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.

    So strange that I kept getting the email saying I’m affected customer, but doesn’t send out a code :( and I had been identified since Aug. called and they checked and said the system didn’t generate code

    • LostyJai on 18/09/2024 - 20:55

      Same. Did you call them before? Maybe if you call, they flag you.

      • Tila on 19/09/2024 - 11:16

        I did call them. Damn maybe they did :(

    Created a new account on 29/8 and received the Sim about a week later. Put it in an old 3G phone and just received a $200 promo code yesterday. Purchased the Samsung A35. Thanks OP

    If I buy a $2 amaysim sim card and put it into my daughter's old phone, do you think she'll get the discount code? She needs a working phone so we can check she's getting home from school okay - video calling us etc. Even if we could afford it, we don't want to spend $$$ on a phone for a 12 year old and the A35 looks like a great phone for her needs. Thanks

    • LostyJai on 20/09/2024 - 09:47

      The $2 sim is just a the sim card, you still need to pay for an active plan. It's a gamble, you may get it, you may not. It seems by not calling and asking for a code, you may have a higher chance. Good luck!

      • PatchyFog on 20/09/2024 - 09:55

        I just thought that maybe if I at least had a Sim - I threw my previous ones away as I went back to Boost - then there would be more chance. Do you think without a sim I could still call for a code?

        • LostyJai on 20/09/2024 - 10:26
          +1

          But you need an active plan, otherwise you're not a customer so they won't give you a code?

          Do you think without a sim I could still call for a code?

          No, but I admire your optimism. It's been established that Optus does a check each Friday and passes the info on to Amaysim a few days later. Unless the Amaysim offer is extended past 30/9/24, today is effectively the last day for the previously outlined approach to work. Depending when on a Friday Optus does their check, it might even be too late already. If you're willing to take a punt, activate an Amaysim service ASAP today, put the SIM in your daughter's old phone and cross your fingers. Text "3" to 3498 next week to see if it was picked up by Optus.

          • PatchyFog on 20/09/2024 - 12:24

            @Colin2905: I ordered a $10 sim card online, when thet comes I'll put it in her phone and keep my fingers crossed that they'll keep checking for another few weeks. Her Boost only has 15 days left on it anyway so worst case, she'll at least have credit until they (Amaysim) shut down 3g.

              • PatchyFog on 20/09/2024 - 17:51

                @Kelpei: True but I'm probably swapping over from Boost seeing as they're increasing their prices anyway.

  • Stickout on 20/09/2024 - 16:56

    i got the '3G shutdown' warning email a few times now since last week, but never got the code. well i gather it is a hit and miss thing and they might never send me a code. I never called them or anything. whatever their rules is, who knows. oh well.

    • Tila on 21/09/2024 - 10:19

      Are you an existing customer?

    • LostyJai on 21/09/2024 - 20:06

    • Neoika on 21/09/2024 - 20:59

      I think amaysim only gives out code once to a number. It seems pointless to generate multiple codes for one customer (to abuse).

      From your previous comment, you got one before and can still try using the old one for $200 discount(or contact CS to reactivate it?). It is your loss if you already gave it away, and better to start with a new number.

      • Stickout on 22/09/2024 - 19:15

        Yeah it was an expired amaysim that I renewed and under a different acc… go figure

  • Kremmen on 23/09/2024 - 23:27

    I've been getting the nagging SMSs and emails about my old phone but never received a discount code. When I finally got around to getting onto web chat and enquiring, they gave me one. So, if anyone else is getting the warnings, hop onto the chat and ask.

    My new $39 G54 is on its way, the cheapest phone I've ever bought and the biggest saving I've ever had from this web site.

    Thanks to contributors to this discussion who provided useful details! If it weren't for you, I might never have known that the A35 has no NFC and a single SIM! (i.e. It's crap.) Amaysim's web site doesn't give details of the specs at all. (I can still hardly believe that Samsung has a model the optionally has NFC yet they provide a non-NFC version in Australia, one of the biggest NFC-using nations in the world.)

      Hello, may I ask what the SMS and emails said? also what did you ask them on the web chat? I tried to chat with them, but they are asking what did the SMS said. Thank you

      • Kremmen on 24/09/2024 - 12:23

        The SMSs say: "URGENT NOTICE: Hi Kremmen from 28 October the 3G network is switching off. Your [phone brand and model] on [phone number] that you are currently using will not work. You need to upgrade your phone …" [blah, blah, it goes on for ages.] Pretty sure they'll know if they are sending you the SMS or not.

