Handy if you want to park your number or need a phone for mainly receiving calls with data turned off.
Also I think Amaysim works overseas for receiving SMS (please comment if you know for sure).

  • Credit lasts for 365 days
  • 12c / min standard calls to mobile & landlines
  • 12c / standard SMS
  • 5c / MB data
  • 29c/min calls to 13 numbers, free calls to 18 numbers in Australia
  • 12c/min voicemail retrieval
  • Optus 4G Network with VoLTE
  • No lock-in contract
  • Bring your number or pick a new one
  • Free SIM delivery

      Why not just buy one when you need it?

        I remember the sim delivery time took 3 weeks previously (for me) LOL

    will keep in mind when my telstra prepaid expires in about 400 days.

      You can set a reminder at the top of the page if you forget.

  • Boomer85 on 28/05/2023 - 10:55

    Incoming calls and text is the same rate as outgoing or free?

    You can also get the 365 days by letting a current prepaid plan expire, i.e., you use a pre-paid monthly before going overseas for several month and do not recharge/renew the monthly plan. Your number is still active and kept for 365 days, so you can receive texts still for 2FA or hear from others.

    • dealz4all on 28/05/2023 - 12:42

      Careful with that, don't think it's 365 days. Think it's more like 3-6 months (depending on how aggressive your telco is.) Kogan, for example, I think turns off your ability to receive in 3 months. While I think you can still get your number back, I think they're allowed to recycle your number (i.e. can't get it back) after 6 months.

      Afaik, 365 days might be possible but not risk-free, depending on your telco.

      • bk1973 on 28/05/2023 - 12:46

        10.3.1 of Amaysim's General Terms: "If you use the mobile Service Pre-paid Payment Option, the Service will be cancelled automatically if more than 455 days have passed since your last recharge of Airtime Credit (for the purposes of this clause, your last recharge may be Activation of your amaysim SIM Card). The 455 days indicated consists of a 365 day active period and a 90 day passive period. For more information on active and passive periods, please see the amaysim Mobile Service Description."

        You actually get 455 days to keep your number, but the last 90 days you won't be able to receive texts (or calls if you're in Australia).

        • easternculture on 28/05/2023 - 12:56

          They say that but from experience, you will get a reminder on aniversary date, if you dont recharge they cancel it after a few weeks

        • dealz4all on 28/05/2023 - 13:05

          That's not how I read it at all. They say 455 days after last recharge, so that 365 days active is what you've paid for.

          I would then expect the 90 day passive to be being able to receive texts and calls.

          After that, I assume you can't receive texts/calls (if they follow through), and then usually after at leas 6 months of no recharge, you probably lose the ability to keep your number.

          Don't agree with your reading, I think what you quoted supported what I said all along. (And of course, it depends on the telco, and whether they strictly follow what they said. I'm sure some are more lenient.)

          • easternculture on 28/05/2023 - 13:15

            @dealz4all: This is what happened on my old prepaid account and why i moved to postpaid (which they dont offer anymore)

            Believe what you want bud.

          • bk1973 on 28/05/2023 - 13:28

            @dealz4all: That clause isn't about a 365-day plan. That's for any prepaid service. See the Mobile Description document, section 6, and specifically, 6.4.

            https://www.amaysim.com.au/content/dam/amaysim/documents/ter…

            "Your Airtime Credit may be used within a period of 365 days (unless otherwise stated) from your last recharge. This 365 day period is called the “Active Period” (for the pur- pose of determining your first Active Period, Activation is considered a recharge). Every time you recharge your Airtime Credit, a new 365 day Active Period for your entire Airtime Credit begins from the day of the recharge."

            NOTE: this section isn't specifically about 365 day plans. It's about pre-paid plans in general, which can be 6 months or 28 days, etc.

            Also says, "If you don’t recharge your Airtime Credit within the Active Period, you enter into the Passive Period. On the first day of the Passive Period your Airtime Credit expires and you will not be able to make outgoing calls, send SMS or MMS or download data. You may, however, receive calls and SMS. You may also make calls to our Service Hotline on 567 and to Emergency Services. During the entire Passive Period you will be able to recharge your Airtime Credit. Upon recharge, your Active Period will restart and continue for a further 365 days."

            "Within a period of 10 days before the end of the Passive Period we will warn you by SMS and email that we may cancel your Service.

