    dann! bought it when 30%off

    • Me too… (sad face)

      • I bought another one for family just to balance the lost. is that a good idea?

    • +1

      dann! bought it full price!

    • +1

      Cancel previous purchase if you didn’t redeem it by asking groupon support and they will put store credit and then buy again with 15% cashback :)

  • +1

    how many can you buy / and apply?

  • I still can't active from the last deal. Keeps saying error when I go to process the payments. Live chat wants me to buy sims and activate over the phone. Did anyone else experience similar and have a solution?

    • +2

      I got that error when I selected voucher for recharges, I changed to bpay and it worked.

    • I choose paypal and it went through

  • Thanks OP. Good timing!

  • Sorry what does it mean by redeem voucher by the 14th but activate sim by the 24th. What's the difference?

    • Redeem Groupon voucher by 14th to receive sim. Activate sim by 24th.

      • Oh I see, thanks!

      • My current plan doesn't run out until the 27th. How would I go about maximizing the use of my current plan?

        I redeem voucher by the 14th and then activate by the 24th? So that means my number would swap over on 24th and my 4 months would start then?

        • yeah this is what it seems like. Best option would be to activate on the 24th

        • +2

          Are you currently with amaysim? If so and you want to use the same number you can't do it that way. Amaysim won't let you redeem the voucher on a new plan if the mobile number is already active in their system, even if you only plan on activating at a later date.

          If you are with a different provider, no problem.

          • @tranter: Nope, currently with another provider. So it's a normal swap to another company. Thanks for highlighting it just in case I didn't know.

    • +1

      i believe when you buy this.. you get a voucher that need to use by 14th by buying the sim using the voucher. then you need to activate the sim by 24th.
      — oops beaten by 21 min.. lol. old page.

    Is it possible to get around the new customers condition with a new email?

    • I used a new email (same CC, home address etc, as I ported from Amaysim to Telstra, then back again).

      Now I’m waiting for the new Amaysim sim to arrive and update as such.

      • +1

        Sweet. I wonder if you'll be able to activate the sim as a new member as activation requires you using ID and stuff.

        • I’ll know when the new Amaysim sim arrives. It should activate just fine with the same details (but new email).

  • +1

    was hoping shopback would get a 6 month deal after cashrewards deal expired guess this will have to do for now , just have to port out your existing number to a carrier that does not use Optus network if your wanting redeem the voucher with existing number already on amaysim, my plan is just go get $2 telstra sim, port number out from amaysim , then once on telstra redeem the voucher and wait for new sim from amaysim

    • Need a different email to setup a new account?

  • man, I just bought this morning. Can I get a refund?

  • T and C for activatijg the 4 vouchers by a certain date?

  • How much does this plan revert to after these vouchers are used?

    • $20 per month for 2.5GB. Can downgrade to 1GB for $10.

      • Thanks! Much cheaper doing this than going directly with Optus

  • does anyone know whehter Catch mobile use optus network? I am thinking of porting my existing to catch and then go back to amaysim….

    • Yep uses Optus

      • so does that mean it won't work if I want to port back to amaysim? what about kogan?

        • No idea. I need to change my dads service from Optus and this looked a lot cheaper but if there’s a chance it won’t work I don’t want to try.

          Kogan uses Vodafone

    LOL for SB50

  • How to disable any auto pay in future?

    • form your account.

  • i just bought one, but they didn;t ask me for any postage address? not sure how it does work?

    • You should receive a voucher from Groupon. Now go to amaysim and order this SIM plan, then use this voucher for payment instead of CC/PayPal.

      • thanks, i am in process now, one question, do i need to upload id document for activation purpose, if i choose to keep my old number, or just purchase new number

        • Shouldn't need to upload anything for ID check. Just need to enter details from one of: driver's license, Medicare card, etc.

  • Damn I didn't read carefully and bought too quick. Saw 4 renewals and thought it was 4 recharges.

    • what is the difference?
      at the end, you will end up with 4x 28days of usage.

      • This is only for new customers. I just activated my number with amaysim this morning from the previous deal.

  • For those who are existing amaysim customers doing the port out and back in thing and wanting to keep number. Can I just clarify did you port out before doing the groupon redemption in order to get your new sim card sent out? Or can you redeem and choose keep no. And just put in the network you're going to port to even though you haven't yet?

    Wanting to know if I can still use my number on my existing amaysim plan until the sim card arrives. Or whether I will be in mobile limbo land on another network with no credit until my new amaysim sim arrives.

    Thanks!

    • +2

      You need to port out before redeeming the voucher.

      amaysim won't allow you to make an order (i.e. redeem groupon voucher) with option to use existing number if that number is already active in their system.

      Probably the best option if you don't want to be in limbo land is to purchase this deal, port your number to another network, redeem groupon voucher at amaysim, buy a $2 amaysim sim at Coles/Woolies, then go on amaysim live chat and ask them to activate the service on that sim instead of the one arriving in the post.

