Saw this on my Facebook feed earlier this afternoon -

Usually $55/mth now down to $41.25/mth (25% off).

Highlight features incl.:

  • Unlimited Calls + Text Nationally AND to 35 select int'l destinations
  • 80GB shareable data
  • Optus Sport which usually includes EP, UEFA, etc.
  • National Geographic subscription
  • Data free media streaming on selected music + video streaming services.

Great idea for either heavy users and/or use this as data booster for the family data share.

    The problem is that because it's a new plan, they don't really know the T&C's of the plan yet which is what I have found many times in the past. It is an upgrade if you're going to a higher plan and it costs more, 75c more in my case $45(40.50 Inc 10% discount) to $55($41.25 Inc 25% discount), it's a higher plan and it costs more.

    • mattie on 10/12/2018 - 21:55

      Just read the critical information summary for this discounted $55 plan, it says no early exit fees if new plan costs more

    My friend has this plan and he loves it. He lives in a flat by himself and 80GB is plenty for him, he also takes advantage of the free video streaming I can't remember which one. But for people who either live alone, in a share house or traveling around the country, this plan is ideal. All of your internet/telecommunications in one package, hotspot to your laptop or even TV and get speeds faster than the base NBN packages, particularly upload speeds!!

    • shaunyc on 11/12/2018 - 00:50

      You got it! Such a good deal with the included streaming services and international calls!

  • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2018 - 03:38

    The Telstra plan is sharable data as far as I know… Just FYI - I don't think the Optus advertising is right.

    • apptrack on 22/01/2019 - 21:12

      No Telstra don't allow data sharing anymore :(

  • Davros on 11/12/2018 - 07:30

    Feel a bit silly asking but can't see where it says, is this 4g?
    Currently using jennee/optus but with 3g and the upgrade to 4g would be great.

  • Lord Ra on 11/12/2018 - 07:32

    It would appear that Amaysim have lost their advantage. I'm quite shy about 12 month contracts, but this seems to be a cracker of a deal. Using amaysim plans to compare, the extras on this are untouchable. I have broadband with Optus on a rolling contract so this will give me a $10 credit on that as well.

    • rabkoa on 03/01/2019 - 11:41

      You might want to double check on that.

      I have wireless broadband and currently getting $10 off per month on mobile plan.

      However on chat, the rep said "no further discount" if I upgrade to this plan.

      • Lord Ra on 05/01/2019 - 19:17

        Yea, you're right, they said no further discount! Sad!

    Hey everyone, I got a couple of friends that work at Optus and they gave me some insight.

    -data sharing only works if your other services are on the same Account number. Not just simply the same name on the account.
    -if you have just recently signed up to a new sim only plan, you may still be able to jump aboard to current in market plans, however this means you still be starting a new contract. If you call Optus customer service they should waiver the upgrade fee as you are renewing your contract. I believe this is all dependent on how long you have had your current sim only plan for.
    -Optus's last best deals were around this time last year, so I'm unsure if we can expect to see any better deals before Christmas. Usually what prompts these deals happening is competition from other telecos , i.e Telstra's $50pm sim only.

    Hope that helps

    • JTTheMan on 13/12/2018 - 15:59

      Did they say what the actual conditions might be for waiving the early upgrade fee? Just curious

  • jezza p on 11/12/2018 - 18:22

    Did anyone else get the following message after ordering this?

    “OPTUSMSG:Hi, thanks for adding Music Streaming, Optus Sport (Mobile), 25% Discount for 24 months, Disc Mobile TV streaming, UL Intl Talk & Text(35 countries) and $5 Mobile TV Streaming to your Optus Service. Your order reference number is: xxxx. For more information visit http://yesopt.us/chat2us”

    It says $5 mobile TV…I thought it’s free for 12 months?

    EDIT: oops, never mind…it says disc mobile tv streaming on that text as well. and confirmed with an optus rep. that it is indeed free for 12 months.

  • stockastics on 11/12/2018 - 22:18

  • Kenna on 12/12/2018 - 10:33

    I cannot upgrade from the $35 for 30 GB contract to the 41.25 for 80 GB unless I pay cancellation fee…I spoke to an online rep..he said the cancellation fee is around 175

    Might have to wait till next year to get a decent offer

    • jezza p on 12/12/2018 - 10:48

      Someone suggested calling them instead. Give it a go. I found online people really hard to deal with, especially the sales department. Not sure who you spoke to, but chat with billing/general inquiries and ask them to do it for you instead. They can do upgrades in billing, just keep insisting not to be transferred to sales as you need to get the cancellation fee waived as well. When I signed up for mine, they told me if I wanted to upgrade later, I wouldn't need to pay the cancellation fee for upgrade. They probably told you the same. This plan would be an upgrade for you since it's a $55 plan essentially.

