    Thats Lease plan. Please mention in title

  • Bargain4Days on 03/12/2018 - 10:19

    Should mention its leasing

  • Spennyrich on 03/12/2018 - 10:28

    what does lease mean?

    • KingJuf on 03/12/2018 - 10:29

      You dont own the phone at the end of the contract and have to return it. Lease/hire/rental

        It means you have to wrap it in bubble wrap and baby it for 24 months or will have to pay extra..

      It means it's a ripoff. Lease plans should be banned or it should be enforced that they very visibly advertise the fact that you don't OWN the phone, you're just paying for the use of their network and borrowing the phone. This is not super clear on their website and I suspect they do that on purpose.

      • britta on 03/12/2018 - 11:50

        If you intend to hand it back in 12 months and recontract (which I just did) then the lease option makes perfect sense!

        • blergmonkeys on 03/12/2018 - 12:54

          Well, in a way. My plan with Optus is a $69/m plan for owning my iphone 8 256gb which I got back in Dec 2017. I also got a $200 bonus sign up gift card to harvey norman. After taking out the price of the phone at the time ($1329) + $200 gift card, I end up paying $5.30 per month for the phone plan. If I leased, the price of the phone can't be taken into account and all that money goes to optus as pure profit. Obviously, if it's more convenient for you to lease, that's understandable, but in most cases, leasing makes no financial/objective sense.

          • britta on 03/12/2018 - 15:29

            @blergmonkeys: Yes but dont forget the price of the phone at the start of the contract is irrlevant, its what its worth at the end. At the end of your 24 months you have still paid $1456 out of pocket and left with a phone which is not even remotely close to that value. I do think the leasing discount should be far more than a pathetic $10 tho.

            Either way buying a phone outright and getting a sim only 12 month plan bets both of us ;-)

            • jno on 03/12/2018 - 21:30

              @britta: Phones these days hold decent value if you look after it well enough. My s8 can be sold for 400 thats pretty good to me to go towards an upgrade

            • blergmonkeys on 03/12/2018 - 21:42

              @britta: Sorry not trying to argue but how is it the worth of the phone is based on the end of the contract? I used it for those 2 years on contract so i got the value of the phone via that use? Not sure I understand your reasoning.

              As for sim only with buying outright, I don’t know many sim only plans that get you unlimited calling, 20gb/m and 300 mins intl calling for $5/m. Which is what I’m paying after the price of the phone and gift card. Hell, take away the gift card and it’s still only $11/m.

  • [Deactivated] on 03/12/2018 - 10:40

    So what if you drop the phone?

      GO to jail and pay $499

    • Tacooo on 03/12/2018 - 10:41

      Then you owe them up to $499.

  • dhleoz on 03/12/2018 - 10:48

    I don't understand the concept of lease plan. Does anyone actually go for it?

      Id assume it would only be an advantage for businesses that need phones that are up to date otherwise imo its a rip off for anyone else

      • WaywardOne on 03/12/2018 - 11:49

        Also for people constantly upgrading, but not wanting to sell their old handsets

    the unfortunate truth is Optus's service sucks. So you'll never use the 100gb

    • blergmonkeys on 03/12/2018 - 11:03

      Hmm, I'm not sure I agree. I live in FNQ and often travel remotely to places like Mossman and Chillagoe and get pretty decent 4g most places. I find myself able to watch netflix and stream youtube with ease in most places. Maybe it's worse in the city, but that seems counterintuitive?

        Jeez Chilligoe has Optus? I often go out west along the gulf developmental road. Once your past the Shoe and in the Garnet and Mount Surprise it's Telstra or nothing.

          Sorry, I had a brainfart. I travel these places for work and use my work's telstra wifi hotspot when in the outback. I think you're right, Chillagoe doesn't have Optus coverage. My bad!

      • pennypincher98 on 03/12/2018 - 20:14

        often travel remotely to places like Mossman

        Did any other Sydneysiders pause here? TIL I don't have to be a millionaire to live in Mossman xD

    • ChickenAdobo on 03/12/2018 - 15:30

      I used over 100GB of data. ymmv

    • pennypincher98 on 03/12/2018 - 20:18

      Optus service is great in the CBDs where I guess they think most of the customers are.
      Telstra is definitely better when you go regionally, and going a bit further out you realise that's all you've got.

      (Hint: Optus fix that Woy Woy-Berowra section of train line and you'll get a lot more customers)

  • asa79 on 03/12/2018 - 11:57

    Pixel 3 or S9 which one is better

    • doot on 03/12/2018 - 12:01
      -1

      Apparently Google is too hard for you, but the S9 is better in a majority of areas, where the Pixel is better in fewer (eg. Camera, software updates)

    • xyzzyxyzzy on 03/12/2018 - 12:26

      Pixel 3 is just ugly

      • pennypincher98 on 03/12/2018 - 20:08

        3 XL*
        Besides you do know you can hide the notch if you want (so it looks like the 2XL).

        My two cents: Google is definitely better. It's the simplicity (if that's the right word) of Apple coupled with the flexibility/freedom of Android without all the extra bulk Samsung insists on putting on. I'll admit Samsung has come a long way reducing the bloat but Google's offering is superior.
        That's before even taking into account free unlimited online photo/video storage (in Original quality) and 3 years of support/OS updates.

        Samsung is more flashy if that matters, but I still like the practicality of the Pixels design.

        I have also read about Samsung's flagships depleting battery life after only a year?

    • Dano33 on 03/12/2018 - 14:06

      The S9 looks better (hardware design) but the Pixel has a superior camera and smoother software experience.

      • Arch9896 on 03/12/2018 - 15:04

        i will choose Pixel if i could, i really dont like the edge screen.

      • asa79 on 03/12/2018 - 15:40

        They are too similar to really decide

    The $499 damage fee is a killer to it

  • diddy50 on 03/12/2018 - 12:43

    lease, no thanks

  • Enjj0y on 03/12/2018 - 13:08

    100gb who is going to use?
    $35 for 30gb is better.
    So you pay monthly (69-35)= $34 to use phone for 2 years & miss all new options that will definitely come during time. By mistake you drop the phone pay stupidity fee of $499 for phone that you don't own.
    So you pay $34x24=$816 to use the phone with risk of extra payment of $499 for 2 years.

    I would love to know who is buying this lease phone plans!

    • enveloped on 15/12/2018 - 19:37

      I struggled 1/2 hour to figure out how the data pooling thing work. If I can share the plan with a family member it would be great. But the cost structure is a mystery. It would be too good if my family member get just the lowest prepaid plan and can borrow the 100GB from me.

  • Tokyoboy on 03/12/2018 - 13:12

    Lease will be a disaster if you lose the phone. You can only either continue to pay for the leasing plan until it finishes and "buy" the lost phone at a price decided by Optus or terminate the plan by paying a full price for the phone plus a hefty cancellation fee.
    The best way to avoid that disaster is to buy a phone insurance which is $14/month more.

    Overall this makes the lease is expensive as a purchase plan.

    • asa79 on 03/12/2018 - 15:40

      I bet the slightest bit of damage just a mark on the back you could be up for that $499