      • Thank you! I was hoping I could do that live chat thing but wasn't sure. My plan b was to buy an aldi $5 sim that comes preloaded and then use it until the 24th.. but then that kind of defeated the purpose of the half price groupon deal. Plan C was limbo land..

        Will give it a try. :)

  • Thanks OP, good deal/ great post - need one for my daughter's phone, coming off Catch Connect 3 months prepaid.
    Is there any issue porting from Catch Connect to Amaysim that people are aware of?
    Cheers.

  • The Groupon amaysim deal and SB50 promo code expire 10 Jan midnight, not today 9 Jan.

  • Should note that auto top up or whatever it is called cannot be disabled now, and the telephone rep said that was part of the T&Cs of the groupon code.

    • I think they are trying to make it idiot-proof because auto-renew should not be disabled until after the 4th renewal.

    • According to the Groupon deal page:

      "Note that amaysim mobile plan services auto-renew on a 28-day basis. After the Groupon promo code finishes (4 x 28 days renewals), the normal prices will apply: $20 for Unlimited 2.5GB per 28 days; if you do not wish to continue your amaysim service it must be cancelled according to the instructions outlined at the website"

      and the link goes here:

      https://www.amaysim.com.au/help/mobile/manage-account/cancel…

      "Suspending your SIM plan

      If you're looking to put a temporary stop to your SIM plan, you can switch auto-renew off for your existing plan through Manage Plan in My amaysim or the amaysim app.

      Once auto-renew has been switched off it means your plan will not renew for a new period once your existing plan has expired. You'll then be switched to AS YOU GO and would only be charged if you continued to use your service after your existing plan had expired."

      You should also change your payment method to "BPAY / Vouchers" as well.

    Does anyone know if I already have a sim card if I can use that or do I actually need to buy the package from scratch and wait for the sim card to arrive? Thanks

    • +1 just about to ask this myself, as I have a spare Sim lying around and wanted to port across before my current Kogan plan expires tomorrow.

    • Redeem the voucher and complete your amaysim order then go on live chat and ask them to activate the service on the sim card in your possession instead of the one arriving in the post.

  • Do you get charged for data at rip off rates when you exceed 2.5G? This might be dangerous for kids/parents, better get the belong deals.

    • According to this page:

      https://www.amaysim.com.au/help/mobile/plans-and-network/wha…

      Are you Prepaid?

      "The UNLIMITED 1GB and UNLIMITED 2.5GB plans will not be switched to the casual data rate if you run out of data. In these instances you'll need to wait until your plan has renewed, or add a data top-up in order to continue using data."

  • Hi folks, need some advice here. I bought one (thanks OP) for my daughter, but when I tried to apply the groupon code on Amaysim site, it says code is invalid. Is it something to do with an existing Amaysim account I already have (bought in Dec 2018 when it was $9.95 for the 4x28days 2.5gb deal) for my son?
    With the kids accounts I have to register under my name and DOB so does Groupon and Amaysim don't allow two accounts (different phone numbers) for this deal?
    Cheers.

    • +1

      When you sign up for Amaysim in order to be a new customer, you will need to use a different email address to the one you used to sign up in Dec 2018. If you have a gmail account then this is very easy to do (see here: https://gmail.googleblog.com/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-mo…). All of your other details (DOB, addresss, name) can remain the same.

      • Thanks @Rodo for the tip, got thru with Amaysim, now just waiting for SIM to arrive to try activate (hopefully not too painful going from Catch Connect to Amaysim - both Optus :( )

        • Generally going Optus to Optus is not recommended as it can take a few days for the transfer (which is much longer than going from one carrier to another). But I read on Ozbargain recently that for a few people it only took them a few hours for this transfer so YMMV.

          This morning I transferred from Amaysim (Optus) to Kogan (Vodafone) and it took less than 12 minutes to go through. I couldn't believe how fast it was!

  • OK, so if I bought 2 lots of this item does it mean I can use the 2nd code AFTER the 1st 4 renewal has been used up?

    Or will the 2nd code be expired by the time I get around to using it?

    • +1

      The 2nd code will be expired by the time you get around to using it.

  • Im not sure if I'm going to port over, or start with a new number. What way will get the sim to me un-activated?

  • Bought this for the grandparents. Big warning though. After you buy the voucher from Groupon you CAN NOT choose to top up the account with vouchers you buy in store (eg supermarkets) . The system comes up with an error blocking you from doing this. You have to give amaysim your credit card or Paypal details. Seems like they do this so they can auto recharge your account. Really annoying cos the oldies would prefer to just get a voucher in store when they shop and not go online.

    • +1

      once you sign-up, just remove the credit card / paypal details and change back to recharge voucher option

  • Thanks for purchasing a Groupon for the amaysim deal. We can't wait for you to enjoy this amazing experience but before you do, we have an important update to bring you.

    To allow you more time to to redeem your voucher and to ensure that you don't miss out, the merchant has kindly extended the redemption date of your voucher until 17 Jan 2019 and the activation is until 28 Jan 2019.
