$180 online price, but you get a $60 discount if you buy in-store making it $120, according to the radio ad I heard this morning. Excellent value for unlimited calls and texts with 60GB data over 365 days. Ad also says activate SIM within 30 days. Should also be eligible for Optus Perks.

            @tenryu:

            DATA ROLLOVER
            Up to 50GB when you recharge before expiry.

            oh that's no good if you don't use all of your 60GB and just saving it for a rainyday…kinda forces you to use at least 10GB on your first year and all of it on your next recharge and thereafter since you have a max bank of 50GB…..

    Good deal, it's equal to $10 per month with 5gb per month, it also has international roaming and data rollover. Just found out this is starter pack, hopefully it has long expire date on the starter pack.

    • oldrocker on 24/01/2019 - 09:00
      +1

      Has international roaming? That's handy!

      • hellwolf on 24/01/2019 - 09:05

        You can get a $10 pack which is valid for 14 days or a $20 pack which is valid for 28 days. Calls, text and data are charged based on which zone the country is in. I think it can be as low as $1/min up to $4/min.

    • chewkl on 24/01/2019 - 09:10
      +1

      Ad says activate within 30 days from purchase, so I'm not sure if this takes precedence over the expiry date on the pack.

  • hellwolf on 24/01/2019 - 08:54

    Currently on the Coles Mobile 365 day $180 for 42GB plan that I bought last February. This Optus plan is much better value giving an additional 18GB. I can't get to an Optus store until Tuesday, will be interesting to see if it is all Optus stores that have this for $120 instead of $180.

    • deltakilo on 24/01/2019 - 15:58

      You'll need to port over to another provider first.
      I'm on Coles as well and tried to get girls in shop to do in-store shifty and get me ported over without having to faff around going to different provider only to then port back to this offer.
      Thus - you need to be with different provider Telstra/Voda in order to be deemed "new customer" and make their computer system happy.

      • SnoozeAndLose on 21/02/2019 - 20:29

        Port from Amaysim to catch, both use optus. No issue at all

  • FindMeADeal on 24/01/2019 - 08:54

    hmm… good deal… now the only thing stopping me is at-least 20 different starter packs I have hoarded through various $10/$8 deals.

    • Skinnerr on 24/01/2019 - 10:18

      Be careful with that. A user on whirlpool was banned by telstra and optus for 'fraud' I.e constantly swapping from one starter pack to another.

      If you do it enough times you will show up on the radar.

        • Skinnerr on 24/01/2019 - 13:21

      • lgacb08 on 24/01/2019 - 11:11

        Only if you are too lazy to port existing number and activate hundred of these starter packs under new phone number each time then discard the used sim

    • lawyerz on 24/01/2019 - 10:19

      lol me too. damn it.

  • PcisT on 24/01/2019 - 09:00

    What happens after the 365 days is up usually with these plans? Do you have to port out before it ends to keep your number?

    • hellwolf on 24/01/2019 - 09:03
      +1

      You can either recharge on the same plan, change to another Optus prepaid plan or port out.

    • Skinnerr on 24/01/2019 - 10:25
      +2

      If you're asking whether your number dies they after the plan finishes then no, they give you a grace period (varies from telco to telco). Aldi gives you 120 days to either recharge or port out. After that 120 days the number is disconnected and eventually put back into the pool of available numbers.

      Also with aldi at least you can still receive calls/texts, just can't make them.

        • Skinnerr on 24/01/2019 - 10:27

          That's usually the case if your details don't match up and they have to manually investigate.

        • Do I NeedThis on 24/01/2019 - 11:39

          Mine took 3 days plus 40 minutes on the phone transferring from Telstra to Optus.

        • [Deactivated] on 24/01/2019 - 12:29

          Did your old sim, continue to work until the port was completed?
          I have over 15 days left on 1 month postpaid with amaysim $10 mth plan.
          This deal is good enough IMO, that it is OK to lose (risk losing) those few days, and have an active service up until time porting is completed.
          Active service until porting is completed is essential, for my needs.

      • ChitChatTing on 24/01/2019 - 12:29

        You can only do this at the $180 price. The in-store discount is only available to 'new customers'/'new numbers'

  • tellhimhesdreaming on 24/01/2019 - 09:57
    +4

    Ignoring any other benefits Optus has or service differences, I think discounted Belong sims are still a better deal for $ per data/month? Albeit with a bit of stuffing around.

    If you buy 2 of the $40 sims for $13.50 (as per recent mobileciti deal) and use an OzB referral to start, and then refer yourself with your second sim you can get 60-62GB of data up front and $40 of credit on your main number. By then changing to the $10 a month plan your first 4 months are covered with credit and you only need to pay for 8 months ($80) so after 12 months total you have only spent $107 and you will have had 70 odd gig of data.

    This becomes an gets even better deal if you buy 3 or more belong sims up front and keep the chain going, or top up your main sim with a referral (max of 10 per number) any time they're on sale.

    /Bargain overkill

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 24/01/2019 - 10:04

      But then you need to have 3 different phone numbers over 12months?

      • tellhimhesdreaming on 24/01/2019 - 10:05
        +3

        Nah, you keep your primary sim - and with Belong you can gift data between numbers.

        So you just get throwaway numbers for the referral bonus credit and sign up data and then cancel those accounts once you've transferred the data.
