      It’s under “Own a Phone” and the second option accross.

    Good deal but need to consider with the S9 out by March/April your signing a 2yr contract for older phone

    • jimbobaus on 22/01/2018 - 09:13

      Yeah offer ends 26/02/18
      Mobile world congress 2018 starts 26/02/18

      Coincidence? i think not

    • garage sale on 22/01/2018 - 11:08

      the S9 will cost more and what extra do you hope it will do.

      This is effectively $15 pm for the handset on top of a 20Gb plan….. so $360 for the handset over the 3 year deal …. you could sell it for more than that.

      The incremental improvements to handsets are either software, which they should be passing onto all their handsets, or cameras, and they don't seem to make the lenses bigger, look good on paper but pictures look the same at this level of phone.

      Android phones are always cheap outside of plans or drop in price rapidly, hence I'm on their sim only plan, might consider phone deal if it included IPhone …. Iphones are always expensive if you try to but outside of a plan.

      now an Iphone 8 for an extra $15 pm over 2 years would be a killer deal.

  • Rubber Duck on 22/01/2018 - 09:05

    Also got to consider S9 will almost be double this price with this much data with only slight improvements

    • RogueWolf on 22/01/2018 - 09:08

      good thing about samsung your almost guaranteed to find a 20% off deal within the first month of release, buy outright go on a cheap sim deal

    • [Deactivated] on 15/02/2018 - 22:46

      the camera on s9 doesn't seem like it'll only be a slight improvement though

      • KLoNe on 17/02/2018 - 14:32

        …why? Because Samsung's marketing hyping their own product? yeah, ok.

    Will HN offer $200 gift card for this deal?

    • jimbobaus on 22/01/2018 - 09:28
      +7

      No they don't
      promoting a price of $59 then adding GST when you order… would be illegal.

      If they advertise $59
      then it should be $59

      • Alan Laz on 25/01/2018 - 14:33
        +1

        $59 does incl GST

        But they will charge to use a credit card to pay (unless you've set up direct debit)

        The default invoice arrangement is paper mail and the charge is $2.20

        Optus' billing system is ugly - they messed up my initial order and a change of ownership request, be very careful

    • BradH13 on 22/01/2018 - 10:56

      Hogwash.

      The plan is $53.10 + $5.90 GST = $59.

      I've been an Optus customer for 5 years.

    • ExtraSalt on 22/01/2018 - 11:15

    my contract expire in end of july. should be safe for the world cup then. lol

  • Stefce on 22/01/2018 - 09:38

    Anyone have a list of what other handsets are available?

    • jasswolf on 22/01/2018 - 09:48

      By the looks of it: none. I'd say this is them clearing the line of one of their most popular models, especially given the end date of the offer.

    • Dalgona456 on 22/01/2018 - 10:07

      iPhone 8 plus 64GB on $79 with 25GB data. (this is also a promotion plan)

  • JohnnyP on 22/01/2018 - 09:53
    +3

    Its a good deal for a good phone. It really depends on your circumstances. If you are paying $40 BYO sim for 10Gb of data then this is good.

    Personally, I'm more inclined to wait for the S9 or S9+ and get the first 20% off ebay deal from a bricks and mortar store (I got the S7 on launch day from GoodGuys for 20% off). Im on the Optus $30 BYO for 15Gb data so this phone isn't worth $696 (29 * 24) to me.

    • haji on 22/01/2018 - 10:06

      I'm on the same boat as you, although it seems you can't even upgrade from your SIM only Optus plan.

      • JohnnyP on 22/01/2018 - 10:08

        They are probably keen on new customers only

    • jasswolf on 22/01/2018 - 10:24

      I suspect they will roll out the friends and family offer next month, which will stack with this promotion. Is it worth $342? ;)

      • jiaqi518 on 07/02/2018 - 21:50

        Why do you think they will roll out the 25% family and friends offer again pls？

        • jasswolf on 07/02/2018 - 22:19
          +1

          Because they did it around the same time last year (i.e. just before Samsung S8 release).

    • AlexG on 01/02/2018 - 15:59

      Good point. My phone just came off contract this month, so i could recontract onto this plan for the same cost as I was paying for my S6 from 2 years ago (albeit with way more data). I was thinking about waiting until another SIM only $30/15GB deal came up on Optus again, but looking at this deal, if you were SIM only, it would preclude you from taking this deal anyway.

      Your other strategy to wait for S9 in May, and get it at 1st 20% off sale is a good one. However, it will be a lot more expensive, and it is probably 6 months at least before someone offers it for 20% discount.

    Is the Telstra JB HIFI deal still on?

    If so, significantly better than this.

    • eug on 22/01/2018 - 10:28

      Which deal is that?

      • Sidor on 22/01/2018 - 11:25

        the expired one

        • eug on 22/01/2018 - 11:28

          JB had a significantly better deal on an S8 with 20GB than this $59 one?

        • goblues31 on 22/01/2018 - 13:24

          @eug:

          Yes - the JB hifi deal included a $100 voucher.

        • eug on 22/01/2018 - 15:54

          @goblues31: That comes with an S8? Weren't the JB deals for new or ported-in SIMs on a sim-only plan?

  • tempura on 22/01/2018 - 10:36

    Good deal in case you missed out on Telstra F&F deal on December.

  • DefconOne on 22/01/2018 - 10:46

    Nice, but I don't believe I will ever enter into a 24mth contract again. It's just too long.

      Sounds like marriage lol

      • homersyd on 22/01/2018 - 13:31

        in which case it should read 24yrs not 24mths…

          True, but the early termination fee for marriage is astronomical (half your assets lol)

    Really tempted to buy a Note 8 on $79 plan but alas I am on the iOS ecosystem :(

    • Matslurpee on 22/01/2018 - 16:32

      Ip8+ is available for the same price as the note 8 plan.

