CMF Phone 2 Pro $4.12/Month over 36 Months ($342.92 Min Cost, Save $300) on Eligible Phone Plans @ Optus

130

Ordered mine today and figured I’d share since the pricing seemed pretty decent.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro is available on Optus device repayments for either:

• $4.12/month over 36 months, or
• $6.18/month over 24 months

Minimum cost shows as $342.92 (full handset repayments + one month of the plan).
Optus also has the $55 Promo Plan running at $40/month for the first 12 months, which includes:

• 50GB base data
• +50GB bonus data for 12 months (so 100GB/month for the first year)
• No lock‑in
• No excess data charges
• $5/day roaming
• eSIM support
• Unlimited talk/text

For me it made sense because I was already paying $39/month with Telstra for 25% amount of this data, so getting 100GB for $40 plus a handset felt like a solid upgrade.
Other notes:

• $100 handset price drop
• Extra $200 off when paired with eligible plans
• Free express delivery or store pickup
• Runs until 17/5/26 or while stock lasts

    $348 outright from optus without screwing around and credit score hit. What's the point of this?

    • Agreed. This is what it sold for outright 4-5 months ago. Nothing that special. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/940825

      • Nothing that special

        So you're saying it's special?

            @Abang Tukang Bakso: I love English technicalities. WatchNerd always picks on them, hehe.

            OK, if we're going to English nerd it, I'd wager he's correct.
            I think WatchNerd was trying to make a pun on the brand name, though even without it, he's right.

            The context of "that" in that sentence implies a scalar and is a hedged negative statement.
            It demands a product be special, so the word "that" can pull the expectation lower (yet must remain special).

            If you omit the word "that" entirely, then "Nothing special" means there isn't any special.

            A common similar example would be a conversation such as: "Wow, that's expensive!" "It's not that expensive…"
            It doesnt mean its cheap, it just scales the 'shock factor' if you will, lower.

              @MasterScythe: Non sequitor fallacy, nothing that special means its not special

                @Abang Tukang Bakso: Not so. The use of a scaler demands the adjective be true.
                It's actually something quite important to understand, because Australian English uses it all the time and it can affect some important decisions.

                As an example:
                If you needed surgery, and you doctor said: "It's not that risky" - With your curent understanding you'd assume it's risk free. That's not the case.

                Reality is that in 'better' English, he's actually telling you 'There is only little risk'. The scalar ("that") demands the adjective ("risk") exists.
                Risk exists, so that it can be scaled.

                So, back to the topic at hand; something must be "special" so it can be scaled.

                Only if you remove the scaler can it be negative, like you're expecting.

    • $348 with esim.

      Are there better options with esim?

    "For me it made sense because I was already paying $39/month with Telstra for 25% amount of this data, so getting 100GB for $40 plus a handset felt like a solid upgrade."

    Its not exactly $40 plus a handset.

    If you sign up for 36 months you would be paying on average $50 a month, if you sign up for 24 months you would be paying on average 47.5 a month this is just for the phone service, when I added the price of the handset I noticed you would save .44 cents a month being on the 24 month plan over the 36 month plan. Unless I missed something in my quick math the 36 month plan seems like a waste of time.

    You might be able to make something work with the shopback $170 phone and plan cashback thats going for the next 2 hours. handset and phone would cost $47 a month after you take into account the cashback on 24 months.

    But if you were using 25% of the data before and finding that acceptable then you could have gotten a onepass simcard for $179 360gb which would have given you 30gb a month bought this phone outright and it would end up costing $29.5 a month over two years saving you a whopping $17.5 a month over the best case scenario with cashback as an example. You could then use your second nano sim slot to get extra data when you need it from random super cheap ozbargain sim deals.

    I also think spending $600 on a phone plan for a year is crazy, so it's not really a deal to me. Also a plan that is cheaper and has more data in the first year then is more expensive with less data after that is offensive to me.

  • does the monthly payment still continue if the wife and I get into a coma?

    • Not if you can report it in person while in coma.

  • And there still no orange 256gb version :(

  • Youre paying a minimum of $1900 for the plan and the phone for 36months period.. where as if you bought the phone outright and get a plan from elsewhere youre only paying $1100 over 36 months

    • Absolutely no reason to sign up for 36 months when the 24 months is cheaper. But I also think you probably shouldn't sign up for this plan anyway.

  • Optus plans are going up in price soon, just a warning!
