    Combine with this

      Hmm. i activated the $30 SIM plan today without knowing about this deal. You reckon i can get it applied now?

      • Pricebeat on 14/11/2017 - 18:50

        I think it works if you received the email from Flybuys. You get 5000 bonus points on sim only plans

    • nulled on 14/11/2017 - 21:30

      How do you make use of this offer? Couldn't find clickable link to get the flybuys bonus point with this offer.

      • Pricebeat on 14/11/2017 - 21:36

        You should get email from Flybuys or check your Flybuys offers by signing into coles app

          Strange! Didn't receive any email from Flybuys regarding Optus deal, and I don't see it either in the Coles App Flybuys tab or the Flybuys website.

    • jsb on 15/11/2017 - 13:24

      Doesn't work. If I go with flybuys link from email. It shows $40 as charges per month. If I go with click frenzy link, it shows as $30 per month. Why would anyone pay $10 extra for 12 months just for 5000 points.

          This is just consumer law, it applies to all contracts, it would be in the terms and conditions they should have sent you. There are some exceptions I think. I found this link, it may be of help https://www.acma.gov.au/theACMA/coolingoff-periods-acma

        • Falbium on 14/11/2017 - 19:19

          In the telco world, cooling off periods only apply to unsolicited agreements, in other words, if they call you (telemarketing) or visit you (door to door sales). But if you contacted them, by phone, internet or walk-in, there is no cooling off period.

          @robbyjones:

          Cooling off periods only apply to unsolicited sales approaches. If you walk into the store or order online, they do not have to offer a cooling off period. Correct me if I am wrong lawyers.

  • BeerCrisp on 14/11/2017 - 19:11

    Also take note - "Offer available for new and existing customers adding an additional service only." So if you already have your number with optus and want to keep that same number with this service you won't be able to. Still an amazing deal if you're happy to have a new number in that instance!

  • CoffeeDrug on 14/11/2017 - 19:12

    Will this work with the student 10% off?

        In that case, I'm not even going to bother. It's barely work the effort for a saving of $6/month. A better offer will come up by the time my current 12 months is over.

          In my experience, porting to a different network is fast.

          I ported from the same network (an Optus reseller to Optus) once…the process took a week.

  • pilkington on 14/11/2017 - 19:16

    Got the similar offer last time - a good deal on paper, but not sure I would have gone through with it knowing all the issues that would come up. I was promised a maximum of a few hours to port my number from Virgin, ended up taking 12 days. Obviously many hours wasted trying to sort that out with them. I have now received my first bill and it seems like they are trying to charge the wrong amount as my bill is more than double $30 quoted price - so again, I am going to have to waste my time calling them and sorting out.

        I have the same shit too. Received my second bill and its like $13, the first was about $52. Makes no sense whatsoever. They gave me some bs about it all being credited at the end of the 12 months so it will work out to $30/month. We will see. I have made sure to get all the chat logs emailed to me with reference numbers.

        • StopThatBus on 15/11/2017 - 23:21

    • BeerCrisp on 14/11/2017 - 19:23

      You would have to cancel your old plan and start a new number, but essentially, yes

    I HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE MOVING TO OPTUS

    Sorry for caps but I moved to a plan exactly like this. $30 for 15GB. The first bill I am charged $51.77 and am being told it is an upfront payment that I will get back after my contract expires. Complete nonsense. Everyone I know who moved across got the same bill and is having a headache trying to rectify it. This type of collateral was never discussed when I chatted to them and they said $30 a month.

    Anyways I used to think telecoms were just like any other business, they have every right to make a profit. But nah fk em.

    • hasher22 on 14/11/2017 - 19:45
      +7

      You pay prorata + month in advance.

      For example;
      You ported to optus on 1st, but your billing cycle is 20. You will be charged from 1st to 19th current month then month in advance for 20th to 19th for the next month.

      If you cancel your service, then you will get a credit back for the days unused. So if you cancel 21st you will get 29 days back of the plan, if you cancel on the 15th you will get 4 days back of the plan.

