iPhone 8 64GB EXPIRED

$1 cheaper then with virgin, plus includes 20gb of data, streaming of Optus sport (football and cricket), national geographic and tv/music data free.

Confirmed no student discount. Looks like students can save an extra 10% on plans, but someone would have to confirm.

Edit: Appears to be available for both new and existing customers.

Customers who are still in-contract with Optus may be eligible to upgrade. Confirmed possible on SIM-only plan.

Edit edit: various other phones appear to be included in this $59 deal

      download the woolworths mobile app, login, in the my bill page, on top of the page, there is your account number.

      • 4kbargain on 11/12/2017 - 13:23

        I gave the same number but the guy from Optus couldnot port it.

  • kimba88 on 10/12/2017 - 22:19

    Has anybody tried getting Optus to match the $200 eftpos card promotion by adding $200 credit to the bill? I really want this deal! But can't justify the extra spend without the $200

    • hessels92 on 11/12/2017 - 11:57

      I Tried - Originally placed my order with Optus not knowing about the HN deal. Went on live chat and said hey just placed this can you offer some kind of credit. They would not match in any way but were happy to cancel my order no charge. So i went down to HN and got the $200 eftpos card…

        which harvey norman did you go to?

  • test 84 on 11/12/2017 - 00:01

    Which to pick, S8 or Mate 10 Pro? Any reason why one wins out over the other?

    • ce5himm on 11/12/2017 - 00:19

      i was thinking of mate 10 pro. After read some discussion online, both from oz and china. the wifi seems to have some problem (not all , but not an individual case either ). i remember many years ago i brought a huawei phone here. it had wifi problem too, tried another exchange one, both had the same problem. no support from anywhere. the only solution was get refund. according to my experience, apple and samsung are better quality overall. although huawei have done a great job these years. in this deal, i would suggest s8.

  • Jared17 on 11/12/2017 - 02:26

    Anyone with iPhone 7 plus, 128gb memory like me, hesitating if we should get on this deal? Not sure the iPhone 8 with smaller memory makes the deal worthwhile. Thoughts?

    • jabroni on 20/12/2017 - 15:45

      im getting the deal purely for the sim card due to it being $20 cheaper a month than what im paying now and for more data

      i dont see the iphone 8 as that much better so will likely sell it and put it towards some litecoin and hope it hits more than the price of an iphone X2 next year :D

  • danger163 on 11/12/2017 - 08:35

    I'm on Optus simonly plan and finishing up in 2 months. Exit fee is 35$, which I'm ok to pay.

    Can I port to amaysim prepaid and sign up in HN for this plan! Can this all be done today?

    • Bikies on 11/12/2017 - 13:48

      I was in the same boat except my plan had finished. Got a Vodafone $2 sim this morning, ported across then walked into HN.

      Got the deal including the $200 EFTPOS card.

    • tagin on 14/12/2017 - 17:27

      I had 11 months left of my sim only plan, and they waived the fee. They will definitely wave it for yours.

  • beckieQ on 11/12/2017 - 13:30

    Can anyone please help!

    I am currently on a 24-month Handset plan with Optus. Has anyone in the same ship with me been able to upgrade their plan and get the $200 gift card from HN? I can live with a new number as long as I can upgrade to this plan.

    Cheers!

    • aussie216618 on 11/12/2017 - 14:28

      i think its only for new custumer for hn deal.

        Bugger.

  • Bikies on 11/12/2017 - 13:52

    Mentioned the free case and screen protector in store when signing up and staff seemed to be aware of the Ozbargain receipt.

    They said that the Eftpos card wasn't included on it which is why that customer got the extra goodies. I attempted to say something along the lines of "check the T's & C's in your email" but they wouldn't play ball. Seemed to be one or the other.

  • CroDemon on 11/12/2017 - 15:28

      Wth lol how did u get student Disc !!!

      • CroDemon on 12/12/2017 - 02:57

        I was already registered as a student on my old contract, and it somehow carried over. But it's not 10% off, it's closer to 6% for some reason.

  • Rofl5 on 11/12/2017 - 21:38

    so does the final cost of the phone end up being 1.4?

    • InsertName on 13/12/2017 - 11:42

      Closest sim only plan which is $40 a month means this is around $19 in handset repayments.. So it would be about $450 for the iPhone. The whole plan comes to $1400 over 24 months

      • Rofl5 on 13/12/2017 - 11:47

        Ahhhh thank you . Sorry

    Has anyone who ordered off the Optus site over the weekend had any progress on their order?

    • Ning0539 on 12/12/2017 - 17:18

      No, I ordered two, one just received order.no, the other for my gf even not received the confirm email yet.

