Optus - new $60 unlimited call plans with 5GB of data from June 10 - no lock in

"Under the new plans, $60 per month will give a user unlimited calls and texts and 5GB of data to download each month. The new plans also include automatic data top-ups, priced at $10, which adds 1GB of mobile data to a user’s account whenever they reach the limit of their existing quota. A similarly priced plan at Telstra for $70 a month would come with only 1.5GB of data to download. Customers at Telstra can buy an additional 1GB of data for $15 per month."

    The real game changer for me is the once-off $5 charge to add a data-only device (eg tablet, pocket hotspot) to the plan. I've held off on 3G for my tablet for so long because I couldn't justify the monthly cost when I could just tether off my phone. This changes everything.

    Incidentally, how does Optus fare in the ACT? I was a customer many years ago in Victoria and service was acceptable but not nearly as good in rural areas as Telstra.

      Update. I'm on a Nexus 5 in Canberra. Optus 4G in the ACT is 2300mhZ only for a range of reasons, which isn't supported by my phone. It means I'd be back on 3G. Oh well, guess I'll stick with my grandfathered Telstra plan.

    Amaysim Unlimited, which uses the Optus network is still better value for money.

      No 4G though.
      It does make a difference for people in 4G areas, cause Optus 3G is crap for using the internet.
