    Seems the link points to an old page that is only available via the link posted. Optus is trying to get the link removed from ozbargain.

    See live chat transcript :

    Adam: Hi my name is Adam, can I help you with your Sales Enquiry?

    You: Trying to purchase the optus mytab, and pay with visa card. Keep getting errors in relation to wrong card number/expiry/cvn

    Adam: Hi my name is Adam, can I help you with your Sales Enquiry?

    Adam: How did you get to the My Tab page?

    Stephen: Linked from another page

    Adam: Was it through

    Stephen: keep getting [IT-0001] Card or Payment details are not correct. Please check your card number, expiry date and CVN are correct.

    Adam: Ozbargain

    Stephen: correct ozbargain

    Adam: We have not sold this Tab for 3 months

    Adam: Sorry

    Adam: They have old info on that site

    Stephen: So its not availabe at all ?

    Adam: Sorry not for quite a while

    Stephen: never mind. It was an awesome table

    Adam: Yes but had issues which is why we stopped selling it sorry

    Stephen: what sort of issues ?

    Adam: Freezing

    Stephen: do you have anything similar in the same price range ??

    Adam: Not as yet sorry

    Adam: I believe one is coming but no specific info as yet

    Stephen: i will have to wait then

    Adam: Sorry about that

    Stephen: Thanks anyway

    Stephen: maybe you should take the page down

    Adam: Welcome

    Adam: It is not opur page it goes to one we have removed

    Adam: There is no other way to get to it but through their site

    Adam: We have raised the issue though and is getting sent to them

    Adam: to get it removed

    Adam: Has been happening all day

    Adam: for some reason

    Stephen: thanks again. off to scour ozbargain for more bargains

    Adam: Welcome

    • sane on 09/03/2012 - 19:20

      Bull.

      Never trust one of these online idiots. The Mytab never had freezing issues. The main problem seems to be it showed up the other lackluster offerings from Optus, including their substandard online issues (my "30GB" disappeared with little actually used).

      Asus MeMo seems to the the best near term alternative as Optus won't play ball. Wait till May.

    • fuuuuuui on 10/03/2012 - 15:54

      Yesterday I spoke to their customer support and they said that it had sold out but that they would be updating the site later on in the day after they confirm they can get more in.

      I got through the payment system no worries:

      "Thanks for shopping with us and welcome to Optus
      Your order was successful and your order number is *********.

      A confirmation email of your order has been sent to you"

      I guess we'll have to wait and see if it comes or not…

  • Savabuck on 09/03/2012 - 20:16

    Can someone please clarify for me - Does this unit have a GPS chip OR are people talking about using it at a GPS by using 3G (e.g. web based maps)? I can't see any reference to a GPS chip in the specs???

    • kirt on 09/03/2012 - 20:25

      Yep it has GPS chip.

  • zombie hunter on 09/03/2012 - 22:00

    For $99 good unit to stuff around like putting CM.
    I use mapdroid for android which is free for nav where you get maps from all over the world. works well

  • belbo on 11/03/2012 - 23:11

    Sorry if this is posted elsewhere but struggling to find the info - does this have a front facing camera, can it run skype and does it have wireless N?

    • scrimshaw on 11/03/2012 - 23:53

      No to all questions.

      Skype runs, but you will only be able to chat and text. No webcam.

      • zxcv on 12/03/2012 - 00:29

        i haven't tried on the mytab but you should be able to do video just that it will be facing outward right? (using outside camera) that's how it is on my phone.

  • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2012 - 10:07

    Just for those of you who like to put Optus on the spot.

    Please note: This does NOT constitute legal advice (as prescribed in the Legal Services Act)but merely a personal opinion:

    It seems to be that once you have received a confirmation of your order there is a legal contract (as opposed to an invitation to treat when you send your order). Hence Optus needs to honour that contract and if they cannot, they need to cover the cost of obtaining a comparable or better replacement or the additional costs of obtaining the same device from another supplier. Can be read up on in any standard book of the law of contracts.

    • longmaster on 13/03/2012 - 13:59

      did optus contact you?

  • longmaster on 12/03/2012 - 11:48

    seems that still have not heard anything from optus ???

  • belbo on 12/03/2012 - 17:14
    1. Does anyone know if the sim and call credit have to be used with the device? ie Could you sell the sim and credit if you don't need / want it?
    2. Is there a link to the actual product and offer or only the link which puts the device in your basket?
      Thanks
    • darkjazz on 12/03/2012 - 23:31

      I used the sim card in my galaxy tab very well in the past however you can sell it through eBay if you don't need it.

  • mentos on 12/03/2012 - 21:40

    the link doesn't work now !

    • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2012 - 09:57

      Yes, it does! Only seems to work in IE though. Does work for me there but not in Firefox. Just tried it.

      • belbo on 13/03/2012 - 11:21

        Nope. Not working in IE for me. Just getting an empty cart.

        • mentos on 13/03/2012 - 21:34

          It is back on now !

  • belbo on 13/03/2012 - 23:06

    Ordered 2 and had order confirmation. Now will have to wait and see. Anyone received their's yet? Does anyone know of a case one can use to strap to headrest so it can be used in the car as a movie player for the kids at the back?

    • mr_alligator on 14/03/2012 - 00:32

      I dont think anyone has heard from them yet. Payment has gone through but no information regarding dispatch or delivery. Optus doesn't sell this tab anymore and its been few months since this tablet had disappeared from their website. Lets hope it gets honoured but wont be surprised if it doesn't.

      Re your headrest car holder - you can easily find them on ebay

    • darkjazz on 14/03/2012 - 10:23

      I rang the customer support this morning. However they said that my order number cannot be located in the system. I am now waiting for their investigation result. You guys better do the same and check it out.

      • longmaster on 14/03/2012 - 10:43

        anybody call them yet?

  • longmaster on 14/03/2012 - 10:40

    yeahh…i think we should call OPTUS customer now to check it out right now

  • mish00111 on 14/03/2012 - 13:42

    Just had a call from optus to say there are no tablets available and it was a dead link and money would be put back on credit card!

    • belbo on 14/03/2012 - 14:25

      Not surprising - since there didn't seem to be an actual offer page. I doubt they'd legally obliged to do anything further. Pity though. I wonder if there's any chance of further stock becoming available again at this sort of price.

    • longmaster on 14/03/2012 - 14:38

      so u received refund?

    • longmaster on 14/03/2012 - 14:38

      so u received refund?

      • Mely on 14/03/2012 - 14:55

        I also got a phone call from Optus. Order cancelled. Where did you find this "deal"? Optus staff said they would investigate it. They havent got new stock from last July.

  • Mely on 14/03/2012 - 14:54

    wrong place

  • fuuuuuui on 14/03/2012 - 15:42

    Yep Optus called to say there is no stock of he myTab and they will be giving a refund

    • bigkris74 on 14/03/2012 - 15:45

      Same.

    • citybargainhunter on 15/03/2012 - 10:01

      Just got a call from Tony @Optus. I was wondering why anyone from Optus would call me as I'm not with them for any of my telecommunication needs.

  • happychild100 on 14/03/2012 - 16:08

    Yep just got the call from Optus.
    Getting a refund soon.
    Time to try and get one on ebay then :P
