    great value! i need to cancel some of my other amaysim sims first

    • binatang on 02/05/2012 - 16:53

      So if one cancels previous amaysim accounts, does this deem one to be a new customer and could you port your number to them which i ported to them previously

      • zigpy_siva on 02/05/2012 - 18:01

        mostly they will not allow to port from their own number…

        you can try porting from amaysim -> any other network -> amaysim…
        (i did this for the redbull $10 -60 days plan)

          port to gt mobile, they will give you free sim card.

    • c64 on 02/05/2012 - 17:09

      if you don't mind a new number then i think they voucher will work if you order a new sim. i did that with the last amaysim promo.

  • dealman on 02/05/2012 - 15:19

        optus… no data reception anywhere

          It's the next best thing to Telstra. Of course everywhere has black spots. I know someone with 4g telstra mobile and the vodaphone network is the only one that gets reception inside, go figure. Use what works for you but honestly optus is the best mobile network that won't charge an arm and a leg.

        • Harold Halfprice on 02/05/2012 - 19:50

          i came from 3/vodaphone to amaysim
          optus's network is far far better, and i believe only bested by telstra

        • neonlight on 03/05/2012 - 12:11

          Exactly they do not have 850MHZ network which is much better than 2100Mhz counterparts.
          Even Vodafone speeds are better. Optus 2100 is lousy

    • mickeyjuiceman on 02/05/2012 - 16:32

      It's Optus, but my wife, who was with Vodafone, is wanting to go back to Voda after a month on Amaysim because of massive data connection issues (3GS). (I've gone from Optus to RedBullMobile (Voda) with my DesireHD and can't say it's got any worse for me.) We're in Collingwood, but trek around the city to the outer suburbs a bit, but not much further in general. So I'm about to move her phone from Amaysim to RBM - it's cheaper (marginally on the one month plan, but a fair bit if you prepay for a year), and seems to work better, which surprised me.

      • abc on 02/05/2012 - 17:14
        +6

        That's actually also because of the phone you have. A 3GS does NOT support the UMTS/HSDPA 900MHz band (Optus "yesG" - 94% coverage) and hence you can only roam 3G on the UMTS/HSDPA 2100MHz Optus 3G Network - which only has 80% coverage!

        Also i'm NOT talking about GSM 900MHz (2G), which the 3GS does support!

        http://www.optus.com.au/aboutoptus/About+Optus/Network+Coverage/Coverage+Maps+(old)/Network+Coverage+Maps

        It's one area where Telstra are smarter than the other networks where they will take ages to "approve" a phone for use on their network if you buy a contracted phone from them. Rather than letting "any" phone be sold on a contract with their network like the 3GS (which only roams 3G in metro) is with Optus and their partners.

        • mickeyjuiceman on 02/05/2012 - 20:02

          Yes, except that as I said, it's almost entirely metro stuff, and it's just not as good as Voda was. And the phone worked fine on Optus for a couple of years initially.

      how could they enforce the "one connnection per person, per phone" condition? I mean, what's stopping people from buying several and activating them one per month until August 1?

    I got two of these last round and had much superior reception than the first of the redbull deals im using now. So many drop outs that it is a burden to use. I must activate the second rbm by mid June which takes me to mid Sept. to go amaysim and activate by Aug1, would be within the second rbm period but im very tempted to get this and waste the poxy rbm-almost non existent- burdensome coverage.

  • huntress_love on 02/05/2012 - 16:45

    so is the 3g any good if you are in the city (mel) in a highrise building. currently using the discount telstra ones and they work great.

    only need it for data for my tab so no use if the data is not very good!

    • retiredfeline on 02/05/2012 - 17:34

      You could ask around to see how other people fare with the Optus network in that highrise. I've generally had no problems, but there are always exceptions to the usually quoted order Telstra > Optus > Vodafone.

      I must admit I am a little biased because their systems made a mistake in my favour and gave me a second month of unlimited after the first ended (this was the Cudo offer from last year). :D But I also had reception in country areas where I expected none so that was a pleasant surprise. Also I think their AYG is good value for low usage so I have recharged with that.

      Edit: just after I hit Post, I got an email from Amaysim saying that national calls on AYG are now 12c/minute down from 15c/minute, no flagfall. IMO a big difference from the inflated prices on monopoly money of other carriers.

  • danteshope on 02/05/2012 - 16:46

    Don't even bother with this, Amaysim offers bad communication and service. Been with them before, not going to make the mistake of going with them again.

          I think I paid with Paypal the last time, but not sure this time about Living Social. Amaysim doesn't have my CC details, because I didn't want automatic recharge or anything like that.

    • llama on 03/05/2012 - 00:31

      and if i use over the limit ,would it charge me more?

      YES - they have excess data usage. It is NOT prepaid, they will not cut you off when your data runs out.

      However you can pay it prepaid.

    • retiredfeline on 03/05/2012 - 00:40

      Since you prepay, what happens is when you exceed the data quota, there is no money in your account to pay for excess usage so effectively you are cut off. Provided you haven't given Amaysim your CC and authority to charge it.

