      i think you;d have a leg to stand on if you 'upgrade' moreso than downgrading to a cheaper plan. worked for me once, but that was no less than 4 years ago tbh.

    Upgrade my two numbers to the $36 plans got two emails asking me to call optus regarding an issue:
    cue hard sell on galaxy tab and extra sim
    Told him no and have been on hold for 10 minutes now.

  • Enixon on 07/08/2018 - 20:24

    I just joined this plan today and I can't complain.
    I switch over from Vodafone from a $40 sim only plan that offers 20gb of data. Spoke to Vodafone through their online chat channel and the best that they could offer me was $60 p/m for 60gb of data. It makes no senses why they would bother with a counter offer like that. Anyways long story short I'm going to pay my cancelation fee of $80 and start my new plan with Optus. It is to hard to pass on the 20% discount and this is the best data plan on the market. Their staff discount is 25% and we are getting 20%, not bad IMO

  • Dogs on 07/08/2018 - 20:39

    I have been with Optus for nearly a year now signed up for the 15gb deal for $30 when it first came out. They stuffed up my first bill which I complained about, I have been charged only $17 each month for the last 10 months if I upgrade my plan to this one will I only have to pay $23 a month? Could they charge me for the previous 10 mth errors?

  • wxia6 on 07/08/2018 - 20:59

    Thanks! Just called Vodafone, they matched with optus. $36 per month for 30GB.

    • pork chop on 08/08/2018 - 11:46

    • haylz007 on 09/08/2018 - 12:38

      Was this just an upgrade to your current Vodafone plan? I'm currently on a 12 month plan, with 6 months left and a $80 early upgrade fee still. Would they let me change to that plan with no fee do you think??

  • 0 jingle 0 on 07/08/2018 - 23:01

    You’ve got to be kidding. Just signed up and they add 20% off.

    Is there a cooling off period ?

    • eckorock on 08/08/2018 - 15:24

      10 days

  • tomwood on 08/08/2018 - 00:46

    I spoke to someone on online chat about upgrading without a cancellation fee (I'm on the $40 My Plan Plus 12M SIM Only ($36 Student Promo)). They said I can upgrade but the bonus data won't apply. I asked where this is mentioned in the terms and conditions or CIS, and they said it was not mentioned. I think they made it up!

    • edshays on 08/08/2018 - 10:10

      The chat stuff just pull their answers out of their a$$. The last three times I've used the chat (most recent yesterday) they've told me information which is completely wrong. I had to pull up documentation to prove to them that the advice given was incorrect. Best to take what they say with a grain of salt.

      • Robbo14 on 08/08/2018 - 10:30

  • Bratam on 08/08/2018 - 08:38

    I have just recontracted to the $36 plan and I previously had a student discount on a $40 plan. Will the student discount stack onto this deal and make it $32.40 ?

    • redhatguy on 08/08/2018 - 13:46
      +1

      Chat told me it would be $31.50. They take the discount from the initial price, which is better for us. Less 20% of $45, and less 10% of $45. So that's $45-$9-$4.5 = $31.50

        Awesome thanks for the tip. If I move two other phones onto my Optus account on the 3gb plan ($25-$10 discount for additional Optus Services )will they also qualify for the 10% Student discount on the same billing account ?

  • andyhui01 on 08/08/2018 - 10:17

    • quarrymaster on 14/08/2018 - 11:33

      $1,200 is what MobileMonster is offering, so that's a win-win for you.

  • Raven13 on 08/08/2018 - 11:31

    I'm an existing customer for $40/month 30GB, and I tried via live chat to change to the $36/month. They wouldn't do it unless I paid $180 to cancel the rest of my current contract. I was willing to sign up for an extra year at the end of my current contract, but no dice. I'm not paying them $180.

    • Robbo14 on 08/08/2018 - 12:05

      Don't sweat to much man, Better offers when your current runs out. Ive had no success with optus live chat.

    • Bratam on 08/08/2018 - 13:06

      Yep agree don't sweat. As I have found out on numerous occasions there will be better deals when your contract is up.

