Amaysim has dropped first renewal pricing across all its unlimited 28-day plans, whilst increasing data as well. Unless I'm mistaken, the data increases appear to be a permanent change. The 50/65/80GB plans include international to 28+ countries. Please stay safe, and enjoy :)

  • Unlimited talk/text & 2GB data $5 - (was 1GB for $10)
  • Unlimited talk/text & 8GB data for $7 - (was 5GB for $20)

      With cashback, you only pay 30% of the 1st renewal, e.g. $2.7 for 50GB plan.

          plus they start your data usage from when you sign up not a week later when the sim arrives in the mail which is abit dodgy.
          sure u can spend 10 mins on chat and they willcredit u but u shouldnt have to complain to get what u paid for. bit of a ripoff

            @Garagesale: Just say you are porting when signing up. Doesn't mean you actually have to port, it's just a way to stop the problem.

            @Garagesale: Not in my experience:-

            Hi, we noticed you've only just started using your amaysim SIM, so we've restarted your plan date so you get the most out of your plan.

          • Failbike on 02/11/2020 - 11:27

            @Garagesale: I've started 2 sims with these guys a few months apart, both times they reset my renewal date after I activated the sim. The first sim was activated 3 weeks after ordering, the other 1 week.
            I didn't have to contact them.

        • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2020 - 19:40

          Yeah I'd never connect with any telco that only does 28 day plans. For a long term offer without stuffing about shifting from provider to provider, nothing beats the Catch Connect deal, 365 days, 120GB for $120. (if 10GB a month is suitable for you).

  • vchoy on 01/11/2020 - 09:49

    First renewal only! - Remember to cancel auto recharge once activated.

    • Ryk on 01/11/2020 - 10:01

      First renewal, so cancel auto re-charge on day 29+?

  • Neoika on 01/11/2020 - 09:52

    It means the $30 starter pack bought before has 50GB for the 1st renewal, too.

    • djoz on 01/11/2020 - 10:09
      +1

      Yup, exactly. Any $30 plan activation will now get us 50GB. I think a much needed jump based on how users consume data now.

  • Ryk on 01/11/2020 - 10:00

    The purchase is also seems discounted, so this is two months (2x28 days)?

    Was just going to post this!
    Nice post TA. Interesting to note the permanent data increases. $30 now gets you 50GB.

    And Long expiry 1 year is down to $150 with 120GB data. No international inclusions though.

    Yes the permanent data increases are for any existing users as well. If I go to change plan, I see 50GB for $30 now.

  • HecticCrunt on 01/11/2020 - 10:12

    50gb plan now better value than Kogan 40gb ~$28 a month.

    • djoz on 01/11/2020 - 10:15
      +12

      I thought people only take the following with Kogan:
      $ 0.99 or $ 4.90 / 30 days - 40GB
      $ 9.90 or 14.90 / 90 days - 60GB

      Never heard of anyone here using the regular month to month Kogan Plans.

      • HecticCrunt on 01/11/2020 - 11:59

        I believe Kogan is best value without constant porting for a 50ish gig plan? Would be happy to be proven wrong though.

        • dv1den on 01/11/2020 - 21:37

          • UrMumsOnlyFan on 01/11/2020 - 12:33

            @OldBugger: Just keeping buying new SIMs (whether it's Kogan, Catch, Amaysim or anyone else). If it's only for data it doesn't matter that it's a new phone number every time.

            • jeeg on 01/11/2020 - 13:19

              @UrMumsOnlyFan: Hi mate I just checked..Catch and Amaysim both do not have a plan similar to the Kogan $15 for 90 days (for new customer). After 90 days on the Kogan plan how do I continue to reload the $15 90 days plan? Do I need to first port out? If so which is cheapest sim plan to port to?

                @jeeg: Keep monitoring OzBargain for deals, there are usually more than enough between Kogan, Catch and Amaysim (for example this one today). Potentially others as well, though I would suggest avoiding Ovo.

                Doesn't matter if they're 30 day or 90 day as long as you're organised and have a new one ready to go before the current one ends. Just keep track of when they have to be activated by.

                  Ealier this year Amaysim bought the Ovo customer base and transferred all their customers over honoring their Ovo plan. My daughter is getting 3GB/mo for $9.95. It annoys me that I was on Amaysim 1GB/mo for $10 and she gets more data for 5c less. lol

                    @brendanb: Didn't know that. Last time I had Ovo (about two years ago), the SIM didn't work in USB modems and was useless to me.

