Posting this because it can be activated on the 365 Day "Pay As You Go" Plan & will give you $40 credit. For clarification this is the $40 80GB starter pack which is on sale for $20 with 100GB if you activate on the 28 day plan, but when you order it's best to say you're porting even if you aren't. This avoids the sim coming already activated on that plan, then when it arrives you can activate on the PAYG plan online.
Equates to $13.00 after cashback.
The PAYG plan is handy if you want to park your number or need a phone for mainly receiving calls with data turned off.
Also Amaysim works overseas for receiving SMS (please comment on your experience with this).
