Having tried optus capped speed at 1Mbps and been able to watch netflix/Stan etc without any issues for 1 person, this is a good deal for 1 person to use (i.e. student, grandma, etc) if you are on a tight budget and cant afford to pay for Nbn etc.

No data rollover on this $10 per month plan.

All Plans Include

  • Unlimited calls, text and MMS.
  • Month-to-month plans, no excess data charges or bill shock
  • All on the Optus 4G network
  • Free SIM & fast shipping

What happens if I use all my data?
Once you have used all your data your speed will slow to 1 Mbps. What’s great here is you won’t be charged any excess data fees! If you’re on an eligible Dodo mobile plan, you can purchase add on packs through your My Dodo account. Simply select your mobile service, then click the "Buy Add Ons" button.

    Question:
    If I don't pay for a 2nd month, but then pay in the 3rd or 6th month for that matter, can I still keep my number?
    Would be great for overseas visitors if that's the case…

    • dlovep on 16/04/2023 - 22:08

      Why not just port to amaysim to keep number, when they come visit port to other $2-10 crazy data plans (70gb for first month)… once done port back to amaysim using the $2 sim, another year done..

    Not bad. Even has VoLTE and WIFI calling, though can anyone confirm the WIFI calling? Even better if WIFI calling can be used when you travel overseas (just like my Boost account - for receiving and calling back to Australia)?

      Only Telstra network allows VoLTE/VoWifi to be used while overseas.

      • x d on 17/04/2023 - 00:12

        Thanks for that. Might just keep paying a bit extra for the Boost then (even though I never end up using up all my allowed data)

  • Buyingcrap on 16/04/2023 - 22:01

    I have a Huawei B818 4g modem from Optus on Optus firmware. I assume it is network locked. Will this Sim work in that modem so I can give it to my mother in law? She is currently tethering a phone but has data usage issues. Would be nice to provide per a permanent connection that she can stream even low resolution video from. Her eyes are pretty sh!t resolution anyway.

    Anyone have any experience with either unlocking this modem or with dodo Sims in Optus locked devices?

      If same Opus network I don't think you need to 'unlock'.

    • Guybrush57 on 16/04/2023 - 23:50

      I have that modem, bought from Optus with the Optus firmware. It is NOT network locked but you do need to select the correct APN.

      Source: Successfully used Optus, Telstra and Vodafone SIMs.

    It's a bit more expensive than the Vodafone $30 starter packs that used to go on sale for <$9 but even those are drying up unless buying from sketch Ebay resellers. Plus this is $10 per month vs 28 days for the Vodafone. 1mbp plus 2gb vs 1.5mbp for Vodafone plus 40gb. If kogan doesn't do anymore of the $0-1 sims I might consider switching after I finish the rest of the Vodafone ones. Though I'd miss out on the $30 JB hi fi perks vouchers for new sim activations.

    Actually went for this offer a couple of weeks ago. Got my SIM (a week after I filled out the form requesting they mail me one, and I'm in suburban Sydney, so not exactly a long postal route) and tried to activate it last Tuesday (4/4), got some generic error, tried again (and both times they checked my credit card by putting a $1 hold on it) so I called them and played transfer roulette three times until I got connected to a phone with what sounded like an office party going on in the background. Thought I'd be extremely generous and gave them about ten minutes (asking "hello, are you there" every minute or so) before I hung up.
    Called back, got transferred twice, then got transferred to an upper level person who said they don't know what the problem is, but I should expect to hear from them in 24-48 hours.

    Hadn't heard anything by that Friday (7/4), only had to get transferred two times to someone who looked at my account in their system and said they were still working on it.

    Called back this Tuesday (11/4), another three transfers until I got someone who basically said "don't call us, we'll call you". Oh, and they tried to sell me on their NBN plan before I hung up, after telling me they don't know what was wrong with what they were supposed to be doing in the first place.

    Decided on Thursday (13/4) I was sick of their shit, called Belong to make sure they didn't port my number over, and they hadn't even received a request for it. Then tried calling Dodo again, only got transferred once, but that was to a message saying that department was closed (despite the hours on their website saying otherwise).

    Called again Friday morning, got sent on the transfer bus four times (including once back to the main menu) until I got to someone who could actually perform the cancellation, who actually pleasant to deal with (as best I could understand through their thick accent) but unfortunately the pleasantries of "just cancel the whole thing" only go for about a minute. On the bright side, the holds on my credit card got lifted by that afternoon, about the only thing they seem to have done in a reasonable time frame.

      Hey, you're being too kind.

      The credit card holds were likely told to go back to you days earlier and just timed up coincidentally.

    1mbps is basically dial up but fine for whirlpool forum trolling.

    • tm32 on 17/04/2023 - 07:53

      Its pretty bad, at the low end of the the early ADSL tech. Still better than 56 kbps dialup

      Just the background traffic on a typical device would consume the bandwidth long before a page loads or a stream starts.

      1mbps = 56Kbps.

      As someone who lived through that, no it aint.

