$180 online price, but you get a $60 discount if you buy in-store making it $120, according to the radio ad I heard this morning. Excellent value for unlimited calls and texts with 60GB data over 365 days. Ad also says activate SIM within 30 days. Should also be eligible for Optus Perks.

    Perfect for me because my kogan plan expires next month. Kogan small 365 plan is currently $152 for 3Gb data/month, this deal beats it. Hopefully more and more providers begin to offer annual plans so we get better deals as consumers. Got mine from Mirrabooka WA if anyone is asking.

  • nignucial on 26/01/2019 - 00:07

    Good deal but I need unlimited international calls… so nah

  • revivor on 26/01/2019 - 06:29

    Well if Kogan can't come up with a better deal, then I'm porting to Optus for the next 12mths. Kogan if you're listening!

      Kogan has been slipping BADLY lately.
      I had already decided to leave them

  • HeWhoKnows on 26/01/2019 - 07:35

    Great value indeed. Works out on average at $10 per month for 5GB data and unlimited calls. Im in!

  • Micko179 on 26/01/2019 - 09:06

    I went to several optus around Brisbane's South yesterday, WOFTAM! from not being able to call a shop directly to being scoffed at because nobody has stock! Anyone had success in Brizzy?

    Went to the store today but the guy activated my SIM card straight away and I said no no, I though the activation date is within 30 days of purchase. He then said you have to get it activated straight away when you purchase this in store. This deal is running until 31 March 2019, so come back anytime to the store when you’re ready to get it.

    So to simplify things into a nutshell….

    This is a promotion for the "Optus $180 / 60GB SIM Starter kit"

    To make matters simple for everyone just ask for the "Optus $180 / 60GB SIM Starter kit" when you go into the local Optus store.

    Dont worry as it will scan for $120 with 365 days expiry.

    See details here:
    https://offer.optus.com.au/shop/prepaid/sim-card/180-sim?SID=con:prep:exp:2:jan19:prep:$180sim:12months

    This kit originally had 6 months expiry but has recently changed to 365 days expiry as is shown on the provided link.

    The price is discounted by $60 from $180 to $120 until 31 March 2019

    • apokalypsez on 26/01/2019 - 13:25

      "To make matters simple for everyone just ask for the "Optus $180 / 60GB SIM Starter kit" when you go into the local Optus store."

      some guy in here claims got wrong pack for data sims…

      • HeWhoKnows on 26/01/2019 - 13:34

        Store/staff issue.
        Can't be helped

        There is only 1 Optus $180 / 60GB SIM Starter kit as shown on thier web site here:
        https://offer.optus.com.au/shop/prepaid/sim-card/180-sim?SID=con:prep:exp:2:jan19:prep:$180sim:12months

        NOTE: Up to 50GB of unused data can be rolled over upon prompt renewal (before expiry)

    Walked into an Optus Store yesterday and they advised that the deal has ended due to unprecedented sign ups. He is not sure whether it will return. Please advise if you were able to avail yourself this deal.

  • dsj1188 on 27/01/2019 - 09:00

    Went back to Optus Strathfield Plaza to get my SIM card changed to the epic value instead ofthe data only which they incorrectly gave me and they told me the promotion has not started and will only start in 2 to 3 weeks and will call me. What a bunch of morons. So stuck with a $20 data plan when I paid $120.

    Possible to start a tally/table on where we have managed to find stock? Will save ozb-ers (runaround) and various Optus (same question via phone or in-store, mostly ozb-ers) shops from headaches.

  • AdrianW on 27/01/2019 - 16:10

    Ocean Keys, Clarkson had a bunch of the empty cards hanging up showing 6 months for $180 with "now $120" on them (and 365 days on the back) - but no actual stock!

  • jes on 27/01/2019 - 21:02

    Does that mean we have to control ourselves if 60GB supposed to be for the entire year?

    • AdrianW on 27/01/2019 - 21:15

      Well, yes. I had 42GB for the year on last year's Coles deal. Still have around 20GB left and only about 4 week to go until it expires. Pity that plan doesn't roll over.

