I found this deal on Woolworths catalog.

It seems Optus is increasing the prepaid price from 28 April 2025 to $350. So the sim package shows "Activate this sim by 27 April 2025"

I just visited Woolworths to pick one up, and found the sim card's actual expiry date is different. The one i bought expires in June 2025.

Inclusions shown on Woolworths catalog:

  • 260GB data on first recharge
  • Unlimited std talk & text within Australia
  • Roll over up to 200GB
  • 365-day expiry
  • Activate by 27/4/25

The link mod updated seems to be broken. You can find the details of the offer on Woolworths catalogue or screen shot here.

  • 4g or 5g?

      Not entirely sure, as I am not planning on activating the SIM now. But the back of the packaging says, "SIM is 4G and 5G capable."

    • +1

      its both, depends on your phone n reception + coverage

  • -2

    Such a short expiry, I would have bought another no way i'd spend $350. I bought one directly from Optus last month on sale and its expiry was 2027

  • so do you activate by 27 April 25 or by the sum expiry date june25

    • +1

      The packaging shows following:

      Activate this SIM by 27/4/25. If you activate or recharge after this date, the applicable price and inclusions may have changed. Visit optus.com.au/prepaidplans for current plan info and full T&Cs.

      It is unclear if Optus would change the inclusion after 27 April 2025 or not

      I am planning on activating the sim after the date.

      Update

      Just found this on Optus website. So i guess plan inclusions would not change?

      After this change, can I still use my voucher that I purchased before 28 April 2025?
      Yes, all vouchers will continue to work until their expiry and will provide you with the old inclusions. If you are having trouble redeeming your voucher contact customer care on 1300 555 002.  

  • Would this stack with the monthly 10% off?

    • +1

      I believe it does

    Recharges revert to standard in-market price/ inclusions which will change from 28/4/25: $320 increases to $350, gives you 300GB for first 3 recharges, then 220GB (or as otherwise notified)

    So if you activate after 27/4 you get more data.

  • the sim kit I seen in Woolworths today had sim expiry 24/6/25

  • can this be used in iPad as data sim?

    • +1

      yes

  • +1

    This or the 320GB from vodafone for $199? Both have 5g coverage

    • +1

      Optus.
      I've got both in the same handset and find Optus better for speed and coverage across Sydney.

    Can this be used to port my number in to or will I need to use the prepaid SIM number?

    • +1

      I purchased the SIM thinking that I would surely be able to port my number, but realised i cannot be sure.

      Just checked the packaging, no info. Then followed the activation link and found this on their activation FAQ:

      Can I transfer my current mobile number when I get a new Optus SIM/eSIM?
      Yes! Whether you’re getting a physical SIM or an eSIM, you can choose to keep your current mobile number or get a new one during the activation process. Here’s what you’ll need to ensure:
      * You must be the account holder with your current service provider.
      * Your number is currently active.
      You have access to the current mobile number for verification.
      * Check with your current provider about any early termination fees.

      So i guess you can use the sim to port my number in.

    • You can Port your number across but your number must still be active when you do…

  • Thanks for the post, I was looking for the deal on this sim plan. Got it sorted.

  • Not bad, but hopefully they'll have the cashback promo soon.

    Last year I had this $320 plan that was discounted to $220 by Optus, then a further $100 cashback from Cashreward, so effectively only cost me $120.

    • I have been waiting for that too, however they are upping the prices so I am not sure we will see that good of a deal again. I think this is as good as it gets atm.

      Or maybe I am wrong and they will try to sell the old cards at a discount with cashback.