      But believe me, 4GB is a lot unless you are watching Youtube or downloading all the time. I checked email and websites quite often during the day, and allowed updates of apps when I had it and I consumed about 1/2 GB in a month. That's one thing that will help, don't let your apps update automatically; do the update when you are on WiFi. A FB update for example will cost you 11 MB.

      And don't be panicked by people who talk about the 1MB or 10MB session rounding. I left my phone on all the time and didn't observe huge consumption due to this.

  • MishyMoo on 03/05/2012 - 09:51

    I ported my number from Lebara to Amaysim just yesterday (it's still in the process of being ported over)…though I didn't ask for any credit (and it seems to have been allowed)…
    so, my question is:
    will they allow me to use this voucher on a SIM (bought elsewhere) that I have just activated (my first Amaysim account)? Does it matter that I don't use the SIM that comes in the post with this deal - and so I have 3 days to activate, does this mean that I can use this voucher, as I am a new account with Amaysim?

    • retiredfeline on 03/05/2012 - 10:11

      I think you should contact Amaysim to ask.

      • MishyMoo on 03/05/2012 - 10:50

        Thanks greenpossum …
        Amaysim said that I would not be able to use the voucher for this number as the SIM that is sent out needs to be the one used. However, I can always get the voucher, use it with the new SIM (and a new number). Am thinking of porting my primary number over from Virgin (all of my 2 eggs in the same basket - bit scary :) cos Amaysim don't inactivate your account for ages (and will extend it if you ask them) if you aren't using it (I travel a lot so that suits me). The only thing I don't like about Amaysim (not that I have used them as yet, so this is theoretical), is that we pay to pick up voice-mail (Virgin voice-mail is free).

  • Saturday on 03/05/2012 - 10:55

    I just realized that it seems once you redeem your living social voucher, your AnySIM card is activated. Hmm, i don't need it right now, but i have redeemed my voucher. Bad…

        We just need you to BPAY your balance before we can activate and send out your amaysim SIM. Here’s your BPAY details – easy!
        …
        You’ll be able to use your 4GB of data and UNLIMITED standard talk¸ text and access to social networks (Australia wide) as soon as you get your SIM!

        The amount need to pay is $0 and they indicated the card will be activated before they send it out.

        • bhs on 03/05/2012 - 12:41

          thanks Saturday. I need to port in my own number on 15/6/2012, how can I do? If I redeem the voucher now, it will be activated before they send it out. Does it mean the sim card is on the way to me, and I can't use the port in number for a few days, because it's activated. If this is the case, I will ask for a refund within 5 days.

        • shabzbd on 03/05/2012 - 12:48

          I got a similar message what do I do? How can I pay a $0 balance? Will the SIM not be sent if I dont pay anything?? Confused please help?

    • retiredfeline on 03/05/2012 - 14:48

      What makes you think that? In the T&C somebody above quoted:

      • SIM card must be activated by August 1, 2012

      which implies nothing happens until you get your SIM in your hot little hands and then activate online. At that point you can port a number you already have or use a new one of theirs (you get some choice in the actual number).

      It's always confusing when there are two merchants involved, in this case LS and Amaysim. You redeem the LS voucher for an Amaysim SIM that will come in the post, and then you activate the Amaysim SIM. That was the case in previous group buys.

  • shabzbd on 03/05/2012 - 12:46

    Why is Amaysim sending me

    "We just need you to BPAY your balance before we can activate and send out your amaysim SIM. Here’s your BPAY details – easy! Amount: $0.00"

    I selected amaysim "Prepaid" pay by voucher or BPAY. How can I pay a $0 balance.

    Anyone? Thanks loads in advance.

    • wakkawalla on 11/06/2012 - 20:17

      have you got your sim yet?

  • MishyMoo on 03/05/2012 - 14:27

    I joined Amaysim last night (BEFORE I read about this great deal).. not wanting to have an account (or supply myu credit card details) that rolled over a new credit when I get low, I opted to pay by BPay. So I got a $0 balance - it worked. They ported my number and have given me $0.01 balance today - so I guess that means that I can receive calls, just cannot make them. Works for me as this is my 'secondary' phone number.

    I called them today and asked them some stuff - they seem very reasonable and very generous.

    hope this helps

    • tassie Pete on 03/05/2012 - 15:19

      Hi Michelle, Amaysim have been good to deal with AND they've just dropped their per-minute rate on PAYG, which I'm on. Bonza! 12 cents per minute.

  • wakkawalla on 04/05/2012 - 23:08

    Hey anyone know when does the voucher expire? (I know the sim activation expires by 1st Ausgust)

    When make a purchase (using the voucher), and im porting an old number. Should i select new or old? I dont want to port yet, but in a months time. And does the porting take place now, or is this for sending out the sims?

    cheers.

    • retiredfeline on 04/05/2012 - 23:17

      The voucher would be useless after Aug 1 so there would be nothing gained from delaying redeeming the voucher.

      After you receive and activate the SIM, one of the options on the web form is whether you want to port an old number.
