Went into Harvey Norman to sign up for the $105 100GB lease plan with Optus (+20% off pm when porting from another carrier), and was told about an even better plan which isn't being publicly advertised.

$145 My Plan Plus @ $105
-20% for porting to Optus @ HN = $84/Month.
24 month (non-lease) contract
200GB/Month
6GB roaming.
Unlimited Calls/TXT overseas in Zone 1.
Total plan cost ~$2016 ($84x24).

I was told it was a 'regional' plan, but apparently all of WA is considered regional.
Seems to be running at this price for the entire month of August, and can be stacked with the 20% off deal when porting to Optus at Harvey Norman.

Seems like an amazing deal for the 512GB Galaxy Note 9 with an RRP of $1799 (once the free upgrade from 128GB expires), considering you get to keep the phone at the end of the contract. Or sell the phone outright and you have 200Gb/month for cheap.

Original 20% off deal at Harvey Norman: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/395908

EDIT: Seems that this HN 20% deal may have been extended until the 26th Aug, however keep in mind that the free upgrade from 128GB to 512GB will expire when the phone is released on the 24th

        • Kangal on 17/08/2018 - 12:09

          @Savas:

          Easy…the Note7 fiasco forced Samsung to hold back on improving the capacity, so they instead focused on efficiency.

          Overall the S7-S9 devices are 1.5 day battery life devices (depending on usage)…however, this lack of innovation from the leader has allowed all of the other OEMs to not compete as well.

          The only one outside that norm seems to be Xiaomi (plus some niche Chinese devices) as even Huawei isn't much focussed on battery life (might change Q4 '18) since they've been struggling with their custom chipsets and custom software, where they're sort of draining power much faster than the competitors.

          edit: Ah, forgot about the Razer Phone…great phone but the body is way too weak and the screen is sucking out so much battery that it's a shame. Also it lacks a headphone jack and IP68 waterproofing :(

    $145 My Plan Plus @ $105
    -20% for porting to Optus @ HN = $84 per Month
    -$84 minus 10% student discount via Optus chat = $75.6
    -$75.6*24 months = $1814.4
    -$1814.4 minus $1600 selling the Samsung Note = $214.4
    -$214.4/24months = $8.93
    = $8.93 per month (5 cents per GB)

    Not bad OP!

    • Rochie on 16/08/2018 - 23:46

      Can they actually stack teh student discount with the 20%? Wouldn't of thought they could.

        When the 20% off started there were people in the comments successfully having it applied via Optus chat. I haven't heard anything since to say it has stopped working; perhaps it may depend how kind the rep is feeling.

          Do you honestly think Samsung would make a phone this expensive if they didn’t know there was a market for it? I agree, it’s insanely high, but I am not naive thinking people won’t buy it.

      • Newtz4 on 17/08/2018 - 13:48

        Keep in mind that it is only selling at this price currently for pre-orders (free upgrade from 128GB to 512GB for $1499).
        Once this promotion is over, I believe the price will go up to $1799 for the 512GB version.

          For whatever reason selling an android phone for $1799 likes a joke, whilst sub $500 one can get the job done like a charm. Also I am not a fan of $1000+ phones including iPhones.

        They are. Virgin customers are being offered deals to move across and sign a new contract with optus. If you don't sign up you'll ride your existing contract out at which point you'll need to move to someone else or optus.

        The cheapest way that I can see currently is to add a 3GB mobile broadband plan which is $10 per month for 12 months (usually $20, discounted by $10 when adding to an existing service and signing up for 12 months)

        Not sure if they do a data share SIM like Telstra used to do for $5/mo. Chat is not super helpful at the moment.
