This deal is not advertised. Only available via live chat or phone, but Optus will sell you the Nexus 6P (32gb) outright on a sim-only plan for $744 + ($30 sim).

You need to cancel the plan after the first month to prevent any subsequent charges. You are not locked into any contracts.

RRP from Google playstore is $899.

Update #1: After you've recieved your order you can confirm it's been accepted here: https://www.optus.com.au/shop/welcome?defaultTab=1
Update #2: You can track your order after Optus confirm it's been sent to warehouse 'Your order has been sent to our warehouse for packaging' on startrack with optus order number: http://sttrackandtrace.startrack.com.au/
Update #3: Some users are reporting they are calling optus in advanced, and cancelling the sim service. Saving $30 :)

    just a quick one is this including GST??

    • GavinS on 26/10/2015 - 18:50

      should be

      • [Deactivated] on 26/10/2015 - 19:14

        should be but i find that when you go on the optus web page and look at plans they are advertised without GST.

        so in theory my myplan plus 8gb data is $50 which is really $50 + GST + paper bill of $2.

          Pretty sure no business is allowed to advertise prices exclusive of GST to consumers. Link
          I highly doubt Optus is breaking the law on this.

          @ProspectiveDarkness:

          they dont state the GST component of the bill, not listed in the PDF or the nitty gritty link so i they are not playing ball…

          @Hotkolbas:

          Your bills don't get GST on top of the monthly commitment amount; the advertised price is GST-inclusive. For example, I'm on the $50 plan…the bill says $45.45 plus $4.54 GST.

          @Hotkolbas:

          The plan prices are inclusive of GST (i.e Optus is not charging 50 + 5 + 2.20 as your example may suggest if I interpreted it correctly ).

          However got to admit that Optus Bills are confusing compared to their competitors and would do well with a makeover .. as some totals are inclusive while most components are exclusive of GST

        • Draco on 27/10/2015 - 10:02

          @Hotkolbas:

          It should be inclusive of GST as its to consumer.

        • deaj on 28/10/2015 - 14:18

          The prices are inclusive of GST, so $50/month plan is really $45.45/month + GST.

    Don't forget the $150 credit when signing up for 24-month plan and adding it to an existing Optus plan or SIM-only service. More details here: http://www.optus.com.au/shop/promotions/extra-service?SID=co…

        Try. I'm still missing 5 days until my first month ends but will be eligible. Their representative signed me up and ensured that I'll be receiving the $150 credit. I think Optus needs to make sure you had an existing service with them and didn't signed up just for the sake of the credit. Let us know how you went this.

        • Trantor on 26/10/2015 - 20:03

          said I could have it if I got new number, not sure I want the hassle of updating my number everywhere :/

        don't pay your bill for a few months +

        • Autonomic on 26/10/2015 - 20:53

          Oh so it's essentially $150 off the total contract? I thought it was just some extra credit for internet or international calls etc.

      • pao2x on 26/10/2015 - 21:23

    • deaj on 28/10/2015 - 14:23
      +2

      I asked (on live chat) if there was a way to take advantage of this $150 offer even though I have no other Optus services, and this is what the operator came up with:

      Optus: "If you go for the Nexus 6P on $60 plan and add Data Sim only plan for $10 so, that you can get $150 credit"
      Me: And could I cancel the $10 data sim after the first month?
      Optus: You'll have to keep it active till you receive the credit though… it will be credited on the first month or in the second"

      So, paying an extra $10 or possibly $20 (if they don't credit the account until the 2nd month) to get $150 credit on the account makes this an even better deal.

      • takezo on 29/10/2015 - 11:11

        Great job!! Was able to do just what you said above. The rep said it was a bit of a loophole but had no issues putting it through.

        He said you need to keep it active for 45 days. Also seemed to indicate that the data would be able to be used by my primary sim.

