Hi there:)

I'm house-sitting and only have access to prepaid mobile data.I currently have 2 phone plans:

  • the optus/woolies $26 prepaid plan , with 5GB data + $250 Optus to Optus calls + $250 Optus to any network calls and sms. Expiry: 45 days , which is approximately $17 per month.

Now that I no longer have access to unlimited broadband at home, 5GB (and 3G at that) is just not enough. 12 days ago, I caved in and signed up to the $60 Red SIMO vodafone month-to-month plan , which I've been able to negotiate down to :

  • 10 + 1 extra GB bonus data
  • unlimited calls and txt
  • 120 mins international calls
  • $50 per month, with 1st month half price.

So first bill will be $25, due on the 28th of Oct. I don't need the unlimited calls & txt and I don't need the 120 mins international calls. But I do need the 11 GB data. Is there any better deals out there, please?

Also, what do I do with my $26 prepaid plan, which unless I recharge will expire in January next year?

thanks ,

    I'm not here to give you advice sadly, but I'm just here to say $50 for 11GB of data is really good. It's amazing =how you were even able to negotiate for that!

      yea I'd also like to know how you got 11gb for $50

      do tell….

      This deal, which is now expired. Not sure how she negotiated to get that extra 1GB though. Maybe it pays to have a french accent?

        I said "please"? I've spoke to 5 different people ( they were all very nice) before I finally got transferred to the right department. They straight away offered me the 1GB.

    she-it that optus plan looks hmmm….

    T&C: Data is charged in per MB increments.

    It expires within 45 days, or next time you recharge. Whichever comes first.

    what does that mean? It expires where you recharge? lol?

      It means that there is no rollover. If you recharge before 45 days, you lose whatever credit you had left.

    By being rarely consistent Vodafone will offer slightly Higher / lower plan for the price; over time, sure.

    If you did not miss the data add-ons era (after WWs' 3G 5GB) one could be even on < 10.8GB & 18.1G per [$24]-[$32] prepay recharge Today. Hard capd,
    data dashboard, and rollover ea <58 days for ~$12/mo magic.

    Optus had a deal not long ago for either 65 or 75 a month ona m2m plan and get 15gb and unlimited texts and national calls.

    Was very close in getting it but I'm on the m2m 50 for 8gb data.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/10/2015 - 17:23

      That's between $15 to $25 more for only 4GB extra.

        That's a lot of standard definition pornhub videos….

          He doesn't have that problem, he makes his own videos ;)

          The most I've paid for mobile plan is $30 per month. I've worked it out that I need about 10GB* per month, so the voda M2M plan suits me . The only issue is that the most I've ever paid for mobile plan was $30 p/m and that was before I became an ozbargainer. I was hoping someone could suggest another mobile plan with the same data allowance for cheaper.
