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.

                      @randomusername2017: Thank you for clearing that up, I have a better understanding now. Still not a deal breaker but unfortunate there's no way to avoid paying for the $30 plan while purchasing a device.

      I think this might work but haven't actually done it myself:

      • Buy a $30 SIM pack currently on sale for $10 from WW.

      • Activate on PAYG plan, giving you $30 credit in the account.

      • Buy the phone and enter the phone number from above. It will say the plan doesn't qualify and requires you to upgrade to the $30 plan. Accept the plan change and it should deduct the $30 from the account credit.

      • TomGum on 09/08/2024 - 21:25

        Sounds good in theory, but I have an active service with $10 credit and it didn’t deduct $10.

        • Shahw on 09/08/2024 - 22:05

          Exactly same as me @TomGum. I also have $10 credit. May I know what exactly have you tried?

          If you upgrade to the $30 plan first and then go to purchase the handset, do you have to renew the plan again? Or, having the $30 plan before the handset purchase is good enough?

  • SuperLate on 08/08/2024 - 14:10

    All my old phones are 4g except Sony Ericsson Walkman which is 2g. Will I get a code if I use Amaysim Sim in Sony Ericsson device ?

      After I saw this deal, I moved my amaysim to an old Sony which has 4G but VoLTE does not work.
      A few days later, I got the 3G shutdown messages, and today my $200 code arrived.

      • SuperLate on 09/08/2024 - 14:57

          I inserted a new sim yesterday in iPhone 4 and received the following response from 3498 (seems like their system was updated on 02/08/2024):

          Hi there, you can only use this service to check if your mobile phone is impacted when 3G is switched off. As at 02/08/2024
          our records show that your device is not a mobile phone, you'll need to get in touch with Optus (Optus customers only),or your service provider to confirm if your device is compatible

In short, we only need to wait for 5 business days with the hope that their system detects our device and we get the email…

    I'm curious, has anyone bought a phone + prepaid plan (via this deal) and asked Customer Service if they can cancel and refund the plan due to change-of-mind?

    • TomGum on 10/08/2024 - 20:49

      I tried on the last deal. They said they can’t refund $30 since it’s part of the phone purchase.

      • Empharand on 10/08/2024 - 20:53

    Just got my code now!

    Brand new customer, registered for the 365 day plan on 8th August, been getting a few SMS about the 3G disconnection, numerous phone calls/live chat to Amaysim and they said I cant get a code because I am a new customer. They advised to wait as it is automatically system generated. Checked my email this morning and I have the $200 discount code and also same code via SMS. Got the A35 for $129 which is a bargain (365 day plan not applicable for the phone discount port).

    I am going to put the new SIM into that same old iPhone 4 to see if I get another code. Will update if it works.

        • Saiya on 22/08/2024 - 11:41

          Just an update, still haven't received any messages about 3G warning, texted the number 3 to 3498 and received a message saying as of 16/8 you're using this device: iPhone 6 and its not affected. But the SIM is still in the same iPhone 4. So looks like they flag the IMIE when they send off the coupon code. Oh well worth a try.

  • neworder on 16/08/2024 - 20:43

    Thanks heaps. Got G54 for $29 all up. But you need to be on the $10 7 day plan to begin with. Then make a purchase and log in to your account. It will ask your to renew another $10 together with $9 handset.
    My spare parked number was originally on PAYG plan with 365 days which has got $10 credit already in it.
    So by switching it to 7 day plan , it used up my $10 to pay for it. Then another renewal of $10 plus handset cost. Just make sure you switch back to PAYG or port out within 7 days so to stop recurring charges. Hope all that aren’t so confusing.

    • pikachupw on 16/08/2024 - 21:09

      If I "switch back to PAYG," will the number stay valid for the next 365 days with a balance of $0?

      • neworder on 16/08/2024 - 21:49
        +1

        I am yet to switch back and test it out. But my experience with my other switches from 28 days plan to PAYG, it extended PAYG approximately
        11 months . Not sure how they work it out.
        The other thing I am not sure is that I renewed in advance with another $10 but it won’t be used until my first 7 day is done. And if I would switch back to PAYG as soon as I receive my G54 next week , where would my $10 go to?
        I will normally put in $10 recharge voucher as some credits just to park that number. I know that one of my number has less than $1 left and every time if I make a call, it will play me a message of warning of low credit before the call gets connected.

        • s0805 on 17/08/2024 - 12:43

          @neworder, trying to understand how it worked for you. So I have 365 day PAYG plan with them on $26 credit + have another 30 day plan with them on 28gb. Based on what you said, before I purchase handset I convert my PAYG to $10 - 7 day plan (existing credit from $26 will be used to pay for that switch, leaving $16 credit behind). Does that mean $16 credit lost on the switch? OR other option is I change the 30 day/28gb to $10 - 7 day plan. Costing me $10 upfront. After all this, I buy handset with further $10 plan?

          • TomGum on 17/08/2024 - 12:51

            @s0805: First option would do it.

            • s0805 on 17/08/2024 - 12:55

              @TomGum: so do I loose credit of $16 + pay $10 when i buy handset. So in total it cost $26? Is that right?

              • TomGum on 17/08/2024 - 13:03

                @s0805: When you change your plan to $10 plan you will have $16 left. Then when you buy the handset on this number you will only have to pay $10 for the plan out of pocket but your $16 credit will still remain. You can’t use the $16 credit towards the handset + plan upgrade.

                • neworder on 17/08/2024 - 13:43

                  @TomGum: That is correct. If you have credits in PAYG plan, you better use that to switch to $10 plan , then afterwards just switch back to PAYG to park the number.

                    How was the $10 renewal handled in your case since you were on PAYG, but had already paid for the early renewal?

    Trick that might work with someone , turn off your active amaysim number for a bit and ask amaysim customer service to provide you a code over the phone and they might refuse to offer one first time saying your phone may not be impacted (might have to repeat the process ) and they might still refuse to provide one over the phone , keep you phone/sim inactive for few days and you might receive one in a email/text , worked for with a sim that was only 4-5 days old . Good luck

      Do you mean you have an active sim but just turned off your phone, then eventually got a code via email?

      So you started this with a brand new sim 4-5 days ago, and then received the code?

        Yes I had a new sim activated 4-5 days ago and called them to ask for the code 1-2 times over the chat and they said your phone is not impacted and refused to give one and I took the sim out of the phone 4-5 days and when inserted the Sim got a text/email mentioning your phone will be impacted and got the code via email/text