                    Is there any use for Ovo fan points?

          Kogan $4.90/40GB/30 days: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/543472

          1. Place order. Don't forget Cashrewards. Activation code soon arrives in your inbox.
          2. Buy a spare $2 SIM from a garage like 7/11. Activate this SIM using the code.
          3. Setup your account and turn off auto billing.
          4. About 7-10 days later the Kogan SIM arrives. Keep it ready to do the same thing next time.
          5. When SIM 1 is nearly out of data goto step 1 and order another. Use the next code to activate SIM 2 from step 4.
          • Neoika on 01/11/2020 - 14:05

            @[Deactivated]: Cashrewards do not work for existing Kogan customers for most of time, probably only 1 day per month. Better to collect some Qantas points.

              +1

              @jeeg: Yes, but no. They will expire by the end of this year if you don't activate.

              So, you can buy it by The $4.90 offer ends 30/11/20

              But,

              The voucher expires on 31/12/20. Last day to activate.

            • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2020 - 00:45

              @jeeg: No, they'll edit and advance that date by a couple of months about a week or two before it expires. A search on ozbargain shows it's been available for a few years (only with less data the further back you go). You can buy as many as you need though. But you can only buy one SIM per order. So you have to place one order, then another, etc. Oh and I think you can only order 5 SIMs using the same payment method in the same month. So if you want to order 6 SIMs you'd have for number 6 using a different method like Paypal, another bank account etc.

              You can place multiple orders. But unless you know you'll need that many that soon, there's no need to. As before, just buy 1 (or more) $2 blank SIMs from a garage, or add extra SIM/s onto the Kogan order during checkout. They email you the activation code soon after paying. So you can use that code to activate a spare Kogan SIM you already have. (You don't have to wait several days for the SIM you just ordered to come in the mail.)

              • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2020 - 01:03

                @[Deactivated]: The code is what expires too, not the SIM cards. So if you place 5 orders today but only activated 4 codes by Dec 31, then on 1st Jan you would not be able to activate a SIM using code 5. That code will have expired. That's another reason not to buy too many in advance.

              • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2020 - 01:22

                @[Deactivated]: Grrrrr that was s'posed to say: " So if you want to order 6 SIMs you'd have TO PAY for number 6 using a different method like Paypal, another bank account etc."

    • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2020 - 01:32

      There's this now too. For the first month anyway…. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/577724

      Just have to find out how to turn off auto billing so they don't charge $30 for the second month. IIRC I think you can set Amaysim to auto-charge your Paypal instead of giving them your credit card. Login to Paypal a week later and turn off auto payments. When they go to bill you for month 2 it won't go through so they'll deactivate the SIM. If the deal is still around buy again next month. Or look elsewhere again.

    Honestly, these guys have got it just about spot on - treat existing customers really well, decent network on Optus, basically the only thing I have to ever do is watch my PayPal payment zip out each month. Easier to be an Amaysim customer than Netflix, an amazing value too…

  • easternculture on 01/11/2020 - 13:50

    • djoz on 01/11/2020 - 14:38

      Similar thoughts. Coles $150 plan, if on offer (any) would be the cheapest with international calls. I guess so it is currently also the cheapest with international calls included.

      A huge let down with Coles / Amaysim is that they dont offer call conferencing. I've used conferencing with Lebara (Vodafone) and Boost (Telstra). Is the non-availability of conferencing an "Optus" thing?

    • roonie on 01/11/2020 - 14:51

    Timely.
    I needed to find my wife a filler provider between her Kogan plan expiring and waiting for her new Woolworths 12 month plan to arrive. She bought a $2 Woolworths SIM but they can't transfer the plan to it until the other one is despatched next week. Might be 10-20 days before the Woolworths SIM arrives. Also I didn't want to see you the $20 Cashrewards credit for the Woolworths plan. Got a $2 Amaysim SIM at a very busy Chadstone shopping centre yesterday. The port took only 10 minutes.
    Kogan give her just 2 days notice her 90 day plan was ending and I'd forgotten to set a reminder.

  • DesolateApophic on 28/12/2020 - 23:07

    Might go from the JB Telstra $45/m 50gig to the $40 option.. cheaper and more data
