Browsing around on UNiDAYS and found this ripper deal. 12 month plan and identical to the $40 plan but with UNiDAYS, students get an extra 10% off bringing it down to only $36. Includes a whopping 10GB of data, unlimited calls/texts and 300 international minutes. I don't think you can find any plan for this price with these inclusions for cheaper. Total $432 over 12mths. Please note you must be a student to take advantage of this deal; UNiDAYS will provide you with a code to use online, or you need to show your UNiDAYS ID when you sign up in store. Has been mentioned in comments here, but I thought it deserved its own post.

Edit: works with the $10p/m broadband discount confirmed by @maik

10% discount also applies to phones with plans as well.

    How do I get 10GB? Looks like it is 7GB for $36?

        Thanks. I missed that column, saw the left one and was confused.

    • Rakddon on 21/03/2016 - 11:58

      12 Months Contract, $60 plan which is now $40, then minus 10% = $36

      • StrayfireX on 21/03/2016 - 12:11

        Does it say if a month is 28 or 30 days?

        The critical info link seems to be broken for me.

        • lomie on 21/03/2016 - 12:37

          This isn't prepaid. This is a 12 months contract. So in a year, you will pay 12x$36.

  • BlackVY on 21/03/2016 - 11:56

    Hmmm I got this plan when it was $40, and when combined with Optus Broadband from home, it came down to $30.

    Now I just need to try to use the 10GB of data a month. Last month I only used 6GB and thats with listening to Pandora for most of the day at work!

    • iridiumstem on 21/03/2016 - 11:57

      Doesn't SIM only plan offer data roll over like optus prepaid ones?

      • BlackVY on 21/03/2016 - 11:58

        Nope :(

        • iridiumstem on 21/03/2016 - 11:59

          :( I was thinking of getting this, but no data roll makes it slightly unattractive for me. :(

          @Oversimplified:

          10Gb is still amazing… don't need the rollover to be honest

        • iridiumstem on 21/03/2016 - 12:01

          @BlackVY: True that, that said, there are moments where I require that additional 5GB from last month. Hmmmm, decisions, decisions.

      • cheesecactus on 21/03/2016 - 12:00

        afaik, only virgin does that

        • iridiumstem on 21/03/2016 - 12:00

          Optus prepaid offers data roll over, it was definitely after Virgin introduced it though (I am on Optus prepaid right now) :)

          @Oversimplified:

          Sorry, i meant only virgin offers it on postpaid plans.

        • iridiumstem on 21/03/2016 - 12:02

          @cheesecactus: Ohhh, I might look into Virgin one then :) Thanks :)

        • BlackVY on 21/03/2016 - 12:03

          @Oversimplified:
          Yup, I was on Virgin mobile before going to Optus, but didn't it only roll over for 1 or 2 months? You couldn't carry over your data for more than that?

        • iridiumstem on 21/03/2016 - 12:08

          @BlackVY: I think you can't, that said since it's still double data month, most of the time, when I recharge, left over data from the month beforehand pushes the data to the maximum data you could have with data rollover (15GB).

    • unity1 on 21/03/2016 - 12:57

      Why not post that as a seperate deal? It beats this deal, or even better post a deal that combines both discounts.

    • anastasiastarz on 22/03/2016 - 18:30

      Damn, I always need more than 10GB! Though I have no broadband due to the fact that we rent.

      • adr8 on 22/03/2016 - 18:51

        Have you thought about Optus home wireless broadband 50GB for $70 pm

        • anastasiastarz on 23/03/2016 - 00:21

          Thanks, though they wouldn't include the text/calls and is over my budget :(

      Same deal, but the student discount is not mentioned in the original description.

        • pinchies on 21/03/2016 - 12:13
          +22

          I would have missed this discount if it hadn't been posted as I rarely go back and look at old deals.

