What's the cheapest plan to port to just so I can port back in to Felix as a new customer for discounts? Any $10 prepaid recharges or anything cheaper? esim pref
Cheapest Port-out Port-in plan?

The $2 Telstra sims allow you to activate and port in without adding any credit. (fairly well hidden option if I recall correctly but it is there).
Yes, it still allows this month. If one can't justify the $2 waste, just buy a proper short term plan.
$5 aldi is my go to
Yomojo first month free
You can't port a number in for the free trial
New number will be issued on sign-up (port-in not available).
Good point!
Anyone know if there's a minimum wait time before porting back in? I'm with Optus, have a $2 Telstra SIM, want to port out and back in to Optus. Do I need to stay with Telstra for a minimum amount of time or can I leave the same day?
$2 Telstra sim requires a recharge from memory, so $30 minimum or something
Usually no minimum term
I've seen comments suggesting it didn't require a recharge / it's people's choice when needing to port out/back in… hmm
havent tried it myself, not sure
I know optus $2 sims require a recharge
@Dyl: I just ported over, no recharge required (after verifying your ID it presents you with recharge options, down the bottom there's an option to continue without recharging)
@johnnytran: Neat, I'll get a $2 sim then!
It's only to keep rotating Felix discounts
I lost my $20 365 day travel pack, but $20/mo off for 6 months so it's worth it
@Dyl: Optus allowed activation before via this trick, but not possible after the data breach in 2022.
$2 Telstra SIM
amaysim $30 eSIM SP for $10
