Was looking into changing the plan now that my old contract is over and came across this.

Includes:-
- Unlimited Standard National Talk & Text
- Unlimited Standard International Talk & Text to 35 countries
- 50GB Data
- Data free streaming for Spotify, Google Play and iHeartRADIO

Offer ends 31/03/19.

While some plans include unmetered Mobile TV streaming (includes Netflix, Stan, ABC KIDS iview, ABC ME, ABC iview) as well, looks like these two plans don't and you need to pay $5/month extra for that.

Also, if you're a student (or maybe have access to a .edu email address), the $55 plan is 25% off for you, bringing it down to $41.25/month and it comes with unmetered Mobile TV streaming for free. That offer expires on the 22nd of March and says that it's for new services only.

    Yeah, I already mentioned that in the last paragraph.

    Should've made it bold or something, my bad.

    I am on 22 gigs Optus plan, and hardly use more than 4 gigs a month.

    I guess it doesn't make much difference if data is 20 gigs or 80 gigs if you have WiFi at home and work.

    Unless you are streaming 4k while on work commute ( shit network coverage for 4k on train lines) , I think data for 20 or 80 gb wouldn't make any difference.

      yep, i’m on 80gb plan rarely get past 30gbexct except when on holidays. I download my movies at home and watch on the train as train has poor mobile coverage when it pulls into stations on my line.

      nice thing about big data plan is never worry about the $10 per gb auto topup.

        I have the 80gb for $41 offer they had in Jan for everyone.
        Most useful as you can add additional 3gb lines for only $15. We now share 83gb for $56 plus I have unlimited international calls.

    and depends whether you need Int'l calls, SMS etc. This incl none where as Boost has unliminited to 25 countries which is a big plus for some (but not all).

      Kogan uses Vodafone though, not really known for the best coverage.

  Not a student, so on principal I'm refusing to buy any plan that have 1 price for students and 1 for the rest. Make me feel like I'm subsidising for those students.

    I more see it as Optus have chosen not to make as much profit from students which is fair enough (in my opinion only). No different than Microsoft or many other companies giving Student prices etc.

    Given that every network in Australia (Telstra, Optus and Vodafone) all offer student discounts - I guess you should stop using a mobile service.

      I mean, technically you are. They still get a cut of it, to say the least.

      What carrier are you on anyway?

  Be aware Optus is now often enforcing the time period on discounts. In the past when 12 months is up plans used to just roll into the same month to month terms. Now you'll possibly see the 25% discount removed then. Just check in 12 months and be ready to move of needed

    Kanjus on 09/03/2019 - 08:14

    Appears as 24 month discount on your bill

  I am not a student — I got offered the $41.25 80GB (the $55 Sim Only Plan with a 25% discount) through Optus Chat. Rep said the deal is only available through Optus Chat (?). Very tempted to sign up.
