A current promotion by HN.
Sign up a contract with Optus and you get a lcd tv for an extra $24/m ($45/m (the chepeast plan out there) for the mobile phone).
total cost is $1,896 over 24 months
The tv itself cost around $400 to $500
Optus $79 plan includes:
$900 worth of calls;
3GB Data2
Unlimited standard SMS and MMS5 to Australian GSM mobiles (excl. Pivotel);
Unlimited3 access within Australia to Facebook®, Twitter®, LinkedIn, MySpace, eBay and Foursquare within Australia.
Don't think is such a good deal, you are better of getting the $59/m deal with optus with 2 months free
You get $750 worth of calls and 2Gb the rest is the same as $79 plan
Then you buy your own TV, not a HN reject
its a samsung LCD TV
That's not very good.. =/
Extra $24 per month x 24 = $576. You said in your post that the TV only costs $400-500…
576 and bundling it with a phone to get this TV, definitely pass. Phone deal seems just average.
Do the calculations. OP, how is this a deal exactly?
this would be a good deal for someone who uses their mobile phone to make a lot of calls up to the value of $900. maybe it is not for you.
I don't get it. What kind of LCD TV worths $600 today? Not to mention the value of the TV depreciates very quick as well.
What's the big deal? That's $30 per month more than the Voda unlimited deal, which bring the additional 24 month cost to $720. For a 32" TV?? You can buy a 42" LED Smart TV from LG for $690 (today's paper). A 32" TV unbranded = under $349 and about $100 more for a Sony Bravia
What a crap deal… Sick of these GSII deals…
Don't worry. By this time next week we'll see all the iPhone 5 deals.
What brand and model TV is it?
