Plus data rollover and $200 worth of international calls.

Normally this plan is for $40 per month but the current promotion is offering 20% discount on all 12 months sim only plans bringing the cost down to $32 per month, furthermore 2 bill free months bringing the cost further down to $320 for 12 months = $26.66 per month. I believe it is a good bargain so thought I should share. Please delete if there is a better value out there with other competitors.

2 months free link is here https://www.virginmobile.com.au/monthly-mobile-plans/?i_cid=hm_wid_wid2_plans

Also don’t forget $45 cash rewards for new customers:)

[2 Months FREE is likely a superseded offer]

    An extract from the fine print

    20% off 12mth SIMs: sign up by 31 January 2018 to a new contracted $30, $35, $40, $50 or $60 12mth SIM Plan and receive 20% off your standard monthly access fee until you cancel or change plans. For new and upgrading customers only. Fair use policy applies. Not in conjunction with any other offer.

  • overule on 10/12/2017 - 20:43

    Sorry but on virgin website, I can see where it says 2 months free.
    I don't need so much data. Can i get the $30 plan plus 20% off and 2 months free?

  • simba-au on 10/12/2017 - 20:46

    which part of the virgin website that stated 2 months free on 12 mths sim only plan. Can't see it anywhere.

  • scheps on 10/12/2017 - 20:53

    they are saying 2 months free is like 20%?

    btw cash rewards is only for new numbers?

    • dK69 on 10/12/2017 - 20:59

      Well it is clearly written in bold that “ Get s cracker this Christmas with 2 months free”. So I believe they are doing the 2 months bill free promotion in addition to the 20% monthly discounted rate. If there is a confusion then we should clear it with Virgin.

      • Sainter4Life on 10/12/2017 - 21:06

  • DBW on 10/12/2017 - 21:13

    How do they look at return customer? Which one do they see it as? new customer? Sorry but I do have a further question. I used to be their customer and actually paid higher monthly fee, I wonder if I will be eligible for this?

    • Whatisthatvelvet on 10/12/2017 - 21:34

      If you're with another provider you'll be a new customer if you go back. Done it before myself

    15GB includes 5GB bonus data. Is that just for the first month? Or all 12 months ? CIS says 10GB

    • cpho on 10/12/2017 - 21:27

      Fine print is on the page OP linked:

      $40 12mth SIM 5GB: Sign up by 28th December 2017 to a $40 12-month SIM Plan and you will receive an additional 5GB bonus on top of your standard monthly data allowance (to use in Oz) until you cancel or change plans. Fair Use Policy applies.

      • finbar on 10/12/2017 - 21:33

        OP has expiry date for the offer as 31 Jan tho

        • cpho on 10/12/2017 - 21:46

          So then I'd presume if you sign up after 28th Dec, the plan reverts back to 10gb, but 20% off still applies till 31 Jan?

        • finbar on 10/12/2017 - 21:53

          @cpho: yeah it appears so

  • finbar on 10/12/2017 - 21:16

    $40 plan says minimum spend $384 making it $32 a month. Are you certain you get both 20% off AND 2 months free ?

  • finbar on 10/12/2017 - 21:18

    $30 plan 5GB. $35 plan 1.5GB. That doesn't make much sense.

    • Sainter4Life on 10/12/2017 - 21:22

      You get less data but more intentional minutes for the $35 but still doesn't make much sense to me as well.

  • nenadb on 10/12/2017 - 21:31

    I can't see the 2 months free either, might be targeted? There is a $100 credit but that is only for the phone plan where u have to add a handset onto the plan.

          I have that above the 2 months free. But looking on my laptop, I only get the $100 credit offer too.

          Regardless, I will try my luck getting the 20% and 2 months free tomorrow.

  • fozzie on 10/12/2017 - 21:34

    I am tempted by the 5gb. I am on old Telstra plan (were you would get google play credit) so need a new plan. If you get 20% off it comes to 24x10=$240 -45 cashrewards= $195 for 12months. Kogan offers 6gb if you pay upfront, but I like for this one that you pay monthly and the unlimited music streaming (especially heart radio).
    I will have an online chat tomorrow to ensure is both 20%off and 2 free months.

    • finbar on 10/12/2017 - 21:41

      Yeah I'd check.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/12/2017 - 21:43

      Just be careful, the streaming says till 08/03/18, so the free service may be getting terminated after that. Confirmation would be great.

      • fozzie on 10/12/2017 - 22:25

        Thanks for pointing that out. I will double check

        • Pab23q on 11/12/2017 - 06:35

          I'm on telstra encore and most likely going to Coles prepaid. $20 / 3GB / 35 day expiry

        • fozzie on 11/12/2017 - 09:39
          +1

          @Pab23q: Hello Pab23q, I am also contemplating the Coles prepaid. I live in Sydney so the reception of Optus is very good (any carrier works where I live and work) so I am just after the cheapest and more data option. I only use around 1.5gb so 3gb should be plenty.

