    Just a thought, wouldn't Number Share ($5/month) make more sense if you have an existing post paid plan?

    • stebe on 28/06/2022 - 20:44

      Think you can only get number share for wearable devices (compatible Apple Watches or Samsung Galaxy Watches) these days, unless you have a legacy/grandfathered $5/mth physical sim plan they used to offer where you can use in tablets or 4G devices to use your pooled data.

        Sorry, should have qualified that by saying "if you have a watch"….obviously for tablets 10GB allowances makes more sense, just not for a watch!

      • 1Kenobi on 28/06/2022 - 21:57

        Where does it say on post paid only?

    • b3au on 29/06/2022 - 10:56

      Optus Choice Plus Watch Plan is usually $10, this promo brings it down to $5/month for 12 months, with an extra 1GB in your data pool.

      Vs $5/month on it's own for Number Share with no extra data.

      Haha i work at Optus. The deal was abused so badly that you can't get device discounts on any plan that isnt 24 or 36 months. People got the A8 over 12 months and just sold it for a profit. It was pretty crazy. Can't even get phones over 12 months with a discount anymore :p

  • Petsa on 28/06/2022 - 21:24

    In the terms it states - "Discount will apply from second payment cycle."
    I see that as meaning Full price first month then discount for 12 months after. Hopefully they don't stop applying the discount after 12 months of joining meaning you only get 11 months discounted.

    • shegeloaf on 28/06/2022 - 21:34

      Reverts to standard price after 12 months

  • shegeloaf on 28/06/2022 - 21:43

    • Plentiful3271 on 28/06/2022 - 22:41

      Don't think so… just signed up. Have a $0.01 hold on my CC, no hit on the credit report under credit enquiries.. unless there is a lag in reporting.

    • Jamiea on 28/06/2022 - 22:12

      Don't see why not. You could either stick the SIM in a device and hotspot or put it in a 4G router.

      Yes! Although don't try it with phone plan sims.

      Had someone trying to use the 500gb $65 a month phone sim in a modem, it worked for a while before they got messages saying that the sim in their modem was incorrect and needed to be changed, which was appearing anytime they tried to use their browser.

  • trishmapow on 28/06/2022 - 22:52

    If they had 400GB for ~40 that'd be a solid NBN competitor

    • USER DC on 29/06/2022 - 01:02

      Vodafone had this kinda deal a while ago in November - December 2021. Still going decent ( just not as good speeds as optus 5G)

  • drongodave on 28/06/2022 - 22:53

    Good way of getting discounted Optus Sports.
    Their upcoming price increase brings it up to $24.99 per month or $6.99 for Optus customers ( i.e. total of $14.49 if you select the cheapest plan in this offer).

    • sinners007 on 28/06/2022 - 23:34

      Or send them a clear message about their ridiculous price increase and look for an alternative.

      • fuzor on 28/06/2022 - 23:54

        Inflation is everywhere. This isn't just an optus problem. Our sanctions are still in place so nothing will improve. Are you going to boycott everything?

        • sinners007 on 29/06/2022 - 08:34
          +6

          It was $15p/m … now $25p/m … for a sport that mostly screens between 12am-5am. I'd say it has nothing to do with the inflation pressures that are putting your milk & bread up by 30 cents or any sanctions our country has imposed. It's a greedy cash grab by Optus.

  • castortroi on 29/06/2022 - 00:39

    While 50% off is always nice, is there any advantage to taking these options over a (cheaper) long expiry Amaysim plan, for instance?

    I'm asking specifically for tablet use.

    • avoidfullprice on 29/06/2022 - 00:40

      No excess data?

      • castortroi on 29/06/2022 - 00:42

        Hmmm as in with the optus option, your speed just get throttled after you hit the cap, right? As opposed to just no data with Amaysim, etc.

      • Plentiful3271 on 29/06/2022 - 22:56

    • b3au on 29/06/2022 - 10:52

      Don't think you can pool/share "Choice Plus" and "Plus" plans

      Optus Choice Plus, Optus Choice Plus Data, Optus Plus Family and Optus Plus Kids plans can only share data with each other. Check your CIS document or My Optus app to check your plan.

