Seems amaysim dropped their price further
You need to sign up to a prepaid plan though
Note: final price is shown at checkout
Thank you mods for cleaning up my post
$10 credit to both the referrers on Unlimited Plans and referees. Referee needs to provide referrer with their email address.
large pain defects?
paint? like a chip?
I initiated cancellation and refund as I have no updates from Amaysim. Chat could not tell me why order was not fulfilled. They offered me a credit towards purchasing another phone. I declined. As I said before, cash was taken out from my bank because of debit card, and would need to wait for 6 weeks to get that refunded.
need to wait for 6 weeks to get that refunded.
How is that possible??
I hope thats a standard reply and will get that sooner.
Six weeks would be the next level of BS that only commits to that bitter feeling I expressed in this comment.
Got mine yesterday with the note explaining the sim setup etc. Only problem is they didn’t include the sim. On chat currently trying to sort it out.
Edit: I have to purchase a $2 sim, they’re crediting the $2 and an additional $10 to my account.
esim is so much eaiser to set up….open up camera, scan, done…………
I received mine a couple of days ago and an email yesterday from amaysim saying that the simcard is ready to use. So is the simcard active already or can i delay it?
Possibly not, it’s started no matter you use or not
Seems impossible to get a proper "tax invoice" out of these guys. I can't see it in my payment section in the member's area. Chat has promised to email it to me a few days ago (yet nothing). Anyone able to easily download/obtain their own tax invoice?
I'm hoping that TRS will accept the email format amaysim invoice.
I think the email invoice includes the GST and also the ABN at the bottom. Unless the officer not allowing the email invoice.
You can print it out anyways.
@sicaboy: Btw the email gst includes the plan. I think that can’t be trs? May need a separate invoice just for the phone.
This list defines a tax invoice.
The email has everything but at the same time so many things from that list might be questionable - there's no date of issue, there'a date of order (under one of the items) and date you got the email.
Yes it's not an easy process. With enthusiasm they say let me help you with that. Then they say this issue has to be handled by a different department. It really shouldn't be that difficult. I think by law they have to issue a tax invoice if requested and it's over a certain amount.
Finally received the phone. Now we all family members already have mobile plans. Can someone guide me if I can resell it or any other better options for this plan???
Is anybody still waiting for their phone?
I never received it and initiated cancellation and refund.
Did you get it?
Anyone elses home and lock screen just chewing through their battery and has a weirdly high screen on time?
Yep, crazy
Doesn't look like there is a fix for it either, oh well
highly recommend ppl watch some battery optimize video,

basically some marketing, advertising tracking, mail push needs to be turned off.
Can you guys confirm that it's unlocked? Somehow I checked on imei site, it shows simlock status: Locked. and after checking it's locked to Optus network. Thanks
Unlocked. Using Amaysim eSIM+ Telstra Physical SIM……..all working
Thank you so much :)
using amaysim + boost physical card, works fine.
Is anyone else seeing 500GB data remaining instead of 250GB on their phone plan? It says Unlimited 250GB plan but showing 500GB. I don't get it.
Screenshot
Not sure why I'm getting negged for this lol
Mine is showing 0GB for some reason. And I can’t even make calls
Because you recieved 2 phones, they forfeited your data and gave it to @RX7 🤣
It's been 2 days and my sim still hasn't activated on the app
same issue - my number has some problem, they have escalated to 2nd level support :/
got it sorted via live chat
Should I purchase Apple care?
I did, but only because I'm prone to dropping my phones, and whilst I have dropped my Galaxy Note 10+ many times without any issues (it was in a Spigen case) I don't think the iPhone 12 mini has the same durability as a Note 10. Therefore, I bought Applecare, i just rationalized it as part of the price of the phone. So it depends on your circumstances.
I put a screen protector and a case on the iphone. I don't know if the iphone is easy to crack when I drop it.
i just rationalized it as part of the price of the phone
Out of curiosity, how much was Apple Care for this $400 phone that its purchase could be rationalised?
As for my 2 cents on whether to purchase it - a proper screen protector and a solid case should help a lot and are probably cheaper. These phones are sturdy.
$199
@nomadspartan: I don’t know how you can rationalise paying an insurance premium that’s 50% of the insured value. That’s like paying $5k to insure a $10k car.
@xers: Yeah you're actually right. I purchased Apple Care with my Macbook and iPad, but they're much more expensive devices. I think I'll cancel my iPhone Applecare after I come back from my overseas trip for peace of mind (going for 6 weeks) and Apple will provide a prorata refund for the unused period.
really comes down to what kinda of person you are when it comes to handling devices……
if you dont know, buy a year.
Thank you!
Anyone recommend wireless charger? My usual one heats up the mini badly and only charges up to 80%..
