  • Esim?

    Good plan for sammy watch

      I believe only Postpaid plans directly with the Voda,Telstra, Optus can add esim plans.

      • Nope. Ive added prepaid amaysim, telstra, and kogan successfully

        • How'd you manage that? I can only activate LTE, via your galaxy watch phone app. It wouldn't let me connect anything other then a Telstra Postpaid plan, linked to the phone I'm using.

          I even got a 5th covid jab to increase my 5g coverage, but no luck

          • @M00Cow: You need another 6th jab for the nano particles to fully transform your Corpus callosum into a 5G antenna

    This is postpaid, needs 1 month notice before moving out. If not activating SIM card in 30 days from ordering date, there is a $10 SIM card charge.

    • Thanks I’ll add to description

  • I’d prefer Amaysim’s $5 calls and text plan, despite no data

    • Yes that plan is also fabulous. It depends on what you need.

    • You mean $60 a year.

      • Where?

        • Need to be signed up on another plan including PAYG plan then you change in the app.

    • Where is this deal please?

      • +1

        You need to be signed up on another plan and then you can move to it in app.

        • Another plan can be the free PAYG, then change inside the app

    • Does it allow you to use VoLTE and VoWifi on this plan as there is no data included?

      • Not completely sure - my guess is wifi calling would be available given amaysim does support this, and this doesn’t affect data.

        VoLTE probably would work if you activate data, but then you would be charged at $10/ gb. Most people would turn of mobile data

          VoLTE probably would work if you activate data

          You're misunderstanding what LTE and VoLTE are.

          Before LTE, mobile phone networks were primarily designed to handle voice data, and the ability to handle internet data was essentially "tacked on".

          LTE turned this around, effectively saying "everything is data". If you want to make a voice call on an LTE phone without using VoLTE, then the phone has to revert back to an older 3G transmission mode for the duration of the call.

          So you don't "turn on data" to use VoLTE, as the data is "always on" with LTE (also known as 4G). You can turn on and off the phone's ability to talk to the internet, you aren't turning "data" on and off.

          All of the mobile networks have rolled out 4G, because they want to remove 3G. This is because 4G can transmit more data than 3G can, so the networks can connect to more people at once, and still supply good data speeds. So they're pushing everyone onto VoLTE, so they can finally get rid of 3G, and re-use the radio channels that were dedicated to 3G for LTE/4G.

          Very few radio channels are currently available for 3G connections, and all of the networks have said 3G will be completely phased out in the next 12 months. So if you're not using VoLTE already, you'll be forced onto it soon. If your mobile phone isn't capable of handling VoLTE, you shortly won't be able to make voice calls.

          If you're on a phone plan with no "data", that's referring to "data for connecting to the internet". Your voice calls over VoLTE will still work, and you won't be billed for the data used by those voice calls.

          And just to confuse things a bit more, some apps like Skype and Messenger and WhatsApp use internet data to make voice calls. Those apps won't work if you have the phone's internet connection turned off, and if it's on, you will be charged for the data used by voice calls through those apps.

          Yup VoLTE works for calls even with no data pack :)

  • What happens when 500mb finishes?

    • Internet is stopped.

    • The data stops until your next renewal, but you can also buy add-on data packs starting at $7 for 1Gbyte.

    Damn. That's (profanity) dope for kids.

    Back in my day, you used to have to lie through your teeth so your dad would yell at optus that there must have been an error and the data wasn't used because of course I didn't download like 2 megabytes worth of poly ringtones that one time and then you got the 60 dollar fee undone.

  • This 4$ monthly plan looks like a dream for light users

    • +1

      for light users

      Or even for not-so-light users, if the majority of your communications use messaging through WhatsApp or similar, and you're normally in WiFi range when you're browsing the internet.

  • Once you exceed the call minutes or SMS caps, the excess rates seem quite mild compared to other mvnos.

    Excess calls are 25c per minute, plus 25c flagfall.

    Excess SMS are 25c each.

    It would be a shame if they do a credit check for a $4 plan

  • Is it an esim?

  • do they verify your ID before activating or no?

  • Yep they verify your ID before activating , you have to email the ID photos over email haha

    • Is this true? That's insane