    • Stickout on 24/09/2024 - 12:20

      A35 without NFC? well that IS a concern then.

      • Kremmen on 24/09/2024 - 23:29

        Sorry, it was the A13 that was reported not to have NFC here even though it's an option. I thought they were talking about the relevant Samsung that others were talking about in this thread, but I was mistaken.

      Single SIM, for sure, but the A35 sold by amaysim (A356E-OPS) does have NFC

    • Kremmen on 24/09/2024 - 23:20

      Sorry, it was the A13 that was reported not to have NFC!

      Still, single SIM rules out a phone for me anyhow.

    • Tila on 25/09/2024 - 11:44

      Don’t the chat team tell you to call? I always got diverted to call but after waiting for so long on hold they always turn me down and say I have to wait. I was told they only give out code to phone identified from 15th July

      • LostyJai on 25/09/2024 - 13:13

        They now have an option for 3G shutdown and will chat to you.

      This comes right at the back of their 50 Moto G62 phones giveaway contest.
      They would have evaluated the leftover stock after giving away 50 phones, and then adjusted the price to further get rid of these phones.

  • djoz on 25/09/2024 - 16:10

    Has anyone recently ordered the phone bundle and chosen to port a number? I just want a confirmation the port doesnt commence on its own and I can port later (say 3 months later).

    • LostyJai on 25/09/2024 - 16:30

      I know you can order a new phone with a new number, then afterwards let them know in the chat you intend to use the service 3 months later and request for an account credit. Not entirely sure if you can port your number later, I don't see why not but maybe confirm with chat.

    • djoz on 27/09/2024 - 11:09

      Looks like it can be over 3 months as well.

      Were you an existing amaysim customer prior to this? If not, that is one thing they check.

      I imagine the few that got a code with a new SIM may have already been an Amaysim customer, and just adding a new service. The staff I spoke to that would be the reason why they received a code.

    I was just scouting for some cheap SIM Starter packs in-store at Coles, and saw a printed notice put up in the SIM Cards section. It stated that Optus and Amaysim will not be supporting new activations on unsupported phones and may also block such phones from using the amaysim network.

    See here:

    If you are new to amaysim and have recently signed up with a 3G impacted device, your phone will not be supported from 10th September 2024. This also applies to if you are an existing customer who recently downgraded to a 3G device. You will not be able to make/receive calls, text or use mobile data to browse the internet from an unsafe mobile phone from this date. Please view Optus's full Mobile Safety Policy.

    Unsure if they would enforce this, but getting a 4G VoLTE device (unofficially supporting VoLTE, Eg: Xiaomi/Huawei phones) is pretty sad.

    I am having a Xiaomi handset which does not have the VoLTE option, but I have force enabled it using the USSD Code, and have been using VoLTE for several years now on amaysim, but I still get the warning texts every day and after every call.

    • sekhon147 on 28/09/2024 - 18:36

      I can mostly confirm this. I have 2 sims in 3g phones from around 15sept. Nothing so far, wasted $20.

      • tdw on 29/09/2024 - 14:27

        get on chat and ask them for a refund. I just did this for my xiaomi mi4 that got booted from their network early. (and no, they can't give discount codes as they "system generated")

      Adding to this, here's the forum post which discusses further on this subject:
      Mobile Emergency Calling Legislation WARNING (E000 Warnings = Telco Not Provide Service to that device)

      Key points:

      • The E000 legislation states: Your phone needs to have VoLTE support by all Australia networks. For example — there are several Xiaomi / Poco phones which work with VoLTE on Optus and Vodafone by force-enabling VoLTE, but not on Telstra. The exact reason for this is not known. This may most likely be happening on phones that don't have B28 (700 MHz)
      • The way a telco will identify such phones is by the TAC Code (initial part of the phone's IMEI Number). Your phone may get flagged even if it is supporting VoLTE on certain networks, but not on all.
      • Telcos have been directed to discontinue service to such handsets, effective 01-Nov-2024 if the handset cannot support VoLTE on all Australia networks.
      • Optus, Telstra and their MVNOs have promptly displayed this warning/notice on their websites now.

      The worrying part —
