I haven't seen an Amaysim freebie for several months now, but this one is only $3 after cashback via Cashrewards. If 15GB is sufficient and you don't need any international call and text inclusions, you could save a further 60¢ and opt for the next plan down. Note the Special Terms on the Cashrewards site.
For those unfamiliar with Amaysim:
- They use the Optus network. This plan offers 4G, but not 5G (need to stump up a lot more $$$ for that).
- VoLTE and VoWiFi appear to be available.
- Their number choice system (assuming that you want a new number) is one of the better ones.
- If you opt for a new number and physical SIM it'll most likely arrive already activated, but you can generally get those "lost" days back. (It's often automatic, triggered by the first use.)
- eSIM is available.
- Don't forget to make sure auto-recharge is disabled. (Who wants to pay $30 per 28 days ongoing?)
- Once out of credit, "As You Go" lets you retain the service in a receive-only state for a further 12 months.
Select Cashrewards terms — see web site for full details.
- Limited to one cashback per calendar month per Cashrewards account.
- Cashback is eligible for new and existing amaysim customers on purchase of a new service (SIM), and must be activated within 30 days of purchase.
- Cashback is ineligible on
- Exclusive amaysim partner promos (Groupon & others), and exclusive direct offers provided to amaysim's customer base or email list.
- When using codes not listed on Cashrewards (codes that auto-apply on amaysim's website at checkout are eligible).
Thanks Op, handy for sim slutting.
To avoid the sim being delivered already activated say you are porting even if you aren't. You can still activate with a new number later.
