    I heard with Optus you can't receive SMS overseas unless you pay for roaming?

    • BlackorRed on 18/07/2025 - 11:37

      i did received OTP sms from banking when I was overseas last month but not 100% sure if normal sms would go thru

      • noodlefan on 18/07/2025 - 11:52

        Thanks. My Boost is expiring soon and I need to choose a new one. 5G and esim are essential, and it would be nice to have free incoming SMS while overseas just in case.

        • Churna on 18/07/2025 - 15:45

          port out for a month then port back to Boost?

          • noodlefan on 18/07/2025 - 16:27

            @Churna: Good idea. Maybe I’ll try one month on the Optus network and then decide.
            My experience with Boost has been good. I usually get around 2 bars outside the CBD, it's not great but I haven’t had any speed issues.

          Hey mate, just to let you know from shitty experience, you won't get SMS while travelling internationally UNLESS you pay to get International roaming for at least a day, after that it'll work until your back.

      • Chickfilo on 18/07/2025 - 13:44

        Were you on an Optus Prepaid plan?

        • BlackorRed on 18/07/2025 - 18:34

          yes same plan but no international calls

    • melter on 18/07/2025 - 14:25

      I just came back from overseas last week (Singapore).
      Can't even join a network, so no hope to get SMS.
      I launched a chat with support and it gets escalated, but not solved.
      I am back in Australia and let it passed.
      BTW, my Boost ended, so I bought a prepaid Optus sim, and before porting over, I chat with the support person and she ensure me that I can receive OTP from banks. Ends up couldn't. So, beware.

        honestly roaming is not guaranteed with any network provider because when you go overseas you are a guest on a local provider which is just chosen over partnership from Optus/whatever company

        when I was in China and i was trying to receive OTP from boost… it came extremely delayed or failed at times..

          Well after the massive data leaks and numerous other scandals (like taking advantages from vulnerable customers recently), I wouldnt trust a single BS from Optus

      • Burger R on 19/07/2025 - 06:23

        Can confirm Singapore and china roaming fails with Optus.

      • awesometkh on 19/07/2025 - 16:33

        Extremely strange considering Optus is owned by Singtel - which is Singapore's leading telco.

    • hsp on 18/07/2025 - 17:31

      It is free but roaming doesn’t work 80% of the time, fails to even get a network… Had to contact them and wait hours to finally get it working. No issues with Felix or telstra

    • Juggernaut1984 on 18/07/2025 - 20:53

      postpaid is $5 per day for 5gb calls and text with optus in most countries.

    • dsar on 19/07/2025 - 02:39

      You won't recieve SMS overseas unless you get roaming for at least a day.

      • TheMills on 19/07/2025 - 13:50

        How much does that cost?

        • dsar on 20/07/2025 - 04:58
          +2

          $5 for 1 day, but it seems like you only need to trigger it for one day and it’ll last seemingly forever

          • vrsac on 22/07/2025 - 21:39

            @dsar: But only if you remain in that one country. If you leave it and travel to another country, it won't register on that local network unless you pay for roaming AGAIN!
            It's happened to me. Bloody OPTARSE‼️

            • dsar on 23/07/2025 - 15:36

              @vrsac: Hmm it seemed to work for me, went from Japan to Korea to Bali

              • vrsac on 23/07/2025 - 15:55

                @dsar: it doesn't work for everyone. This has been discussed in OzB forums too. It's so inconsistent that you cannot rely on Optus. I will be switching to Boost as soon as this plan expires.

                • dsar on 23/07/2025 - 22:08

                  @vrsac: Yeah I'm definitely going back to Boost or Vodafone at this stage.

    Do we get to see any matching cashback offers from CR or TCB? Last year I bought 2 Sims from CR and credited $100 X 2.

  • Bill48 on 18/07/2025 - 11:54

    300Gb for first 3 recharges on a 365 day plan? So that means for 3 years?

    • seniordoc on 18/07/2025 - 12:14
      +1

      Yes, but I believe next year you have to paid full fee of $350. Can anyone confirm it?

      • AFZO on 18/07/2025 - 12:30
        +1

        yes, can confirm:

        All recharges revert to standard plan price

  • paaj on 18/07/2025 - 12:06

    I think this deal works out better from cashrewards when available. Last time the plan was discounted to $250 and then there was something like $90 cashback. It was for new connections so you had to get a $2 Sim elsewhere and then connect through.

