Pretty straight forward in title, Amaysim is on Optus 4G in case anyone wonders.

$99 for 1 year 60GB amaysim plan, stack with Cashreward/Shopback $17.50 cashback make it $81.5 for a year. Should be great for people with light mobile data usage.

The $99 deal expires on 30 Sep, and cashback is only eligible when activated within 30 days of purchase, so plan out your activation date before you buy!

Cashback T&C: Cashback is eligible only on a new service (SIM) which is activated within 30 days of purchase. Cashback is ineligible on any recharges to existing services.

Mod: removed reduced cashback rates from title.

Must activate Amaysim by 15 October
Cashrewards/Shopback require activation within 30 days of purchase

Thanks muwu

Update Cashback reduced to $17.5 from $22 as of 16/08/2022

        it depends on the place you go.

        For most of the place I visit in SA it have no difference to Telstra at all.

        I have heard horror stories from people in Mel/Syd though.

          In Adelaide and moved from Belong to Amaysim and there are many more black spots than with Amaysim than Belong. Mainly travelling along the Seaford train line.

        • pichxlonco on 10/08/2022 - 13:32

          I had amaysim for a month when I first arrived in Melbourne. I was applying for jobs at the time, and of course i needed a phone to receive any calls regarding to that. I once couldn't find my phone inside the house, so i asked my wife call my mobile to find it. The call never connected and she was sent straight to voice mail. After finding the phone, i asked her to try again, and she got the same result, but my phone showed a full signal . We tried again the next day with similar results, so i ended up moving to boost (telstra network).

        It is ok. I sometimes I have like one bar even when I am outside here in brisbane. I don't make a lot of calls but it does slows down the internet. A bit annoying when you are trying to find the next best deal on ozbargain.

      You definitely won't get cashback, and $99 is kind of a regular price for "normal discount". You see them every so often via Amaysim, Coles Mobile, Catch Mobile etc (all using same optus network)

      • D1977 on 10/08/2022 - 10:45

        Is it definitely confirmed 100% that the cashback only kicks in after you activate the SIM / port your number over? I plan to buy this but I have just under 2 months left on my current plan so was not going to buy this until I am in my final month. If the cashback happens before you activate the SIM then I'll buy it now.

    • OMGJL on 10/08/2022 - 09:37

      Boost $200 plan for 140GB, sometime they have activation bonus data on top. You can get them regularly for ~$160 on eBay, remember to stack with ~2% cashback ebay giftcard via Shopback etc.

      That's if your kid know how not to exhaust the data way before expire date, forcing you to buy him a different SIM card afterwards.

      Boost use full telstra 4G network and have trial 5G with no expire date, so you'll have full Telstra 4G/5G network.

      • Herb Utsmellz on 10/08/2022 - 09:39

        Thanks mate, currently using 6-10gb data a month @ $20 but extra $10 for every gb over 8. So this could be a good option.

        Have been using Boost for almost 2 years. Overall experience within metro Sydney is good but there are some “permanent” indoor blind spots (e.g. Ikea Tempe) where other networks (optus, voda) have coverage except mine. It’s really annoying but I guess every network has blind spots, it just depends on where you frequently go. Would like to try other networks when my Boost expires.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2022 - 13:03

          Can one check their home/work address against blind spots of Telstra/Optus?Voda?

          Any websites?

          • OMGJL on 10/08/2022 - 16:40

            @[Deactivated]: you do have access to "coverage map" on most of the mobile carrier, but you won't be able to tell if it's patchy or not.

      • Tamtu on 11/08/2022 - 08:22

        What do you mean by

        trial 5G with no expire date

        From their website, it looks like 5G is temporary

        the trial will end on the 28 November 2022. After the trial, your service will default back to the standard in-market network access for your chosen plan

        • OMGJL on 11/08/2022 - 09:12

          It doesn't have an end date when I checked their site last time which is a week ago.

          • Tamtu on 11/08/2022 - 09:43

            @OMGJL: Looks like it has an end date now at least. (Also, I checked just over a week ago, and their site already listed the end date.)

        doesn't quite work out for his kid as the requirement is

        6GB isn't enough for him and the 25GB Moose plan works out to be more expensive than Catch/Boost yearly plan.

    • sistermay on 10/08/2022 - 10:37

      Agree better value with international calls, I don't like using app based calls as they cut out a lot whenever mine or their phone rings so I always call overseas on IDD now since my Boost sim includes that. :)

        Aldi is on the Telstra MVNO network, not full Telstra retail network, where Amaysim/Coles etc uses Optus network (no difference retail/MVNO AFAIK),

        and (In the area I go to often) I personally find Full Telstra > Optus > Telstra MVNO, but Telstra MVNO network isn't bad enough for me to avoid using when a good deal pops up.

    I got the last cheap deal but had several issues: 1. number port was stuck in limbo and their website is trash, called support and they told me they're on it, called them again 2 days later and they said they'd tell the engineers to push it through, called again 2 days later and the person just restarted the port and it worked. That's roughly 11 business days to port. 2. Cashback (CashRewards) fell through and called support whom told me many people's cashback fell through on Amaysim. Currently in pending status for the dispute, it's been almost 3 months. 3. Connection is okay, gets me by like Kogan/Catch Connect.
    Would only go through it again for a great deal, otherwise had better experience with Catch.

        From the description -

        Cashback is eligible only on a new service (SIM) which is activated within 30 days of purchase.

        When you purchase online there is an option to choose if you are porting or not. I always say I'm porting even if I'm not so the sim won't be delivered already activated.
        You can choose to port or not when you activate.

      Optus Network is usually better than Vodafone network, and generally in SA Optus network is faster. There are exceptions in certain area though.

      if you buy Kogan SIM make sure remember to buy Kogan gift card before buying the SIM which saves you another few dollars.

      I believe referral credit is for recharge afterwards, not for the first activation. I could be wrong though.

    Currently with Kogan and I tried to port my number when signing up to this deal but any error came up not allowing me to complete the purchase.
    It said that my number is already in their system contact chat or call.
    I've been with them in the past, but not for more that a year, plus as I said, I'm currently with Kogan.
    I went to chat but "Ron" didn't seem to know what was going on and he said he escalated it and finished the chat….

    Anyone else had this happen?

    Guess I'll have to give them a call which is a PIA…

    I've been getting an error during checkout for the last 4 - 5 days…

    Our shopping cart isn't working right now…

    Whilst we twiddle with the on/off switch, we suggest you come back later and try again.
