NB: Possibly This is only available for OPTUS CUSTOMERS.
I was on the online chat discussing new nbn plans with the operator
He then mentioned this deal is only for today (if you want to believe that).
The operator was Patrick K. "This $20 discount is available only for limited customers."

The plan includes:
Unlimited Australian mobiles and landlines, 13/1300 numbers and voicemail
Unlimited sms/mms
Up to 300 intl minutes
8GB incl data
No contract

Wasn't interested but other people can give it a try if they wish.

Update - Conditions: Must be an existing Optus customer to get a $10 discount ($50/month) and Optus broadband customer to get another $10 discount ($40/month).

    OMG. I wish my contract would hurry up and end. Only 2 months left, but they won't let me change to a SIM Only plan, because it's cheaper than my current plan and Sim only plans don't have a contract.

    • lippy on 31/07/2015 - 12:50

      That happened to me in June when I had two months left. But I called up and they let me change to SIM only plan. But of course I had to pay cancellation fee and remaining handset repayments.

        I think my cancellation fee would be over $100. It's not worth it.

    OP I think you may have been mistaken. The Optus Sales consultant is telling me they're offering it for $50. If you have an Optus broadband connection, you get that $10 discount, so only then it becomes $40/month.

    • terahammer on 31/07/2015 - 12:26

      Possible. I don't follow these discounts so you could be right.

  • xsacha on 31/07/2015 - 12:32

    Yes, this $50 deal has been going on for a while but phone call/chat only. Same one is $60 online but first month free.
    If you have Optus broadband, you get a further $10 off.

  • kalakaar on 31/07/2015 - 12:46

    Just speaking to a rep now, the offer is $50 a month, plus the additional $10 with a bundled account.

    The offer is valid until the 2nd of August apparently.

    • BudgetBountyOz on 31/07/2015 - 13:01

    8gb, 300 Intl minutes and unlimited Intl text(select countries), unlimited calls/SMS/MMS,
    $50 month.

    Back then it was due to expure on '5 July'.

    For me the plan is good.

    • Spending2Much on 31/07/2015 - 13:04

      Drops down to $40 for the opt us home internet package as well,

    • Mysterious on 31/07/2015 - 13:27

      Calls/text free?

    • shonofear on 31/07/2015 - 13:45

      wow, is this true. im also on the $26- Woolies plan from last year and haven't noticed anything different.

    • daver on 31/07/2015 - 15:15

      Sure, I have accumulated 15 gb. Most likely referring to rollover

      as for this deal it scale to 16‰, not the 33% most people want.
      Bundling isn't desired.

      For existing customers "with an existing bundle". That's the key misleading fact here.

  • buutbuut on 31/07/2015 - 13:47

    unfortunately i am on the sales chat. They said $40 is only applicable if you have optus bundle.
    $50 for $60 plan, and if you have bundle then extra $10 off
    I was quite excited to hear $40 at first :(

    • GaelicAU on 31/07/2015 - 14:03

      Still $50 unlimited calls, text and 8GB of 4g data is a good deal IMO

  • bluedufflecoat on 31/07/2015 - 13:53

    Maybe it's worth asking if you can still get the first month free on top of the $50 plan with$10 discount for existing broadband customers.

  • Gavman on 31/07/2015 - 13:58

    Is this targeted?? i.e. for Optus customer? or can anyone get it? if targeted than MEH nothing new..

  • tds on 31/07/2015 - 13:59

    Thanks OP great deal

  • miked1 on 31/07/2015 - 14:00

    I just signed up for $50 a month. Currently with boost.
    They will deduct another $10 if you have another service. I explained that i can't merge both services but they said as long as the billing address is the same they will apply the discount.

    • GaelicAU on 31/07/2015 - 14:06

      I dont have home internet with them, but I bought an iPad through them earlier this year, so the rep is trying his best to link my service with this deal and see if i can get the $40 offer. Fingers XX'd

  • colblair on 31/07/2015 - 14:04

    I'm an existing Optus customer and tried to get this via their online chat… no go…
    either $60 for 8gb or $45 for 4gb. $10 discount for being Optus cable internet user.
    Still… I've finished my contract and am currently paying $50/month for 3gb (what I was paying on my regular contract) so to go from that to $35 for 4gb is still good :) Seeing the deal just made me actually get around to fixing up my plan. I don't think I realised the sim only plans were month to month.

    • GaelicAU on 31/07/2015 - 14:06

      Leave Optus site.
      Revisit.

    • GaelicAU on 31/07/2015 - 14:14

      I only signed up with Optus pre-paid approx 10 days ago and was able to get the plan for $50. The rep has just switched me across and the new plan should be activated in less than 4 hours.

      Keep trying.

    • xsacha on 31/07/2015 - 14:49

      Try again. This is definitely an offer available to them.

  • nzcoops on 31/07/2015 - 14:05

    I've got to give this a negative vote at the moment, title and opening line needs to very clearly stipulate that it is for customers that have an existing OTHER Optus service.

    • OYC on 31/07/2015 - 14:19

      just checked and it is definitely just the $10 off home phone and mobile bundle deal dressed up as a mobile deal.

      • gadgetguy on 31/07/2015 - 14:24
        +1

        This is NOT a deal. At best its a repeat of the $50 offer which was posted weeks ago.

        Even the revised description is incorrect - I am an existing Optus customer buy I don't have broadband, home phone or a TV package with them so there is no $40 deal.

  • maik on 31/07/2015 - 14:38
    +1

    Thanks OP, worked for me, I also found out that I'm on the $70 BB Bundle which gives me 50GB but he told me the 50GB was an old plan, so now I'm basically down from $45 to $40 (saving $5 and gaining 4GB Mobile) and down from my $70 BB Bundle to the NEW $70 BB Bundle (saving $0 and gaining 150GB) I guess the trick is to keep asking what you're eligible for.

    Looking good for me so far (we have NBN with Optus - they make sure the landline or broadband matches your address used for mobile phone signup).

    Spoke with David R, he was quick to offer the plan for $50 without any existing service, and worked hard to check there was not another product I could bundle to gain the additional $10 discount. Unfortunately I'm currently roaming the state on contract work and haven't the need for a fixed line service or an additional mobile broadband plan. He gave me his number for any further questions as 0873286079, I assume this is a direct line.

    I just spent 15 minutes chatting to a clown who insisted the best they could do was $50/mth.

    Apparently because I already get one $10 bundling discount on my wifes phone, I can't get the $60 SIM only for any less than $50.
    MY CSR wasn't trying hard enough, and I told him/her that.

    • El Chyeah on 31/07/2015 - 16:49
      +3

      Your CSR was correct. The $10 discount can only be applied on one phone plan per billing address.

      " CAN I GET MULTIPLE DISCOUNTS ON THE SAME ACCOUNT?
      Only one $10 mobile discount can be applied per broadband service address. If there are other postpaid mobile plans at this address, the discount will be applied to the first mobile plan that was connected with a home broadband service at this address."

      I don't understand why someone who does his job correctly has to be called a clown. If he is a clown then what would you call someone who does not read the T&Cs?
