Here's a deal for those who have been holding off on using their $200 coupon from this deal
The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is currently on sale for $269 and with the $200 coupon it should come down to $69, but for some reason it ends up costing only $19.
update: The increased discount was communicated in an email. $250 off applies to Galaxy A15 and A35 only. For all other phones the discount is still $200 off.
Thanks @RX7
14/11: Back in stock. Thanks @Kas

You can only get a unique code if you're currently on an Amaysim plan using a 3G phone.
They will know the device you're using and send you a $200 one time code to upgrade so you don't get disconnected.
I have been getting email from them everyday regarding my outdated iphone 5 but did not receive any code
Then refer to this message they sent me.
Get one of these selected new phones at no extra charge with your current plan by using the personalised code sent to you via email. Available until 30/11/24. If you haven’t received a code, just call us at 1300 222 500 for more details.
Thanks
Never got the actual code either when those emails started arriving but they'll happily send you one if you contact them through chat or whatever if you read the comments in that ozbargain thread.
@vawiyoci: My mum tried to contact them on chat regarding a replacement phone. Wouldn't give a code. Maybe they have to wait until Wednesday when the emails go out
Bought, thank you
Looks like still lots of people still using 3G phones🤕

Most not using, they still dig out their old 3G phones and put in amaysim sim card to get the voucher.
🤣🤣🤣🤣sneaky
Might not work anymore.
They were giving $150 codes and $200 codes every month since June.
The trick is you put the new amyasim plan you just order into your 3G phone and next month they send you another $200 code. It's an arse move but i can tell someone here took advantage of it.
someone? many one…
A few of us did and made good profits
Maybe the code is $250 now.
Try on the s22
Only took $200 off the S22. Tested it first thing after I discovered this.
A35 also $239 from $489, although not as good as $99 before.
$99 is / was the best value.
Now I can justify my wife why I don't throw away old stuffs ;). Found one 3G phone to put my amaysim card.

As my understanding they don't give out voucher anymore.
oh ok. too late then
Worked for me a week ago, it resets on Fridays though so you're either just in our just missed, worth a shot though. You won't be able to tell until the following wed though.
Now wife is hating me for buying grey imports
How is everyone going with 3G off? My "non compliant" phone still works - can call 000 and general phone calls. No more annoying message before the call made as well
Or its not off yet?
It's being turned off in stages and I can no longer call or sms. Your area may take a bit longer to cut off but will probably happen soon.
Have to wait and see. Thought it was done all at once
3G is still on here but I got blocked without notice. You think they might have mentioned that critical piece of information. I only found out I was blocked when I started wondering why SMs weren't arriving. Once I called out I got an RVA. As the old SIM wouldn't fit into the new phone I did a SIM replacement to a nano SIM which took about an hour to activate and put the SIM in a compliant phone. I have disabled 4G on it to save battery life while 3G signal exists here.
Is that phone will be locked to optus network only?
Would love to know as well
No.
what if we just change preferred network type to 3g ?
It reads the IMEI I believe.
It's not a glitch or anything, per promo email it's $250 off A15 and A35 but usual $200 off all other phones
Damn, should have waited for this instead of buying a Motorola.
It's not a glitch or anything
It's still a bargain :)
Agreed, I was just replying to the "but for some reason" statement in the OP
Damn! I only received a discount code for $200 not $250.
I ordered the A35 for $129 (inlcuding $30 32GB / 28 days plan bundle) on Thursday, 31-OCT.
I wonder if they will refund the $50 if I call them.
When did you receive the above email offer?
1st Nov.
If you had waited a day you would have been able to use the same code for $250 off
but the price has gone up to $489 since then, not $399 anymore
Damn, I got a few SMS from them regarding the 3G shutdown but no code. Tempted to contact for a code but I ordered a few of those X Pros earlier and don't want to push my luck. If this is still on after my phones ship (or after I get a cancellation email) I'll hit them up. Cheers OP! Ripper phone for 19 bones.
There's time, effort and money involved in getting a code, So no one is gonna give it away. The code megathread is just 7 pages of requests.
Some people had sims from previous CB deals so just put them into old phones. I think a few people gave away codes.
Why does this two model phones have higher off discount? What’s the catch with these two models?
Just inserted my amaysim in the iPhone 5s, will that work?
No
Why not?
Another commenter above said they have stopped giving out codes now, that it's too late
True no way battery still works !
If you did it a couple of weeks ago, maybe. Unlikely now but if you have a sim, may as well try. 3G shut off early today or sometime yesterday in my area so its gradually hapoening. Takes time for old phone to register into system and they may have stopped giving codes anyway. They also may have stopped scanning the system for old phones. You dont automatically get code by putting sim into old phone.
It has been SOS only, no network
Was working as normal for me early yesterday. Could call and send messages. Changed sometime late yesterday or early today.
is it locked to amaysim?
No
many thanks
when you search all phones why does its display two Samsung Galaxy A15 5G are they both the same specs?
No idea why it's shown twice, but both link to the same product page.
i guess this is the next best value for money but it only has 4gb ram? at least OS updates will be for a few years.
Thanks Op ordered 1 hope order doesnt get canceled as i had ordered 6 x $1 pro x earlier today. at least The A15 starts with Android 14 and gets 4 Android updates plus 5 years of security updates. i have 2 more $200 codes wondering what would be the likely hood be for out of stock phones to be restocked before the end of Nov? or is it best to wait to see if the G54 comes into stock but now it costs more at $79 as opposed to the a15. at $19 or its not worth the risk and i should use the codes to buy another 2 x A15 before they go out of stock too?
You have too many codes. SHARING IS CARING.
P.S. Refreshing my inbox for a spare code msg.
Can I get one code If anyone has a spare? My dad needs a phone
Thanks!! Ordered A15 for $19
I only have a PAYG amaysim. Can I buy the $30 plan which is currently on promo for $10 separately, and then use that plan to get the phone - so it will cost $29 total?
Otherwise it wants me to buy the plan at the same time and is only offering it at the normal $30 price (and no 18GB extra data) which would be $49 total.

