Spreets are offering the Amaysim Unlimited Sim for $10

Includes unlimited talk, text, social networking and 4GB data.

Could be worth getting it if you just need a month of data.

Amaysim is on the Optus network.

  • Just $10 for an amaysim UNLIMITED pack, comprising a SIM card with one month of amaysim UNLIMITED, plus delivery, normally $42! Includes:
  • One month of amaysim UNLIMITED
  • Unlimited standard national talk for the 30 days
  • Unlimited standard national text for the 30 days
  • Unlimited national access to social networks for the 30 days
  • 4GB of included data – its SIM can be used for tethering, which means you could wirelessly share the Internet with your laptop on capable mobile handsets
  • Free delivery!
  • The best “unlimited” mobile plan in the market – it truly is “unlimited” for standard national talk, text and access to social networks
  • No lock-in contracts - it lasts 30 days, so they simply say it is a 30-day commitment!
  • You can bring your existing phone number or choose a new one
  • Powered by the Optus 3G network, covering 97% of the Australian population
  • The new-generation SIM card is also iPhone and iPad compatible
    amaysim describes itself as the first genuine premium quality/low-cost mobile service provider in the Australian telco market, where it’s positioned itself among the big guys, like Telstra, Optus, Voda and Virgin

  • Nicely, it has a 100% Australian-based customer service centre

  • No lock-in contracts PLUS you can keep your current number!

Description taken from undercut's previous Amaysim posting and Spreets.

Important notes/answers from last deal: 1 per customer, this is prepaid not postpaid, after first month it is $40/month, it appears it is a normal sim but can be broken into a microsim, Optus network appears to better than Vodafone, sim must be activated by Dec 21, 13,15 and 18; premium SMS; and international calls and SMS; and video calling are extra (not included in unlimited), you only need to use it for 1 month- throw it away afterwards or continue at the regular price

      It's funny that you are trying to explain the rules of posting to the Mod. However, in your defence, the mod tag doesn't come up against neil's name in the post. Actually, I wonder why not when a Rep's tag can appear in the postings, why not a Mod's?

      • neil on 18/11/2011 - 16:23

        Not really necessary IMO. A mod's deals should be on the same level as user's. No special treatment. In fact, the mod tag probably shouldn't be on any comments unless it is moderation issue but that's another issue.

  • winsondx on 18/11/2011 - 15:21

    what happen after 30days???

    • neil on 18/11/2011 - 15:32

      As mentioned above, you can throw it away or continue on the plan at $40 a month.

    • moocher on 18/11/2011 - 15:39

      I wonder if you could use this deal for the UNLIMITED plan for 30 days, then switch to the amaysim 'AS YOU GO' plan. :P That would be awesome.

      • gtko on 18/11/2011 - 18:15

        I bought the cudo $10 the last time round, topped up another $10 (for international calls), and was automatically converted to the 'AS YOU GO' plan when the month was up. The leftover credit is valid for 3 months.

  • elcheapoinoz on 18/11/2011 - 15:23

    since it's prepaid I guess your credit expires?

    • superforever on 18/11/2011 - 15:26

      And you have to recharge with the normal price.

      All new Sims will come with a number, but you're always allowed to port your old number over.

    do u know if optus still allow to call mobile number that allow free international call? like this company http://www.freecallfree.com/

    • bob19 on 18/11/2011 - 20:08

      Yes, they do. I am with Optus and frequently use international calling card, where I dial local number and then make international call.

        thats not what i mean mate, check the link that posted

        • bob19 on 18/11/2011 - 22:14

          Ah. Sorry, didn't check the link.
          Just tried to call the number provided in the above link and it says that the calls to this number are not available.

        • joannatan on 18/11/2011 - 23:13

          yeah because i remember read about optus banned to call that provide free service to redirect the call to overseas

        • xotic on 20/11/2011 - 00:14

          You can try www.ozicall.com. They have recently found a way to use a 1300 number to make this work for Optus as well.

        • joannatan on 20/11/2011 - 10:04

    Good deal. Great for mates who are coming in Australia for holiday.

    One per person unless you're getting it as a 'gift'.

    Also check out the Woolworths Mobile deal:

    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/56674

    $12.60 (with everyday rewards card) for 5gb of data and some credit (not sure how much). Not a bad deal too. There are microsim versions and regular SIM.

  • phobaphobic on 18/11/2011 - 18:15

    But Optus. Barely any reception, and if there is (in very rare cases) it is saturated.

  • POWERevolution on 18/11/2011 - 18:28

    Is there any credit for international?

    • ReSublimity on 18/11/2011 - 22:20

      you gotta purchase more credit if you want international calls/SMS.

