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.

              @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)

              • mac2403 on 02/08/2024 - 08:35

                @Shadowsfury: Haha yeah I think the same. Not trying to ruin it for anyone but I think they have accepted the 20k loss (policy limit) for the remaining customers and probably will just let it run until we all max it out. I'm guessing it's a very small number of customers left. I'm also pretty lazy with claims so need to be more opportunistic haha.

        Yeah these codes (copied from elsewhere but are the ones I used for my parents phone:

        Enabling VoLTE on the mia3 to survive the end of 3g involves punching some codes in.

        ##86583##

        This enables volte. Works on optus, vodafone I hear, but not telstra.

  • ArskinF on 02/08/2024 - 08:11

    Do I understand correctly:

    The hardware is unlocked
    The selected plan can be cancelled by the subscriber after a month

    All without penalty?

    • apple0604 on 02/08/2024 - 09:44

      This is how I understand it too. I believe we are correct. Min $30 plan add on is unavoidable but only happens once at the time of purchade the device and plan bundle if you turn off the Auto Renew under the setting.

    Are these phones unlocked? Or locked to Optus network? Recently I helped my friend to get her locked 4G phone unlocked in a Vodafone store. It's free to unlock it. Now she uses Optus.

    Edit: Unlocked phones :)

  • Stickout on 02/08/2024 - 13:19

    got lucky with the $150 promo last time, but not this time. my guess is that you only get $150 last time OR $200 time time, if you are targeted that is.

    • HomeAlone on 05/08/2024 - 11:23

    This isn't so targetted in reality. As long as you are an Amaysim customer, they will be happy to share a code with you if you contact them. Samsung A35 for $129 is a great deal I reckon.

    • apple0604 on 03/08/2024 - 11:08

      I contacted them and they told me it is targeted. I might try again.

      BTW, I do have active Amaysim service.

      • virhlpool on 03/08/2024 - 11:37

        They didn't ask anything more when I said I have a phone that's affected (they asked for model details of phone, of course). I mentioned that my service will be affected and I need to buy a new phone so a promo code could help (didn't say I missed it earlier or anything). This was good enough.

        • lansi23 on 03/08/2024 - 19:59

          I tried asking for a code to upgrade my phone and they said current promo is for those affected by 3G shutdown and their system shows that my phone is not impacted. so no code for me.

          • virhlpool on 03/08/2024 - 21:08

            @lansi23: Of course, it's meant for customers whose phones are impacted (as per their understanding).

    Went on live chat to ask about the codes

    They gave me one almost straight away for $200 off

    I have two plans with them however so asked for a second one - they said one should have been sent via email (maybe it was but at the time it didn't click and perhaps I deleted it). They gave me another code saying it was the one in the email that I couldn't find - was for "only" $150 off though.

    Will definitely be picking up one phone, the other if I don't use will share via the code request megathread.

    • Collorfari on 05/08/2024 - 13:57

      the phones you were using are effected by the 3g shutdown?

        Yes - 2x Xiaomi Mi A3

        (well they claim they are impacted and keep getting the SMS/emails about it, but with some dial codes I think I got them working again, have set reminder to recheck on shut-off date and am ready to replace if they really don't work.

      Confirming they seem pretty relaxed about handing the $200 codes out. Went on live chat using the account I have my 3G dashcam service on, and in under 2 minutes was offered a $200 code without asking.

      • doejohn on 06/08/2024 - 13:09

        Is it available to new customers, or just to current customers? Maybe I’m gonna try to opt in :p

          +1

          No idea. The speed at which the chat agent offered the $200 code suggestd that they didn't even look up the account to see how it it was.

          The interaction was along the lines of

          Hi. I'm using an amaysim service in a car dashcam that is 3G only. Can you advise if that will be affected by the 3G shutdown.

          What model of mobile is that?

          It's not a mobile, it's a dashcam in the car.

          Can you text 3 to the number 3498 and tell me what the response is?

          Sorry, no, I can't send texts from a dashcam.

          Did you receive an email with a discount voucher code?

          No, I didn't get one.

          We can't resend it but I can provide a new code for you here.

          Sure.

          A few seconds later, code appears…

          I have had the service for over 12 months, but as I said, it didn't feel like they had time to check anything.

          If you give it a go, report back here and let us know how it went

    Could somebody please explain step by step or confirm if the following is correct:

    • Purchase "UNLIMITED 32GB" plan for $30 (currently $10 until August 13 according to amaysim website)
    • Once it arrives register the Sim in old phone and wait for device to be detected.
    • Then check registered email for promotional code and purchase phone from their store.

  • virhlpool on 06/08/2024 - 13:40
    +1

    Question for those who have bought a new phone using $200 or $150 coupon code - if you don't need a new number/service, is it fine if you don't activate that sim at all (and hence no need to stop auto-renewal either)? All I needed was a phone but I had to order a SIM with the first month's plan ($30) along. I am thinking of simply discarding it without even activating, so I don't need to bother about stopping renewal etc.

