I got an email with a code for an extra $150 off their EOFY deals, which includes the Motorola Moto G54 5G.

The code reduces the cost of the device to $29.00 however you need to add a plan (cheapest is $30 plan) bringing the total to a measly $59.00.

There could be some good deals on other phones but this one is likely to be the best.

I've flagged the deal as Targeted as I'm not sure if it is or not but better to be on the safe side. If the code turns out to be generic then I can update the post with the coupon.

Edit
I'm guessing I've been targeted because they think I'm still using a 3G device, hence the email I received refers to upgrading to a 4G/5G handset and that's what the additional credit is for.

              @Mugsy: The A55 is for my dad, to replace his centuries old moto. Still going but 3g only. If the sammy holds up as long as the moto, i'll be surprised!! Testament to moto reliabilityđź‘Ťđź‘Ť

                @vinnycol: I can't comment on how long Samsungs generally last for. I got my first one (an S23U) during the xmas sales last year. Wife got a Fold 5… both our first Samsungs.

                The promised 4yrs of security updates or what ever it is is the best benefit IMHO assuming the hardware lasts as well. This is one of the reasons I want to migrate Dad to the A55… he and mum have been doing lots of international travel over the past 1.5yrs but international roaming on Amaysim has been mostly miss. I think a phone with more regular uipdates and also an esim is essential.

                The moto g54 has a lens coating issue overseas (most of the posts from India)… not sure if any of that stock made it to Australia. But to be on the safe side, I think the A55 is a better purchase if you want the device to just work and not potentially cause headaches.

                Also note that the A55 has flat aluminium sides I believe… might feel uncomfortable to hold so a nice case with curved sides might be a good idea for your dad.

                The free case that comes with the G54 I find to have flat sides that results in edges that aren't comfy to hold. OK if it's a back up phone but if it was my main phone, I'd get a new case immediately.

                  @Mugsy: From GSMArena

                  Motorola Moto G54 for India is a different model

                  The India variant is called Motorola G54 Power
                  Key differences:

                  • 6000 mAh Batter in lieu of 5000 mAh
                  • 8.9 mm width in lieu of 8.1 mm to make space for the larger capacity battery
                  • Camera Module 50MP + 8MP Ultrawide in lieu of 50MP + 2MP Macro

                  As you mentioned, quite possible that there mah be a lens issue if many people have reported. However, the lens module in Moto G54 Australia/International version is different as mentioned above.

                  • Mugsy on 22/06/2024 - 10:51
                    +1

                    @djoz: Yeah, i am hoping the issues are only with the Power version. But so many online comments about the lens coating issue refer to the G54 only that it's hard to distinguish whether they are the normal G54 or the Power version.

                    But i have yet to find an Australian post about the lens coating issue.

                      @Mugsy: Yeah, hoping for the same. The phone is quite good otherwise for the price-point. Hell-yeah actually way too good for the price-point in this deal.

                      Was wondering - do we get a back cover/case with this phone in Aus?
                      Maybe @INFIDEL can asnwer.

                        @djoz: G54 comes with a generic clear silicone case… I previously bought a G54 from Big W some months ago so can confirm this.

                        If it had a screen protector, it would have been a complete package for me.

                        Ended up getting a cheap, tempered glass protector before passing the phone to Dad… note that the bundled case does press on the glass screen protector I got, lifting it up at the sides a bit and letting air in which is annoying. A plastic film protector would avoid this issue I think.

                  @Mugsy: I've still got an S10+ which is still going strong albeit battery life isn't great anymore, not that it was amazing when new!
                  Mixed reviews on the A55 but generally seems good, and apart from wireless charging, has all the features one would need. His motoG has done well for 9-10 years so about time for an upgrade…

  • catmao on 22/06/2024 - 11:27

    Many thanks, bought one and port another number to amaysim.
    How long can we delay the activation of the new SIM card? If anyone has experience.

    • Its4me on 22/06/2024 - 13:14

      Check the expiry date on the back of the pack. I still have a few packs from this offer https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/663347 with expiry dates through to 03/2025.

      • catmao on 22/06/2024 - 14:02

        Thanks. That makes sense.

      • djoz on 22/06/2024 - 15:30

        Do these still have to be activated under the same name used while buying? i.e. is it needed that the number being ported over has to be in my name?

        • catmao on 22/06/2024 - 18:43

          I think it needs to be the same name. Not sure if yu can create a new account under the name you need to port over, the code might work, but I wouldn’t know for sure.

  • wonderland2020 on 22/06/2024 - 14:27

    "For new numbers, the SIM comes pre-activated so the plan will be activated while the SIM is in transit. But no worries, once you start using the SIM/service within 15 days from the activation, the plan will automatically restart so you will still be able to use the plan for the full 28 days."

  • sicaboy on 22/06/2024 - 16:08

    Since it's out of stock, do you think if Amaysim will honour all the orders placed? From last year's iPhone 12 mini deal, it seems no one got order cancelled.

    • bamzero on 22/06/2024 - 18:28

      I don't think you can add it to cart so there will be no order to cancel (oh, if you mean existing orders I don't see why not).

      The discounted price @ $179 runs until 30/6 though (voucher valid to 31/7) so I'd keep checking on it. Might come back in stock before then.

    I am not sure how they are picking people that got the voucher, but I missed out it seems.

    I only received this email:

    Hi Jonathan,

    We believe you’re an amaysim customer that still uses the Optus 3G network with your mobile number 04XXXXXXXX.

