amaysim $10 SIM Starter Pack (1GB) $1 @ Woolworths

750

I know it is not as good as the expired $1 recharge voucher deal, but you can't complain much when it comes to $1/1GB data, right?

Not sure if it is VIC only or nationwide. I bought 2 so it is not limited to 1 per customer.
I saw the yellow price tag at the front desk only, where actual mobile phones are sold, but none at the gift card/ sim card section.
The price tag indicates promotion lasts for two week.
1GB data valid for 28 days from activation. Not sure about the sim card expiry date.
Don't forget to use ewish gift card to save a further 5 cents :D
Enjoy your $1 data~!

PS, bananas are soooo expensive recently, same price in Coles and Aldi :(

    Tell me more about the banana cavendish, OP.

    • The original and the best

      (I find the Aldi bananas taste bland :( )

  • +15

    Should be nationwide.
    Avoid self serve for the transaction as may fail during activation process and you will need to go to a normal checkout or front desk.
    Expiry is 12 months from activation.
    Take some kids in and let them hold a banana each on the way out.

    • 2) Go back to the car ~ loop back around and repeat

    • Yeah, this happened to me before I read this. They sorted it easy enough though.

    apeeling offer

    • Get a bunch then.

      • of banana ??

  • can this be usaed to top up an account?

    • +1

      it's the starter pack. new customers only.

    • +1

      No.
      But get on the POPI bandwagon like the rest of us.

    • You might be able to use it as a "replacement sim" if you lost your sim fir whatever reason. I did it last year with a $2 sim, the process was fast. Not sure if the credit still applies if you get a sim kit.

      • On the back of these sim kits it specifically states it can not be used as a replacement

        • Damn, thanks for letting me know.

  • Thanks OP, got myself 5 today. $1 for a GB is better than $1 for coffee.

    • +3

      Being paid $20 cashback for 15GB + unlimited overseas calls to Japan etc for 28days is better😀
      That'll pay for 20 $1 coffees😉
      Depends on what you want it for of course. So get both!

    • Why do you need 5? You're going to have 5 different numbers.

      • +1

        If you only want the data, the number doesn't matter. You can use 1 at a time & throw away the SIM when finished (or keep number for porting).

        • +1

          But isn’t it limited to 5 prepaid service per person?! This happen to ask once activating a new mobile sim

        • +1

          @Armin65:

          Just say no, usually still works for many more than 5, or even 50 lol.

    Shopbak Promo is still active for AmaySIM

    • Does that include the $10 starter packs?

      • Haven't tried it - but perhaps get the Unlimited 15GB plan ($40 with $60 cashback) then downgrade to the $10 pack after the cashback?

  • saw this yesterday in Margate, Qld

  • Can you transfer your phone number onto these sims? or are they data only?

    • Yes. No.

      • Thanks. No Thanks.

        • Just don't answer the phone. :) But 1GB would be a bit low for a data SIM. Still, it's only a buck.

    • Can you transfer your phone number onto these sims?

      That's the whole point of these 'starter packs'.

  • Are these activated when you purchase them or can I activate them at a later date?

    • I would say you activate online with ID. However the preloaded credit may have an expiry date.

      • Thanks. Can anyone confirm this? I did read in another deal that someone was told that they were activated when purchased.

        • +1

          That's different. At a supermarket they don't ask for ID so it can't be activated there.

    • It said at the back of the Sim pack "Activate SIM within 12 months of purchase."

  • Expiry is 12 months from activation / So we then register with code within 12 months this " activation " does not start when we bought sims. We still get 12 months to use correct ?

    • It would mean the expiry of the preloaded credit. They can't activate without ID.

  • +2

    This Deal is also available in Coles

    • Oh dear, I hope they are not going out of business what with the shenanigans of Amaysim Energy. I ported away because I got sick of their energy spam, they discontinued their 365 day data pack, and SMS settings would get disrupted if I put in another Optus or MVNO SIM. But I might grab one or three of these, handy for visitors.

      Can confirm this. Bought a couple. They can be put through self serve machines but there is a "gift card" loading phase.

      • Also tried on self serve. Any more than 3 would require assistant override. Also required an assistant override at the end. My advice is just do it at a manned checkout to avoid the hassle.

        • I only needed one override, as soon as it scanned the first of two kits, which I think is inevitable because it's a "gift card". The rest went automatically. Maybe a more capable machine than the one you encountered.

  • Can I use this with the Groupon 6 month voucher, that is use the voicher from groupon in the qctivation of this sim instead of waiting week for new one.

  • Just went and got a few in Sydney CBD - so it is national-wide( without any advertisment tag though) so thanks to OP ! go for kids ipad on the go !

  • No ad or tag, but price valid at Woolworths Skygate (BNE)

  • Thanks OP. Bought a few in Sydney.

  • Is there 10 dollors credit in this starter pack? So can you make calls or receive calls with it?

    • Yes, there is credit. You'll have unlimited calls and text on the $10 prepaid plan.

  • +1

    but does it support Banana28?

    • It uses Optus wholesale network, so yes.

  • Tried earlier near work and it was scanning at $1. Also tried a local Woolworths but it was scanning at $10.

  • I have bought it($10 starter kit) today for $1 from Woolworth.
    Thanks

  • $10 in the met centre

  • I bought one today (vIc highpoint) and paid at the counter. Received the activation confirmation receipt. $1

  • What's the reception like on the Cavendish S9?