        • Pab23q on 11/12/2017 - 10:18

          @fozzie:

          Good to hear. I live in Sydney too so I reckon it will be ok. If I find that it's no good then I'll jump to Aldi =/

          But Coles - great value indeed =)

          @fozzie:

          If you haven't seen it yet I'm about to go with the Woolworths prepaid plan posted with $10 for $30 starter here:
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/347707

          For recharge options theres $15->1GB and $20->3GB with 30days expiry, and I think rollover up to 15GB is available so you can alternate.

          10% discount with rewards cards brings it to $13.5 and $18.

          @secondstory:
          Thanks mate, I am also thinking about Kogan now for 1 year. Currently is $205, but there is discount vouchers going around (can be bought on here for $8.50 and gives $50 off). Plus if you have a referral you get another $10 off= $153.50 for 12 months with 6gb. That’s $12.75 a month. So you save another $5.25 each month and get extra data. Win win.

    Note that this plan does not include international calls like most of the others do with Virgin..

          @GregMonarch:

          They probably are, but the website contradicts itself.

          I've been with them for many many years and I've never come across a plan that wasn't in that time.

        • GregMonarch on 11/12/2017 - 09:25

    is the 20% off the 2 months free??

  • Falbium on 10/12/2017 - 22:00
    +9

    Looks like the 2 months free offer was replaced with the 20% discount offer. You don't get both. Some people saying the website images still show the old offer which could be a cache or hosting issue. Virginmobile always show their current offer in "The Fine Print" at the bottom of the page. It shows the new 20% discount there. The 2 months free offer was removed from this section and replaced by the 20% discount. Negging the post for visibility, nobody wants to commit to 12 months under a false belief.

    • fozzie on 10/12/2017 - 22:26

      Ok, thanks man not as tempting now…

    • Falbium on 10/12/2017 - 22:29
      +3

      Post has been updated so I've revoked my negative vote. I actually think this is still a great offer, it works out to $28.25 per month if you factor in $45 cashback with Cashrewards. You don't get the unmetered TV streaming like Optus, but for users who don't place much value there it has some advantages over Optus. The international calls aren't limited to "selected" countries, it has rollover for data, and from what I've heard customer service isn't quite so bad.

  • pingualien on 10/12/2017 - 22:01

    Should I port my number from 36 dollars a month 14gb from Optus to this?

  • Piquant on 10/12/2017 - 22:14

    To clarify, it is simply $32/month. 2 months free is not available.

  • kulprit on 10/12/2017 - 23:09

    Do virgin have data pooling on an account like Optus do? I see they have something where I can send the data to someone instead, not sure as good for a family but would work

  • GregMonarch on 11/12/2017 - 09:36

    I'm comparing this with the Optus deal to inform someone else: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/348354

    Q1: Which one is better value? Virgin $200 of international calls & text, or Optus 300 international minutes & text?

    Q2: Is the $45 Cashrewards cashback for new Virgin customers, or new Cashrewards customers?

    • enzioFirenze on 11/12/2017 - 10:31
      +1

      new virgin customers and Q1 depends on which countries you want to talk to, Virgin from memory don't have as many restrictions as Optus which only allows international calls for selected countries in their list.

  • jaywu on 11/12/2017 - 09:39

    No deal. Optus is offering better deal with 25% discount on $40 with 15GB, 300 International Minutes, and Entertainment Pack (Optus Sport, Mobile TV Streaming, Music Streaming).
    http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/phones/sim-only

    • GregMonarch on 11/12/2017 - 09:40

      Yeah but if they don't need the entertainment… Which is better value (which one goes further)… $200 or 300 minutes?

    • Piquant on 11/12/2017 - 12:41
      +1

      Data rollover isn't available on Optus.

  • brake on 11/12/2017 - 14:59

    Hmmm so, the only differences are:

    Virgin:
    $32 per month for 12 months
    data roll over and data gifting
    200 DOLLARS standard international calls and text

    Optus:
    $30 per month for 12 months
    no data rollover or data gifting
    300 MINUTES standard international calls and text

    They both have data free streaming for spotify, google play, iheart radio

    But Optus offers data free streaming for Yes TV by Fetch, Netflix, Stan, ABC iview, ABC KIDS iview, ABC ME, National Geographic, Optus sport

    I think I might go with Optus, data free Netflix and Stan is too good to pass up I think. Although Data rollover of Virgin is very tempting as I won't always use 15gb every month (but it's only for the next month then resets)

    I don't call internationally so for me it really comes down to data rollover and data gifting and less streaming options, Vs. extra streaming options (netflix and stan are my big ones)

    • scheps on 11/12/2017 - 20:48

      which one is less likely to stuff up your plan which takes 2 hrs to rectify?

    • Quantumcat on 12/12/2017 - 08:59

      Belong has proper data rollover, not just until next month. A little more expensive (15GB for $40) but you can also go down to 3GB whenever you want to save money