        • unity1 on 21/03/2016 - 13:00
          +2

          There are still two more variations of the original deal which have not been posted. There is the $10 discount for Optus customers with an eligible service, then there is also the $10 discount with the student discount combined.

          @unity1:

          There'll be a variation for pensioner discounts on each of those deals, so better make another 3 posts then to cover all bases…

        • nightelves on 21/03/2016 - 13:23

          @unity1:

          So based on what you said are these two stackable?

        • unity1 on 21/03/2016 - 13:24

          @nightelves: Yes, it has been mentioned here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/3552866/redir and by others too.

        • unity1 on 21/03/2016 - 13:25

    • sloppy on 21/03/2016 - 12:08

      OP specifically mentioned that deal in their post. This is kind of a deal within a deal.

    Thanks OP that is a great deal. Especially since I didn't know about Unidays.. just signed up to Unidays. I hope it hands around for another 1.5 months, I always pay my phone 12 months in advance and it is due early may.

    • seedy on 22/03/2016 - 13:00

      Damn, bit the bullet and transferred anyway even though I have 1.5 months to go. The deal was just too good.

    Anybody has a code i can use?

    • Nero on 21/03/2016 - 12:53

      It requires logging into a university account, the code doesn't work unless you are signed in either.

    • Sage on 21/03/2016 - 14:16

      Yep, I've PM'd it.
      Go to http://offer.optus.com.au/student-hub/student-phone-plans/?s…
      it will ask for the code on the next page, you don't need to be logged in etc.

      I got a second code by using the Student Portal and the Alternative registration methods.

  • Kazzycaboodles on 21/03/2016 - 12:50

    Dammit I signed up to the old $60 a month plan….grr. Any ideas on how to potentially get this deal? Unfortunately I have a handset though which might make it trickier to change plans?

  • Nero on 21/03/2016 - 12:52

    Anyone managed to stack this with the bundle discount to get it to $26 or $27?

    • maik on 21/03/2016 - 13:05
      +5

      Yes, I got the bundle discount and I double checked that my UniDays promocode worked. So I'm going to assume $27 but I never really got a confirmation of how much, either way, it's only a dollar (which might not go down well with most OzBargainers) :P

      • unity1 on 21/03/2016 - 13:36
        +1

        Can the stacking be done online or do you need to contact customer service?

        • maik on 21/03/2016 - 15:34
          +1

          I don't know, I was on the live chat the whole time with them. Probably best to speak to them (or livechat) so you can mention your bundle discount, don't count on it being automatically applied!

          I did mine thru online chat. $26 for 10 gb after student discount and $10 bundle discount

  • sfk10 on 21/03/2016 - 13:22

      If you are already with Optus, give them a call & see if you can re-contract on a new plan. They will often do this close to your expiry to stop you from churning.

  • JuryWheel on 21/03/2016 - 13:41

    anyone know if optus have another plan around $12-20 sim only that i could share this data with (eg 1 x 10 gig plan with unlimited call, 1 x 0.5mb plan with some calls = 10.5gb across the two…?) Not sure if that is how it works…

    • MITM on 21/03/2016 - 16:32

      Yes, you can have up to 5 devices sharing the combined total limits including ipads etc.

    • askjeebs on 21/03/2016 - 14:07

      For signing up to UNiDAYS you use any email you want, but it redirects you to a login page for the university/institution that you select. You then have to authorise the university to share student status with UNiDAYS. The code is given after you login.

    • cytotoxic t on 21/03/2016 - 14:39

      Something like the vaya power plus plans would be suitable, I'm currently on vaya which runs off optua networks. About $16 for 1.5gb and $650calls/SMS or $18 for 2gb and $650 calls/SMS. No contracts, just month to month direct debit payments.

      • aec on 21/03/2016 - 16:35

        She (grabbed her name and ID) confirmed that I have it on my account. If it's not on the next bill, I'll say that "Name and Employee ID confirmed that I had this discount, that call was recorded too".
