    I miss the days when Optus offered an 80gb plan for $40 which included 5gb of international roaming data….

    • shinig3mi on 02/12/2020 - 11:52

      It's even worth to stay on after the plan reverts to $50 per month when that promotion is over.

    • nezumi on 02/12/2020 - 11:55

      Agreed - I'm still on a $41.25 / month for 80Gb offer, which just got extended to Nov 2021.

      • pork chop on 02/12/2020 - 11:59

        Optus has removed international talk & text and no international roaming on these new plans.

      that plan came with unlimited spotify streaming and i think netflix streaming. bloody shattered that i didnt upgrade to that.

      • Flyerone on 03/12/2020 - 14:03

        They ditched spotify and turned it into apple music even for existing customers.

          I’ve been on the $40 for 80GB for almost two years now and it’s still free steaming for Spotify and google play music. No Apple Music in sight.

        • zyx123 on 03/12/2020 - 16:19

          i've been on a 15gb plan for the past 3 or 4 yrs. still have free netflix and spotify streaming. only reasons im still on 15gb plans

    • [Deactivated] on 02/12/2020 - 13:07

      I have this plan, and somehow got Optus to upgrade the data to 100gb/month. Got a 10gb sim plan to data share so my laptop has internet access without tether, comes to ~52 dollars/month for 110gb plus all the roaming inclusions etc. Incredible value!

    • mi3rebus on 02/12/2020 - 13:28

      I'm still currently holding that deal but with 4gb roaming

      CID 16026095 for the win

    • you know who on 02/12/2020 - 16:18

      I am on one of those plans. I had signed up for a 12 month $45 plan with 80gig data-free Netflix, Spotify stream, Optus sports, etc. I added a 2nd sim for $15 with 3 gigs of data. After student discounts, now i pay $52 monthly for 2 sims with 83 gigs of data.

      I don't think I will be able to get a better deal today with any other provider.

    • zzzman on 02/12/2020 - 19:07

      I’m still on this plan at $40 for 80GB and 4GB roaming data (not like we’re going to be travelling much any time soon).

      It’s still the best plan out there even with these discounts and flybuy offers.

      Their eSIM is also super easy to use and transfer between phones.

    • Flattop on 02/12/2020 - 19:17

    With JB HiFi/GoodGuys offering $500 gift card which you can sell pretty easily for $450 for their $59 per month 80gb plan for 12 months it's hard to see this as a good deal anymore. C'mon Optus Telstra got you beat on network coverage but you always had them beat on value. Let's see some real 'ozbargain' offers on 12 month plans

  • Osiris on 02/12/2020 - 11:39

    That's good timing was about to leave optus those rates are actually competitive

    • bfg100k on 02/12/2020 - 12:13

      Offer for new service only. I'm thinking of porting out and back in as a workaround and the cheapest way I've found will cost $13 ($8 port out fee from Optus and $5 amaysim pre-paid sim pack).

      • Osiris on 02/12/2020 - 13:38

        Oh bugger guess I'll still have to leave them. Do they still have a retentions team maybe they'll come up with a deal like last time.

    • 20GB Data, 25% Off Price $26.25 (Old Price $35.00), with 1,000 Flybuys Points

    1000 FBs = $5 so total cost over 12 months = $310 and 240GB

    Probably rather spend somewhere between $245, $250 or $270 for 300GB with Boost and access the full Telstra network…$300 full price…

    I was on this plan with Optus for 2 years and recently switched to Telstra on $44/80gig per month. Network coverage and speeds are amazing! Never going back to Optus.

    • Clarky77 on 02/12/2020 - 14:00
      +3

      I'm very similar I switched to Telstra on $59 plan but I got a $500 JB HiFi gift card and sold it in classifieds here for $460 so I've now got 12 months Telstra 5g 80gb (technically unlimited because once days is used you are speed limited to 1.5mbps) $59*12=$708 - $460 is $248 so tiny bit over $20 per month. If you don't need international calls I think it's a great option. It pops up pretty regularly.
      BTW for me Telstra coverage indoors is way better in inner west Melbourne and very similar to Optus outdoors but I don't have a 5g device

  • Mintee on 02/12/2020 - 12:57

    Im on a $35 BYO plan for 30GB of data each month. The big thing for me is Spotify doesn't count towards my data usage I feel for this reason alone I shouldn't jump plans :S Optus doesnt seem to offer this anymore?