      • namyu0 on 08/12/2015 - 20:01

        I went ahead with what you did and didn't end up receiving the $150 credit. The month-to-month data sim had to be active for at least one month. Chatted to someone on live chat and they clarified the terms and conditions, but gave me a $50 goodwill credit as a consolation prize.

    Looks like a great deal, just wanted to confirm two points:

    1. There's no long term contract - the plan can be cancelled immediately?
    2. Is there any pre-installed Optus bloatware or branding on the phone?

    FYI for anyone wondering what I was an hour ago:

    I just ordered a 32gb aluminium outright from Optus for $744+$30 month to month sim via live chat, as per the OzBargain post. They didn't have black. I'll cancel it in the first month and stay on my Telechoice plan for now. I'll get the bill after I get the phone. Only worry is he said I won't even be emailed an order number for a day or two.

    My friend ordered a 32gb black (operator confirmed black even thought their photo shows aluminium, don't trust that 100%) from Virgin via phone, as their add to cart was broken. $744 outright and he didn't even need to buy a sim with it. They seemed to have billed his card on the spot. Phenomenal value there, maybe even slightly cheaper than the US Google price after their tax and conversion.

    This was all a nice surprise after the 32gb no shows on the Google site. I'm just hoping any warranty issues will be anywhere near as painless as through Google. Still worth saving $150.

    Actually, also hoping my 28 Degrees card shopper's protection will still apply to the phone since I'll be paying it like a phone bill in one go.

    • steinmeister on 26/10/2015 - 22:55

    I purchased a 64GB 6P direct from Google for $999. Yes it's expensive and if I waited a month or two I would have found it cheaper. However, my experience recently with Google for my daughter's Nexus 5 swayed me to go down the direct path. Her Nexus 5 was playing up (dodgy power button) and I'd read that Google would replace the Nexus no questions asked no matter how old it was if it wasn't physically damaged (only applies to phones purchased directly from the Play Store). The phone was a tick over 18 months old and after a few minutes on the phone to them, a "refurbished" replacement was shipped. It arrived 3 days later - brand new. I like to call the premium my "peace of mind tax".

    • [Deactivated] on 27/10/2015 - 08:39
      +1

      You actually have a 24 month warranty with Google. So you're still covered for another 6 months. Outside of this I think it should be a little harder to have a replacement but they are generally pretty helpful.

      I agree with you, I'd rather pay more and have it from Google. I've always had quality issues with my early release nexus phones and it was a breeze to deal with Google. They ship you a new phone. You ship yours back. So you always have a phone.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/10/2015 - 09:54
      -3

      It also depends on how you value your money, $999 for a nexus is just ridiculously expensive. Doesn't matter how good the after sales service is. 18 months later this phone will be worth $250, so it's not that different compared to spending $750 and then if it breaks in the future just buy the same phone again if you don't feel like upgrading to a newer phone. Better yet, optus warranty (or non google warranty in general) may not be as good, but I see no problem getting them to have your phone replaced/fixed if the fault is legitimately covered by warranty.

      That said, I personally wouldn't bother with this phone at all as I don't care about stock Android, I'd take a G4 that's half the price with similar specs (and better camera) any day.

  • dealsucker on 27/10/2015 - 09:19

    If someone is interested in a contract I find the Vodafone option much more appealing. The lowest monthly contract is $68 but you can easily get $5 off if you speak to their sales team. For that you get the $64Gb model plus you also get Huawei talkband and case free if you order before 02/11/2015.

    • Cap N on 27/10/2015 - 18:18

    Called optus. Rep was super helpful and was going to push it through but a couple of questions got raises with the whole process:

    1) you need to do a credit check to push this through. He said something about cancelling the order later may flag on your history.
    2) he couldn't confirm there would be a warranty on the phone if I cancelled the $30 sim only plan. He said no one asked that question.

          It is stated on the Optus Nexus 6P webpage that a case and headphones are included. So make sure you point it out to them!
