Optus is currently running an iPhone 11 deal (Save $430.56 off RRP $848.88)

Sign up using the steps mentioned in this deal

Says customers living in eligible WA Postcodes only, but the real MVP in the comments says you can just enter a WA post cost to get to the order page then punch in your real address

If you stay with Optus for 12 months, the total should be $688.32 (The SIM plan ($22.50 x 12 months) + Device repayment ($34.86 x 12 months))

If you decide to terminate the contract in the first month (not recommended strategy)

Info copied from @HomeAlone on the Samsung Galaxy A8 Tab:

The minimum term for a Month-to-month Data Plan is 1 month so you are free to cancel that at any time, but you will still be stuck with the 12 Month Device Payment Plan.

Min. cost $835.50 includes device payments over 12 months with one month discounted device fee and one month of your discounted plan fees.

The minimum cost shown is calculated based on staying connected to the Month-to-month plan for the 1 month minimum term.

Full device cost + 1 month discounted plan fee - 1 month device discount

$848.88 + $22.50 - $35.88 = $835.50

The deal is not as good as the recent Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 for $0/Month but it’s an iPhone deal atm

    WA only?

    • BargainsGrabber on 28/04/2022 - 07:25
      +3

      Nope, just enter any WA postcode to go through the checking eligibility but can enter your own postcode at checkout

      • sicaboy on 28/04/2022 - 15:25

        I had some reading in the original post and someone said there will be a call from Optus to confirm your WA resident address. I will keep an eye on how you guys doing and if anyone outside of WA got the phone/plan successfully.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/04/2022 - 07:29

    That’s a sweet deal considering the phone is $900ish on its own

  • TomDamon on 28/04/2022 - 07:43

    New port-in services only in eligible WA postcodes.

      I managed to go all the way to the final step at checkout using an ACT postcode

      • TomDamon on 28/04/2022 - 07:55

        How about delivery of the SIM card?

        • BargainsGrabber on 28/04/2022 - 08:01

          It’ll be delivered to the address entered at checkout, it doesn’t have to be a WA postcode to take up this offer :)

      • venusozb on 28/04/2022 - 16:39

        I can add the plan with WA code but when I adding the device to the cart I can’t find that 50% discount option. Then I forced to choose $45 plan with out discount. How did you manage to go to check out. Btw I am from Melboure.

        • BargainsGrabber on 28/04/2022 - 17:15

          I chose the phone under the Vkew Phones & Plan, and I selected the iPhone and the half price sim > Keyed in 6000 as the postcode and hit checkout

          The phone and half price plan look to be still available for me tho

  • dirtyhen on 28/04/2022 - 07:43

    wow I thought the total cost is like $418.32 including plan

    • BargainsGrabber on 28/04/2022 - 07:48

      Sorry haha, I’ve fixed the title up

  • jimojr on 28/04/2022 - 07:46

    Sorry you are not eligible for this offer.

    • BargainsGrabber on 28/04/2022 - 07:53

      New and exisiting customers can take up this offer

      • jimojr on 28/04/2022 - 08:09

        Not for me, I am in VIC.

          Any postcodes work mate, just have to enter a WA postcode at the checking eligibility stage, but enter your full address at checkout

          • jimojr on 28/04/2022 - 08:44

            @BargainsGrabber: Ok , thanks.

          • pongky on 28/04/2022 - 09:44

            @BargainsGrabber: I'm actually going to purchase two of these plans for both my kids — you dont' think that since I bypassed the WA postcode check that they won't honour their plan once they realize I'm in VIC?

            • Bargain-er on 29/04/2022 - 08:01

              @pongky: I took the samsung A8 deal and they called me for verification. Dunno if they would do the same. Kinda annoying spending 20 mins to validate info i entered before.

              • 2046smh on 29/04/2022 - 17:24

                @Bargain-er: Did they say anything about your address not being in WA?

  • bargrin on 28/04/2022 - 07:46

    Being an eSim does tht mean you cant swap sim out to another device?

    If I want to give phone to family member but keep sim on my own seperate phone, as they dont need the data.

    • mskeggs on 28/04/2022 - 09:07

      It gives the choice to order a traditional sim or e-sim.

    • jimojr on 28/04/2022 - 09:12

      You can add the esim to any compatible phone.

  • webtherapist on 28/04/2022 - 07:58
    +9

    you can add on another 25% on top as existing customer, so it’s better off with $55/m 80GB plan which will comes down to $20.63/m for plan :)
    and, instead of iPhone 11, you can choose ZTE A71 5G for just $3/m for 12 months (total cost is $278.64 for handset).
    all together is only $23.63/m for 12 months aka $283.56 for ZTE A71 5G + 80GB/m :))

      The real MVP here
      But iPhones hold its value over time than any Android phones

      • webtherapist on 28/04/2022 - 08:17

        not much with iPhone 11 tbh, better off with plan only and buy whatever handset outright :)

          +7

          But iPhone 11 128gb for $498 is not too bad either.