    The 3G network is being shut down in September 2024. Once this happens, you will not be able to use your phone as you do today. Your ability to stay connected and make calls will be affected unless you upgrade to a device that has a technology called VoLTE, and is compatible with a 4G or 5G* network.

    Please check your device specifications to confirm you will need to upgrade.

    *5G dependent on selected plan, location and device.

    That email was sent to me just over a week ago.

        • RX7 on 24/06/2024 - 13:55

          Yes, shipping info (Startrack/Auspost for me) is provided once it's shipped.

          The order email says they'll send the tracking number once it ships. I also ordered Friday but still no shipping notification, only logging in to Amaysim it says my new SIM has been sent.

          Looks like I spoke too soon as I just got an Auspost notification of a new StarTrack parcel being added.

  • Iggemo on 25/06/2024 - 10:14

    Holy shit! Even with existing numbers they activate it before you even get the SIM, i just got an SMS saying my number is now being ported when i never wanted that, they are gonna stinge me out of my current plan with another provider.. WTF !!!

    • djoz on 25/06/2024 - 11:08

      Huh? But as far as I know, a confirmation code/SMS is needed for the port to start. How did the porting start without your consent via code/SMS reply?

      • Iggemo on 25/06/2024 - 11:10
        +1

        I dont know but it did. at 10.04 i got an SMS saying porting is underway, and can take from 3 hours to 3 days. You will receive an email when the porting process is complete.

        I immediately phoned up Amaysim and said WTF i dont even have the SIM, i never activated anything, WTF is this. The customer service rep said she has "withdrawn the port request" so im not sure if it was just an errant SMS message that came with the tax invoice for the purchase, or if they genuinely were about to port me out of my existing plan. Either way people might need to keep an eye out for this both now and in future when it comes to Amaysim !

        • djoz on 25/06/2024 - 11:25
          +1

          If the same SMS provides details of Tax Invoice and Porting as well, then mostly it is not the official porting message. A porting message would need you to reply to confirm, or enter a code on a screen where you are mid-way porting.

        Would this void the 2 year warranty?
        I think the 2 years is a great plus, given this price. Imagine at the end of 22 months something goes wrong with the phone. There's a good chance you'd get a replacement and it'd be a much better phone.

        As with the Optus Official Channel for Android upgrades, I think its only a matter of time, and it will be available after a few months, if not earlier.

          Well, I flashed with latest RETAPAC and it's now on Android 14 with May updates but software channel is still optus, not retapac. Security patch level is at the roms included May 2024 and update check claims its up to date but I don't know how far behind Motorola is with patch updates.

              Interesting about the warranty details it shows though.

              The rom it downloads is exactly the same as the RETAPAC on lolinet (which are also the same as the RETAIL roms on there).

              So I dont know, guess it's stuck on optus channel for now. ro.carrier is protected, not sure if unlocking the bootloader would help but I wasn't planning on doing that just yet.

                  @sicaboy: Fastboot method (which is what RSA is doing behind the scenes anyway)

                  There is a handy toolkit which will do it automatically here

                  Just download and extract rom, extract toolkit into the same folder and run through the menu options. Put phone in fastboot mode by holding Volume Down while booting.

                  You can do a full wipe install or an upgrade (in the rom there is flashfile.xml and servicefile.xml. They contain the instructions for the flash, servicefile wont erase userdata though. The toolkit will handle it though.) Being a new phone I just did a full wipe.

                  Of course, do so at your own risk :) Motos are pretty forgiving though. On lolinet there is a blankflash rom file that's used to get you out of the s#!t if you brick your phone and majority of the time would do the trick but I can't say I've ever needed it in my time flashing my old G5 and G6 phones. This is the first time I've done it on a Mediatek based one but nothing has changed with the procedure.

        A55 coz G54 all OOS

        • amitnsw on 27/06/2024 - 12:30

          Does your A55 has Optus ROM as g54 or normal? How is the on display fingerprint? Many ppl complains about not working most of the times.

            @amitnsw: Sorry haven't open or setup yet, hunting for case + screen protector first. I never will use fingerprint, always just use code to unlock.

              @kaikor: Curious why you don't use fingerprint?

              I like the idea that when I'm in public there's no code or pattern for any onlookers to see.

              Though annoying that Android decides every now and again that I need to use my code or pattern "for security" which almost always happens when I'm out at a shopping centre full of people and security cameras everywhere.

                @bamzero: I mainly use biometrics for this reason. Codes are so much easier to steal by onlookers.

              @kaikor: Fyi, it comes with a case.

              • kaikor on 27/06/2024 - 20:57

                @Mugsy: really? all the unboxing video I seen only comes with the cable, since when samsung phones come with a FREE case?

                • bamzero on 27/06/2024 - 20:58

                  @kaikor: Possibly thinking you got the G54?

                  • Mugsy on 27/06/2024 - 21:38

                    @bamzero: Ooops, yeah, I thought kaikor got the G54. My bad.

                    Samsung don't even give the wall charger… definitely no case with the A55.

                    • kaikor on 27/06/2024 - 22:32

                      @Mugsy: Yeah dont mind to also buy G54 too, as both in law's phones need to change for this stupid 3G shutdown. Hope by September closer to deadline, more cheap deals coming.

    • randomusername2017 on 27/06/2024 - 17:26

      I used CashRewards anyway while expecting to void due to voucher use but just noticed it's approved already (available a couple of days ago)
