    Hmm. I'm currently on a $40 plan that has a 10% student discount ($36). Would this plan count as an "upgrade" allowing me to avoid early termination fees, because it is a more expensive plan (even though after discount it is still $36)?

    • deivu on 07/08/2018 - 11:24

      Speak with the online chat system and let us know how it goes. Seems you could help out a lot of others with the same question.

        I just tried and got told I'd be charged an ETF even if I was upgrading to one of the other more expensive plans (like the 50gb plan).

        Might try another rep later in the day.

        I just signed up 4 weeks ago on $45/ month and now this comes up. Spoke on the phone and they said they can't apply the promotion to my current plan. Only way is to cancel and incur a cancellation fee. Thanks Optus, once the 12 months expires, I will be gone!

      • Rooch91 on 08/08/2018 - 09:42

        I signed up for the $45 sim plan in July and just got off chat with them. I asked if I could get the new price but they said I'd have to pay an early termination fee. "Dave" however, did offer me a 10% discount so that's something. I also have the student discount applied to my account

    • FatTofu on 07/08/2018 - 12:01

      They usually allow this. Just note you may have mobile TV streaming included free currently where as it's +$5/Mo on this plan. The 15GB extra may make up for lack of unlimited mobile TV though…

    • BTP1993 on 07/08/2018 - 14:42

      Ring them instead. Online chat don't even want to upgrade you and if they do, they'll want to give you a cancellation fee in the process.

    • redhatguy on 08/08/2018 - 13:06

      I got the 10% student discount, and I didn't ask for it. My current plan already had the discount applied, so it possibly carried over.

      "I have got the plan change processed to $45 12 months SIM only plan with a 20% discount and a 10% Student Discount, which includes 30 GB data per month, Unlimited standard Talk and text with 300 Internetaional minutes."

      Even without a deal like this, why on earth did you remain on that plan?? Even without 20% off and double data, you'd still be paying $45 for 15GB, which is far better value than what you're currently on.

      optus seems to have too many subscribers now.

          @MITM:

          I have actually jumped on chat again today. I noticed signing up for the new plan that my wife's plan (10GB+2GB) seems to suddenly be missing the 2GB bonus. This lady on chat has no clue. She has linked me the critical info summary and says "see it's 10GB. so you must have had 8GB + 2GB total". lol

          had to explain to her that critical info is the base plan and excludes bonus data. I then showed her a bill that clearly says 10GB + 2GB free data add on. Seriously do they train these people or just throw them in the deep end?

        • Fuzor on 08/08/2018 - 00:05

          @edshays: Most Aussie business don't do training. You either hire someone experienced or learn on the job as you go. Its the countrywide business culture.

          Your issue is especially hard if she is new. She can learn everything about what they offer but cant be expected to know superseded plans that were offered years ago.

          24 month contract, total $1416.

          Sold the S8 for $850 on eBay. Added straight to my Telstra balance.

          Brings it down to $565.92/24 months, works out to be $23.58 p/m.

          Added a data share sim for family, called Telstra and got that extra 5GB bonus for having more than one mobile service on same account.

          Total 20.1GB p/m (not 21GB oops).

          Then added Telstra corporate discount, 20% off.

          Works out to be $18.86 p/m.

          @SuperC: I'm trying to remember but I believe I contracted originally at $39 with the $10 discount then a few months later convinced them to do an additional $10 valued customer bonus. I think sometimes it comes down to luck as to when you call and what codes are available to the agents to apply to customer accounts.

    Solid offer from Optus but the network is very patchy for me. off topic - any Telstra/reseller has the similar offer around this price? I was looking at Belong as the unlimited databank is quite attractive to me.

          I got a Belong sim for my dad, it’s no longer needed and basically I found it impossible to ‘terminate’ the arrangement without asking PayPal to stop payment authority.

          I called Belong’s number and irrespective of the option chosen, you can never speak with a real person. I end up leaving a (make it 2) message for a return call, it’s been 2 weeks now, still haven’t heard back from them.

          Avoid Belong.

      • epoch007 on 07/08/2018 - 11:59

        I am pretty sure the 'bonus' data stops. So you might just end up with 15gb until you re-contract a better plan.
        This is based on experience from the previous sim-only referral promo. $40 plan with 25% discount down to $30 effectively. Data was 10gb+2gb bonus. Now after 12 mths the bonus is taken away.

        • deivu on 07/08/2018 - 12:05

          I asked the same question in chat and they said it's for the life of the plan. I did find this in the terms and conditions though "Even though the contract is for 12 months, if you choose to stay on your plan for longer, the discount will apply for up to 24 months and will be forfeited if you recontract, cancel or change plans"

          @deivu: When you're signing up it says.

          20% Off Plan Fee will apply for your minimum contract term, unless you change, recontract or cancel your plan. After your minimum contract term, we have the right to remove the discount. Offer ends 2/09/18.

          So I suppose it could go back up to $45/month if they want to.

      Same with me. Lady on chat confirmed the discount and double data is applied though.

      Actually, there is a 200gb wireless home broadband plan for $70pm with Optus. I'm moving to that, they say that it's limited to 12mb but they can set you up to full 4g connection (without limited speed) if you ask nicely I guess.

        Not sure where you got that information from but I highly doubt they would increase the speed.
        Im with vividwireless which is capped at 12mbps and I rarely even reach that speed due to congestion.
