  • I’m finish chatting with optus and confirm with s9plus $74 a month 20GB With a total of $1776 over 24 months, which the phone will cost me $1008 in 24 months, very good deal

    • +1

      As advertised on their web site. No further sweeteners offered in online chat

  • I was in store yesterday and I'm glad I waited! Cheers OP

  • Great deal..

  • +2

    Optus is killing other providers with amazing offers….

    • +40

      Cant say the same for their customer service.

      • Yup, couldn't figure out how to transfer me from their old system after a week. Unable to use mobile on that time ago having a phone plan where I couldn't use a phone was pretty useless.

      • +4

        Telstra and vodafone have the same sh*t customer service

    • +2

      meh. More congestion.
      4G really isn't 4G right now.

  • Wish they have iphone x at this price..

    • Cheapest iPhone X is
      $73.86/month*

      • Link?

          At Vodafone tho it is 36 months; https://shop.vodafone.com.au/mobile-details/iphone-x-64gb-si…
          ($30 RED) ($43 phone)

          @Snacky: 36m crazy people sign up to these

        • @RogueWolf: yeah.. crazy offers from crazy mobile operators..

        • +1

          @RogueWolf: my dad did this because it was 'cheaper' I thought he was crazy. 24 montha is long enough!

        • @pyro love bird: there’s actually no reason not to go on 36 month. You can pay it off at 24 month point and recontract.

        • @auna: You'd have to recontract with Voda though, I'm trying to get off of them

        • @RogueWolf: No lock in contract, when you cancel you only pay off the phone, essentially a interest free loan for the phone.

        • @jerjergege: that’s when you realise that barely any of your payments have been coming off the handset

        • @RogueWolf: Still better than paying it off in one go,.

          I upgrade phones every year, but i can see a benefit to the people who may use a phone over 2+, meaning they won't need to pay the huge lump sum.

          Not for all, but still pretty good.

  • +2

    Hmmm $10 less then I get the deal.. Maybe wait 6 more months… 😀

    • Hahaha exactly my thoughts too

  • is this an online only offer?

    • +4

      Walk in store and show them the advert. They will honour it (just grabbed one 5 minutes ago)
      Feel the store was dodgy as…as they would be signing people up to the shitter plans if u didnt ask for this one

      • Unfortunately ive already ordered online - reckon i could get it in store instead of getting it delivered?

  • +5

    Hooray Samsung finally pull their finger out and sell the 256GB model in non-asian countries. Took them long enough

    • +3

      Finally Samsung are starting to give consumers in Australia the full range of options when it comes to colours and specifications.

      For example the Coral Blue colour wasn't offered in Australia for the S7, the S8 you could get it only at Samsung outlets and now it's available everywhere for the S9. Although now that the front of the phones are black regardless of what colour you pick it doesn't matter so much - especially if you put your phone in a case.

      Just need Samsung to sell dual sims phones in Oz now

      • Yup until then its grey imports for me. Dont like the gimped local models.

        • same - all my previous galaxy phones have been grey imports. Maybe the S10 will have dual sim and can be my first locally sourced galaxy phone

  • +1

    Oh awesome I am so glad I decided to wait a couple of weeks after the lackluster pre-order plans that were going around.

  • This or JB Telstra Pixel 2 XL $59pm?

    • If you like a lot of features / slow updates - S9 - If you like a really good camera / really fast updates - Pixel 2 XL -

    • +6

      Also make sure you check those blue tint screen on the pixel and other bugs on the internet. If you care about that go s9. Do not get me wrong, I am typing on pixel right now. It is a great phone, but not you'd expect from a rrp 13xx phone.

      • +5

        honestly though once you use a phone with an infinity screen and curved edges…a phone with a rectangular screen and massive bezels just seems so….primitive. true story, my friend showed me his pixel 2 and i was actually physically repulsed by it lol, i mean it's 2018! Probably gonna cop some flak but I just had to make a point lol.

        • Pixel 2 xl is not that bad. Agree that 2 look is not so 2018. Also still a lot of people out there do not like those curved edge include myself. That's why I choose s7 instead of edge before. However they are both amazing phones out there you can buy.

        • Lol how triggered would you be if I busted out my iPhone SE?

        • -2

          @Icecold5000:

          If it's a blast from the past, sure, but not for a 2018 mode. I see a rectangular screened phone in action now I giggle to myself a little, similar to when I see someone use a phone with actual buttons on them.

    • i got the pixel 2 xl yesterday bang for buck i reckon, up to you there pro and cons for both phone. pixel stock android fast update,come with google home mini, only 59 a month and your with Telstra cant go wrong. while the s9 has heap more like f1.5, headphone jack 256gb option 20gb data a month,

    • I've got the pixel 2 xl also. Great phone. Converted from iPhone everything transferred in 5 minutes all apps photos. Is a great phone

      • How did u transfer everything in 5 mins?

        • With the lightning cable plugged into iPhone and the USB plugged into pixel 2xl during set up copies everything

    • Go physically check out both phones. I actually prefer the look and feel of the he pixel 2 xl. Yes I'm probably the majority. The pixel just feels more premium.
      Yeah the blue tint is there if don't know how to actually hold a phone.

    • Personally from a Note 8 user, I had my mum purchase the Pixel 2 XL abd I reckon its a better phone than what I'm using. Already on 8.1 too.