I bought the Apple magsafe battery pack off Amazon, used the $15 voucher.
make sure it has active cooling….the mini heats up way too much than my max model…….not even joking…
Same here. I love the mini for the smaller weight and size but the battery can’t get me through a full day.
And like you said, it heats up quite quickly even when just browsing instagram or just watching a video or two on YouTube.
sick (profanity)
Did the T&Cs mention you can't take a dump onto your neighbour's front yard?
I'd double check to be sure and then just do it.
ok Bro(den)
Missed the deal but bought this new off Marketplace for $475 (Blue, 256gb) and that in Sydney too! The seller kept the plan which I didn’t need anyway. Bought it only because of FOMO.
Currently using Mini 12 128gb and it has been a revelation after using large Note series in the past. Also great when out running as it is so light.
Get a decent case like Speck or Tech21 with tempered glass. I have had mine in both at different times, dropped them on concrete and not a single scatch with only hairline crack on the screen protector.
my brother has FOMO his iPhone 6 died & was keen on buying marketplace though most people are just out make a huge profit, you're lucky.
Tbh, I was surprised that he agreed to it. Had it advertised for ‘$650 ono’. I am sure some others will lower their price soon with flooded market and not enough demand. Just keep trying and asking.
I sold my both phones 128GB and 256GB on marketplace with $450 profit in total and still kept both plans with me. Luckily I found people that were not aware about this deal and thought that they are paying a good price. Not everyone is on OZB.
Been mentioned above but battery life is ordinary for me at best. If anyone can share their experiences or tweaks that would be helpful. I tried the YouTube video posted earlier and sent it to my daughter (iPhone 12, not mini) and she reckons it made her battery life worse, so she reversed the recommendations and sure enough even to my eyes her battery went back to normal. Go figure. Can’t be that much worse than an iPhone 12.
It is actually a lot worse than iPhone 12. Wife had 12 while I have have a 12 Mini. She has a 13 now and it again way better. We tested with similar use (including swapping phones) and 12 goes for 1.5 to 2 days for us while 12 mini barely makes it through the day. Both of us are desk based professionals so it is never far from chargers. Tesla app or similar with constant GPS use are the culprits. Heating is also an issue. However, for me pocketability trumps it all.
thanks buddy, yep same here, appreciate your reply, obviously a tradeoff situation with battery size and phone size
For most apps setting provides a "Siri and search" option which expands into "learn from this app, show app in search, and three options for Siri to make suggestions. If, like me, you are coming from Android, you go to 'settings', then scroll down as the functions are grouped by type and then alphabetically, so you need to keep scrolling down.
There are a multitude of apps and settings that involve Siri monitoring and analysing your use, and providing telemetry and syncing data in order to provide the full functionality the phone can offer and emulate AI to integrate and personalise your phone - plus tender stunning offers, films, music, books etc that you may be interested in.
Once you get an inkling of how much work the little unit is doing in the background, you may be more surprised at how long it lasts…
I turned off all the automatic sync options I could readily find and it uses only a little more power than my RealMe7 - as long as it's on wifi sitting on the desk doing nothing :-0.
Small, powerful and long-lasting battery - pick any two…
I will note that the old B&O earphones than came with the LG V20 or 30 that blew me away with the vaunted LG DAC that was the be-all and end-all of mobile recording and music are reproducing incidentals from ex-vinyl FLAC recordings I hadn't heard until now. Forget the technical specs, this is the widest clearest sound stage and separation of voices/instruments I've listened to since we hooked a pair of Quad electrostatics to a 1970's valve driven Harmon-Kardon class A, and the first phone I have had where "S" sounds don't even hint at a ragged 'top' hiss…
Regret upgrading to iOS 16. Battery drain seems much worse than one that came out the box. It also heats up whilst using whatsapp. How's it for everyone else?
How long did you use it on the default iOS before upgrading to iOS 16 ?
Anyone still checks the link to see if any colour is back in stock again ? 😛
I do :)
still not back in stock
I will wait for your guys to update then.
Can't believe I missed this deal :(
Neither am I
This is shit. The plan starts to count regardless you activate or not. I just activated it and there is only 48 days left instead of 3 month.
lol, this has been stated in the Terms and Conditions. Ozbargainers had fully discussed earlier.
Oh.. I missed all that. But I just called them and they are kind enough to re-start the plan from today.
This is interesting. I activated mine 3 weeks after purchasing and I got exactly 3 months.
I purchased this deal beginning of Feb and my plan is till June 1st.
The battery of these phones suck man
compared to the price… it's good enough
Seriously, take it to Apple Store & ask if these markings are normal. You have 12 month Apple warranty (+12 month ACCC). Nothing to lose
