Hi,

The device cost for Apple iPad Mini 2 month-to-month from Optus are now:
32GB - $384 (Space Grey)
64GB - $480 (Space Gray / Silver)

EDIT #2
Please factor in 1 month plan cost, min. $5 My Mobile Broadband Plan (e.g. $389 for first month).

I would assume both device is Wi-Fi + Cellular due to tablet sim plans.

Comparison:
Currently Apple Store sells Apple iPad mini Retina 32GB Cellular for $589.

The Good Guys - 16GB Cellular - $529

    Last time they just had cancelled my order… no trust for Optus.

  • 7AnDi on 11/05/2015 - 16:35

    Whats the cancellation fee on these? Not a bad price to cancel it after one month or so

      http://smb.optus.com.au/opfiles/Shop/All/cis/Cis%20Documents/CIS_$5_My_Mobile_Broadband_Plan_250MB.pdf

      "The maximum cancellation fee is $35 on a 24 month contract and
      $26 on a 12 month contract. This fee will decrease during your
      contract period. If you cancel your plan, you’ll also have to pay
      any outstanding charges for your device if you have an equipment
      repayment plan. There are no cancellation fees for the month-to-month
      plan."

        Awesome. No cancellation fees for the month-to-month plan. thanks!

          The first month costs $5.

        • ironworthy on 11/05/2015 - 16:43

          Call up to cancel the sim and they will only charge for the tablet

        • babiguling on 11/05/2015 - 16:43

          you have to sacrifice paying $5 for online purchase, otherwise buy in-store, call your local store for stock

        • indecisive1 on 11/05/2015 - 16:44

          I updated to show the first month minimum plan of $5 My Mobile Broadband Plan, which totals to $5 (plan) + $384 (32GB device) = $389.

        • hongd on 12/05/2015 - 10:40

          @tchi6: the rep said it only works if you have existing plan with optus

        • ironworthy on 12/05/2015 - 11:00

          @hongd: At most you should have to pay the once off $5 and you should be able to cancel after as it is month to month based and you are not locked into a contract. But many including myself from the previous deal were able to get the $5 waived

        • aec on 19/05/2015 - 17:48

          @tchi6: how to get it waived? I received my iPad last week but still have not opened the package yet

        • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2015 - 09:24

          @alwayseric: have opened all but the sim. Yet to be charged.

  • hsct on 11/05/2015 - 16:45

    Wait a sec… iPad Mini 2 - 64GB is something new to me. Am I missing something here?

    Unless Optus is clearing out the leftover stocks from Nov 2014, there's no way you can find iPad mini 2 64GB from anywhere.

  • smpantsonfire on 11/05/2015 - 16:57

    iPad air 64gb and 128gb out of stock :( $1152 for a 128 iPad air and 2.5gb Data! Damn missed out.

    Edit: But $1140 for 2.5gb and iPAd Air 2 128gb on a 12 month plan, awesome!

  • babiguling on 11/05/2015 - 16:58

    Just bought one outright on Thursday 07/05/15 for $528.00, it's still sealed/unopened. It's gift for mom
    Anyone know if they could refund the difference? not even a week ago :'(
    Anyone on the same situation?

    • smpantsonfire on 11/05/2015 - 17:00

      From where?

      • jlogic on 11/05/2015 - 17:17

        Would say from Optus.

      • babiguling on 11/05/2015 - 18:02

        From Optus Melbourne. Already called the store, they can't do it. =(

        • ironworthy on 11/05/2015 - 18:10
          +2

          I'm sure that you can get refund since its unopened and under a week. Go in store and do it

        • smpantsonfire on 11/05/2015 - 18:21

          Yep, do it.

        • babiguling on 11/05/2015 - 19:08

          @tchi6: already checked with 2 different stores, they don't do refund. the staff actually asked the manager. and he said no. a bit sad, but still ok, still much cheaper than the current price most retailers are selling.

        • Circly on 11/05/2015 - 19:21

          @zsa82: it is unopened. I'm pretty you are able to return it.

        • moonphase on 12/05/2015 - 16:58

          @zsa82: Well by ACCC, you are entitled to refund at no cost. You are expect to receive refund on exact payment method you have done. For example, if you have paid in cash, you are expected to have it back in cash not store credit.

          All shops saying no refund within the purchase of 21 days are BS. If you need to know more about this, go ACCC and their site let you know your rights as a consumer.

    • romaau on 16/05/2015 - 23:03

      If you bought on a credit card that has insurance, you may be able to claim back the difference. Lots of platinum cards have price protection insurance.

  • webtherapist on 11/05/2015 - 17:52

  • CheapCoffee on 11/05/2015 - 19:32

    Decent deal I think. Hopefully they don't (partially) cancel on us like last time :)

    I think if you REALLY want this deal, it is probably better to go into their store (which may or may not have stock available).

      you are allowed to take items back unopened with recipt (sic) under Australian law

      Incorrect, under the Australian Consumer Law a store does not need to refund items simply for change of mind.

      tell them that the item you bought it not what it was

      Zsa 82 has not stated that the item has any defects, only that he is disappointed he bought it at a higher price.

      they will winge but stick to your guns and demand refund

      You are not entitled to one as per above

      I hate people getting ripped

      Zsa 82 purchased the tablet yesterday. He believed it was at an appropriate price and indeed it was the cheapest price Optus had previously offered. Just because the price decreases the next day does not mean the consumer was ripped off the day before.

      (profanity) optus

      What you are doing is completely unethical. They only bothered to refund you because you, yourself were a significant strain on their resources and the cost of dealing with you outweighed any benefit they had of asserting their rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

        yeah, I won't fight for $48. Just have to live with it I guess.
        You can't own a shop where customer comes back to you every time after price gone down.

          one more thing. If you have used your credit card, check if you are with price protection.

        i selected "manual payment"

        • lgacb08 on 11/05/2015 - 21:37

          that meant they will send you a bill and you pay later so no payment asked

    • CheapCoffee on 11/05/2015 - 20:42

      It says "Total due today: $0" for me as well.

    The Customer Authority Form only shows the monthly cost and the one-off cost of the tablet with no GST.

    If I remember correctly this model versus the newer one has no difference except for a touch ID. So you're not losing much at all especially at this price.

    • GaelicAU on 11/05/2015 - 21:52
      +2

      I can confirm. Model specs are exactly the same bar Touch ID.

      This deal has been going for a couple of months. I found it here on OzB.

      I chose month to month. Paid nothing on order and it arrived in 2 days. I received an invoice for the iPad and the $5 of data. I never activated the Sim so called up, paid invoice by CC and cancelled the data plan at the same time. All up, I paid for the iPad and about 23c for the data. Never asked about the 23c but either way, a very cheap way to purchase a brand new unlocked cellular IPad Mini with no contract involved.

    • moonbeam on 13/05/2015 - 02:24

  • unicorn888 on 12/05/2015 - 05:14

    why many people choose 32gb instead 64gb with only $100 more?

    • wtfnodeal on 12/05/2015 - 05:31

      Because they don't need the additional 32gb

    • [Deactivated] on 12/05/2015 - 06:24

      $100 is 25% more expensive.

      • hongd on 12/05/2015 - 10:59

        Another reason is Apple has stopped 64GB manufacture few months ago.