            So, you are correct that you can receive texts during the Passive Period. The last sentence is a pretty important one: you will get 10-days warning before your service is cancelled and you could lose your number. Worst case, 10-day recharge. Any non-PayGo prepaid plan converts to PayGo after the prepaid airtime ends. In section 6.5 about Insufficient Airtime Credit, it makes no mention of going into the Passive period.

              @bk1973: Cheers man. Thanks for clarifying.

    Hey guys, I got a $30 from Woolies and 600 points. Bought one yesterday using my 10%off and payed with gift card. I was able to choose a pay as you go and 365 validity. I also have $30 to spend. Absolute bargain.
    You are better off to buy from Woolies as you pay $9, 600 points plus you also get $30 credit. Option to choose esim as well.

    • Irishness on 30/05/2023 - 14:47

              @Brainwhacker: there's another discussion on here about amayasim which has more detail, you can choose the plan you go on, can't remember if it expires or rolls over think it rolls onto the 365 days

      Referral rewards are better than this (under current promo): buy a 28 day plan through a referral for $7.50, you get 28 days of usage (calls, data), $10 of credit added to the account, and if you switch off auto-renew you get switched to the PAYG plan with 1 year expiry at the end of 28 days.

    "Also I think Amaysim works overseas for receiving SMS (please comment if you know for sure)."

    I can confirm Amaysim does not work in Japan. Not even with roaming turned on. Just won't work. If you call help line, all they do is request you to reboot phone and do all that useless troubleshooting and after several hours, still won't work.

    • mememe123 on 28/05/2023 - 22:59

      Amaysim worked for me for receiving SMS for free on multiple trips in Japan pre-pandemic, no problem.

      • YodaBaby on 30/05/2023 - 17:11

        I was in Japan in 2017. Never worked. Not even SMS. The travelling partner was also on Amaysim on a different phone, and it didn't work as well. It was basically rubbish. At that time, Japan was selling local data sim card only, no calls nor texts included. You need to sign up for a monthly plan for that. We didn't as we were there for about 3 weeks only.

        • dealz4all on 30/05/2023 - 22:55

          I think a lot of this stems from routing issues. Basically, particularly when international SMS and/or roaming gets involved, if your number is on a different network to what it was originally allocated to (which is the whole point of churning/porting), I think you might run into the issues you're referring to from specific senders from specific carriers.

          Years ago, I had a Vodafone number that, once churned to a Optus carrier, could not receive international SMSes from certain people that I knew were sending me SMSes. (But other people sending me SMSes from that country, different carrier, was fine.) We had to give up on communication via SMS. (They could get mine, I could not get theirs.) When I churned back to a MNVO using Vodafone, it suddenly worked again.

          So I think this might not be an amaysim specific issue, but rather the Japan carrier is trying to send the SMS to the carrier your number is allocated to, and I would guess you are no longer with that carrier. Is that guess correct?
          (I am referring to the original carrier that got allocated that number range when it was first issued.)

            @dealz4all: I was with amaysim for years even before going to Japan. Roaming worked fine while I travelled to Singapore many times. So, yes it is more of an issue in Japan, probably their incompatible network. Anyway, I don't use international roaming anymore as I know they mostly don't work. Buying a local sim in the destination country turns out to be the best option, cheaper and definitely more reliable.

  • whey4000 on 04/11/2024 - 23:49

    What happens at the end of the 365 days, does this automatically renew for $10 for another 365 days?

    • WatchNerd on 05/11/2024 - 00:09

      There's a period of time where you can still receive calls (I think it's 1 year actually) but you will need to top it up eventually.

      The OzB way would be to port out & port back with a new sim bought on special from Coles or Woolworths etc. For example this $30 sim (expired now) for $10 activated on this plan would give you $30 credit.

    • ballistykx on 05/11/2024 - 00:12

      There is an automatic top up setting online and in the app which is on by default.

      • whey4000 on 05/11/2024 - 00:15

        • ballistykx on 05/11/2024 - 01:16

          I checked and it doesn't look like it automatically renews. The automatic top up is for when your credit falls below a certain amount.

              @whey4000:

              Thats not good I dont want to loose the number

              Like I said above there's a grace period where you can still receive calls, I think it's one year.

              In other words it doesn't just cut off 12 months after your last top up. Don't forget to turn off data.

                @WatchNerd: How can you turn off data, do you mean on my phone or is there a way to turn it off from amaysims side?

                  @whey4000: Yes on your phone settings. Don't go on this plan if you need data. See data rates in the description.