    Optus is even worse than Vodafail where I live and work…

        Fair enough if you are after a burn sim.

    Do I need to give my credit card details when registering?

    And do I need to give something like 30-day advance notice to terminate etc.?

    If answer is yes to both, then it is technically challenging to enjoy just 1 month free service then exit without having to pay the first $40 due, I think.

    • retiredfeline on 19/11/2011 - 12:08

      IIRC from the previous deal you only need proof of identity, e.g. a passport will do.

  • ozy2000 on 19/11/2011 - 11:34

    SIM card must be activated by 21/12/11, once activated, the 30 days UNLIMITED plan commences.

    amaysim UNLIMITED is renewed and billed every 30 days. You’re free to cancel at any time which will result in the forfeiting of any remaining prepaid balance.

    The $39.90 plan includes 30 days of unlimited standard national calls and text messages, unlimited national access to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, foursquare, eBay LinkedIn and 4GB of data.

    do i just go the amaysim website to place the order for the unlimited sim and then on check out just enter the voucher details?

        By the way, i bought 2 vouchers 1 for my brother and 1 for my colleague but i only received 1 sim today so i should receive another sim pretty soon right?

  • chadiwrx on 24/11/2011 - 15:30

    I just received this from the postie. It came in a A4 letter with a sim card attached, no retail packaging. Thanks OP!

  • mrjazzieb on 26/11/2011 - 18:56

    When I go to activate it, it says the plan is "amaysim AS YOU GO" and no data is attached to the plan. It's asking for my credit card details. I haven't proceeded anything further than that as I plan to call amaysim customer service tomorrow to find out why the plan is different than what was sold to us by spreets.

    Has anyone activated their amaysim SIM card yet? How was the process for you?

    • mrjazzieb on 26/11/2011 - 18:57

      Plus I have no idea if we have to use the voucher codes from spreets. I tried it in the payment method section but it says it is invalid.

      • chadiwrx on 26/11/2011 - 21:33
        +1

        Mine said the same thing "amaysim AS YOU GO" before I finished the process of activating.
        But once I finished the activation process it changed to "amaysim UNLIMITED"

        I registered my details, Then I got an e-mail to finish off the activation process.
        The e-mail states

        Here’s what you need to do to activate your amaysim SIM – easy!

        Quick ID check (60 seconds)

        Gather 1 primary piece of ID or 2 secondary pieces¸ then log in to my amaysim:

        Examples of Primary ID (1 needed)

        • Australian driver’s license

        • Passport

        • Birth Certificate

        Examples of Secondary ID (2 needed)

        • Credit card

        • Medicare card

        Btw I did all this without providing my credit card details

    Hi guys,

    I bought this voucher but don't really know how to activate it. it came from the post mail. I followed the instructions to activate the deal on amaysim website but when I input my voucher code, it says invalid? Am i suppose to print this voucher from spreets and hand it to a local supermarket store to exchange for a prepaid card??? any help would do, thx.

    • neil on 08/12/2011 - 14:50

      LOL, Definitely don't hand it into to your supermarket. You don't need to enter your voucher code, you need to enter

      The ICCID number (it's on the back of your SIM pack)

      Instructions are pretty clear, https://www.amaysim.com.au/my-account/buy/retail-unlimited?i…

      • Datatemp on 12/12/2011 - 22:52

        Hi, i ran into the same prob as hotchili, i did enter the ICCID number at the start and i have chosen to port my number over and when i reached the payment options tab was prompted to enter the voucher number and voucher code is invalid. btw, i selected pre-paid as the payment option, should i choose bpay instead to complete the registration? I am totally confused with this spreet voucher code/number thingy!!!
        please help
        thanks in advance

        • neil on 12/12/2011 - 23:41

          Vouchers mean vouchers from 7/11 or the supermarket. You have to select either BPAY or credit card.

  • Datatemp on 13/12/2011 - 07:50

    oh ok, thanks

  • Datatemp on 19/12/2011 - 20:45

    more prob, i am still trying to activate the sim, after i entered all the details for ID check, i received this message "Good news! You're just 1 step away from being able to use your new amaysim SIM. Please make your required BPAY payment to activate your account. " Now, what payment? i thought the system would just recognise the ICCID number and that is it?
    arghh, please help.

    • neil on 19/12/2011 - 20:50

      It's probably easier if you just contact Amaysim. They should sort things out.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/12/2011 - 21:40

    Just dawned that I was reading the old Amaysim offer thread…
    When I activated credit was not applied either. Amaysim girl referred to a list of people who had taken up the offer and applied the one month credit. You would think they would have fixed things for the current offer, but it seems not …
