Just spotted this in Rundle Mall, but couldn't find it in any catalogues.
These are also $5 at Officeworks, but I wouldn't expect them to price match because I can't find it anywhere online.
Since $10 is the minimum credit you need to activate an Optus SIM, it's a perfect alternative to Telstra for porting your existing number in and out again to make the most of a deal with another provider.
thanks, updated
Is it worth the trouble?
Personally, while porting from Kogan-Telstra-Kogan I just spent 2 days without any mobile connection at all because Telstra hadn't completed my port to a $2 SIM properly. I am very tempted to use this Optus SIM instead next time. YMMV.
I have the same problem too.
Going by the vast amount of comments of people who received faulty SIMs in previous deals, I say not worth the potential trouble. You will never recoup the time lost as you spiral into the dramas.
Saw this at 711 on Saturday.
Mayb all 711's have this on offer too??
Yep saw this today in 7eleven in NSW. Also…
The 30 day expiry one is a tough one..
The credit is technically valid for 30 days, but if you use your phone for at least one of:
* Sending a SMS
* Making a phone call
* Using data
For 5 consecutive days, then your $10 credit has only lasted you (a maximum of) 5 days.
The main benefit of that one is probably the flexibility it affords you in being able to use it in any 5 random days (i.e. not necessarily consecutive) in any consecutive 30 day period, but I can't really think of who would get good use out of something like that.
Yes, it's a bit misleading to call it a 30 day plan. It's really any 5 in 30 days, that's why I called it a $2/day plan.
Got one from Woolworths Garden City. None on stand but they found one in a drawer
Edit: Just saw it in Woolies Lane Cove so might be Woolies-wide.
I believe you have a choice of three plans, the one you detailed, a $2/day one, and a 45 day expiry one.