    • picogary on 14/11/2017 - 23:25

      I had a different experience - although I tried (unsuccessfully) to get Telstra to match this deal, they did offer me the MX plan for $10 off plus 5GB extra data.
      That was good enough for me - $39/15GB on Telstra's network.

      • Berek on 15/11/2017 - 17:53

        I tried but even after chatting to a manager, they wouldn't budge on anything. So they lost 2 mobile services. Stupid thing is they could have got more money out of me and I wanted to give them more money (total between 2) but they wouldn't budge. Dicks.

      I successfully managed to get the M Bundle for $39, but with no bonus data. Im currently on 11GB with no contract, but if I switch to the M, have to go on a 12 month contract. Is the extra 4gb worth it to be locked in?

  • nulled on 14/11/2017 - 21:23

    Seems only available for 2 years. In the nitty gritty details

    • hamza23 on 14/11/2017 - 21:24

      This discount continues for 24 months, but you are only in contract for 12 months. After 12 months you are free to leave/change plan, however if you don't you can still get the 25% discount for up to another 12 months.

      • nulled on 14/11/2017 - 21:25

        That's what I meant, the maximum duration of the 25% discount is two years. After that price will revert back.

    Just a few tips for anyone who does sign up

    -Optus in it's last promotion did not apply the discount for the first month unless you spent hours arguing with them
    -They will by default sign you up to spam sms and email
    -They will by default post you bills (even if you tick not it seems) and charge you. Possibly glitch in their website.
    -If you are porting from another Optus provider be prepared to speak to the help desk for an hour or so during their call centre times as for some reason they struggle porting those numbers (I had to call multiple times and to through many people as none of them were able to do it strangely enough)

    Other than that the price is good

    • iDoNotExist on 15/11/2017 - 08:27

      Confirming all of 4 of these issues happened exactly as described in this comment when I signed up for the last Optus promo of $30/month.

      When I queried the first month charge of $50+, the online & phone support teams flat out refused to help because they could not see the promo on my account. I offered to forward the order confirmation email but they don't have any email access. They asked me to go to the store.

      Went to the store and the Optus customer service person was extremely condescending like this is some common knowledge and I was wasting his time querying it. Maybe it is, but just the way he embarrassed me in front of other people was unnerving and I so regret signing up with Optus now. Stuck for 12 months I guess.

      Please be prepared for terrible customer service if you are switching from another provider. I was with Virgin, and they receive a lot of flak about service but my experience with Optus is just next level.

      I still don't get this nuance of the first bill, you sign up for $30 deal the bill should be $30 (provided no extras used), am I being naive here? Admittedly the second bill does have the correct discounts applied automatically but I am still out of pocket by over $20.

      @mmaattuu: Have you been able to get the first bill sorted yet? I have had no success so far.

        Same here. Subscribed for $40 plan with 25% discount last time, now just saw the first bill come at $40 with no discount mentioned in the bill at all. Also seeing no $0 Optus sport in account as mentioned in the sim order. Was chatting with CS agent when the chat suddenly frozen. Start to regret to go with them now. So freaking sneaky *******

          I have had the frozen chat numerous times, usually happens when I ask a difficult question, when reconnecting its a different agent where you have to start all over again. My cynical theory is that some agents don't want to deal with the tough questions and simply disconnect. I have no way to substantiate this and may be wrong but I am sure these people have ridiculous KPIs and it basic human nature to game it a bit. I am extremely polite to the agents and well aware that the fastest way to get booted is to swear or be rude in anyway.

          I am done with Optus, I will be betraying the ozbargain ethos and walking away from Optus at end of this contract regardless of the deal and value for money. Enough people do it and they will focus on customer service again. Telco is a tough business I guess but they need to stop paying ridiculously big bucks to the top brass and invest in staff who do the grunt work.

        My girlfriend and I both signed up for same plan and both got our first bill charged at $60. We both spoke with online chat/phone call with customer service and adjusted the bill to $40 (supposed to be $30). They refused to amend the last amount for both of us. My partner gave up but out of principle I didn't and kept escalating the situation with online chat which eventually resulted with them correcting the bill to $30. My partner never had theirs fixed. Strange that they fix only some when you properly raise the issue. I know the money is nothing but still just seems crazy
