I was looking for a decent android phone at a decent price. Came across Nexus 6P with Optus $48 per month on 24 months with 500MB data. Went on to Virgin Mobile website. They have even better deal on the same plan with 1.1MB data.
Cheapest outright I could find is $744 on Virgin Mobile website. So I'm paying only $16.17 (for 24 months) for 1.1GB data, unlimited call and text within oz and $50 credit for international calls.
Prolly a typo.
could almost download enough to backup to my 1.44" floppy drive
haven't heard of 'floppy drive' for quite a while
My girlfriend just calls it a floppy D
1.1GB is pretty lean for this phone IMO. I am looking for cheap plans around the 3-5GB/month for the 6P.
you can get the $60 plan from vodafone, which comes to $1440 over 24 months. I think it's 6GB data?
how do u get 6GB in total?
Nah its 3GB
Not sure how to get 6GB on $60 plan with Vodafone?? However, you can get 4GB with Virgin mobile + 3GB bonus for first 3 months.
yea sorry I checked just now it's 3gb not 6. The $70 plan is 6GBs
For $71/month over 24 months, you could get the 6P and 7GB with Optus ($31/month for phone plus $40 SIM-only plan). If you have Optus broadband this would come down to $61/month.
The outright price from Virgin and Optus is $744
Thanks, updated description.
I really haven't had much luck with the 6P :(
Bought it through Google at the day-one price.
With the first handset, the touch screen just completely stopped responding. I had to send it into Google who then sent another out.
The second one (current), the power button keeps getting stuck 'in', meaning that just a slight bump will make the button stick and turn the whole phone off.
Going to have to send it back off again! I'm not rough with the phones, and I've never tinkered around with the software/gained root access.
Please add to title and description that it's a 32GB version. Only Vodafone had the 64GB version.
can't find 64Gb on Vodafone's website
Perhaps they're out of stock of the 64GB online. Visit your local Vodafone store.
Thanks, updated title.
I don't think Vodafone do anymore. They have the 32gb for $799 outright.
Seems cheap but with that low data allowance, they make their money on people going over their data limit.
I got mine from Optus, 500mb for $48. For the next year or so will steal my daughters data, she has 10Gb for $40 from Optus.
I was originally looking for their 3Gb plans for $65, but thought that this way I save heaps. And luckily this $48 plan came out the day I had to port out from Telstra so I was really happy.
I love the Nexus 6P. I moved from M8 and I feel this phone superior to that in many ways. Enough fast for every task I need it for.
I believe if you can get an existing virgin postpaid customer to refer you, you both get 1gb extra for the duration of your contract
Edit: my bad, you get extra 1 gb only when you add a second contract
With Optus, Don't forget to claim $10 bundle discount if you have Optus Broadband at your property.
I.e. $38 x 24 months = $912 for phone (nexus 6p + unlimited phone usage + 500 MB data).
Also, if you go over a few months over 24 months they will charge cap of $10/gb.
I use about 300-400mb in emails. So it's win win for me.
Upgraded my existing plan with virgin from $29/mth to $60/mth with no handset repayment fee. 7gb for the first 3mths and 4gb thereafter.
Don't mind the 2 year contract and personally value the additional data at $10/mth.
Also got the first month fee waived, so effectively works out to be ~$444 ignoring interest ($60x23 - $10x24 - $29x24).
Pretty good deal if u don't mind contract and need decent amount of data.
What? A whopping 1.1MB?!?!
