    Nice arse, also don't forget 15% Cashrewards.

      Great TIMING with the CR advice at the top of the comments.

  • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 08:12

    It seems to be the last chance as the deal ends at 2am.

  • DarkOz on 15/08/2021 - 08:17

    So after another 30% off and 15% CR it works out to be $6 in total for 6 x 28 days. Ridiculously cheap!

    • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 08:25

      It had been straight half price before, but very likely not this round.

      • DarkOz on 15/08/2021 - 08:55
        +1

        Yeah but $5, $6 or $7 doesn't make any difference. It's just the price of a large, extra large or super large coffee. Ridiculous that we worry about a few dollars for something that lasts 6 months and we don't care about a small snack that costs the same.

        • StarvingOat on 15/08/2021 - 11:58

          A coffee won't charge you $10 later on if you accidentally forget to turn off auto top up.

    • StarvingOat on 15/08/2021 - 11:57

      The 2 GB makes it worthwhile. If it had no data or like 100 MB, then hard pass. At least with 2 GB you can use google maps, spotify, email and whatsapp

      • mckayver on 15/08/2021 - 14:52

        That's what I use it for when I'm out and about. Google maps, Facebook marketplace and WhatsApp.

    Is CR is 15%? The terms say travel and local only. Is this considered in those categories?

    Edit: found it - at the bottom of the groupon page it shows the category. This one is local.

      Doesn't really matter anyway. Just $6 compared to $7.

    Any ideas when other Optus MVNOs will get VoLTE and WiFi calling…they all seem to say 'watch this spot' for the past 12m or more!

    • hawkeye93 on 15/08/2021 - 08:58

      Same story with Telstra. Maybe next year, who knows.

      • StarvingOat on 15/08/2021 - 11:58

        Boost has VoLTE.

        • Ben Kenobi on 15/08/2021 - 14:19

          Yes, just like Moose on Optus but no others yet…4g will be end of life by the time they all get it!

    • Punkboy on 15/08/2021 - 10:51

      Are you saying that amaysim doesn't have voice over wifi?

      • hawkeye93 on 15/08/2021 - 12:22

        Only Moose and Boost have VoLTE/VoWifi, afaik.

    • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 08:47

      New customers only.

  • schwifty on 15/08/2021 - 08:41

    So is this only for new customers?
    Can I just add the renewals to my current account

    • solobirdie on 15/08/2021 - 10:42

      Same question here. Can existing customers take advantage of this deal to get a new number?

      • manwithtwobrains on 15/08/2021 - 12:07

        You can't renew your current account with this, but you can use it to activate a new number even if you're an existing customer..

  • helmutiffe on 15/08/2021 - 08:51

    Amaysim enthusiasts, how regular are these deals? I got one of these from a recent deal to add a SIM to my LTE iPad; just wondering if the deal is reliable enough that it's likely to come up again when these are about to expire.

  • lily99 on 15/08/2021 - 08:59

    Does it include international calls？

    • hawkeye93 on 15/08/2021 - 09:04

      At this price point, no.

      • lily99 on 15/08/2021 - 15:26

    What does ‘6x 28-Day’ mean? Do you get 6 recharge vouchers, one to use per 28 days? Does the word ‘renewals’ here imply it’s for all customers, new and existing ? ‘Keep your existing mobile number or get a new one.’ could be interpreted both ways (existing number form amaysim vs existing number on other network).

    • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 09:25

      There'll be a promo end date marked to your plan. Any renewal after that date is payable, e.g. mine is Promotion - Free Unlimited 2GB. Valid to: 01 Jan 2022.

      • auri on 02/09/2021 - 20:27

        Is it possible to renew early, eg, on 30 Dec 2021, instead?

        • Neoika on 02/09/2021 - 20:29

          No. Just contact CS to get 4 weeks worth of credits. See comments at the end of deal.

    • pennypincher98 on 15/08/2021 - 10:15
      +3

      It's 6x28 day block meaning you'll get 168 days for the price listed above and 2GB every 28 day increment.

  • evo7 on 15/08/2021 - 09:18

    Do I need to use auto renew to use this offer?
    Thank you

  • zuruhara on 15/08/2021 - 09:19

    yes plan automatically recharge for 6 months.
    I think it is pretty common in telcos that "Keep your existing mobile number" means BYO (from another provider).

    • OrangeBJ on 15/08/2021 - 09:23

      6x 28-Day

  • contv on 15/08/2021 - 09:25

    Can this be used as 6 seperate SIMs if desired (for multiple devices) ?

    • StarvingOat on 15/08/2021 - 12:00

      1 voucher for 1 service.

  • bozbargain on 15/08/2021 - 09:33
    -1

    I guess I’m not their target market because I still don’t understand what this 6x 28 days thing is. Do you pay the $7 once (up front), do you need to do anything every 28 days to ensure you don’t run out of credit, is it for new or existing amaysim users? I don’t even understand if this is technically prepaid or postpaid.

    • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 09:35
      +3

      $6.97 for 168 days use, 2GB per 28 days.
      Not available to existing Amaysim numbers.
      Prepaid.

      • bozbargain on 15/08/2021 - 09:50
        +1

        That’s super helpful. Don’t you think this is missing from the deal post? It now looks like you have to recharge every 28 days, like the old days.

        • pennypincher98 on 15/08/2021 - 10:18

          I think 6 x 28 day renewals for $6.97 is quite clear personally. Doesn't need to be in description if it's clearly spelt out in the title.

          • bozbargain on 15/08/2021 - 10:42

            @pennypincher98: To me it sounds like you’re getting 6 vouchers. But that’s from someone who is used to monthly postpaid plans. The whole 28 days makes it extra confusing, it it were monthly they could just call it a 6 month long expiry pre-paid plan with 2GB per ‘month’.

            • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 10:58

              @bozbargain: There is a catch in it that may result in not getting the full 6 renewals. Someone already experienced it below.

            • pennypincher98 on 15/08/2021 - 11:09

              @bozbargain: Yeah Amaysim cram 13 billing periods into a year so not technically 6 months but as for the below reply when I've received an amaysim SIM in the past it's restarted my plan - it'll say something like "we've noticed you've just started using your plan so we've restarted your billing cycle". You can also ask for this from a customer service agent.

  • BuyNow Think Later on 15/08/2021 - 09:51

      I got that one. Took a whole week so sit tight. Worst case, you can just buy a $2 one at coles/woolies if you don't get it before the 30th

    Excess data charged at $10/1GB

    • shoppe on 15/08/2021 - 10:20

      Do you have the option of just stopping data? Or if I remove my credit card, I assume the data will just stop?

      • HFB on 15/08/2021 - 10:27
        +2

        yes it's…extra data can be bought for $10/1GB, not charged $10/1GB.

        • inyaface on 15/08/2021 - 11:17

          so data will just stop at the end of 2Gb? and no info if unused data rollovers or not, I'm guessing not?

          • StarvingOat on 15/08/2021 - 12:02

            @inyaface: Yes data stops at 2 GB. You can disable auto top up data as well as auto recharge after the 6 month mark in the app. It has toggles.

        • gosm on 15/08/2021 - 12:18

          My comment above is an exact quote from the page linked on this deal. It says "charged".

  • JakDac on 15/08/2021 - 10:26

    On Groupon site says 15 hours deal ends.I thought you had till Aug 22 ?

    • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 10:32

      Thats the countdown time for this deal, but you have time till 22 Aug to redeem Groupon voucher on Amaysim. Two steps to get the SIM delivered.

      From some comments I find in this deal (including expired ones), a few people do not actually redeem Groupon voucher and just think it is done after purchase made on Groupon.

  • jimojr on 15/08/2021 - 10:36

    I activated this sim plan last week. It shows that the plan is only valid to 29/12/2021 in my account, this means only 4x 28 days. Has anyone got the same?

    • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 10:39

      It could happen if your redemption date is many days(10+) apart from activation date. You probably miss out one free renewal. Have a read here.

      You probably redeemed the code on the 1 Aug from my calculation. Your 5th renewal date is still before 29 Dec so that it is free.

  • lindol on 15/08/2021 - 10:43

    • StarvingOat on 15/08/2021 - 12:03

      Its a toggle in the app

      • Neoika on 15/08/2021 - 12:05
        +1

        My concern is whether the transaction has proceeded or not. From my and other's exp, Amaysim does not accept prepaid card for any purpose.

        • StarvingOat on 15/08/2021 - 12:07

          Not sure about that. All Amaysim asked me was the normal payment details and the voucher code. After putting in the voucher, they didn't charge anything. Hope your service goes through tho

        • Truck-kun on 15/08/2021 - 21:24

          Yeah i used normal credit card for groupon but used mastercard prepaid card for amaysim which went through fine since it did not require any payment done. I did it just to avoid the whole recharge process since i couldn't find where the toggle is that @humblecat mentioned :(

  • ilovefullprice on 15/08/2021 - 11:23

    Can we turn off auto-renew for this immediately after activating and it will still auto-renew for the 6x28 days? Or we must only turn off auto-renew closer to the end of 6x28 days?

    • ozhunter68 on 15/08/2021 - 11:51
      +7

      Leave auto renew on but change payment info from credit/debit card/paypal to BPay instead, at end day 168 it will just stop if not re-charging.

    • ozhunter68 on 15/08/2021 - 11:54

      Correct and well simply put.

      If in hurry can do sim replacement and use a sim you already have, but easier just to wait untill you receive sim.

        Cool thing about Amasim is that you can pick a number with your favour pattern in the 10 digits.

      • mckayver on 15/08/2021 - 14:49

          On one from last week, or link to earlier Amaysim deal.

  • Butt Scratcher on 15/08/2021 - 13:18

    I got this plan from a previous deal.

    As soon as you redeem it on the amaysim website, the sim activates. So you effectively lose about a week waiting for the sim to be delivered to you. Still really cheap tho

    Be very careful with this, their sign up page is extremely buggy. If it bugs out then you lose the Groupon code as you've 'used' it already.

  • Ben Kenobi on 15/08/2021 - 14:56

    Now if a provider did a 365 day plan with say 30gb data (in total) for $25 a year I reckon they would get a lot of signups from the elderly and stay at home people who mostly use their wifi at home instead of data

    Regretting signing up for the 6-month plan..very spotty 4G coverage in my area (3G most of the time) - this is outdoors too - contrary to the Optus coverage map, which is telling me I should have 4G outdoors. The phone is a Poco X3 Pro, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

  • emboon on 15/08/2021 - 18:40

    How do you cancel the auto-recharge after the 6th recharge?

    • timhn on 15/08/2021 - 19:48

      It's can be disabled in the app - or log into your account at Amasim. You can only see that option after activated your SIM.

      • emboon on 16/08/2021 - 17:04

        I was wondering if I do it now, will I still get to the 6th renewl? Or will it cancel my next free renewal?

        • timhn on 17/08/2021 - 18:16

          No. You'll just monitor the number of times they charge you and after the 6th time, disable auto recharge.
          If you do this now - or before the 6th time, the auto recharge will not deduct from your credit.

  • froogletom on 15/08/2021 - 21:25

    • timhn on 17/08/2021 - 18:22

      Your Amaysim account already have this plan linked to your SIM. Activate your SIM when you received it will start the clock for 28 days. It will automatically recharge after every 28th days.