    • kaikor on 06/08/2024 - 15:17
      +2

      Nope, I never open my sim pack at all, but seems they automatically activate the service and set it up as auto renew !!! Till end of the month I received an email saying they can't debit money off from me (as I already removed payment method from my other existing sim service there)

      So I quickly login and switched this new service to PAYG, so Amaysim is very dodgy on this, they should never activate the sim automatic like this !!! So be careful and make sure either you remove payment method, remove auto renew or switch over to PAYG before th month expiry.

    • Shahw on 07/08/2024 - 18:35

      @Lofty248 how about contacting them again on chat after putting the sim in old phone?

      • Lofty248 on 08/08/2024 - 07:53

        I did, it wasn't showing up in their system and they can't update it from their end, you can text '3' to '3498' to see what phone they have stored for your number.

        • Shahw on 08/08/2024 - 11:16

          @Lofty248 I thought this SMS will respond with whether you’re impacted or not

          • Lofty248 on 08/08/2024 - 14:57

            @Shahw: Pretty sure they use that system to decide if you get a code or not

    • TomGum on 08/08/2024 - 10:51

      Their system updates once a month. Usually towards the end.

      • Shahw on 08/08/2024 - 11:15

        @TomGum does that mean if you put a sim in the old device just for few minutes and take it out, that won’t update their system?

        Hi there,
        Once I selected the plan and added to cart, I was given two options:
        1. I'm new to Amaysim
        2. I'm already with Amaysim

        I selected option 1, then continue.

        There was then a section that said "add a promo"
        I selected "change" and then put my $200 voucher code in there, replacing the one that was already there. Once loaded, the price went down to $129 (with the plan included.

        That's all I did bud :-)

      @Lofty248 I have tried multiple times without any luck. Initially I didn’t have a service with them. Then I purchased their $10 PAYG and the sim is still on the way. In short, they can’t offer anything until the sim is inserted in the device and their system identifies that you’re impacted…

          @LostyJai I have tried almost everything. I inserted the sim in iPhone 4 on Friday and received an email of around 1pm today about the 3G shutdown but no code yet. According to them, the code is auto generated and as I started my service this month, so they can’t offer the code. But I may still get the auto generated one. So, let’s see what happens in next few days.

          • LostyJai on 13/08/2024 - 20:55

                      @LostyJai: @LostyJai, yes, it has started to show that. So, my guess is, their backend systems get updated on Fridays whereas it takes few more days for the SMS system to respond with correct status.

                      But no code email yet. Shutdown date has also been pushed forward, so I guess we’ll receive it by that time.

    Anyone found away to reduce the $30 plan fee?

    • Cobblestone on 08/08/2024 - 11:59

      $30 plan is $10 until 13th August

      https://www.amaysim.com.au/sim-plans/28-day-sim-plans/unlimi…

      • TomGum on 08/08/2024 - 14:43

        How do you get it for $10 during the handset purchase?

        • Cobblestone on 08/08/2024 - 14:53

          This is my understanding and process I'm following:

          First you buy the plan, SIM arrives, activate it, cancel automatic renewal (if you have a preferred provider), insert into 3G device and either wait for it to be detected by amaysims system (5 days) or start a live chat to request the promo code. Then purchase handset as an existing customer to enter code (before 31st August expiry).

          You cannot purchase the SIM plan + device as the promo code is only for existing not new customers.

            @Cobblestone: I asking using the $200 code, is there away to reduce the $30 sim fee.

              @TomGum: The $200 code only applies to the purchase of a new phone for existing amaysim customers who will be affected by the shutdown of 3G. The $30 sim fee is currently on sale for $10 if you buy before the deal expires.

              So buy the price reduced plan separately and then when purchasing the phone select the option to login as an existing amaysim customer to avoid paying for the combined $30 plan.

                @Cobblestone: You actually can’t buy a handset without paying the $30 plan fee regardless if you already have a service. I’ve tried.

                  @TomGum: I'm currently awaiting my SIM to arrive in the mail before I can try to purchase the handset, ordered two days ago so I'm yet to test it.

                  But that certainly doesn't sound right as when I choose the option for "Use an existing amaysim plan" below "Choose your mobile plan" on any of the phones in-store the plan is then removed. If you're at the stage to purchase a device attempt that option and check your cart before committing. Otherwise try live chat with an amaysim rep or another user here may have a better answer than me.

                    @Cobblestone: I’m in the same boat as well. Still waiting for the sim to arrive. I purchased the $10 PAYG and will see how it goes. Not sure if PAYG will be fine or I may have to subscribe to a $10 plan before purchasing the handset. Does it have to be a minimum of $30 plan? I know it’s reduced to $10 for few more days. There’s another $10 plan as well which I plan to continue.

                      @Shahw: From what I've read on here other members have mentioned the "Unlimited" plan is required. Somebody said they purchased a $2 SIM from Woolies but it wouldn't work without a recharge. Live chat told me the promo code is for existing customers without any specifics but would not confirm if it was for pre-existing customers or newly existing customers so I gauged all available info and took the $10 gamble.

                    @Cobblestone: Existing plan is terminated early and the price of the bundled SIM is added total- result was the same for either existing long expiry or $2 SIM.
