      according to optus online chat discount is applied automatically. i suspect at least you can call & request post signup.. sweet deal!

      • gym on 17/11/2015 - 22:57

        I just signed up with this , ported from TPG, they added the -$10 per month on top of this deal.

  • Bramasaurus on 17/11/2015 - 22:28

    Is it back to 3 months only?

    • Bramasaurus on 17/11/2015 - 22:56

      Never mind I messed up I was on chat with them asking some questions and they said they could do it for me there. What I didn't realise is that because I didn't sign up through Click Frenzy I only get 3 months at half price.

      Optus has better coverage than Vodafone from my experience as I was on optus and now I'm with vodaphone

  • paulaus on 17/11/2015 - 23:20

    am i reading this right the $60 plan is half price for 6 months also and includes 7 gigs data and unlimited calls to mobiles in the Philippines

  • stevelo on 17/11/2015 - 23:32

    The deals is very good for $20/month, I am with Virgin and paying $20/month with only 1.2G (old plan). The problem, after 6 months…. I need to pay $40/month to optus, or new Virgin $20 plan only come with 250M/month (new plan). (i make international calls occasionaly which both optus and virgin cover that, but not all others)

    • autolux on 18/11/2015 - 01:14

      you can move to any other plan when 6months is up or whenever/whatever you wish. this would be including the $20/m Optus UNLIM/1GB data plan which sounds similar to your current and who knows might be better value in 6months, or move to another provider etc.

      • sharky_k on 18/11/2015 - 09:43

        I thought that plan was normally $30/m ?

        • autolux on 18/11/2015 - 11:19

          oh yeah my bad, getting confused with the $10 off per month deal for ex-TPG customers which takes it down to $20/m

  • jacknthebeanstalk on 17/11/2015 - 23:47

    After I've made the order, can I choose to activate a month later? I'm on the $50 sim plan but I plan to suspend for 1 month as I'll be going overseas soon.

    • lordra on 18/11/2015 - 00:24

      I got my sim for the $60 pm deal today. Rang them and asked them to hold things until the 30th of Nov. Said I will call and initiate the transfer myself. Took them about 5 mins to do it. So that worked. Call and ask if you can suspend for a month. I know you can delay delivery for 20 days (source is somewhere up top) and suspend sim. Activation for 14 days. So that's 34 days in total.

  • plasmapuff on 18/11/2015 - 00:25

    To be honest because you're paying $40 upfront and only receiving credits on months 2 to 7 (assuming you're porting out after month 7):

    It's $40 + (6 x 20) = $190, which is $27.14/month over 7 months…. Still good, but not as outstanding as the 6 months at $20 = $120 would lead you to believe.

    • mwclih on 18/11/2015 - 00:57

      $40 + (6 x $20) = $160 which is $22.85 which is not as bad…

    Does anyone know how to connect multiple services using this offer? I'm hoping to move 3 Telechoice services over to Optus on the one account but I can't see where I can do this.

    • viperxz on 18/11/2015 - 07:40

      I just moved mine and my Fiancee's numbers over (with the intent to data pool). I first signed up for an account for myself, then chatted to one of the Reps and was told to sign up again (with the second signup under my name as well), and the number to be ported being that of my Fiancee.

      The Rep then asked for both order numbers and I believe he linked both orders together. I was told that once the order had been confirmed they would give me a call to:
      1. Confirm that both sims would be on the same account, and
      2. Get the details for my Fiancee for the port (given that her number is currently under her name)

      Hopefully this helps.

    My friend* she has the Optus 10GB plan for $70/m.
    What is the best course of action for her to get these 50% off rates for 6 months?
    I was thinking of giving Optus a call and threatening to terminate the service if they don't match the deal, or perhaps it would be easier to just go the proper route and order online and port her number over?

      Sign up with the deal with a new number. Port existing number away to a non optus prepaid and cancel account. Port number back onto cheap plan. May be porting fees.

        Got a call today from Optus saying I can't because I'm not a new customer. They're going to send me the sim card with a new number on it. So this is the method I'll have to use. I'm leaving the country on the 23rd, does anyone think I'll have enough time to port to a different service and everything?