In the $1 Optus X Pro deal people reported that this works, but only if you choose eSIM.
Thanks. I don't have an eSIM phone and not sure if you can pay for the eSIM and just not use it.
However I went to Woolworths and found that they are selling a $35 starter pack for $12.
Used the credit to buy the $35 plan which currently gives you 84GB/28d. I was then able to buy the phone for $19.
Also used ww 10% discount and 4% off gift card (+ earned 23 ww points) so actual cost to me was $10.26.
If you only have a payg sim, how did you get a code?
@8azinga: You mean the $200/$250 off code? I thought all you needed to do was put the sim into a 3G phone, which is what I did, then got an email with the code last week
@surfingedge: I didnt get a code on payg and only when i switched to a 28 day.
Someone else also said it.
I'm on the amaysim 1 year plan, can I use this code for $250 off without paying anything additional for the plan?
There were reports earlier that for 1 year plan it gives some error/etc.
Has anyone purchased a phone with an existing one year plan, without renewing?
I purchased a Samsung A15 5G with the $200 voucher on an existing 1 year plan this morning.
Thanks so much!
The email mentioned a Honor 60 SE which I didnt want so I deleted the email. Lucky I came across this as we really needed a new phone for my son.
Found the email and ordered!
Huh. Whats this Honor SE, on amaysim?
Oh never mind. This is the phone he was using…..I think its a 3G phone so thats why I got the email code from Amaysim - to upgrade the phone.
It's a 5G phone, but because it's not officially sold in Australia it doesn't work out of the box with Optus and Telstra's 4G/5G bands, so they have decided to block it. If you follow instructions on reddit to change some settings it appears to still work with vodafone
lots of phones are out of stock, not sure if they will restock them in the next couple of days
Not sure why people dislike you… I know it's not an easy game. I also got 4 codes and 4 phones. There was always a risk, whether we would receive the code or not, but I got them for $10 each from Coles ($30 SIMs). I also requested the code from that Amaysim thread but didn't receive any. Then, I noticed some comments highlighting how to get the code using a 3G phone and sending the number "3" as a text to 3498. I followed that method and got the codes. If we can do it, why can't others? This is your well-deserved gift. Cheers!
A15 out of stock. Would've been nice to get 1 more. Annoying thing about the phone is it doesn't have esim
Insted of OOS, now it says "Not available online" , yesterday it said Out of Stock.
Not available online what does it mean? hopefully they restock it b4 nov 30 so i can use my last 2 codes
lol don’t blame adhd. Some of our best employees have adhd https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/12/26/developer-with-adhd-yo…
Well this is annoying, texting 3 to 3498 for me told me my old Galaxy s7 is "not a mobile phone" & its now unable to connect. Never got a code.
When did you first put the sim into the S7? Scan only happened once a week and unsure if they are even scanning still since some areas have already had 3G turned off.
Back in stock and just now ordered one with last remaining code… cheers!!!
Does this work if the IMEI of the incompatible phone has already been blocked?
There not scanning anymore is this correct? (If you happen to know)
how old and what sort of phones do you need to trigger one of these phones as arent all 3g phones 4g now?
correct me if im wrong but i think its ended they aren't allowed to register a sim on their network by acma ruling if phone doesnt support volte
For those who have not received a code:
I entered a live chat with Amaysim, and following through that my phone is affected by the 3G shutdown, the customer service agent provided me with a code.
Thanks OP, ordered for $19 as well