      • dealsucker on 23/01/2018 - 08:51

        There isnt enough differentiation between the 6s Plus that I am using and the 8 Plus in the way they look. That said, the 8 Plus was outdated the moment, X was announced.

  • DarthLord on 22/01/2018 - 11:31

    Seems like a good deal. But I don't need 20gb per month.

    So will be better off buying outright and pair with prepaid sim … currently paying $17/mth prepaid with 6gb

  • thierry on 22/01/2018 - 12:49

    does this have 10% off student discount?

    • hasher22 on 22/01/2018 - 14:23

      It's not on the student hub optus website, but speak to online chat, I am sure they could process it

  • aussie216618 on 22/01/2018 - 12:59

    iphone plan on this price?

    oh wait, do you own the phone after the contract?

    • JohnnyP on 22/01/2018 - 13:18

      They had the iPhone 8 on the same plan up until Jan 3. No iPhone 8 this time (they must have cleared their stock. 3 people in my family jumped on that plan, would have sold well)

      Yes its an outright plan

      • fozzie on 22/01/2018 - 13:36

        Yes you are correct, also the 8 plus is $10 more than before if I remember the price correctly

  • plapic on 22/01/2018 - 13:43

    What case and tempered glass screen protection users recommend for their S8?

    • Hipsi on 22/01/2018 - 14:23

      I had Nuglass and a VRS crystal hybrid case on my S7. dropped many many times and not a mark on it when I popped it out of the case to sell it.
      Now rocking Nuglass (again) and a Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my iPhone SE. Again, it's had a pretty hard life but the case and tempered glass are definitely doing the job!

  • D6C1 on 22/01/2018 - 14:43

    I have 3 months left on my contract and they dont want to give me an upgrade to this plan without paying $159 to get out.

    yeah thanks!

      Yeah they don't care to look after their current customers properly.

    • doweyy on 22/01/2018 - 18:24

      Wait really? I've had no issue recontracting for free for the missus for the iphone 8 deal last month, did you live chat?

      • Hipsi on 22/01/2018 - 18:32

        Harvey Norman wanted to recontract my missus for the i8 and she was only 6 months into her current plan!!!!

      • D6C1 on 22/01/2018 - 23:27

        I did live chat yeah. I can try another chat agent. I have two service numbers with them and they dont give a flying hoot.

    • TieNN89 on 22/01/2018 - 21:01

      Same here, I spoke to them at the start of the month which is right on 3 months left and they want me to pay x amount for an early upgrade.
      At first it was around the $150 figure then I said any early upgrade discount and they dropped it back to just under $100.

      Things have changed with Optus over the years, in the past they kept annoying me trying to get me onto a new contract offering all kinds of discounts.

    • sonu1111 on 08/02/2018 - 01:11

      What $159 for - monthly plan charge or outstanding for your mobile??

  • burgermaniac on 23/01/2018 - 16:28

    No upvote for me today. What is with these telco's and their policy "For new customers only", what the heck? Does Optus not know what 10 years of loyalty is, having 4 services with them? No luck on live chat today, or through a call…

    • EatmahPoo on 23/01/2018 - 23:27

      get a 2 dollar telstra or voda sim, port out, and then go as a "new customer".

      • burgermaniac on 25/01/2018 - 16:14

        Wouldn't count because I already have services with them

    • eug on 25/01/2018 - 15:49
      +1

      Is that a valid reason to neg the deal?

    • jassssone on 25/01/2018 - 18:08

      Have you read this:
      New and recontracting services only.
      Excludes trade up customers
      Recontracting only available online

      So existing customer with new service and existing customer recontract all qualified for this deal.

      • burgermaniac on 25/01/2018 - 20:36

        Was blocked for some reason. Should be valid, but even with a phone consultation they told me that I'm not allowed to get the deal. Hence the negative, sorry OP.

        • jassssone on 25/01/2018 - 20:42

          Optus rep is worst. Everyone got different answer, and they always hang up if they can't answer it

  • SaberX on 30/01/2018 - 04:11

    Man i sure regret getting the woolies s8 plans that were cash rewards discounted when it first came out. All good but i really underestimated the free netflix streaming data perk of optus. Not sure if others use this alot but i started using netflix alot more and really regret now.

    Sigh only another 1 yr and a bit to go. Reminds me of why im typically on sim only…. guess cashflow was tight at the time.

  • plapic on 31/01/2018 - 11:01

    Placed my S8 Black order 9 days ago on Monday 22nd and at the time was told there was no backorder and it will arrive no later than 7 business days which is tomorrow. No change in the order status so I contacted Optus to find out what's going on. They now tell me there's none in stock and waiting on Samsung. I now see that they have altered their page to say delivery will be from 21 February. This is unacceptable after being lied to and I had to contact them to find this out. They can't even determine what position my order is in the queue so if stock trickles in I still may not get it. Wonder how many are affected by this?

    • kittymtd on 02/02/2018 - 10:37

      I'm in the same boat as you, also ordered Monday 22 January in the evening and was approved Tuesday 23 January. I followed this up on Monday 29th January and was also given the 7 business day timeframe from when the order is approved which would be today, and said the warehouse should receive it early next week.. I might follow up on Monday again.

      Edit: Checked the website just now and it's no longer saying delivery from 21 February, but "Standard delivery (7 Business days)". So I will definitely follow this up on Monday if I don't hear anything today.

      • funkusbeef on 06/02/2018 - 16:34

        got a text today confirming delivery 24-48 hours.
