definitely told me yesterday that I was eligible for the premier league for free as long as I was in a contract. I should have screenshotted straight away :(
optus M • 05:09 PM
Alright, currently we donot have refer a friend 25% off offer with us. You need to check in our store if it is still available with them since we donot have the access to check on that information.Anyone got that plan for $30 ???????
Please shareMerged from OPTUS $40 plan with additional sim card + 15gb with 25% off = $30 per month
See title. Let me know if you need reference number.
This is for new or transfer only
New and existing
I couldn't get it for existing. Tried twice
Give me the reference number please, thanks
61603760
Thanks but I tried to tell serveral people that its a friend I cant seem to get them to budge to make the deal go to 30 ideas?
No luck. Rep is trying to charge $40 for my current plan and $30 for the additional plan to get 30gb
After 30 mins the chat rep said he couldn't check the reference number. I advised him 10 times. Bunch of idiots I swear. Could spewing the same 25% off the second plan. Would not listen to me when I advised him to check the reference number
what? 30gb for 30?
edit, nvm you had old number with bonus 15 alreadyWhat value does the existing service have to be to add on this deal? I just paid $40 for 7gb + 7gb Optus unlimited this seems far superior.
Can anyone confirm if it is 25% off "for ever", or just for the 12 months contract?
By the time these 12 months will be over, these services will be under $15 or 20
Possibly, but I have also kept some past plans, that were better than the currently available, after the contract ended…
Once again, can anyone confirm if it is 25% off "for ever", or just for the 12 months contract?
12 months, they have no obligation to keep the 25% after this time but you could perhaps ask them to grandfather it.
By then I'm sure there will be another deal though.
Defo just the 12 months: I specifically asked this.
15GB isnt really enough, can i get a higher plan?
2 x 15GB would data pool to 30GB ;-)
How does data pool work?
i also got the offer after few attempts
You got a reference? I'm being asked about who my Optus family or friend is
Could we please have the Optus reference number ?
Does this come with free EPL or do you have to pay extra?
Edit: Never mind, it doesn't, could try to persuade them to add it perhaps..
Hi, can I join Optus online for $40 - 15gb, then port another number to Optus and ask for $30 (25% off) deal later?
Has anyone been able to keep their own number? I'm trying to add an additional phone on top of my existing contract, and they say I can't get the 25% off unless I get an entirely new number instead of keeping the old number.
I was just able to add an additional phone and port a number across as well. I talked to someone called Henry R if that is helpful.
I added my wife's phone and kept her number. The only prerequisite was that her phone already be under my name, with the other mobile provider.
Yeap - I ended up doing that as well. It is a bit bloody annoying.