      • mrmc on 29/06/2022 - 12:24

        yeh it does appear that way, but livechat says it is a choice plus :/

        was anyone able to share the data with the samsung tablet deal before?

      • Associateddespavr @ Optus Accessories on 29/06/2022 - 15:25
        +2

        All Plus plans share with each other. Non plus plans share with non plus plans, Plus plans share with Plus plans.

        So if you're on an Optus choice plus sim plan for your phone, a connected watch plan plus for your smartwatch, and a choice plus data sim, all 3 of them will pool data together.

        Same goes for family, as there is a plus and non plus version.

        The only difference is that Plus is direct debited (from a debit/credit card).

  • branners on 29/06/2022 - 09:45

    So the cool deal for an solo OzBer with no need for speedy internet would be;
    Optus's 10GB deal x 2, connect 2 modems to a dual WAN router and you get 20GB of speedy 4G data, before it shapes to 3mbps of unlimited data (enough for emails, browsing and a single stream).
    So $7.50 x 2 x 12 months = $180 for the year – minus the $30 on CB. $150pa, $12.50pm.
    (Plus the cost of the modems and router if you did not already have them lying around).
    Would not work for me, but it may be a good fit for someone…

    • rooster on 29/06/2022 - 10:08

      can you share the dual wan router that enables (muxes) the two streams at once, I would assume it would be either one or the other in a dual sim router ?

      • branners on 29/06/2022 - 12:16

        There was a thread on here some time ago in which this was discussed, the Asus AC68 router was mentioned as one that does this

    Deal is only available online as I tried to call them . Apply online only.

    Was able to upgrade my exisiting $15 plan to the $7.50 one using the website, although the sales rep told me this isn't possible, they will ask you to cancel your exisiting $15 plan and purchase a new plan - LOL..

    • realaaa on 29/06/2022 - 19:29

      yes same, first someone calls from a dodgy number and asks for details - https://www.reverseaustralia.com/lookup/0280492850/3/ - but I guess it is Optus after all?

      after refusing that guy, and asking through their app - was told such plan doesn't exist first :)

      finally they admitted it does and advised to wait until the order gets processed - why call in the first place? telco stuff..

  • Bargein on 29/06/2022 - 12:38

    Dumb question, but do you have to sign up for 12 months. Or cancel any time, and the discount max is for 12 months?

    • ozwog05 on 29/06/2022 - 13:07

      but do you have to sign up for 12 months

      Nope. Plans are month to month, so can cancel any time.

      and the discount max is for 12 months?

      Yep. Although I was about 3/4 of the way through my last '50% off 12 Month data' plan when I "recontracted" today, so there's a good to fair chance that you'll get an opportunity to renew again with an Optus offer before your old offer expires.

      • yoquierotaco on 29/06/2022 - 15:00

        Does anyone know if recontraction with a device will affect it? For example, the A8 tab deal, there is a $44 credit per month on it apparently to make it "free"

  • slipperypete on 29/06/2022 - 17:39

    is it possible to re-contract from my recent Optus data + device plan (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/696220) and move from my current 30GB plan to the promotional 60GB plan without incurring any penalty/cancelation fees?

  • Warehouse on 30/06/2022 - 07:48

    Damn.. I just bought a 12m prepaid coles sim for my tablet. This would have been much better as it's mtm

  • THEMAN_AUS on 30/06/2022 - 14:58

    Just FYI. I signed up for this and they sent through the contract but they seem have removed the double data offer in the contract? There is no mention of double data anywhere.

    60 GB for $12.50 monthly (4G Network) is what I signed up for.

    contract says this:
    Your plan
    30GB Optus Choice Plus Data Plan

    I seem to be only getting 30gb so… its half off and half the data = its not really half off? Anyhow, I've screenshotted and saved their page and pricing+data rate. Anyhow - it might not be an issue but who knows.
