    Optus network. Good deal though.

        Whenever someone uses a term like floptus, it immediately decreases their point.

        What a load of rubbish. I live in Melbourne and yet to find a place Optus doesn't have coverage. There is a place indoors I know of without reception (inside South Yarra Woolworths) but neither, does Telstra have signal in this store.
        I agree with others, when you start with the old 'floptus' line, you've totally lost all credibility with your comments.

        • knk on 04/10/2020 - 11:36

          Depends where you are. Also in Melbourne and Optus is usable for the most part but there are certainly dead spots where Telstra have coverage and Optus don't.

          I've also had issues with clients where Telstra 4G is rock solid and Optus drops in and out (No NBN available) - I've also experienced the exact opposite where Optus excel and Telstra don't.

          Claims that Optus are useless everywhere are just silly though. Sure your house may be a dead spot, but that doesn't mean the entire network is trash.

          Optus I found suck interns of overselling their network are poor. There's spots where the internet data speed is always atrocious. I've given up with optus for now.

          I live 20km from the Brisbane CBD and we only get patchy Optus coverage. You can't make a phone call from the back half of our house on Optus. Only Telstra has a tower on this side of the hill.

        • C0mbat on 04/10/2020 - 15:51

          A large part of my suburb (Lilyfield), which is only 4km from Sydney CBD struggles with Optus. They even admitted that they have terrible service there when I moved here. Telstra on the other hand gets perfect reception.

    • morgs640 on 04/10/2020 - 19:31

    Boost mobile still cheaper with annual pack having free international calls to 25 countries and on Telstra network. For data lovers this might be better.

    • Kanjus on 04/10/2020 - 07:16

      Indeed, but no contract here so you can churn after 8 months for $120 total which is not paid as a lump sum.

      • TheLurker on 04/10/2020 - 12:31

        I would take that Boost deal any day, but in my house in metro Gold Coast phone gets 3/4 bars Vodafone, 2/4 bars Optus and 0-1/4 bars Telstra. This deal looks decent as an alternative

  • Italkdigital on 04/10/2020 - 04:24

    Looks like part of Optusbusual zone 1 countries are listed partly but big price difference from Optus themselves

    Big Question: like Optus does one get charged $10 per gb going over there data limit inclusions? Bonus if it just stops or speed limited though i doubt very much this would be the case, im guessing this is a post paid plan?

    • Nousernamehere on 04/10/2020 - 09:01

      Scroll down, it’s right there on the same page that the deal is linked to…

      • What happens when I run out of data?
      Unlike many plans on the market which charges excess data at $10 per GB block, E.Tel’s Big Data Plan only charges excess data at a fair rate of $0.01 per MB (billed in KB increments). e.g. If your excess data is 200 MB (0.2GB), it will only cost $2, NOT $10.
      To avoid excess usage, try to connect to WiFi wherever it is available and check your usage at www.etel.com.au/account regularly

        cause postpaid can give a bill shock.

        • spaceflight on 04/10/2020 - 14:39

          Everything on this plan is unlimited except data.
          You can set data usage alerts on your phone so you know when you are getting close and not have bill shock

            @spaceflight: International calls and texts are not unlimited as they are on similarly priced plans (e.g. Aldi, Boost, Lebara). That's a deal breaker for me.

      • FutureTech on 04/10/2020 - 15:26

        Credit check for starters, then they can take your money without permission as they see fit and you're gonna have a hard time chasing up for refunds.

  • amsaini15 on 04/10/2020 - 11:21

    Perfect deal for me. Coming off Boost in Nov and this is much cheaper if you just dont unlimited international calls.

  • alphawolf on 04/10/2020 - 12:21

    How much you have to pay upfront to order the sim? And can we port from optus to their network and retain our existing phone number?

    • amsaini15 on 04/10/2020 - 12:48

      "Free Delivery
      We will send the SIM card to you via Australia Post for free. However if you need it urgently, we also offer an express post service with a small charge."

      Sim is free delivery but they xharge $15 per month fees when ordering sim.

      • PuppieWayne on 04/10/2020 - 15:13

        "Sim is free delivery but they xharge $15 per month fees when ordering sim."

        Strange practise. Means if you just order but never actually end up using it, they've pocket $15..

        • amsaini15 on 04/10/2020 - 15:34

          Yes. I was thinking the same. But I will still go for it.

  • John Stone on 04/10/2020 - 12:51

    Keep in mind that they charged excess data fees if you go over the 25GB.