  • Damn, I wish I knew Optus were doing the $59 before I preordered. I would have signed up at Harvey Norman for sure to get the $100 eftpos card too! I preordered on a higher plan with no gift card from an optus shop. Do you think I can go back to an optus shop and get it switched over?

    • Check cooling off period, do not open the phone box, if you did it in store go to that store they will sort it out for you.

    • Basically a samdung S8s (like iPhone increment “S” update)

  • Just FYI, sidesync no longer works with the S9.

    • whats sidesync ?

    • They probably think DeX is a better solution. For them $$$

    • They're putting it in Samsung Flow (screen mirroring) with future update.

  • +2

    Was told in store that the $100 Gift card wasn't included

    • in store meaning HN or Optus?

      • +1

        HN

        • Cheers for the info

    • +1

      $100 is only available for above $69 plan.

    • I just go to store HN they give the gift card for $69 deal . The sales also give me his number if you need pm me .

  • +6

    For those on an Optus SIM only plan, I can confirm that it's possible to upgrade to this offer without any cancellation fees.

  • keen on getting the s9 on the $69 plan. currently on a $59 S8 7gb optus plan since April last year. any advice from OzB on how best to do this?

    if they fix the shitty battery issue on the s8, i'll defo pay for the upgrade.

    • I just spoke to optus chat - my plan ends in September though. they said would take the remaining handset repayments out of the next 3 payments, so selling my s7 on ,say, mobile monster would almost cover the payout fee in my case. Disclaimer - chat to Optus chat to confirm

    • Read my post at the bottom 😀

  • Wish we could get one of these carrier deals with the Note 8, no interest in the S9 or the Pixel 2.

    • Agree wish the Note 8 would come with a good deal.

      • Note 8 was $79 plan with $0 headset fee from optus 2 months ago

  • Can anyone tell me if these come with Optus bloatware and the yes start up screen?

    • Yes

      • +1

        Thanks, that blows 👎

        • Yes. I got S8 last yesterday from Optus and insert Telstra sim card, then found Wifi call, Volte call all grey out and also got call drop out issue, swapped with S8 clear version. All good.so it sucks even it's said UNLOCKED

        • @jassssone: Unlocked but network branded I guess.

        • +1

          Easily change to stock s9 firmware via flashing.. Not hard at all

  • Normally HN offers $200 eftpos cards through optus, has optus dripped ut since then? :(

  • My wife is at harvey norman right now, signed up to this $69 S9 optus plan. You get $100 gift card + free phone case

    • Which HN?

      • +1

        Dandenong, it doesnt matter which store you go to tho

        ps. you get to pick a phone case up to $50 value and inside the S9 box is ANOTHER free case lol

        • I went to HN this morning and they offer me this deal without $100 gift card and free phone case. Is this an advertised deal?

        • +1

          @sydneybargainer:

          Not advertised…. I just asked for the deals as i saw people on ozbargain getting it, push them harder or go to another store

        • +1

          @sydneybargainer: i also go to HN they offer th gift card for $69 deal also free screen protector. He also left his phone number if you need to chat. He said the deal just out 2 days ago bit not advertising .

          ..

  • +2

    Got my $100 card from Harvey Norman. New customers or other numbers ported to Optus are eligible. $100 eftpos gift card is for $59 plan plus $10 phone payment, $200 gift card is for $89 phone plan plus $10 phone payment.

    • So $200 GC for $120 iPhone X plan ?

      • Didn't ask about phones other than S9 and S9+

    • Hi..
      Just wondering if you get the full price on the receipt to claim for TRS at the airport

  • +1

    Damn not available to trade up customers. So the trade up is waste of time if you can never use it on good deals.

    • I was hoping for trade up, our S8+s enters 12 mths in April.

    • I signed up when they had the 20% off for friends and families

  • +1

    Signed up online. S9+ 64g

    • is it dual SIM or single SIM ?

      • The one ordered online through chat is single sim.

        Was also told that it was an online only deal, but I didn't ask in store to see if they would honour it.

  • Seriously dumb question here as I don't really know much about phone plans…

    Will there be a cheaper similar plan out in 3-4 months time?

    Battery on my s5 has expanded and also caused my screen to split out. My phone still works though. Not really urgent for me to replace it, but I could still if I wanted

    • +1

      Eventually it will.

    • +1

      I think if the battery has expanded it is better to change soon. You dont want an exploded phone that causes injuries or fire.

    • Take it to a Samsung kiosk

  • I'd rather see a $40 per month deal on the S8 with similar imclusions.

  • How does the free plan cancellation with phone payout work? I can't find on the CIS how much the phone is worth.

    If the monthly handset repayment is only $10, is it just $10 x remaining months of contract? That can't be right… does anyone know?

    • Check your contract, it will have actual cost of phone in there. Divide by 24 and multiply by remaining months. I recently did that.

      • I'm not on contact. Haven't purchased this yet. Just checking what the costs might be if I break contact.

    • Those handset payments are discounted by the carrier.
      When you cancel, you pay the remaining months, but at the non-discounted price.
      Which is RRP divide by 24months.
      Usually how it works.

    • The S9+ is $56 a month if you cancel your contract, I assume the S9 would be around $50

  • Optus really do not like their current customers.

    No Trade Up allowed - ok same deal as previous S8 $59 deal.

    I accept to pay out current plan and get new plan but they will not allow bundle discount from current plan to this plan even though the CIS clearly says if you have other Optus services you will get discount. Why bother including it in the CIS if no discount allowed