        Yes and you only got the full speed if you lived near the exchange. 30Kbps I often was connecting at. Would take ages just loading up a basic webpage. Kids these days have no idea. Lol

    Has anyone done a speed test in 1mbps?
    I had a speed limited SIM for an overseas trip a while back and whenever I tested it, it was always over the 1.5mbps it was supposed to be

  • gingerscale on 17/04/2023 - 11:03

    Used 1mb (from belong not dodo) but was fine for YouTube videos playing in the background and Spotify streaming. but if anything was streaming or phone was doing anything in the background the rest of the mobile experience was pretty painful. you do need a little patience but its totally usable.
    It was actally quiet nice knowing that I had unlimited data or such a cheap price, would do it again. On a plus side due to the slowness it got me off my phone a little more so thats a bonus i guess. Long story short anyone paying over $30 a month on a sim only plan at the moment is wasting their money

    • ekstrabraket on 17/04/2023 - 12:08

      Can you please recommend a good affordable 5G 365 sim only plan on Telstra network.
      Current I’m on Belong $55 per month 160GB. I wanna buy boost but it's capped on 150mbps

      Is 150mbs enough speed.

      • gingerscale on 17/04/2023 - 13:01

        150 is more then enough, plus boost are back to top speeds for the next 6 months i beleive

        Why do you pay so much? Downgrade to $19 a month then buy the data on classified (around $5-6 per 100gb). So you could be paying $25-30 for the same amount of data. You can also buy data in bulk. Speed is capped at 100mbs, which is very Fast.

        • ekstrabraket on 18/04/2023 - 07:21

          Thanks heaps Fozzie, how do I go about that?

          • fozzie on 18/04/2023 - 07:45

            @ekstrabraket: First downgrade in your app to the $19 a month. At the same time go to the classified ads and search for belong data for sale. If none is available put an ad with your request, saying how much data you need and price (If you get 500gb the going rate it’s between $25-30).

            • ekstrabraket on 18/04/2023 - 07:46

              @fozzie: Thank you

              • fozzie on 18/04/2023 - 07:47

                @ekstrabraket: No worries, then forgot to mention just top up the data from classified (or any other place) when you need. The data always banks unlimited, so you can leave data there and you can use as you go.

                • ekstrabraket on 18/04/2023 - 08:01

                  @fozzie: I think I might just buy Boost 365 and switch back to Boost. I wonder if boost offer 1mbps

                    @ekstrabraket: Ok, I think it depends how much data you are after too. Boost doesn’t offer shaped data as far as I know.

    also is the title wrong? If you pay $10 upfront, shouldn't it be considered prepaid? I also don't see postpaid anywhere on dodo website…

        It’s not available for anyone. That plan has become $19 a month now.

  • jking_ok on 17/04/2023 - 23:38

    Thanks for the inspiration.

    $19 data sim at JB Hifi looks good to me too.
    Or $10 bundle add on at Telstra but entry cost of $68 into bundle plans ($49 at JB as well) is too high.

  • djkelly69 on 18/04/2023 - 00:02

    Just a warning for any existing Dodo users wanting to transfer to this - I wanted to transfer my son's $5 a month over, and they were obviously happy to do it.

    In the last email before putting the change order in, they mentioned excess data would be $5/GB. I said I was after the shaped deal as shown on their website. They then advised that plan is not available to existing users at this stage, only new users. So obv cancelled the plan change for now.

    • Oofy Doofy on 18/04/2023 - 18:09

      Cancel and join again. Unless they have some rule where only customers who haven't been with them for 6 months, minimum, are considered new customers.

      Which they probably do, so perhaps port out to something else for 6 months and then sign-up again.

    • PMK on 20/04/2023 - 12:39

      I was literally thinking about this. My mums on the $5 plan and was going to switch over. But just like the reply above. Just port out and come back to the network i guess. I mean it doesn't hurt to give them call and try.

  • PMK on 20/04/2023 - 12:40

    I got my mum on the $5 M2M with DoDo so this might be a good alternative to switch her onto although i may have to port out and port back in.

    Anyone know any $10pm plans with no commitments and data shock/rollover?

    Have my old man on the belong $10pm legacy plan which was great.

    Thanks OP anyway. will consider this over the weekend

    • Guybrush57 on 20/04/2023 - 18:36

      Does the $10 plan still have 64Kbps shaping?

      • PMK on 21/04/2023 - 00:27

        He doesn't have that issue. Data works fine on this one. He still has the data banking up to 500gb so he's sweet

    • Agret on 20/04/2023 - 18:48

      Anyone know any $10pm plans with no commitments and data shock/rollover?

      Yes, although it's technically just under $11/mo due to 28 days instead of 30.

      https://www.amaysim.com.au/plans/28-day-sim-plans/10-starter…

      Prepaid unlimited plan w/1GB data (just set it to autorenew), it has data banking and if you run out of data your data is just suspended since it's prepaid there is no data shock. You can buy another 1GB for $10 if really needed though.

      Both of my girlfriends parents are on this plan and it has been smooth sailing.