    • ExtraSalt on 09/08/2018 - 07:23

      how far in are you? i was on the Optus $40 as well but was bit over 8months in, they signed me up no worries, no fees..try again if you want, it could be the person you speak to. Some are known to be very difficult.

      Otherwise, what the other fellas said, wait it out, you'd be only $4 better off and you lose Mobile TV with this offer.

      • NeBlackCat on 11/08/2018 - 12:28

        Is the mobile TV thing just unmetered access to the iViewer, TenPlay, etc servers, or is it a multicast over 4G type of thing (like iirc Telstra used to do).

        Because I don't bother with the former. Times not being right for WA, adverts getting unnecessarily repeated, not always showing what actual broadcast TV is showing, different UIs / features for different channels, not available on Android TV, etc.

  • eckorock on 08/08/2018 - 13:58

    I signed up for the $45/month less then 30 days ago

    They told me there was only a 10 day cooling off period-
    then they also refused to do anything to put me on the new plan, unless I was willing to pay a $200+ cancellation fee

    What I will do is call back and try to go to the $55/month plan 50GB, which is now $44/mo

    • eckorock on 08/08/2018 - 14:32

      Update, they refused to put me on the upgraded plan over the phone and include the 20% discount, because it's an 'online only offer'
      however I should be able to just sign up online

      • eckorock on 08/08/2018 - 14:39
        +1

        Just signed up for the $55/mo, which is discounted to $44, and offers 50GB (25+25 bonus)

        Online, no problems.

        So basically I saved $1/month and got an extra 20GB per month.

      • eckorock on 08/08/2018 - 14:40

        The customer service/sales staff were absolutely fkn useless.

      Wow Optus truly are c****…

      They asked me to call their online sales department, and said that even though I was moving to a higher plan, because it's $1 cheaper due to the 20% off promo, that I have to pay an early termination fee of $200+.

      Unbelievable.

      • eckorock on 08/08/2018 - 17:04
        +4

        Finally, I called up their complaints / billing dept and told them based on their T&C I should be allowed to upgrade to the higher plan without a cancellation fee, and that I will be going to the TIO if they can't resolve it -

        so they let me go onto the $55/plan (currently $44 with the 20% off)

      • Dadidalol on 11/08/2018 - 07:39

        Same boat, no luck with online chat :(
        I'm only about 2 months into my contract of $50 for 60GB, and to switch to a higher plan ($52 for 80GB current), they asked me to pay a $225 early termination fee. Like. Wow.

      I signed up just a week ago when the double data offer was supposedly expiring only to find it didn’t expire it got better. I asked that they may add the 20% given how recent it was and they are not prepared to give any leeway at all. Even Harvey Norman will give you a refund on the difference if you buy something and then find it on sale the next week. I’m not impressed and won’t be recontracting my other 2 services with Optus even if it is their prerogative.

      • ExtraSalt on 09/08/2018 - 07:26
        +1

        My thoughts are that i think they would be inclined to if it was same for same, but they have been very cheeky and removed bonus Mobile TV from this deal…thats where they will claim its a new package.

        Otherwise, you should have a 10-day cooling off period unless you initiated an "early upgrade" before your current contract ended which then (in my case previously) the 10-day is void.

        • 0 jingle 0 on 09/08/2018 - 21:17

          According to Optus there is no 10 day cooling off period. I was going to use it when the 20% offer appeared a few days after signing up

  • Bratam on 08/08/2018 - 16:07
    +3

    All these people signing up for cracking deals from Optus and then a month or two later there is a slightly better Optus deal and they all want to get out of their contract and jump onto the latest deal and not have to pay the contract break fee ? I just cant see how Optus is in the wrong here.

    • 0 jingle 0 on 08/08/2018 - 21:32

      In my case it’s merely a few days but you are correct, they are under no compulsion.

      Funny story related to this though.

      These companies have no idea how many hats the people they don’t care to look after wear. I once managed a large fleet of phones and was actually negotiating contracts when one of the prospective providers managed to show they were really not interested in their customers in other dealings I had with them. I too was under no compulsion and it cost them an $800,000 contract.

      A little bit of consideration for your customers really can go a long way.

  • docmartin on 08/08/2018 - 18:55

    Anyone know if they'll do the student discount on top and if any existing customer has been able to either get an extra discount or netflix thrown in?

