      How?…Optus is offering 200gb vs 60gb here

      • pennypincher98 on 10/11/2023 - 20:19

        Prepaid Amaysim PAYG - free calls and texts for the rest of the year (saves people using credit and topping up)
        Prepaid Optus PAYG - free data on weekends (which will just congest the network).

        PAYG is most popular amongst elderly, so giving them free unlimited calls and texts until Dec 31 makes much more sense than data they don't use.

          Same, from the deal last year, I have 3 SIMs expiring in 2 weeks' time. I am hoping this bonus data will keep them going for a bit longer. At least till Black Friday deals on Nov 24. Or do they deactivate at expiry time?

            @sheikyerbouti: I am also not sure. Will ask them how long do I have to continue so I can say wait for a week to have some deals or do they need to be renewed on the expiry day only. Don't want to forfeit banked data.

            • BinnyC on 13/11/2023 - 15:07

              @BinnyC: They replied back to my email that service will be active 455 days from the renewal of plan but will not be able to avail the services until you renew the plan.

      I got both e-mails. Free talk and text till 31/12 and 60GB data till 31/12. I bought a sim on sale to test for a month and it expires 26/11 so I get an extra month and 60GB for a sim I don't use.

      • BinnyC on 11/11/2023 - 21:21

        This will be applied on 24th Nov but my plan ends on 15th. So don't know if I will get to use it after expiry…

        • Borg on 11/11/2023 - 22:18

          it's hardly going to apply to an expired account as it's "expired". Perhaps if renewed then yes?

      If you run a business and Internet is critical then surely one should have a backup in place. All Telcos will go offline on the occasion.

      My internet and mobile went down but I just switched to a Boost SIM and ran internal Office PCs off it via a 4g modem. In turn VoIP Phones, Internet etc all worked well.

        • Borg on 11/11/2023 - 19:04

          Then you should have tethered the eftpost to a mobile that does have signal. Problem solved in no time.
          If you Eftpost doesn’t allow this then get rid of it and replace with one that does or supports two sims.

    60GB for one month only is a smack in the face. It should be for the remainder of the plan.

    Even what Optus is offering is a smack in the face.

    Free data is not compensation. It should be monetary like reduced bill.

      • dan76n on 13/11/2023 - 06:51

        Just a thought but being on an annual prepaid and getting 60gb data will be pointless unless they let you use the 60gb first. They don't do this with data banking though, you use the data banking after your normal data.

        • Borg on 13/11/2023 - 09:19
          +1

          The special 60GB is first i.e. any data used between 24th Nov and 31st Dec is deducted from it and not your prepaid annual data.

          • djoz on 13/11/2023 - 16:11

            @Borg: Correct. I'd expect it to be this way. In the past, Amaysim has provided bonus data (Eg During Easter 2020, they gave 100 GB valid for just 4 days to persuade people to stay at home), they also used to give some 25 GB bonus data on the birthday month but it was valid only for 2 weeks or so (last 2 weeks of your birthday month).

            The Sad part though was, they didnt have a clear different bucket "Bonus Data" displayed on the App for us to understand how much was still left. It was a manual calculation.

            This time around with their updates to their App, I am expecting a third bucket "Bonus Data" along with the existing two "Plan Data" and "Data Bank", so that we clearly know how much is left of the Bonus Data, to be used by 31 Dec 2023. I hope it happens this way.

    Allow me to play devils advocate here, this is (one of) the first MVNO that has stepped forward with an "apology" for something that was entirely not their fault. They did not need to provide anything as technically Amaysim didn't do anything wrong. Will be interesting to see how the other MVNOs react or if they even acknowledge the situation.

        Optus acquired Amaysim but has largely kept business operations and everything separate. Something like (the soon defunct) Gomo was entirely designed by Optus for Optus and is getting culled by Optus.. and is weirdly porting people off to Catch Connect.

        Amaysim acquired Vaya, so technically you could say Optus owns Vaya too, but the three brands operate independently of each other.

    I'm not one to even neg a SUBS deal, but at least with SUBS it's something I can pay for and then get. No one is seeing this "deal" and able to go out and get amaysim with a 60GB bonus. Existing customers get it automatically, so it's not even like a targeted deal. Literally just a PSA.

  • BargainMe on 12/11/2023 - 19:43

    This isn't a deal, it's just a mediocre response to the network outage, no new customers can even take up this 'deal'

  • Kustard King on 13/11/2023 - 12:33

    Does anybody know if you move to this plan from another - does it carry the data over and extend the expiry date of calls + existing data?

  • djoz on 18/11/2023 - 09:31

    Got my Free 60GB Bonus Data credited around midnight 18-Nov-2023, so about a week earlier than the due date promised by amaysim.
    Valid for next 44 days (up to 31-Dec-2023), so I think it's pretty good.