    • HecticCrunt on 02/12/2020 - 13:05

      Bro Spotify uses like no data. Almost zero if you download your most listened songs. I would not stay on your plan for solely this reason.

      • Mintee on 02/12/2020 - 17:30
        +1

        I'm not on Spotify premium so don't download; on my 'data breakdown' Spotify uses always >10% of my data allowance, so that's 3gb at a minimum and I'm not even going to work at the moment :S

    • phamaroo on 03/12/2020 - 16:19

      I've been on this plan as well for the past 3 years or more. As much as I'd like to lower my monthly spend, there haven't been any other offerings as good as this (with any provider) to justify a change, especially with the free Spotify that I rely on. Looks like that won't be changing any time soon, either.

  • SnoopX on 02/12/2020 - 12:59

  • Jasssss on 02/12/2020 - 13:10

    How this can be a good deal? When over data limits will charge $10/GB, maybe only suitable for someone using small data/month. Read the fine print Carefully before join it.

  • a1b2c3e4f52002 on 02/12/2020 - 13:14

    • IJustKnowStuff on 03/12/2020 - 10:02

      "We use parts of the Telstra 3G and 4G network to deliver ALDImobile coverage to over 23 million Australians." That doesn't sound great. I think I remember my mum being on Aldi and she had terrible service.

  • Oz em on 02/12/2020 - 21:59

    I asked for the 80gb plan for $40 last year and they agreed. This year when it ended I asked for it again and they gave it to me again. No bonus fly buys though.

      • Oz em on 03/12/2020 - 14:40

      • Osiris on 03/12/2020 - 15:54

        Yeah! They did this to me recently too kind of ticked me off as no notification / update either just here's a bill for more $$$ you figure out why.

  • syswong on 03/12/2020 - 13:36

    Optus has not been competitive for a long time. Ironically they also become sort of the fastest network at the moment, at least that is the case in Sydney CBD where Telstra is just not happening. I have a nighthawk, at peak time I get about 20 down 5 up max with the Telstra sim, swap my Optus sim I am constantly hitting hitting 50 down and 20 up. its a shame that out that Optus sim back into my P30 and you are seeing at least a 30% drop in performance.

    In terms of customer services Telstra still edge out a bit but not as good as before. Optus is still garbage with customer services unless you are on the Optus One plan.

    Vodafone is a dark horse here. with its new plan it is very good value especially the $55 one with user reporting the 10mps sharp is still very useable.

    As for this deal, you are better off getting the Optus One deal and add what ever accounts needed in the pool. You can then cancel your NBN. That way you actually saving real money and not tide down to a contract with some sting flybuy point offer.

  • hubertlam on 05/12/2020 - 21:45

    Wasn't eligible for this since I'm a current customer, but did try to haggle a little with Optus' Retention Team.

    Got the $149 Family Plan (250GB shared amongst four SIMs) discounted by 20%, taking it to around $120 per month only.

  • itsmehuey on 10/12/2020 - 12:16

    considering this deal.. currently on Telstra $65 (80GB) sim only plan and contract ended 2 months ago.. i see no deals for existing customers w/ Telstra so this seems like a good deal to jump on.

    How is the Optus network nowadays in terms of coverage and performance? (I'm in Melbourne metro). I haven't been on the Optus network for about 7 years now.

    Also how does international roaming work? I think both Vodafone and Telstra have a daily cost for daily roaming.

    • syswong on 12/12/2020 - 09:56

      If you are already spending $65 a month, why not just get the Optus One plan. 500G data. Get a data sim for $15 (possibly $12 according to some OZBs) and put the data sim in an old phone to use as a router at home. All up $80 and you can kiss your NBN goodbye!!

