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.

    3G team will try their best not offer any codes over the phone or chat. I think the hack has been closed down for majority of people.

      With the number of clicks on this deal, it's been well and truly Ozbargained!

    I paid $39 for the Moto G54, then I asked them to put the $30 on my existing SIM after they had sent a second number, and they agreed to just refund the $30 prepaid purchase.

    It looks like I actually got the Moto G54 for $9 delivered.

    ok, so i've had a few calls with the 3G people on the phone, and they all said the same thing - even though the sim is detecting that it's in a 3G phone, they will only provide codes to customers who are on a 3G phone since June this year. this is apparently their new rule that they are following. not sure if it'll change due to the delay in shutting down the 3G network.
    and they will NOT be able to provide any codes over the phone, all codes are automatically generated and emailed out.

    • TomGum on 24/08/2024 - 18:27

      Will just have to keep the sims in the phones until October 28.

    Received an email today regarding 3G shutdown. They must've been following up on a conversation.

    This is a follow-up email regarding your recent contact about the 3G Switch Off and you were asking for a discount.

    I am sure that you might've heard somewhere that we have a discount for this and you are right but it is limited and exclusive to those who initially we detected customers and I am truly sorry but we don't have any spare at the moment. Please monitor your registered email as the marketing discounts are system generated and directly sent to your email address.

  • s0805 on 28/08/2024 - 15:00

    Has anyone got extension on codes provided so far OR are they all expiring on 30/08? I am assuming with extension of 3G shutdown dragged in till Oct, codes may get extended as well…

  • Love a bargain on 28/08/2024 - 15:20

    Thanks OP!! Ordered Motorola G54.

    Paid $10 for a new 7 Day SIM Plan and $19 for the phone and plan renewal.

    • s0805 on 31/08/2024 - 08:30

      it look like early renewal amount ($10 vs $30) is changing based on what plan you are trying to renew as part of bundle…

      • No Username Found on 31/08/2024 - 12:18
        +1

        That's right. I initially tried to buy it with a $22 plan and the renewal came as $22. To bring it further down had to ask them to switch me to the 7 Day SIM plan without being charged again. Once the plan was changed, I got the renewal of $10.

        • s0805 on 31/08/2024 - 12:48

          can you elaborate further pls….so I have current $30 plan, are you saying I can call them to drop this plan to 7day without incurring any costs? Assuming they do this, then on phone bundle purchase I will only be asked to pay extra $10 on renewal. Is that right?

          • No Username Found on 31/08/2024 - 12:59

            @s0805: Correct. But the catch here is… it will only work if you're still within the 7 day period of the current pay cycle of your $30 plan and haven't made any calls or used any mobile data.

            • s0805 on 31/08/2024 - 13:45

              @No Username Found: oh okay. Haven't made any calls, but its been 2 weeks on the $30 plan…will give them to call to try…

                @s0805: @s0805, reading your comment, as i am about to renew my plan. Can i verify you already paid for $30 plan, asked them to drop you to $10 plan without any additional costs, followed by, doing a renewal of $10 plan. So essentially you paid $40 dollars in total? Thanks

        • OhNoUShiz on 12/09/2024 - 17:53

          @No Username Found, i chatted with the support. They told me the short term $10 7 days not eligible for renewal for phone bundle?

          • No Username Found on 12/09/2024 - 21:16

            @OhNoUShiz: It was certainly eligible 2 weeks ago. Check the link from my first comment under this post, that's how I ordered mine. They are now probably denying it just to get you to buy it with a higher plan. Maybe try to chat again hopefully a different person this time or give them a call. You should avoid telling them your real intentions behind changing the plan.

            • OhNoUShiz on 12/09/2024 - 21:54

              @No Username Found: Ok thanks, will try. Did you pay the initial $10 to jump onto this plan before renewing the plan again under phone bundle? So $29 in total?

              • tshepherd on 12/09/2024 - 22:34

                @OhNoUShiz: I did something similar 3 weeks ago. Bought a $30 starter pack for $10 when it was on offer at Coles, and activated it on the $10/7 days plan. The balance of $20 remained as credit on my account.

