Hi everyone, I hope you can help as I’m not so tech savvy. My daughter is looking for a new Oppo to replace her F1s (2years old) and although its 5 months away I was going to buy it for her Christmas. In your opinions I can buy the Oppo A73 (which she likes) for $200 ish in Target or because I’m a Virgin customer and happy with the Optus service I can get an R11s (for $0) on a $40 plan with 5gb on a two year plan (which I'd use). The question is, should I take the Optus plan and give her the phone and find her a 2gb plan somewhere or buy the A73 for $200 and get her a 2gb plan?
She likes the Oppo and doesn't want to change.
I’ve confused myself (which really isn't hard) with the pros and cons and need someone else’s input please.
You can get better deals for $40 such as 15GB data (with unlimited data banking, calls & texts to au phones and selected countries) on Belong (Telstra network) or you can get 5GB (with everything like $40 except intl calls & texts) for $25. No lock in but say you are on it for 24 months like Optus and it equals to $600. Optus is $960, giving you a $360 saving and when you buy the phone for $200 - $160 saving! Thank me later.
