$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.

        17:30ish…I was told the same, but then she said let me check and they had a few…

  • jassssone on 30/01/2019 - 21:07

    Is the new stock show 365 days on the package? As old ones show 180 days?.

    • netsurfer on 30/01/2019 - 23:07

      It doesn't matter what the package says, the key part is it must be a $180 SIM. Currently, for a $180 SIM, you can activate the 365 days plan. However, Optus won't guarantee that plan will be available until Oct 2020 - hence they are asking people to activate soon (i.e. within 30 days).

  • manhinli on 30/01/2019 - 21:17

    New stock arrived at Garden City, QLD. Got one today.

    Packaging has "60GB 6 months expiry" wraparound over a $180 Prepaid Mobile Phone SIM, but the item on the receipt is listed as "Optus Prepaid 365Day Voice SIM".

    Bought a sim for my daughter to port from kogan. Online page kept cycling between the pages of activation and port/new number. Daughter decided to contact online customer service, and was activated with a brand new number without asking whether to port or not. And even worse, CS fooled her saying this sim cannot port existing number, to do this we needed to buy a $2 sim from the shop.

    Once again it's proved Optus is crap, not worth all the hastle at all. Should have paid $30 more to continue with Kogan.

    Now on the way to fix/complaint, and there is no helpline CS on duty ATM :(

    • Cheeper on 31/01/2019 - 02:19

      Update to my previous post.

      The 2nd day we went to store. Store rep was very helpful and admitted straight away that the online chat support had not done the right thing. With his help we eventually get the old number ported over successfully.

      Sometimes it's luck, depends on who is on the peer side.

    CBD Optus store had stock yesterday… Although they did make me wait 25 minutes…

  • RubenM on 31/01/2019 - 10:09

    Stock at Parramatta Westfield, but they won't give it to you unless you activate it there and then.
    I tried asking for the manager and arguing, no luck.
    What you can do though is to have a time for the activation scheduled. If you give an incorrect birth date then I would assume the activation doesn't go through and you can activate it later over the phone. Just a working theory though.

    Got the last one from North Syd yesterday. Also went to Macquarie centre and it appears they have plenty. Just ported number from Aldi and it took only a few minutes even though I did it outside business hours. Pleasantly surprised!

      Yes, Randwick NSW store the same.
      Need to activate before end of promotion.
      They gave me the Prepaid 60GB/180 day starter kit but it scanned as 365 days.

      They also suggested bringing it instore to activate if you are porting your phone number as Optus customer service have just been allocating a new phone number upon activation as some have complained here.

      • slowFTL on 01/02/2019 - 12:26

        Good advice on activating instore, thanks. I have the same 60Gb/180days kit but the receipt shows 365 days. I did tell the girl there may be a rush on the kits as this is one of the better deals going at the moment lol.

      • Galaxyman on 01/02/2019 - 17:26

        More crappy Optus "customer service". Can't even do a port in correctly. Go figure. I'm getting a good NBN package with them with 6 months to go. $80 for Fetch TV, all the channels and a free speed boost to 100/40 mbps but it's been a overly painful experience getting it all going, lots of arguing with them to get the deal I negotiated on chat - with all the evidence kept by me - and getting the billing corrected on many occasions. If the price goes up at the end of the contract I'll buy myself a Fetch box (which works well) and get a data plan with aussie broadband or similar and happily part ways with Optus after 19 years.

  • Galaxyman on 01/02/2019 - 17:21

    Anyone have an idea of stock at Chadstone or Knox Westfield in Victoria? My kids' Kogan month extension on the Small plan runs out tomorrow! At this stage if I buy them another Kogan month then I'll have to wait a week before buying an optus plan so we don't lose a week of the Kogan extension under the 30 day extension. Then with some luck we will get a Kogan BOGOF offer and Optus can then get stuffed! This lack of stock is ridiculaous and you can't reserve one either, at least not at Chadstone. They just say, "try again in a day or two when we may have received some more". Or not…..or they sell out again. Bah!!

    Scored one at camberwell yesterday (after getting past, "yes I know it says6 months" and " yes I know it says $180).
    Having said that, I checked the plan afterwards and it was set to something screwy (28days, 90gb) and online chat were hopeless so I went back to the store. Seemed to have been sorted overnight so finally all good. I had forgotten what joys telcos were to deal with. Many thanks to the OP and the other posters for their advice

    • vinna27 on 08/02/2019 - 22:52

      My Optus app is showing the 28 days 90gb too. Did the store do anything to fix it? Or did it fix itself overnight?

  • Galaxyman on 03/02/2019 - 11:31

    Stock at Knox Westfield store in Victoria yesterday afternoon,,,,finally got two for the kids and got the store staff to activate the cards and do the porting requests instore due to the Kogan plans expiring the same day. This morning I inserted the sims and both services had been ported. Note that I also got an SMS from Kogan on one of the new Optus sims that the non-active Kogan prepaid service had been auto-recharged this morning so I had to call Kogan mobile to get a refund. I can no longer log into either of the Kogan accounts this morning so the service had been terminated. Something to watch out for if you are porting in!

  • porkhui on 03/02/2019 - 11:32

    Cannot agree more that Optus CS lack of training and knowledge. On 3 separate occasion, I ported in 3 numbers from Kogan, Amaysim, Catch and at all ocassions, the porting just stuck and it couldn't be resolved by only one chat. Have to do at least 2 chat. At one occasion, the CS insisted that I have to supply account number even though I said I don't have one as I haven't connected and it is prepaid. Still not budging, so I ended the chat and redo with another person. More helpful, don't require account number, but still the porting wss not done until another chat. Gosh!

    Anyone know if this applies everywhere at every store?

    • BarginGrabber on 06/02/2019 - 19:22

      You mean Optus stores or like other stores like Coles?

      So, every Optus store…yes. Some don't have the 365 day ones, but rather the 6 month $180 cards. However, it will say $120 when they scan it and it will last 1 year (I can personally confirm this). Some of the stores don't know about the deal yet, so even if they tell you that they can't guarantee it, just ask them to scan it and if it says $120 than you're fine.

      I tried 2-3 Coles store and none of them seem to even have the standard 6 month $180 cards, no idea why.

      • HeWhoKnows on 11/02/2019 - 16:41

    • HeWhoKnows on 12/02/2019 - 17:44

      365 days Should show on your receipt. Mine does. Make sure you check it and keep it. Certainly when you activate the SIM you will get confirmation.
      But just check the Optus web site. Its all there.

    Can you port from Coles Mobile ( which is an Optus Sim anyway )
