Currently you can preorder the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge 32GB through Optus for $85pm on a 24 month plan which includes unlimited calls/text, 6gb data and up to 300 mins of international calls to selected countries. Currently the s6 edge 32GB has a RRP of $1149 so on this plan the handset works out to be $600! ($60pm on a SIM only plan so handset is $25 pm). I think its a nice saving for someone looking to purchase the S6 Edge on a plan.
Phone is available from April 10.

      Can you post the link to that Telstra offer. Telstra's site is only showing up to 3GB (XL) plan @ $138 now!
      
      edit: I have no idea where you're seeing 6GB on the Telstra plan? Even for just the basic S6 Telstra's site is coming up as $99 for the 64GB with 2.5GB of data + a bonus 1GB or $1000 worth of calls/MMS!

    - [Deactivated] on 03/04/2015 - 11:46
      
      The difference is minimal. My work phone is on a Telstra Business PLan and the speeds for both Optus 4G PLus and Telstra 4G are off the charts, so OPtus is the winner compared to the rip off Telstra plans.

      I agree Telstra are a bit of a rip off, but a speedtest from one location doesn't represent much. From my experience, Telstra is consistently showing better data speeds and mobile reception.
      
      And the new Telstra plans coming into effect in a few days are(finally) reasonable.

if you don't need 6GB data you could go on the cheaper $75pm which gives 1GB of data.
- pull the lever on 31/03/2015 - 13:28
  
  Except that the phone is 4G+ compatible, so you'll chew up 1GB of data in no time (that is unless you monitor your internet usage on your superfast phone like a hawk.)
  - mattacrazy on 31/03/2015 - 18:20
    
    Yeah, 4G(+ doesn't really mean much in terms of speed) makes smaller data amounts just too small unless you're really careful. Almost anything that adapts quality to speed is gonna pick something really nice and chew through a lot very fast.

    I have the Note 4 from Optus with 1.5GB/month. I haven't gone near using that amount and I use my phone quite often. 1GB is more than enough for most people who don't spend their life staring at their phone.

Geez the plans of flagships are going up astronomically.

Its interesting how Samsung is following Apple's trend of creating different storage sizes and locking the design down.
Seems Samsung is trying a new direction, will be interesting to see whether it takes off.

I think this locking down of storage and sealing the battery is more like a step backwards then a step forwards.
It's one of the main differentiators between the operating systems, the point of difference between Android and IOS.

Tempting… very tempting… but with these new Telstra deals out, I might just stick with my Nexus 5 on a casual plan for another 6 months and see what happens. LG and Sony are still to come, plus another Nexus further down the line.
Rukiata on 01/04/2015 - 01:32

this is tempting .. Is it cheaper to just buy the phone outright? cause i have one pre orded for $825 or should I just get it on a plan is that cheaper?? its just a Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB model and i want the cheapest plan, I really need help I dont know much about plans only know it cost more over time but im not sure, if anyone could help please
- striker5950 on 01/04/2015 - 01:50
  
  Where did you pre-order from for 825?
- dontpanic on 01/04/2015 - 02:09
  
  As per the OP's description, the phone works out at a cost of $600 over 24 months. The plan is the equivalent of the $60 BYO plan, which means handset repayments are $25 per month. That's for the 64GB model.
  
  So you'd only want to purchase outright if you don't want to be locked into a contract for 24 months - or you feel you can get better value on the plan side of things (i.e. something better for less than $35/month).

  where did you preorder this?!?!
- tarken on 01/04/2015 - 10:55
  
  +5
  
  Well the benefit of buying outright vs plan depends on what sort of calls/text/data combo you are after..
  
  For example, if you bought the S6 32GB model for $825 that works out to be $35p/m over 24 months..
  
  And if you just go for a cheap plan like Vaya $24 (which uses optus 4g) which gives you $650 of calls/text and 2GB of data.. so in total you would be paying $59 p/m over 24 months ($24 for plan + $35 for phone).. you would be better off with Vaya (the nearest equivalent plan with Optus is $76 pm)
  
  But if you are after unlimited calls/text and more data, Optus would be better.. on the $44 Vaya plan (which has unlimited calls/text and 3GB data) you would be paying $79 pm ($44 for plan + $35 for phone).. Compared to Optus $80 p/m plan where you get double the data 6GB as compared to 3GB with Vaya..
  
  Hope that helps..

    I dont like sparkling water btw, but i think s6 edge is a bit sexy compare to normal s6.

  My friend has the Note Edge and he said it's a massive gimmick. After a month he stopped using the edge display and said the only reason people should buy it is if they appreciate the looks of their phone. I am someone who slaps a fat rubber case on my phone, so edge means little to me.

    That's probably why Samsung offers both.