    • MHK-11 on 08/08/2018 - 20:57

      I tried myself for student discount over chat three times yesterday when the deal was fresh, but had no success. None of my tactics worked sadly haha. On their main homepage it says you can’t apply additional discounts, so slim pickings. I’d love to hear if anyone found success, which is the only reason I’ve hesitated in signing up.

    • neomoz on 09/08/2018 - 07:24

      Yeah I went through the checkout process, the final checkout screen has the wrong monthly total(ie no discount applied) and it doesn't list the bonus data. So right now I have little faith their online system will even process the order correctly.

    • H-Culture on 09/08/2018 - 21:01

      Well no signs of the discount or the bonus data on my new sign up. They say it reflects on second bill… So first bill I pay full price and get half data..wow?

        • k1k1 on 16/08/2018 - 09:22

          Bought it first then applied the student discount afterwards. Bear in mind you can only use the discount on ONE plan. So if you have an internet plan also you have to choose the phone or internet plan.

  • raz0r11 on 10/08/2018 - 10:57

    • ChickenAdobo on 15/08/2018 - 14:46

          If you need an iPhone I suggest holding off till end of September/ early October. The three big telco will be refreshing their offers and data amount.

          BYO 12 months offer alot of freedom. After 12 months you are free to jump to another better deal.

    I re-contracted one of my sims to the $36 plan. Managed to get $5 credit off as well so $31 in total.

      What witchcraft did you use for the $5? I tried every incantation that I know, without success.

      • D6C1 on 25/08/2018 - 22:11

        After I sent through to disconnections team. I was blushing. I wasn't going to leave lol

    Note that you do need to pay extra for the video streaming whereas it was included free in previously. Hence decided to stay on current plan. Something to consider for people looking to recontract.

    • NeBlackCat on 27/08/2018 - 16:56

      Another 15GB is a lot of video at 1.5Mbps though (and does anyone actually watch TV on their phone?).

      Which reminds me, the blurb says free standard definition TV, at max. 1.5mbps.

      But what if I have HD Netflix? Does that mean I get up to 1.5mbps unmetered, with anything over that being metered? Or does it somehow limit the stream to 1.5mbps, forcing you to use SD?

      • jlogic on 29/08/2018 - 21:31

        Which blurb? The only blurb I can see is that mobile TV streaming will cost an extra $5 a month.

        • NeBlackCat on 30/08/2018 - 02:10

          The small print for the TV streaming add on, directly from the deal page. It says:

          "Streaming apps subject to change and subscription required. Stream Video up to 1.5Mpbs."

          If you follow the link to "Full Terms" you also see:

          "Enjoy movies and TV shows on your device in standard definition without stressing about data."

        • jlogic on 30/08/2018 - 15:22

          @NeBlackCat: Ah so same thing. On the new plans you need to pay $5 a month for it.

      I signed up to this but found the data speeds terrible

      Was getting 1Mbps at Central Station.

      Complained and ported back to Telstra.

      • marantz on 01/09/2018 - 12:31

        Appalling! 😜

        • Rizzler on 01/09/2018 - 13:23

    • kronicmacstigator on 01/09/2018 - 12:30

      Bloody hell… I only have a couple of months left on my contract I think

    • OzBtheLord on 01/09/2018 - 12:31

      1Mbps appealing? username does not check out!

      • Rizzler on 01/09/2018 - 13:24
        +1

        And in true OzBargain fashion I collected a $200 JB Voucher for being a “new” customer to Telstra

    • this is us on 01/09/2018 - 12:32

      Same deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/395450 ?

    • No on 01/09/2018 - 12:38

      Hey guys, I was about to do another 365 days of Kogan 32gb. If I already have an existing data plan with optus which has unlimited netflix if I data share with this will this service also get the netflix?

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 05/09/2018 - 11:06

    Anyone had problem claiming the extra data? I recontracted both numbers but only getting the base 15gb data on both

    • coco1458 on 16/09/2018 - 18:08

      The extra data is supposedly meant to be from the 2nd month onwards, but even then I had to live chat for them to apply it
