      I'm sure they already leaked enough

  • Seven days ? What does this become after that ? Redundant ?

      Exactly. Not worth giving Floptus more data to leak for a pitiful 7 days

        You know that it won’t be them in the next data leak, don’t you ??
        It will be a different company altogether, possibly the ones you’re with now !! 😜

        • Or one that has Singh in the data

  • Ooooh, great for slim slutting.

    • You dirty (sim)slut!

  • I cant see anywhere in the app to do this

      I just downloaded the app now and there's a banner to click on the first screen where you can login or signup.

      Only applies to NEW customers

      So when you download the app it says
      1. Login
      Or
      2.New to Optus?
      Followed by try for free 7days etc.

        Not just new phone customers either. I have Optus internet and looks like I'm not eligible.

        Wasn't going to use it anyway, but just thought I'd put it out there.

    Go to Shop Tab > Deals > Optus Network Trial. Try for free (appeared among the last few offers after lots of scrolling).
    If still can’t see, make sure you have My Optus app (version 10.12 or higher)

      Thx for this mate! Was looking around in all the various banners etc and couldn't find it. This is exactly the comment I was hoping for.

      Cheers mate!

  • Can you keep your current number?

    • Just looked a bit more, you can't.

    • No, Diggerty.

    Work overseas?

    • International roaming is not available on this plan.

  • Service automatically cancelled after 7 day trial.
    Like watching the cursed video from Ringu.

  • This trial is a good idea. It shows that I can only get 3G 4G (after restarting) inside my house. Telstra gives me full fat 5G.

    Every provider should have this option.

  • Thanks OP! Took less than 5 minutes to set up. Didn't realise that you could only have 1 Esim active at anyone time. But that's okay!

    • It depends on your phone - eg iPhone 13 and newer can have two eSIMs active at once - iPhone 12 and older were only 1x eSIM and 1x plastic SIM active at once.

    Great marketing idea. Vodafone should do the same.
    Many of us have been burned over the years with poor reception on Optus and Vodafone, but maybe times have changed having gone from 2G to 3G to 4G and now 5G.
    If we try it for free and it works well, opens up options to change to rather being stuck on Telstra and their rising prices.

  • Time to prank call all my Ex GF

    • And not a single free eSIM was redeemed thy day.

  • "No commitment. No credit card required" and no data security

    PSA: 2 years ago optus happily let all their customers data get stolen

      2 year anniversary celebration!

  • Strange, after I installed eSim, my number is 04xxxxxx58, but if I call someone they get another number 04 xxxxxxx21. If they call this number, it says it is not connected, but if they call 04xxxxxx58, it goes through. Is anyone having the same problem as me?
