Similar to this deal, Amaysim is now offering a targeted $200 off coupon for their phone range. The G54 is now more expensive but still a good deal at ~~$109 $39 delivered ($79 $9 device cost + $30 plan).~~ Sold Out

I couldn't live with paying more for the G54 than those who bought in July so I decided to pay more money to buy the Samsung A35 for $129 instead lol. OzBargain logic! Expired

Some other deals that might work for others:

Coupon expires 31 August.
Coupon expiry extended to 30 September.
Coupon expiry extended to 31 October.
Coupon expiry extended to 30 November.

Mod Note 16 Oct: Existing Customers can now buy the phone, without renewing.

    A35 for $299 seems like a better deal than the G84?

    • itsmoe on 01/08/2024 - 17:25

      It's $200 off with a coupon but it's targeted.

      • Mortgagetightass on 01/08/2024 - 17:28

        Targeted? I'm not logged in and just saw the A35 is $299?

          @mortgagetightass you can get $200 off with a voucher code so the A35 becomes $99 + $30 phone plan = $129 delivered.

          G54 is better in memory size (8GB) also connection compatibility with eSim support. The Amaysim Samsung Galaxy A35 is SM-A365E model, not sure if Amaysim locks the eSim function (sim card manager is not at the phone settings menu), or will they unlock it later, or officially is not supported.

        This has always been the case. Existing amaysim customers just need to 'commit' renewing their same plan again on current plan expiry.

        How did you do this? My current prepaid plan with Amaysim is the 1 year one and if I chose existing, it gives me warning "your bank data will expire" and I still have more than 6 months left with my current plan.

            @djoz: for Amaysim, yes, it does as in replying this comment, the credit card is loaded into account for auto renewal. And end up changed to the 32gb plan+ phone, I did not see the bonus data in my account yet - 2 hours ago.

            confirmed - current customer need to change to new plan, if they are not one of the 28 days plans & 365 days plans.

            NOT confirmed - current customer in one of the 28 days plans & 365 days plan, need to early renew or change plan one of the 28 days plans & 365 days plan.

          I suspect $200 is as high as it's ever gonna go (at least before 3G is unplugged) because that's what they were offering in August when they thought it was going to be switched off at the end of the month.

        I'm wondering if I should bite today or wait too.

        On the one hand, I'm thinking $200 off is probably the best they are willing to offer, before 3G being switched off at least (as in they'd planned for the gradual increase to $200 over the past few months).

        But on the other hand, phones are only ever going to get cheaper.

      A35 has a better processor, better screen, better cameras and just better everything. It also has longer OS (4yrs) and Security updates (5yrs), compared to the measly 1 year OS update (From Android 13-14) and 2yrs security update for the G54.

It's only A35 256 GB version is UFS 3.1, 128GB no eSim support version from Amaysim doesn't look like meeting the speed of UFS 3.1., it will be the same as G54 UFS 2.2. but overall, this basic version of A35 still better than G54 in screen, 4k video, nfc feature etc., if you have the $200 discount, it will be $90 different between A35 and G54.

        • pennypincher98 on 01/08/2024 - 19:35

          To put it simply, Voice over LTE is calling over "data lines" rather than the cellular network - and VoWiFi can do this over your WiFi network. Make sure your phone has the correct bands and settings to do either of these.

          Prefer LTE I'd assume to mean "Connect to '4G' wherever available", which will soon be the only thing available.

          So no, these are different.

            @AH: Enabled VOLTE on my phone using above trick. Still getting recorded message from Amaysim abt my phone being impacted. Am I in suprise at end of October? How can I 100% certain I won't be impacted.

      FYI poco X3 NFC works on 4g on vodafone / kogan. I have same phone and moved this network with no issues as they have already shutdown 3g.

      Its embarrassing that Telstra cant get the settings sorted for this but their competitors already have done so.

        Why/how does it work on Vodafone/Kogan 4g if it won't work on Optus/Telstra 3g/4g as per the messages I have been getting?

      If you're gonna commit fraud, just inspect element?

        How's it fraud? I've asked them before and they accept discount codes.

          Usually its discount codes you have access to. Having said that they don’t usually check. E.g you could claim amaysim gave you a 500 off code because one person had it. Then send that as an example.

            @AH: Yeah fair enough, will give it a pass.

              @mac2403: I mean I love a good 28D/Coles price protection claim too as much as the next guy but don't go ruining it in such way - I'm still just waiting for the day they cancel all our policies because it feels out of conctr for a select few (including myself)