        Also, which sim other than Optus should I get to port without having to pay a cent?

  • Wallyt99 on 18/11/2015 - 08:53

    Dont forget Optus Lumia for $129 at kmart! I am porting from Voda and will get a new phone to boot.

    Great deal.

    the T&C on the clickfrenzy page (https://www.clickfrenzy.com.au/optus.html) say it's for new customers only.

    I'm on Optus prepaid.. have any other prepaid people successfully changed to this plan?

    thanks!

  • donkcat on 18/11/2015 - 09:38

    Currently with Optus and not sure if I should sign up for this at $23 a month or take the Telstra deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/217715 which works out $33/a month over 12 months. I would be paying extra for better coverage really as the data means nothing to me with only a 3g phone and wifi but the coverage with Optus isn't the best and makes me think I might switch to Telstra.

  • rmamila on 18/11/2015 - 10:23

    AFTER 6 MONTHS WHAT HAPPENS ??

      They take you out for a nice dinner followed by a movie.

      • rmamila on 18/11/2015 - 10:31

        Nice. Thanks for your help.

        As this is not a discounted price from a standard plan I expect it to continue at the same amount month to month for ever. Anyway that's my assumption hope someone here can confirm.

          Oh also, you start paying $40 instead of $20. Or $50 instead of the promotional $25.

          It's a month to month thing so cancel anytime.

          Why $40 after 6 months? Was that the cost for the dinner and movie?

          Why $40 after 6 months?

          Because that's the deal. It's 50% off for 6 months. I only know what's written on the Optus site.

    Little bit miffed - to actually get on to this, the online chat guy said I would have to fully sign up new - ie change my number (uhm, kinda DAMN annoying after having this number since analogue mobile days(with different prefix) - or "wait" my remaining 12 days of my contract and "from time to time" there are other deals.

    Hmmmm - been a VERY big OPTUS supporter for, oh - SINCE THEY STARTED! - LOVE OPTUS Broadband Cable (southside BNE), and had Mobile since they commenced - but to actually get a good deal currently they feel that they need to stuff around existing customers…….hmmmmmmm kinda "not happy Jan!".

    gets off soap-box

    All in all very good deals - I just hope that in 12 days I can get a great deal! - if not might have to consider changing a LOT of OPTUS gear, 3 other OPTUS family members and plans……

    • donkcat on 18/11/2015 - 10:51

      Do you only need to change number as you're on an existing contract? I'm not on a contract with them and hoping I could keep my number with them if I sign up for this deal.

    • Wallyt99 on 18/11/2015 - 11:26

      See my note above - just get a new number. Once contract is finished they might let you port straight across. Otherwise port away then back.

    • fozzie on 18/11/2015 - 12:04

      The $30 one is until beginning of January I believe. Minus $10 you will pay $20 still not bad.

  • asinine on 18/11/2015 - 17:39

    When I phoned Optus they said that I didn't get the 50% off deal because I went through the optus website instead of the clickfrenzy website even though my receipt said I got it so I had to reorder it. I'd probably give them a call if you're worried about it.

    • montorola on 18/11/2015 - 18:05

    My experience yesterday on the Optus Website redirect was an interesting one. I could not operate many of the drop-down tabs (no of months at address and employment, etc). I gave up but didn't close the page. Today, 24 hours later I noticed the page still open on a tab in my browser. I completed the transaction and hit "Place Order". Thinking I had no chance and that it would 'time out' … I was surprised to get an order confirmation back. I guess they can still reject my application as it is a credit application in effect. Lets see what comes!

    1. The first bill is a 'prepayment' on the account, so that your final bill is covered by this 1st charge. As such, it isnt an 'access' bill - so does not have a time period attached to it.

    2. The $10 TPG credit will show up on the 1st 'access' bill - so in other words, your 2nd bill you receive from Optus to pay.

    3. To data-share, you need to combine your accounts onto one bill. very easily done.

    They also confirmed for me that the prepayment is used on the last bill, so wont be a shitfight to get your money back like with TPG.

    Very happy with this deal - 4G is blisteringly quick and with 8G data (5gb plan + 3gb plan).