                Put it in an old 3G phone, got a discount code 5 days later.

                Bought the G54 for $9, had to renew the $10 plan, but the $10 renewal came out of the $20 credit, so I only had to pay $9 at the point of buying the phone. Total investment $10 for the starter pack, and $9 for the phone, and I still have $10 credit in that account.

                  @tshepherd: Do you know if you can do the same (i.e.activate it on the $10/ 7 days) with the $22 starter sim from Woolies? It's currently on special for $10, whereas the cheapest I can find the $30 starter sim is $15 at Coles.

                    @Love a bargain: No experience with that, but I have activated the $50 starter sim (bought for around $25) on the $10/7 day plan before, so it would seem likely that you can.

                        @Love a bargain: Amaysim $25 is Coles exclusive and the special sticker may be missing. Coles App(selecting instore shopping) shows the correct price.

    Moto G54 v/s Samsung A13, which one?
    I am trying to do a compare at GSMArena.

    • Neoika on 31/08/2024 - 14:04

      This G54 has 8GB RAM and eSIM. I don't think anything on amaysim around the price range is comparable. I have G51 too. I think for the physical bulid, G54 is a downgrade, smaller screen and weaker body. If it relies on selling online mainly, specs are more important.

      • tdw on 31/08/2024 - 14:28

        g54 also has nfc, which a13 doesn't. and some people prefer a smaller screen…but aren't they both 6.5"?

          +2

          No NFC on a current model seems ridiculous to me. I'd expect NFC on everything other than a cheap base model. And GSMArena says it's an option, so I'd have expected an Aussie model to have it, given we are one of the biggest NFC-using countries in the world. That's a deal-breaker.

    • HairyChickens on 01/09/2024 - 19:32

      There's a chance that they might have extended the date because of the delayed 3G shutdown.

            • djoz on 04/09/2024 - 17:33

              @Love a bargain: The Samsung Galaxy S22 has dropped to $749 (before discount).
              So with the discount voucher, that'd be $549 device + Plan Cost.

              iPhone 12 is also at $759 (before discount).

              • Love a bargain on 05/09/2024 - 13:59

                @djoz: I meant I wonder if the prices will drop further after iPhone 16 is actually released next week

                $759 for iPhone 12 (before the $200 discount) is on par with market price. So if the market price drops, Amaysim might drop theirs too.

    As a part of this deal, has anyone tried to order the phone bundle with a new amaysim service, and choosing to port an existing number? I had some questions:

    • If we choose port an existing number, do we have to complete ID verification prior to purchasing the bundle?
    • Does the amaysim SIM received need to be activated as port of the same "existing number" that we entered as "to port" when purchasing the deal?
    • I am hoping the port process wont start until I want to, is this correct? Just asking out of concern listed here.

    Many thanks in anticipation.

    • s12321 on 03/09/2024 - 15:07

      in general,
      1. for purchase, you need to have the the id verification and the id to pick up the phone, ( i am not sure if you can use the code if you are not the account owner of the code. )
      2. no, you need to purchase a new plan, port in when you activate the sim
      3. basically you purchase a new sim with a starter plan in the case of port-in. so activate the sim within 30 days will be good, either a new number or keep the exist number.

      • djoz on 03/09/2024 - 19:44

        Thanks for replying. Just want to know on point 3, is it required to activate the SIM within 30 days? I am intending to have the activation at least 3 months later.

    I heard that the codes are not unique? Is that true?

    thanks OP.. ordered new phone for 19$. As new customer PAYG plan using old 3g phone. Didn't call anyone for promo codes. Just had to wait 2 weeks for the phone to be scanned for 3g only phone, (they usually scan it on every Friday and update the 3g effected phones list by Monday/Tuesday) and send emails accordingly..

    Got email on Tuesday that my 3g phone will not work form 28th Oct, and the next day got email with promo code to buy new phone)

    Good luck every one.