      • Kenna on 12/12/2018 - 15:45

        Thanks will give it a go

      • Kenna on 12/12/2018 - 15:53

        Just spoke with a rep..they said the same thing $175 payout fee and would only waive the fee if it was for a phone plan not sim only plan

        • Lord Ra on 12/12/2018 - 17:17

          Just keep at it, @Kenna

        Your advice is worth gold :)
        I signed up to the 10% off $45 less than 2 months ago.
        I got the $55-25% on the 3rd time with a call to billing/general enquiries after initially getting declined online with chat, then declined by sales on the phone.
        No early termination fees :)

    • BondiCal on 12/12/2018 - 17:27

      hmm weird. I was on a 40 dollar 25gb plan and they let the cancellation fee slide. Might depend on which service person you get

  • BondiCal on 12/12/2018 - 17:28

    Amazing deal! Upgraded from 25gb for 40$ to 80gb for 41.25

  • iamtezr on 12/12/2018 - 17:57

    can anyone please confirm that if i'm on a new $45 plan ($40.50 promo) but now want to go to a higher plan $55 plan ($41.25 promo) that there's no fee since it's upgrading within the same family rate plan?
    Can this just be done via the online website or does it have to be done over the phone/chat?
    TIA

    • 3sky on 13/12/2018 - 01:22

      I can confirm I was successful upgrading from 50GB $45-10% promo. I joined that at end of October. But, I'm not familiar with this Family Rate Plan you mention…

      I'm kind of repeating what I wrote previously, but I was initially was going to be charged $225 early termination fee when I contacted Optus via chat and a call where I ended up talking to a sales lad (the sales rep mentioned I had to be minimum over 6 months into contract before free upgrade, which was totally random thinking now…)
      I was successful by calling 133937 and selecting options till I got to Billing/General enquiries. From there it was a total change of attitude from Optus. I didn't even have to argue my case. I just stated clearly what I was hoping for, and received.
      Best of luck.

  • shaunyc on 12/12/2018 - 18:40

    I think you can, just keep trying via chat, depends on the agent. Chat is considered online.
    I did it after upgrading while still in contract on the same plan as you, a week after signing into that new contract. Phone sales will not help you at all.

    • iamtezr on 12/12/2018 - 19:12

      Thanks for the reply.
      So if i just went upgrade via the link i'll get charged the cancellation fee?

      I just thought that since i'm on the My Promo Plus 12M SIM (Oct 18) $45 plan ID 801072/10962355 and "UPGRADING" to a higher plan within the family plan rate to My Promo Plus 12M SIM (Oct 18) $55 plan ID 801073/10962365, then there shouldn't be an penalty.

      Just want to check if anyone in the same current plan as me and did the upgrade via the link.
      Just trying to avoid a battle with the online/chat team if possible.

      • shaunyc on 12/12/2018 - 21:56

        You won't be able to upgrade via the link, I tried. You are right, it is a plan upgrade, let them know. Keep contacting chat, you just need to get the right person on chat and they will do it for you like they did for me. Grease, Grease, Grease and good luck!

  • scheps on 18/12/2018 - 23:26

    Does it show as 41.25 on anyones service plan or on my optus? or it will only show up on the bill?

  • mickmcmahon67 on 19/12/2018 - 19:05

    I was on a current $35.00 sim only plan with 10% discount that I only just signed up for a week ago.I posted last night on yes crowd after some info about upgrading to the $55.00 plan with 25% discount ($41.25)as I to had been told you can’t upgrade to this plan without incurring a termination fee.An Optus moderator got me to private message him and he processed the plan change from the 35 plan to the 55 plan immediately,it kicked in today.Provided you move upward in the same plan family there will be no fees.

    • mickmcmahon67 on 31/12/2018 - 08:57

      I was just able to add a $25.00 12 month sim only plan to this current deal,also got a 10 dollar discount for second service.So all up $56.25 a month for 2 services sharing 113gb of data

      yep.

      I think when you go thru the purchase process it gives you a screen with this info.

      But hey….in 12 months time who's to say the offers aren't going to be better?

      • bowtiehoon on 01/01/2019 - 13:33

      The discount actually continues on for another 12 months if you dont change your plan.

      When I signed up - my email said "We're just confirming that you've added 25% discount for 24 months"

      I was like huh 24months? So I asked the Chat while I was still on and asked about it and this is their reply. "If you didn't change the plan after 12months the discount will continue for next 12 months"

      • bowtiehoon on 02/01/2019 - 23:43

    Thanks OP, and thanks to the commenters suggesting a phone call to waive the cancellation fee.

    I was told on the phone that I'd have to pay the cancellation fee, having only contracted on the $35 plan on October. I said that I did not want to pay a cancellation fee, and had been told that I could upgrade, as long as I paid no more money. I said that if they didn't upgrade me and get more money from me each month, I'd just stay on the cheaper plan. I was polite but firm in my request. They put me on hold, then came back and did the upgrade for me.

    Now, to figure out what on earth to do with an 80GB plan, when I was only using about 10GB before! ;)