      As for signal, if your are in metro it seems Optus is doing very well now. I can say that is sure the case in Sydney in Sydney. From what is reported no WP, the same for Melbourne. The best part of the Optus One (and the data pan) is month by month. Doesn't work for you? Leave and jump one one of those JB HiFI deals.

      The Flybuys plans this round is really garbage, small amount of points and contract binding. Dont fall for it.

      • itsmehuey on 12/12/2020 - 19:43

        using a phone as a WIFI router is not very efficient.. streaming data to a smart tv, 3 laptops, 2 ipads and 3 mobile phones, that puts HUGE strain on the mobile itself. Mobile phones were not meant to be used as an access point of that capacity.

        • syswong on 13/12/2020 - 07:12

          I have laptops, tablets, switch….. no less than 5 devices connected at one time and has been working for me for years.

          You can always buys a third party or second hand modem to house the data sim.

    • ballistykx on 12/12/2020 - 14:35

Already tried talking to online chat which was no help; they thought I didn’t know how to fill the form and was instructing me on how to do so… 😐 after that they just gave me the sales team phone number.

      Hi
      You at 11:58, Jan 23:
      I'm trying to connect to the Flybuy 25% off per month offer but I am unable to port my number across. The number was originally Optus but I have ported to Belong Services over a month ago.
      You at 11:58, Jan 23:
      I am getting the following error:
      You at 11:58, Jan 23:
      We are unable to transfer your number xxxxxx.

      This offer is not available for existing mobile number upgrades.

      You can either:

      Request a new number for additional service
      Use a number with a different service provider
      You at 11:59, Jan 23:
      It appears Optus is still retaining my number somewhere in the system, disallowing me to port back in as a new service
      Samuel at 11:59, Jan 23:

      Hi Delos!
      You at 11:59, Jan 23:
      Is there a way to deregister my number or remove/unlock my number so that I can port back into Optus?
      You at 12:01, Jan 23:
      Account Number: xxxxx
      Samuel at 12:01, Jan 23:

      Just to confirm that you're looking to reestablish the service ?
      You at 12:01, Jan 23:
      No, I want to port back in as a new service
      Samuel at 12:02, Jan 23:

      May I know the reason for port out ?
      You at 12:03, Jan 23:
      It was too expensive at the time
      You at 12:04, Jan 23:
      I have since discovered this offer and I would like to port back into Optus
      You at 12:05, Jan 23:
      I think the issue is that somewhere in the system, it's still retaining my number so I am unable to port back in as a new service…
      You at 12:06, Jan 23:
      I consulted a forum, someone was able to do this a week after they ported out, yet I've ported out a little more than a month ago and I am unable to… :(
      Samuel at 12:07, Jan 23:

      We can reestablish the services and we are unable to port in the service number since you were Optus customer.
      You at 12:08, Jan 23:
      I don't want to reestablish my service, I want to port back in as a new service
      Samuel at 12:11, Jan 23:

      I'm sorry to inform you that the service number xxxx unable to port in due to the service number was active with Optus.

      Port process will take place with different provider .
      You at 12:12, Jan 23:
      Yes it is with a different provider, I am with Belong mobile. I am trying to port back into Optus with that number as a new service.
      You at 12:12, Jan 23:
      Typically, I would be able to do this as a new service.
      You at 12:13, Jan 23:
      However, because of something in the service, the number is still registered as Optus
      Samuel at 12:15, Jan 23:

      Just to inform you that once the service active we can reestablish the service with the same number and we are not able to port in due to service was active with Optus.

      You can avail new service number with Optus.
      You at 12:18, Jan 23:
      I don't want to reestablish the service
      You at 12:18, Jan 23:
      I want a new service with that number
      You at 12:20, Jan 23:
      I don't want the pre-existing service to be active and reestablish. I want to be able to use that number to port back into Optus as a new service

      Ahhhh so frustrating, he transferred me to sales after that….
