iPhone 8 64GB EXPIRED

$1 cheaper then with virgin, plus includes 20gb of data, streaming of Optus sport (football and cricket), national geographic and tv/music data free.

Confirmed no student discount. Looks like students can save an extra 10% on plans, but someone would have to confirm.

Edit: Appears to be available for both new and existing customers.

Customers who are still in-contract with Optus may be eligible to upgrade. Confirmed possible on SIM-only plan.

Edit edit: various other phones appear to be included in this $59 deal

    iPhone 8 also $59

      Thanks, I'll add that to the deal as well.

        I'd bet Harvey Norman may have offer $200 gift card for switching to Optus sometime this month to sweeten the deal.

          @webtherapist:

          Gift card you mean mate, or just this deal in general?

          Sorry, I edited my previous post, but I initially mentioned how the JB Hifi $49 BYO deal + $200 gift card, then going to Telstra live chat and asking to be upgraded to the $59 F & F deal with 5GB bonus would likely be better value for those wanting the S8/Telstra network.

          If Optus is offering a similar gift card in store though, I'd be likely to stick with them, as they still offer 5GB bundling bonus for having multiple plans don't they?

          @jacksbargain: So do we have the whole business day on the 11th to get it or is tomorrow our last possible day? Also, does the phone have to be instore or can you choose one not there and wait for it to be sent out? I want the Xperia XZ Premium which I don't think my closest store has :/
          Oh and does porting from Coles prepaid count? Lol

        • jrjr on 09/12/2017 - 22:27

          @charmed_tiger6: I'm not associated with HN but I assume if the phone isn't in stock you'd still be able to get it and they'd just order one in or ship it to you.

          Coles should count, can't imagine why not.

        • virhlpool on 09/12/2017 - 23:49

          Yes it counts, most HN stores will not have an XZ in stock, (I do at the Aspley though) They can raincheck you one and you still qualify. It gets sent to the store and then you will pick up, 3-5 days normally.

        • JIMB0 on 10/12/2017 - 10:48

          buyout your current deal dude. I bought out my S8 10gb deal and signed to BYO $40 plan with 15gb now discounted to $30 and im still $15 better off a month.

      • alo1234 on 09/12/2017 - 09:10
        +1

        They need to beat it, not matching it. Optus 4G in MEL have so many black spot and it keeps dropping out.

        I switched to the S8 deal on Telstra and couldnt be happier. Havent got any issue with it since.

        • The J man on 09/12/2017 - 09:22

          Optus 4G in MEL have so many black spot and it keeps dropping out.

          I'm lucky in the sense that Optus coverage around me is all good, no black spots, always 4G.

          But I can understand your predicament and why Telstra is much better for you.

          The bonus this deal has over the Telstra one is you're not restricted to the S8 only and can opt for other phones. Optus may also include a 5GB bundling bonus for having multiple plans with them? Idk if that's still applicable for Optus though (this may have changed since the middle of the year).

          But the Telstra one, if you go via the JB Hifi $49 BYO deal -> $59 Telstra F & F deal, scores you a bonus $200 JB Hifi gift card.

          It's good to have choice now, as Optus, as of last night, had nothing on par with the Telstra deal (I was asking their live chat about it just last night, they advised they couldn't match the Telstra deal…..that's certainly changed overnight).

        • MasterMirage on 09/12/2017 - 20:12

          Yeah, I was with optus on a BYO plan for 4 months (was on Vodafone) and it was absoutely horrible. I think my local commute to work had like 4 dropouts and I just went with the Telstra plan and even though it's 5gb less, I couldn't be happier.

        • klaw81 on 11/12/2017 - 16:45

          @MasterMirage: Get onto Telstra live chat - they're allowing lots of people (myself included) a bonus 5GB under a current promotion. More details in the Telstra thread.

          Good question haha. Would like to think so, but depends whether this deal qualifies as what's advertised in that banner or not.

          If so, it makes the Mate Pro 10 option a little sweeter (although don't know how much I'd use the VR camera, I'll take a freebie if it's offered).

        The Phone is sublime, happy with the phone, moving from Nexus 6P. Has Optus Bloatware, but you can uninstall / disable them. Have to root to remove Optus startup screen tho.
        Nice Camera.
        Great battery life. Casual gaming usage, Webs, social media here and there. will leave 50ish percentage by the end of the day before I go to sleep.

      Just submitted my order. It might be an ok deal for someone else but pretty good for an existing out of contract customer wanting the epl.
      Check gumtree and iPhone8 64gb could be sold for $800, which makes it less than $26 for 20 gb data plus free epl for two years.
      Btw, thank u for all the replies.
