    $65/month, not $65. Slight difference!

    • supacheap on 06/11/2020 - 11:54

      Yea agreed I rushed over thinking 65 over 12 months - should have known better lol

      With 20% regional discount. It gets down to $41.20 per month!

      and less $30 from cashback through SHOPBACK or CASHREWARDS.

      • oO0Dam0Oo on 06/11/2020 - 12:45

        Regional discounted price is the same as this deal unfortunately.

          go to checkout. it will show the final discounted price of $41.20. ($65 less 20% off from $119)

          or use this link to https://www.optus.com.au/mobile/plans/regional-offer

            • chunfat on 06/11/2020 - 14:26

              @GAMBOL: I don't think so, because I am able to get the extra 20% discount to $41.20 on the 500Gb plan with 10Gb roaming data.

                  +2

                  @cushydeskjob: Yes, It has disappeared, My current half filled in page is still active. So I finalised the application submission for $41.20 pm.

                  Now it is place with a "Temporary order number:". If they reject this application, then I guess it is just bad luck. (Also this re-validates my move away from them originally).

                  • cushydeskjob on 06/11/2020 - 16:01

                    @chunfat: I see the Regional Discount Offer is "N/A with other discount offers." Makes sense I guess. Best of luck.

                • chunfat on 06/11/2020 - 16:04
                  +2

                  @cushydeskjob: The temporary order got through, the optus sales agent called back to inform that my offer at $41.20 pm is not possible. However, They were able to apply the Optus One promo offer -$54, and the 20% regional discount of -$13 {calculated from ($119-$54)x0.2=$13}.

                  I should had executed this as soon as I saw this offer posted on here.

                  Anyway, final price for $52pm is good enough for me.

                  • RubberChicken on 06/11/2020 - 18:22

                    @chunfat: I was in the same situation, had selected this deal and the left the page and it was gone before I could check out.

        I wonder why discounts for regional?

        The speed is poor?

        • chunfat on 06/11/2020 - 13:56

          Not as good coverage as Telstra. But major regional cities like Shepparton has good enough coverage. So it is a bonus for people who are in "Not so regional" regional areas.

          Although, you do get a lot more dead spots while driving through the highway when compared to Telstra.

        • cushydeskjob on 06/11/2020 - 16:44

          Us country cousins have more dropouts and dead spots, slower speeds, no 5G compared to most of our city cousins.

      They are still building the 5G network, no weapons to fight back.

      • webtherapist on 06/11/2020 - 13:54

        they dont really need 5g, just higher bandwidth for 4g unlimited and they will get our money :)

        • linkii on 06/11/2020 - 15:02

          4g network will not be able to sustain it. They don't want people to hammer it.

      • Bundao on 07/11/2020 - 10:22

        I have a mobile for work with Telstra, have seen on speed tests 300Mbps + from it on just 4g. I can't see 5g being the issue, just the bandwidth and/or technological updates in the 4g lagging behind with other providers.
        My regular phone is with Optus and I struggle to get good speeds. Both phones are Samsung S10's.
        At home just now am seeing 40Mbpsfrom Optus download and 130 from Telstra. Crap uploads though. I live in the hills though.
        In other words, I would put 4g with Telstra as the winning factor if speed is factor when choosing a phone sim or account. 5g is just a bonus. Until it is widespread and proven to be reliably fast.

      I think they just did, the new $55 plan now has 500GB, used to be 200Gb I reckon.

      • saffy on 08/11/2020 - 09:49

        Can confirm!
        On Oct 29th when I looked it was $55 for 200GB, and is now $55 for 500GB

  • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2020 - 11:44

    This is actually really tempting. Optus haven't really offered any good deals in the past 12 months or so and I've been sussing out a data sim for my laptop… Currently playing 40/month for 100gb data, decisions decisions…

    • webtherapist on 06/11/2020 - 11:45

      check your average usage, if close to 100GB then jump to this, otherwise, keep saving :)

        Sensible. I like it.

      • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2020 - 11:48

        I often hit pretty close to the 100gb but my inner ozbargainer isn't sure about paying the extra. I wonder if they would let me apply student discount which would then make this sub-60/month.

    • codinghelloworld on 06/11/2020 - 12:03

      Last year they had the deal $40 to get 80GB. But I looked at my usage I did not use much so I switched to Boost for much more savings.

      Along a siilar line, what is the cheapest way to add a secondary, data only device to share data? I see the $15/month 10GB MBB plan. Would that be the cheapest?

      • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2020 - 12:31

        They used to have $0 data share sim which I've been using but don't think it takes new sign up now?

        • bunnybinbadger on 06/11/2020 - 12:44

          Thanks for the reply. Seems like $15 is the cheapest step in. Was looking at getting it plus a data sim to replace home internet and my mobile. Currently on $10 belong so it would net about $10/month more compared with getting $60/month NBN + belong.

          • nightelves on 06/11/2020 - 12:46

            @bunnybinbadger: I spoke to a customer service agent and they said they can reduce it down to $12 for an extra data sim but that's the lowest he was able to go.

        • monarocv8 on 06/11/2020 - 17:01

          I'm currently on the $59 plan with 5 of the $0 data share SIMs (I think it used to be the maximum).
          Anyone know if I move to this plan, can I keep the data share SIMs, or will they get cancelled? HAving to drop the data share SIMs would kill the value.

            • nightelves on 06/11/2020 - 12:33

              @wise penny: So I think the setup would be this. Modem with 5G sim for home internet and phone sim that you can carry around. The only concern for me is speed.

          • qq123456a on 06/11/2020 - 12:51

            @nightelves: I guess you will need a new modem to support 5g, but I am happy with 4g speed now, download like 10m/s on phones.

      • ESEMCE on 06/11/2020 - 13:33

        Depends on too many variables to answer Tower capabilities, modem capabilities, line of sight to tower/distance to tower, weather conditions and number of users accessing the tower.

        In my case, I have a dedicated 4G modem with roof mounted Antenna, and my speeds vary from 100/8 off-peak to 30/8 peak times.
        Compared to my FttN NBN which is 30/8 max possible. With a more advanced modem, I'd expect to see 50/20 minimums in peak.

        • nightelves on 06/11/2020 - 13:39

          Have you got a guide of your setup because I've heard you mentioned this a while ago and have always been interested. If you can extract 100mbps off 4G that is phenomenal.

      • Funky-munky on 06/11/2020 - 15:29

        If you live near an optus tower then you can get 200-400 mb speed but for home internet it depends on your modem. with older huawei modems you may get about 100/40 speed.

    I negotiated an Optus $30 sim only with 100gb no contract, discount applied for 2 years over the phone. I just told them Im was with amyasim 100gb for $30 and they matched it but they did no checking assides from porting me from amayasim! This is a good offer but id ask for minium 24 month no contract as 12 sucks and $119 is too much when for $70/75 you can get wirless optus 5G unlimited data (Im on $70 unlimited now) for internet

      Definitely a good deal if they let you have 5G home broadband for $70. I'm right on the edge of a 5G area and can get 5G using a modem but can't sign up for the plan.

    Is it 5g only or is it also 4g 3g?

      Depends if your area supports 5G then it will be 5G or else it's 4G.

    Is anyone using the Nokia 5G Fastmile modem? I have one question, is it possible to use it for the Telstra 5G simcard? Thanks

      The sim number is bound to the modems IME alas. But you can take the modem with you. If you put the sim in a phone it will show signal only, no data.

        I just got a replacement Nokia 5g modem and it came with an sim. They check the modem ime & sim number before activating the data. The

          so that means if I put the Telstra sim into the modem, there is the signal only and no data and cannot using the internet?

            @T-man: Modem is locked to Optus… I tried to do it with my Telstra sim, no go.

              @mighty-atom: Thanks for very useful information. I intended to sign up Optus plan and keep the modem and pay the fee to them, it will cost me $530