    • HomeAlone on 28/04/2022 - 08:38
      +2

      you can add on another 25% on top as existing customer

      How do you that?

      • webtherapist on 28/04/2022 - 09:06

        get a prepaid sim pack and activate to have an account if you don’t, then go through this deal to have extra 25% off plan fee as an existing customer:)

        • gtrain on 28/04/2022 - 09:08

          I'm an existing customer and don't see any 25% off discount - I think that is what HomeAlone is asking.
          Is there a way you can do this via the web or do you need to ask on webchat or something?

          • webtherapist on 28/04/2022 - 09:18
            +2

            @gtrain: log out from Optus first if you use web browser, then go through the process and you can click to choose as new customer/existing customer:)

        • OldKing on 28/04/2022 - 12:42
          +3

          How are you able to add this 25% "on top" of this deal? I'm an existing customer and while I can get the 25% discount, it takes the Medium $55 plan down to $41.25. How exactly are you getting this down to $20.63/m? What have I missed as I'm keen to get this for the Mrs?

    • pongky on 28/04/2022 - 09:19

      25% off as an existing, wow — how do we jump on that? the system will know if you're already an existing optus number when going through checkout?

      • pongky on 28/04/2022 - 09:23
        +1

        Just tried it right now — it works! There is an option to say "new" or "existing" and going through the existing process there is an option to simply "add" the 25% discount for existing customers

        • AlterCheapo on 29/04/2022 - 10:43

          When do you see the option for the extra 25% off? im nearly at checkout and it still hasnt showed up :(

          • cariDisc on 29/04/2022 - 15:48

            @AlterCheapo: it is no longer possible to stack it, you can only have 50% off

            • AlterCheapo on 29/04/2022 - 16:22

    I was offered this deal
    http://optus.com.au/iphone11save
    Can choose any plan and pay for the 128gb phone $13.84 per month for 36 months.
    I ended up not taking the offer as the plan I have now is much better than any current plan.
    Also the iPhone 11 offered is not the pro version.
    Instead I bought a second hand iPhone pro max under 600 on marketplace.

  • syswong on 28/04/2022 - 08:16

    Lets say one can get around the address check which some mentioned they can't in the original deal. How do I add the iPhone to the plan?

  • Fabio08 on 28/04/2022 - 08:29

    Interesting, great deal however I worry about the WA postcode.

  • xavierod on 28/04/2022 - 08:35

    What would the full etc be if you didn't want to be on Optus?

    • HomeAlone on 28/04/2022 - 08:52
      +2

      If you cancel in the first month?

      Full device cost + 1 month discounted plan fee - 1 month device discount

      $848.88 + $22.50 - $35.88 = $835.50

      May as well just buy from Big W for $749 in that case.

      • nsonha on 28/04/2022 - 23:46

        Yeah your device would be locked though?

        • timmysbiscuits on 29/04/2022 - 14:54

          AFAIK iPhones are not network locked.

  • Jayblesz on 28/04/2022 - 08:55

    I'm already an Optus customer. As I don't need a 'new' service I have to port out to take advantage by porting back in?

    • pongky on 28/04/2022 - 09:36

      No, if you sign up as an existing optus member you actually save 25% off the monthly service fees (not device fees) but it's nice that they reward you for being a customer already

    • Jiva on 28/04/2022 - 10:16

      Yes, you'll need to port out as there's no option to upgrade your existing service.

  • Pete Gabitas on 28/04/2022 - 09:10

    Will get cheaper and cheaper. If you need one get it. Still going strong with my iPhone 7 and just got another free battery replacement. If the battery health is under 80% within a year, you get a new one at Apple.

      Within 2 years of purchasing the device. Sadly, mine dropped to 84% within 10 months but then remained on 84% for the next 14 months so Apple wouldn’t replace mine. That was for a 2020 SE.

        That’s bad luck. I had it now twice after 11 months dropping to 79%. I think apple has to swap it for free and it’s not their goodwill. It’s a consumer affairs rule.

  • I Smell Pennies on 28/04/2022 - 09:43

      This must be the upcoming deal that day you called the sales team

      • I Smell Pennies on 28/04/2022 - 09:50

        Maybe. They said 50% over the phone but if I decide it later it will be 25% 😳

        • Richardc on 28/04/2022 - 13:46

    Also, if I have a friend who wasn't an Optus customer and wanted to port in would I be able to get the extra 25% off by saying they're an existing Optus customer but put in new details in checkout?

        • pongky on 28/04/2022 - 11:59

          from what I calculate their early termination fee is half of the monthly cost per month, so I'm also canceling early by 3 months and they're charging me one month's plan fee so it's not too bad… AND, if you chat with them nice enough they can offset that by giving you a 10% off your plan rates… but remmeber I didn't qualify for the 50% off one but still is a good deal for me overall

      I think you can by choosing you are an existing customer. Just try and if you don't get it you don't get it.

      Remember you need a WA postcode to kick off the process but can use your own address. Some did report they were rejected….