      • yippy on 12/12/2017 - 17:34

        Was that a temporary Order # or an actual Order #? Getting an Order # is a good thing, means it can be tracked on the website.

          I just spoke to Optus Sales via chat to check on my order and was told it didn't go through. So if you didn't get any confirmation email after you submitted your order maybe you should check up with them.

          Got it all sorted over chat, received an order number and a text saying my upgrade has been successful.

        • Scalding Coffee Cup on 13/12/2017 - 11:50

          @yippy:

          Thanks for this — I spoke over live chat with 2 different support people, then had a phone conversation with someone, and none of them could help with my missing e-mail, order # and phone. Finally spoke to a sales guy over chat, and he mentioned the order didn't go through, and that he could process it now.

    Previously the iPhone 8 was a $80 plan and the iPhone 8 plus $88, a eight dollar difference.
    Has anyone got a iPhone 8 Plus with this deal? What was the uplift?

    • tomsco on 13/12/2017 - 09:36

      Clicking through on the website, iPhone 8 is at $59 and 8 Plus at $88, do doesn't seem like this deal is applicable.

        • yippy on 13/12/2017 - 16:17

          Did you chat to sales? because they can check for you, unless you got a dud service agent.

          @yippy: I spoke with "track your order", for obvious reasons :)

          May give "sales" a shot.

          Use that chat link I had on the previous post and click on sales. Only Sales can see the temp orders and you won't be able to track the order until you have an actual order number.

          Yep, got my order done by sales over chat Tuesday 9:30pm got order # confirmation email and sms to say upgrade has been successful a few minutes later. Wednesday arvo my plan started switching over and the phone was sent same day. Received the phone Thursday morning.

    • BradH13 on 16/12/2017 - 15:27

      I've also received no confirmation email (only the temp one) since Tuesday morning. Rang them on Thursday, and they said due to overwhelming demand, the DC is struggling with processing orders, but assured that the order was successful and said should ship on Friday. Didn't ship on Friday so I rang again today, only to be told now Monday or Tuesday, once again citing that the DC is overwhelmed at the moment.

      I would have just gone into a store to order if I wasn't re-contracting, which is an online only thing that stores and telesales can't process.

    Does anyone actually want the pixel 2? I'm currently contracted with telstra however they'll let me upgrade.

Pm me if anyone is keen :)

    Okay, so another question for the community: Did anyone else receive an order confirmation showing a contract cost which is discounted by 25%? My wife's confirmation shows $44.25/month, with a total minimum contract cost of $1,062. The plan shows as "$59 My Plan Plus".

    She's upgrading from a $40/month plan which had a 25% discount on it (family and friends plan). Did they accidentally carry the discount across?

    • yippy on 14/12/2017 - 10:09
      +1

      No discounts on my plan but the new plan switched over yesterday and it says I'm getting 30GB/month when I check my plan details. Maybe it'll go back to 20GB after the current billing cycle. Also received the phone this morning.

      • Make it so on 14/12/2017 - 11:29

        Thanks.
        What kind of plan did you come from? Does your "customer authority form" which is in the order confirmation state the full amount?

    Vodafone matching this for $59/month, inc. 20GB of data + Unlimited national calls/texts + 2200 minutes of international calling.

    Apparently they previously had it for $87/month, so it has been allegedly discounted by $28/month!

  • chromium on 18/12/2017 - 09:06

    Currently got a $30 for 15 GB Sim only still under contract. So I should be upgrade to this deal with an iPhone 8?

    • BradH13 on 18/12/2017 - 15:41

      I just done this. Minimum break contract fee is $107 on the $30 SIM plan, which reduces by $13 or so every month you've been connected.

      For me, my contract was only 2 and a bit months old, so my break fee was $73, which is apparently split into your next 3 bills.

      Only down side is you can only sign up online for recontracting, and they're so unreliable. I had to ring 4 times, with a total call time of 3 hours and 20 minutes collectively, just for them to push the order through their system. Finally got it done this morning and received a tracking number just before, so glad that's out of the way.

      • chromium on 18/12/2017 - 15:45

        Yeah Optus are horrendous to deal with. That sucks they make you pay to break the contract. I was hoping they'd let me upgrade and restart a 24 month contract. Only a couple of months into the current 12 month SIM only

        I'm sure Telstra let you upgrade

        • BradH13 on 18/12/2017 - 15:54
          +1

          Yeah, Telstra let you off.

          Don't take my word as gospel though. I'm just re-spewing what the service agent told me.

          The PDF re-contracting form they sent me doesn't say anything about my break contract fee, so here's hoping I've been let off.

          Happy to pay it if not though. Mate 10 Pro was the phone I was looking at buying outright anyway, so still leaves me better off, and with much more data inclusion.