      Just avoid streaming video and 60GB should be plenty.

  • Associatedsimonchen @ Optus Accessories on 28/01/2019 - 00:55

    i went to many places today, no one has stock or never seen this product. I asked them, can I buy a $2 and buy a $180 recharge credit but only pay $120…no. Can I buy it online or order…no. so what should I do if I want to buy it… keep looking!!
    I think it is another bait advertising from Optus. Just want to ask how can I stop a company do this again?

  • soupiejr on 28/01/2019 - 01:59

    How can I use these with my current number that's with Optus? The guy at the shop I went to said I can't port my number to it since it's a Starter Pack?

  • JBWA on 28/01/2019 - 17:34

    I just managed to pick one up at Whitfords store.
    I went to Midland Gate but sold out. So sat down and rang all stores till I found stock. Don’t think they have many left. Hopefully worth the 40 minute drive! Just waiting for it to port over now from Amaysim. She did ask ‘6 months’ and I said no, 12! She said the two plans were available.

    • deltakilo on 28/01/2019 - 18:26

      Don't get too excited for a today port - public holiday. :)

        • deltakilo on 28/01/2019 - 22:42

          I was hopping over from Telstra as well. The 3hr time diff maybe? Has pretty much always been within 30min with my other ports done on regular work days.
          It's done now so that's the main thing.

  • cre8ive on 28/01/2019 - 19:41

  • Donatello on 28/01/2019 - 23:11

    I showed this (post & deal) to my cousin and he was interested for his family. Funnily enough, he seemed more confused because of the comments (LOL) and I just told him to get the "Optus $180 / 60GB SIM Starter kit" from an Optus store.

    It's basically hit or miss if the (franchised) Optus store has the sim card in stock or not?

    Judging from the comments, it seems Optus store staff have no idea of this deal and/or giving customers the run around.

    First time I've been glad I'm in a regional town for a deal 😀

    BTW - who on earth negged this deal? Even if you don't like Optus, it's a great bargain.

      At this rate of competition other telcos/resellers will catch up and match or beat this deal one would think it would be $120 or less in a year's time.

      Let's see how it pans out, worst case it will be back to $180.

    All this out-of-stock business is ridiculous.
    Optus are even advertising on the radio for this one.
    How on earth do you run out of SIM cards so quickly when you are running a promotion for over 2 months?

    • Wardaddy on 30/01/2019 - 10:41

      Because they completely underestimated the size of the savvy market. They think everyone just signs up to a dumb contract including a phone. And indeed, most do.

    Out of stock again at Chadstone, Vic!! Seems they got restocked a day or two ago but all fine again. That's two failed attempts to get these for my kids. Ah well….Kogan might have a BOGOF before in able to get the Pptus sims which would be a better deal on the Kogan medium plan plus a better network in my area in Malvern East.

  • whats up skip on 30/01/2019 - 11:49

    The Optus store at The Pines Elanora QLD didn't seem to have any starter packs at all. They only seemed to have the $2 sim cards.

    • deltakilo on 30/01/2019 - 17:40

      Port out and then back in? Yeah, like I did, get another non Optus partner $2 starter sim and port over to them. Wait a day then go back to Optus shop for this deal.

      • AdrianW on 30/01/2019 - 17:48

        That's where the free Telstra SIM comes in.

      • jenkem on 31/01/2019 - 19:42

        What sim did you go for? and di you have to pay a porting fee either way?

    I got one from the Optus store in Melbourne Central.

    Porting over from catch connect was painful.

    Initiated at 1230.
    Lost coverage at 0900 the next day.

    Activating card was also painful.
    Activated at 1000.
    Still hadn't happened at 1500.

    Had to call up and then it happened 20 minutes later.

  • Delphinus on 30/01/2019 - 16:58

    Got one at Parramatta Westfield (NSW). Guy said it was 1 per customer, and was very insistent on activating it in-store. Had to reassure him I knew what to do online. Also was told that it would only work on non-optus/non-optus reseller numbers porting in.

    • roofyapple on 30/01/2019 - 17:25