    Unlike many plans on the market which charges excess data at $10 per GB block, E.Tel’s Big Data Plan only charges excess data at a fair rate of $0.01 per MB (billed in KB increments). e.g. If your excess data is 200 MB (0.2GB), it will only cost $2, NOT $10.

    • Headless on 05/10/2020 - 09:28

      I still get stung if i go over my telstra data $10 for 1GB - "we can't turn that feature off…" - my hate is on for greedy Telstra - as the app doesn't update 100%, by the time I realise I've already been charged - so I can't use all my data allowance for fear of being charged another $10… grr

  • sagrgar on 04/10/2020 - 13:36

    Anybody still on Circles.life? I'm tempted to switch to this one. Cheaper, more data, international calls. But I heard porting out from circles is a hassle.

    • szy2k on 04/10/2020 - 13:48

      I ported out from Circles on the 1st of Oct to that JB 500 voucher deal and it took around 8 hours for the porting to be completed, which was far more waiting time for me as my previous port out and in with other Carriers almost happen instantly, other than that, no complaint.

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 04/10/2020 - 14:09

      I ported out back around when they launched (after their 1 month offer) and it was instant for me.

    • Headless on 05/10/2020 - 09:29

      I bought a Amaysim sim card, activated in very quickly, then 2 days later activated circles - took overnight but works perfectly fine.

    No voicemail service by default. (Activation required?)
    No call waiting service.(Activation required?)
    MMS charged at 10c extra incoming and outgoing.(need to activate by calling them, disabled by default)
    5 days outage on your SIM if you are transferring your number(might take longer).
    No app or data usage monitor.(still can restrict it via phone though)

    Using this for about a month now.
    The first 3 is pissing me off. Customer service seems to be alright though.

    • machej on 04/10/2020 - 16:42

      Outage shouldn't happen if you transfer from Telstra or Vodafone sim first.

      Voicemail goes to MMS recording which is great IMO.

      Call waiting I have still.

      • ozhunter68 on 05/10/2020 - 14:38

        "machej" What do you mean "voicemailgoes to MMS"? you mean SMS maybe?

          No, MMS. It's an SMS with audio recording in it. (Ie. A multi media SMS)

          • ozhunter68 on 05/10/2020 - 15:45

            @machej: Thanks for clear explanation. I actually prefer those "call catcher type" messages to Voicemail anyway.

            Still on the fence for this deal as I'm not sure I want Optus reception whils on the road, maybe my Aldi/Part Telstra

            Network will not be much better. Giving up free MMS in/out for extra 22gb data both for $15 per month. Don't use lot's

            of data on my main number calling/txt use phone, prefer using a second phone for data internet so keep battary full.

            No need for international calls currently. Hmm

    • amsaini15 on 04/10/2020 - 17:56

      What do you mean by 5 days outage? I will changing from Boost. So my service will be out for 5 days when porting to E. Tel.

      • Oneshot on 04/10/2020 - 18:23

        That is what I got told over the phone with their customer support, well at least their customer support was good.

        • machej on 04/10/2020 - 18:25
          +1

          No, your service should work with Boost until they port it over which may take 5 days. It should be minimal downtime.

        • amsaini15 on 04/10/2020 - 18:29

          Thats strange. 5 days is alot. I will email them to confirm as well.

          • open4highway on 05/10/2020 - 01:26

            @amsaini15: Shouldn't take 5 days at all.. We usually port them in Optus network in 3 hours after the schedule..

      There warning over data sms are over 48hr late and there on line app also. So hard to manage data usage if you want to use the full allocated limit.

    Keep in mind that porting to E.Tel and keeping your own number can take 3 to 7 days. Many reviews on Google are 1/5 stars for poor service. But I suppose you get what you pay for.

  • MR-AM on 06/10/2020 - 09:57

    I used them for about 2 months…. My only issue was the number porting took more than 5 days!

    Pretty no frills, 25 GB of data is pretty good for $15 PM.

    • chuckallstarz on 17/10/2020 - 12:37

      Were you out of service for 5 days or is the down-time very small but the porting takes 5 days?

      • machej on 17/10/2020 - 15:38
        -1

        Porting took 5 days, not out of service. It's always best to port from a different provider to avoid complications. If you use Optus now, port to a $2 Vodafone sim first and then port to Etel to ensure it's automated rather than an internal Optus port.