          It may be possible to upgrade your SIM only plan. Did so for my wife, who had 3 months to go. Somehow it even carried the 25% discount across from the previous plan. Try it online.

    • Stingy Student on 19/12/2017 - 00:38

      I was also on an Optus BYO plan an they let me upgrade to the $59 phone plan without paying off any break fees (I still had a few months left on the contract).

  • SBP on 19/12/2017 - 01:31

    I haven't read all the comments so sorry if duplicate.

    You can get this deal and upgrade the phone in 12 months for $99 if a better phone on a better deal is available.

    http://smb.optus.com.au/opfiles/Shop/All/cis/Cis%20Documents…

    http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/phones/samsung/galaxy-s8…

    it says:

    How your plan works
    If you use more than your included data during your billing
    month (either on your mobile phone or any connected mobile/
    mobile broadband device), we’ll automatically give you another
    1GB for $10. Each time you use all of your data inclusion we’ll
    give you another 1GB for $10, up to a maximum of 150GB
    additional data on one account per month. Your service may
    then be restricted or we may continue to charge you at these rates.

    • SBP on 19/12/2017 - 12:10

      Edit

      This plan includes the option of New Phone Trade Up. So after 12 months on this plan, you have the option to pay a one-off
      fee of $99, return your original mobile handset to Optus in good working order and purchase a new mobile handset on a new
      24 month plan. You will also need to sign a separate agreement with our second hand vendor to transfer ownership of your
      original mobile handset. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your original mobile handset, you can simply pay out the full
      remaining cost of your mobile handset, including any monthly handset credit that Optus was going to cover. You are under
      no obligation to use the New Phone Trade Up option and this option is only available to new and recontracting customers
      from 11 March 2016. For further information please go to optus.com.au/newphonetradeup

      • GerrardLFC on 19/12/2017 - 12:43

    This is seriously the worst telco I have ever dealt with, Optus is utterly useless, ordered the i8 for my missus on the day of the deal, in live chat I wanted to change to this deal. The operator sent me two wrong CIS’ before even getting it right, I gave her a new address to deliver the phone to. Today I find out that she gave the wrong address on the order, which is now stuck at StarTrack HQ because the delivery address isn’t even valid. On the phone to Optus now and stuck in a 30 minute queue, what a joke.

    Hi guys, currently paying $105 a month for iphone 7 and less data with optus. They said when I signed up I can do a $99 new phone trade up when a new iphone becomes available as long as I have been on the plan for 12 months and I re-contract for 24 months. I want to upgrade to change to the Iphone 8 with this plan but they are not allowing me. I tried instore and they said I had to do it online and then I tried online and they said it is not possible. I don't know what to do from here I feel like they are breaching the contract. It does not say anywhere here that I cannot take up this offer: http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/phones/new-phone-trade-u…

    Apologies but I feel people should know before signing up to a plan and not being able to change after 12 months. What should I do from here? Thanks in advance

    • GerrardLFC on 21/12/2017 - 01:04

      I am in the same situation as you. The whole reason I signed up to a 24 month phone plan was because of the $99 trade up. I was on $25 10GB plan before going onto my S7 plan.

      Now more than 12 months later a nice deal comes along and I want to upgrade to the S8 but no not allowed as part of this deal. I speak to chat they say go in store. Store says go online. So I keep going in circles.

      They have not mentioned it anywhere that you can not use the $99 Trade up towards this plan. They should have included it in the CIS for the plan.

      They want me to payout the handset for around $400 when I keep telling them make it $99

    Does anyone know if the Harvey Normal Eftpos deal is still up? Is there a link?

        I was able to check with Harvey and they confirmed that they don't have this offer anymore…

    Went on live chat,

    They have run out of iPhone 8s, but will put you on a waiting list if you ask. Likewise, for $5 more a month, you can upgrade to the 8 plus

      iPhone 8 plus for $64 that is insane, thanks!

      • Powls on 22/12/2017 - 23:07

        It is only 64GB, but considering spotify is unmetered data usage, as well as netflix, it is plenty for me.

        Jumped on it.

        • pizzip on 23/12/2017 - 00:49

          How does the waiting list work? Do they sign you up to the contract and will then send out the phone when they have stock?

        • Powls on 23/12/2017 - 00:50

          @pizzip:

          No idea. They asked if I was a new customer and offered me the Plus for $5 more.

  • chriise on 02/01/2018 - 23:05

    Can anyone confirm whether Optus Sport subscription was included in the $59 plan? I'm positive it was when i signed up but now appear to have that +$15 added to my bill. Now the deal is gone i can't find the page to print screen. I'll speak to Optus but wondering if anybody else had issue?

    Hey Guys, is this optus offer still valid?