    • BlackorRed on 18/07/2025 - 12:38

      CB is hit and miss for some people, I never had issue with my cashback last year but it took a while to be released to my account and you have to pay upfront first with 🤞 it goes through

  • Trishool on 18/07/2025 - 12:07

    6000 mins std international calls to Zone 1 and 800 mins to Zone 2 plus 50 std international SMS

    How can I find out which countries are included?

  • seniordoc on 18/07/2025 - 12:12

    "…TARGET 10% discount and 3000 flybuys bonus points for $80"
    Will you get the discount and flybuy points if you buy SIM cards? Last time the Coles counter said no.

    • BlackorRed on 18/07/2025 - 12:19
      +1

      $80 transaction excludes purchases of all gift cards, iTunes cards, charity items/donations, tobacco and tobacco related products
      This is from their promotion T&C, not sure sim card will fall into gift card categories anyway

    • leop on 18/07/2025 - 18:25

      I just bought 2 SIMs with 10% discount. Didn't have 3000 flybuys bonus points

    • BargainBenno on 19/07/2025 - 00:13

      The SIM card is considered a gift card so I doubt it. I bought an amaysom starter kit earlier this week and the ten percent was not available on that one.

      • BlackorRed on 19/07/2025 - 08:42

        10% applied to my sim card yesterday but 3200 flybuys bonus points not yet show up

        • BargainBenno on 19/07/2025 - 20:39

          Ok. So if I get a 365 day Optus som next Monday and I have the Coles 10 % offer it should work.

          • BlackorRed on 19/07/2025 - 20:46

            @BargainBenno: ends Tuesday next week so Monday should be fine. My 3200 flybuys bonus points has been credited

        • OzSikh on 20/07/2025 - 00:39

          I had spend $130 and get 5200 points offer. Bought this yesterday and received 5200 points today. Thanks mate!

  • yopossum12 on 18/07/2025 - 12:50

    Can you use Apple Watch plan with this?

    • keksondecks on 18/07/2025 - 13:54

      Apple watch number sharing generally requires a post paid plan from the big 3.

      • heeatseggs on 18/07/2025 - 14:38

        I wonder why they force you onto a post paid plan. I know a few elderly people with prepaid who use their Apple watch as health device and dislike the idea of having to bring their phone along all the time 😞 I don't know what to suggest to them.

        • jackary on 19/07/2025 - 03:04

          Same issue here - work for an aged care org and get asked about apple/samsung watch all the time. Tangerine is an option but it’s still not particularly cheap im afraid.

  • Jammar on 18/07/2025 - 13:46

    Does this come with the $5 5gb / day roaming?

    • Associatedstwongy @ Optus on 18/07/2025 - 17:57

      no, only recent postpaid plans do. Prepaid flex plus is $5 for 1 gb

  • sunnyc on 18/07/2025 - 16:00

    MSG me if you have any complaints about Optus prepaid. Looking to start something

    • bobvegas on 18/07/2025 - 16:13

    I am on Optus prepaid monthly expiring tonight
    I hope i can port out to coles $2 prepaid or similar today and port back in to Optus tomorrow on this?

    • Associatedstwongy @ Optus on 18/07/2025 - 18:01

      i believe it should work.. port ins are usually quick unless there's some kind of maintenance going on. I've heard it can take longer on weekends but most of the time its fine.

      • nsavi on 18/07/2025 - 19:01

        Yea! I tried Coles one weekend and it took a whole week to activate. Was activated the following week

        I will have to look for a different option

  • shakensparco on 18/07/2025 - 21:38

    Is it pretty straightforward to transfer my number?

  • Porker on 19/07/2025 - 07:27

      Ofcourse yes. Visit nearby Optus showroom and request an eSim.

  • alteclan on 21/07/2025 - 06:32

    Does this support visual voicemail?

  • Pmpm1898 on 21/07/2025 - 17:19

    Since using it, I feel that Optus is very suitable for the area where I live.

  • Jack Russell on 21/07/2025 - 20:18

    Could you use coles voucher to pay for this?

  • nekov on 22/07/2025 - 07:03

    Not sure what happened, bought this just now and some flybuys offer of $100 came in at the register.
    Ended up only $99

    • Chhaava on 22/07/2025 - 07:51

      Did you have any flybuys points/credit on your account?.

      • nekov on 22/07/2025 - 12:06

        I do, but it says reward on the receipt and none of my points got used (I'll check again in a few days)

  • Chhaava on 22/07/2025 - 07:58

    Is this 10% different from Coles saver monthly discount?
