UPDATE: Optus chat have advised me that this plan is only available for eligible customers who want to get an additional service. $10 port in discount not applicable, but HN discount can be had.

Not often do I endorse or post any Apple deals, but this seems to be a great price for the inclusions.

No International calls included in this plan.

Similar to this post, but handset fees are lower.

24 month contract.

  • Iphone XR 64GB - $69 + $10 = $79 | After HN discount = $72.1/Month

  • Iphone XR 128GB - $69 + $15 = $84 | After HN discount = $77.1/Month

  • Iphone XR 256GB - $69 + $25 = $94 | After HN discount = $87.1/Month

Harvey Norman 10% discount is only applicable for new services and applies only to the plan fees making it $62.10 plus the handset fees.

10% student discount MAY be added by contacting Optus provided you have a .edu email address - There are couple of posts where users have mentioned that Optus has removed this offer.

Offer expires March 31, 2019.

NOTE: Page defaults to Lease Option & Iphone XS. You would need to change models and choose the "Own" option for the correct prices to reflect.

      port out to a voda sim then sign up few days later

    • Heybargain on 14/02/2019 - 22:44

      No new services only
      But you can cancel your existing sim only plan, port out or change to prepaid and sign up for this deal.
      Shame Optus aren’t willing to budge on this for existing customers.

    • giles on 15/02/2019 - 06:07

      Actually, it looks like you must be an existing customer, and buy this a new additional service on the same account — on top of the first service.

      Available to Optus Postpaid mobile customers who add a new service to their account.

      And from the ‘Eligibility’ clause in the CIS:

      this plan is only available to existing Postpaid Mobile customers signing up a new service with selected handsets.

      In other words, after buying this, you will end up with at least 2 services on your account.

      • Heybargain on 15/02/2019 - 07:32

        I was offered the xr option posted by their disconnections service. Only way to do it was to cancel my existing byo sim only plan, transfer to prepaid and then sign back up again.

          Yeah indeed, the older folks are not always that engaged with the internet. My parents overseas (both approaching their seventies) have a 500 Mbit/sec symmetric fibre-to-the-home connection, but it takes them 4 days to reply to a Whatsapp. They always answer the landline though. Talk about overkill.

        • Mitch889 on 15/02/2019 - 14:22

          4GB per month is more than enough to include some phone calls each much.

      • MrTweek on 15/02/2019 - 09:22

      It isn’t lease? Definitely own the phone with the $10 a month repayment. Lease is + $0. Also includes unmetered Netflix again which I believe costs extra on other plans.

    Quick question, if it's a lease, what happens if you keep it for 24 months? Do you return it or you get to keep it?

    • sicaboy on 14/02/2019 - 23:24

      For the leasing plans, you have to return the device. For owning plans you can keep the device

      Lease contract
      You lease a mobile handset from us for at least 24 and no more
      than 26 months to use with your My Plan Flex plan…..

      If you fail to return the handset within
      14 days of being required to do so, you must pay a non-return
      fee based on the fair market value of the handset (to be
      advised at the time).

  • dantione on 14/02/2019 - 23:29

    Apologies! You will notice the XS lease price is also the same. Ensure you change the spec to XR under the Own tab. It is very confusing with the new iPhone naming schematic. Sorry again

          It's because you can't bend LCD. I personally find the symmetry of the borders (excluding notch) to be fine. Red XR, I'm my view, is the best looking.

          You still get the insanely good CPU and excellent battery due to the low res screen.

          There were talks that the single shooter performs better than the dual sensor of the XS and XS Max

              Those are curved, not bent. Dunno the engineering behind it, but those TVs aren't bent to the degree the iPhone (Samsung supplied) OLED Panel is.

              There are actual pixels sitting below the screen that you can't see and then the display drivers are connected the motherboard. This cannot be done with an LCD panel.

                      The XR has thick bezels because of the LCD panel. I suspect the thick bezels are a design choice to take you to the XS if you don't like them.

    “Optus customers deserve the best”. But they won’t let existing customers update an existing plan to this deal, it has to be an additional service added onto the account. Just like all of the descent Optus deals.

    This is a variant to the iPhone X deal they have/had. iPhone X with 30Gb for $79 a month 24 months. This time you get the extra 70Gb data but an inferior phone.

    If you need the extra data this is a better deal. Otherwise get the iPhone X for higher resell value.

          I got a similar situation - ported out my only optus number 1 month ago, so now no existing optus number but have an account. I want a IPXR 128G plan.

          updates:

          24/02
          went to Harvey Norman. was told need to provide an optus number. I provided my account number instead. the sale rep was not sure about it so called Optus but waited a long time to get a support rep. I just went away

          24/02
          went to Optus shop. my mate works there so asked him straight away. he couldn't find my service in the system so couldn't select this plan for me.

          25/02
          Logged on Optus website with my email, navigated to this deal, ordered the plan. it turned out to be a temporary order.

          26/02
          No phone call to me, the order was approved and sent out.

    I had an interesting experience with this.

    1) Friday around 1:30pm I opened a chat window to see if I could use this to upgrade my existing plan with their $99 option. Guy on the chat told me no way.

    2) I called later when I had some time to see if I can 'talk' an option. It worked, I was told by the Customer Services Department that I could get this deal and they were adding notes to my system to give me the deal.

    3) Today I turn up in store and get sent away, sorry the notes just say you are eligible for the upgrade but not with that plan. I walked out and called the Customer Services Department, I got on the phone with this lovely women this time. She listened back to the call from the day before, then came back saying I am sorry yesterday you were given the wrong information.

    Though before I could question it she said I will issue you a 20% deal on your monthly plan, unfortunately, though there is no 100GB plan. So they put me on a plan $105 a month, with a $10 device cost for the iPhone XS 256GB, bringing the total to $115. Of course, this was above the $94 it would have been.

    At this point, they issue a 20% discount, bringing it down to $93 dollars a month. Nice.

    Though here is the kicker, they also kept my Uni Student deal (part time study) on there, making it a 30% discount. In the end I am on the following plan.

    iPhone XS 256GB
    200GB Data
    Unlimited Talk and Text
    Unlimited International Talk and Text
    2GB International Data
    Stan, Netflix, ABC etc data free

    For a grand total of $80.50 a month.

    I feel I won today!

    • CoronavirusVaccine on 07/03/2019 - 08:05

      correct if you wanted to keep your phone number. The alternative is to port out and then do a port-in back into Optus.

  • b4rg on 10/03/2019 - 16:51

    I spoke to a HN the other week and they said we could sign up a second service - I am off contract with virgin mobile, and that I could sign up to someone else's account as a second service and keep my number and get the 10% off.

    I went to that HN today and they refused to do so (different worker) as I had forgot the name of the worker that I spoke to on the phone originally. I now know it as I found the paper I wrote it down on. He said I can't keep my number - I have to get a new number to do so - I told him I am not an existing optus customer but with virgin so it is 'new' and the other worker told me it was ok but he refused to budge.

    He also said the 10% off is only valid for virgin mobile customers who change over to a normal plan, not for anyone who signs up at HN!

    Now I don't know what to do in order to keep my number and get the 10% off. Any suggestions please?

    Thanks.
