Virgin has $100 credit on new $50 phone plans. Could be a good alternative to the Woolworths Telstra deal if you do not need much data.

• Unlimited standard national calls & text
• $100 standard international calls & text
• 4GB total data (2GB + 2GB bonus data.)
• $100 Credit on our $50 Phone Plan *You’ll receive a $100 credit on your first bill. The credits cannot be redeemed for cash. Approved customers only. If you need to leave us early just pay out your phone in full, including any amount we were going to cover.)

  They increased the price of the iPhone plans for the credit. Pretty sure it was $86 per month for iPhone 7 128gb previously and it's now $88.

  Doesn't seem too bad a deal. The plan itself is for unlimited standard calls + texts, and 4gig of data. So say roughly $30/month from a prepaid provider.

  So that makes the Galaxy S7 cost $25/month. Which over two years is $600. And then take away the $100 credit, and its only $500 total.

  Seems pretty good, unless I'm missing something…?? :-)

    vaya provides 3g plan for $15/month, so you can say this plan should be less than $20/month, and your s7 is $35/month, then you pay $740 over 2 years, for a galaxy s7.
    pretty sad, aren't you.

      Well, it would be $640 for the phone once you take off the $100 credit. Which is still a good price (although not outstanding or anything). Probably decent value for someone who really, really wants an S7, and can afford the monthly plan but not the lump sum of buying it upfront.

        Looking at getting a new phone and stumbled across this.
        It seems about the same value when I compare, maybe I'm doing something wrong!?
        Cheapest I can find an S7 for is $850 @ Mobileciti

  Not bad value at all. I was close to buying the S7 outright for my old man with two AMEX's at HN but this looks to be better value.

  The biggest downside is the 24mo contract. How can you quantify what a lock in contract is worth? You lose alot of flexibility. Say in 18 months time, the standard might be 10-20Gb for $50 a month and you'll still be stuck on a 4gb contract.

    lovbargain on 12/12/2016 - 16:28

    agree with you. looking back at plans of 12 months ago and we know how pain the subscribers feel.

      If you call up, most of the time they are happy to offer you a free upgrade to the new equivalent plan at the same cost as your old plan while maintaining the original contract period.

  They have the same deal for the iPhone 6s

  Was $65 on Optus with 7GB, but if you signed up at HN a few weeks ago get $240 credit, making it an average of $55, which is the same as this but with a better network.

  I'd sign for this if it was Optus or Telstra. Or if it was a few months earlier. S8 is due in 4 months.

  Fyi 100 bonus credit offer expires 11/1/17 not 31/1/17

    Subada on 10/01/2017 - 17:47

    When I go to their website it says "$100 CREDIT ON OUR $50 PHONE PLAN
    You’ll receive a $100 credit on your first bill when you sign up by 31 January 2017. The credits cannot be redeemed for cash. Approved customers only. If you need to leave us early just pay out your phone in full, including any amount we were going to cover."

    Where does it mention the 11/1/17 expiry?

      It was on an embedded website ad (maybe on ozbargain actually?) for the deal that came up after I'd visited the site.
      They've updated it now- previously the bonus data was what expired 31/1.
      Now it seems both the bonus credit and data expire 31/1

  How is the virgin network? I know it is optus, but do they offer the full coverage of OPTUS?
