          Probably only if your tv takes a Sim card too

        • Shonky on 22/01/2018 - 20:34

          Iff you can tether your TV to your mobile, it should work (I have tethered a Chromecast and it seemed to work) but if your TV connects to different server to deliver the content then you might be up for data charges.

      • Shonky on 22/01/2018 - 20:36

        Worked fine for me Chromecasting, but that is definitely different to running the app on a TV. They do also make a note about it being SD streaming - not really sure how they control that with the app.

  • Briefcase Mong on 22/01/2018 - 12:38

    Is this the first gen iPad pro ?

    • youngchul76 on 22/01/2018 - 14:33

    So in effect, could buy this, sell the iPad for approx. $1500 (ie. $62.50/month for 24 months) and this plan would have a net cost of less than $20 for 100GB data? Dayum.

    Could I get away with mobile data instead of my cruddy FTTN… hmmmm.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/01/2018 - 13:01

      This is actually what I've done with the previous deal for the 10.5 inch iPad for $52.50 with 100GB data. The iPad was obviously worth a lot less, but I cancelled my home broadband and now use a 4G modem with the Optus Sim from this plan. I'd recommend testing your speeds at different times in your home off 4G, because I've had times where I've for whatever reason been getting less than 1 megabit and then other times a few hours later, I'm getting 55 megabits.

      Just something worth checking out before you go for it as I know I wish I did!

      • TheZohan on 22/01/2018 - 13:04

        Cool, thanks for the advice. Other than those issues, going OK for you or not really worth it?

        I am 20/10 on NBN, looks like it'd be about 20/5 on 4G, though more testing required on that.

        • [Deactivated] on 22/01/2018 - 13:27
          +2

          Overall, its going OK and I do like the freedom it gives me to not worry about data usage on my phone & iPad as its all just one big pool of data that I can use at home or anywhere else. Definitely worth it if the speeds you'll get off 4G are decent based on your location :)

      • Shanp on 22/01/2018 - 13:43
        +1

        What modem did you go with and does it affect the unmetered data allowance?

      • Boba on 23/01/2018 - 18:02

        Same as what Shanp is saying… what modem are you using? Is it reliable?

    • bindis on 23/01/2018 - 17:03

      I don't even have NBN yet - still on ADSL, and it is so slow even the speed test drop out most of the time, but on a really really good day will get 3/0.5GB. Was holding out until NBN, but it has been delayed in my area for another 9 months apparently, so was looking at other options but they were all too expensive. But this deal works out nicely!!!

      On my phone 4G internet with Optus is 9/5 GB most of the time.

      Any recommendations for good 4G modems?

  • GunnerMcDagget on 22/01/2018 - 13:17

    I still use my 4th gen ipad from 5 years ago. This should be a nice upgrade.

    Just purchased deal through online chat. Customer service guy said order was processed and email sent out for payment details. Haven’t received email yet, anyone else have similar experience? Anyway big thanks to op as this is great deal for me as presently paying 90 bucks a month for unlimited wireless broadband…only have option of useless satellite in my area.
    100 go plus free streaming should be enough I hope 😀

      yep goes through credit check, and it is $10 for every gb you go over.

  • Jackkkkkk on 22/01/2018 - 15:51

    Good price! I'm on the $79p/m 100gb with 512 ipad pro 10.7. 12.9 is just overkill though imo

    • youngchul76 on 22/01/2018 - 16:48

      Eh? You mean total price of $240?? Or total price of $10? I wouldn’t pay 240 for the kB as you can easily get it second hand much cheaper or from eBay 20 off deal?

  • clandestino on 22/01/2018 - 18:20

    hi guys. I have a sim-only plan already with Optus, $40 per month for 12gb I think. Should I just go for this deal on top of my existing plan, or is there a more cost-effective way of doing things that I'm missing?!

    cheers

      Hey, I recently re-contacted that $40 12gb plan to $40 15gb, you should do that as well, you get 3 extra gigs for free. Basically.

      Select 512 Gb and scroll to the very right.

  • birdie on 22/01/2018 - 21:38

    Been considering an iPad Pro, and this deal made me jump now… I definitely didn't need 100GB of data, but I guess when my current phone contract runs out I can switch to Optus for it and get the base plan with least amount of data then set up data pooling.

    Now to keep my eye out for a deal on the Apple Pencil and Apple 12.9 Smart Keyboard…

  • SMI7HY on 22/01/2018 - 21:48

    Can I sign up for this now, then a phone plan at a later date and still data share across the 2 plans? Or would I have to do both at the same time?

    I know the Ts and Cs on the Optus website say if you tether or use chromecast to watch Netflix or Stan the data will not be unmetered but just wondering if anyone has actually tested this? I'm thinking of getting this deal and putting the sim card in a 4G modem and sharing the internet around the house. The main thing I want to know is, if I do this and watch Netflix via the Netflix app on my smart TV (i.e. not through chromecast) or via PS3 will it be unmetered? Also, if I am watching Netflix on more than one device like my TV and an iPad at the same time, will this be unmetered?

    • bozbargain on 23/01/2018 - 12:34
      +1

      From what I understand, it's only unmetered if you watch it through the iOS app on your iPad holding the 4G sim. As soon as you put the 4G sim in a modem or connect another device to the iPad (tethering), it becomes a WiFi connection like any other normal WiFi network. Airplaying from your iPad should work (if you have an AppleTV), Chromecast or Google Cast would not (since Netflix wouldn't play from your iPad, it is just used as a remote). You don't really want to watch Netflix in SD on a big screen anyway I guess so I think it's safe to assume you're only benefiting from the data-free streaming on your primary device (the iPad in this case).

    Mine doesn’t seem to be in the system.

    Wondering if it’s just mine and I’m just being impatient as next day delivery didn’t state what date it begins.

    • GunnerMcDagget on 23/01/2018 - 16:10

      All I've received so far is a temporary order number. If I log into my account and check orders then it says I don't have any orders. I gather it was just a large influx of orders at the time but I'm sure it'll get there eventually.

      • cloudie9 on 23/01/2018 - 19:42

        You need to chase them up. I did today twice and they managed to get the order through. My order said it has left the warehouse but no tracking number. So I probably chase that up again later.

        Edit: as soon as I finished chatting with Optus, tracking show up under my AusPost account by itself . Lol

      • GunnerMcDagget on 24/01/2018 - 21:03

        Looks like they're doing what they normally do when they have a lot of orders. They deliver to areas rather than who ordered first.

        I received a message at 6am saying my order had left the warehouse. By 4pm it still said "in progress" and startrack had no tracking data so I contacted Optus. They said that it left the warehouse but hasn't arrived at Startrack facilities yet. No idea how long it takes to get from the warehouse to Startrack facilities but it's starting to look like I may not receive it until after the long weekend.

        • ddxsamx on 24/01/2018 - 21:24

      • Bernstar on 28/01/2018 - 01:37

        Thanks, I also happened to visit the shops today, one said out of stock, another did say head office stopped them from selling and that they were out of stock.

        He did take down my number and said that on Monday, head office may advise them whether they could get more stock in.

        They are essentially selling at cost, and giving away the service for free, this could well be clearing of stock so doubt they would ‘order’ more in.

        Happy for you that u got it though!

      Optus is pretty shit TBH, always been a Telstra customer.

      Called the call centre to check stock level was told they cannot access store stock levels, and been told to go to their website to check but it is broken and not fetching any data.

      Wanted to give some feed back, but apparently they only take them via telephone/hand written letter, no option for emails/webform which is far more convenient. Could be mgt’s initiative to stop negative feedback though.
