Optus is offering eligible customers a $20 per month discount for 12 months on eligible SIM plans, slashing the monthly cost of these plans by up to 40%.

This deal is available exclusively for customers living in select postcodes. Head over to the Optus site and punch in your postcode to see if these savings are available in your area.

You can apply the discount to any of the four Optus Choice Plus plans, including the Small Optus Choice Plus plan, which is usually $49 per month. It includes unlimited calls and text in Australia, 5G network access*, and a big 30GB of data— all for just $29 per month for the first 12 months.

As you can see above, the range of Optus Choice Plus plans cover all mobile data needs, with data inclusions from 30GB up to a huge 360GB per month.

Better still, the data in these plans can be shared with other eligible plans on the same account. A family of savvy shoppers could mix-and-match larger and smaller Optus Choice Plus plans and save money by sharing the total data pool.

More than a phone plan

Every day is a great day to save $20 per month on your phone bill, but the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S23 makes it an even better time to make the switch. The phone plan discounts can be used in conjunction with other offers.

Optus phone plans come stuffed with a laundry list of excellent possible add-ons, including wallet-savers like Endless Data, Data Sharing and Unlimited Data Days.

With Endless Data, you'll never have to pay for excess data usage. If you hit the limit of your data inclusions, Optus will automatically throttle the speed of your connection to a maximum of 1.5Mbps.

If you find you have excess data left over, you can choose to take part in the Optus Donate Your Data program and donate your data to people in need.

On top of these excellent plan features, all customers on Optus month-to-month SIM plans get access to Optus SubHub , which is a great way to group and manage your subscription services, with one simple payment each month. Plus, you can save up to 10% on eligible subscriptions when you group 3 or more on Optus SubHub.

SubHub is a great way to manage some of the world's best content and apps, including BINGE, Calm, Sweat and many more. You can even bring your existing Netflix and Amazon Prime account with you.

The $20 per month for 12 months discount is available now for eligible customers in select postcodes, and the promotion ends on 31 March 2023. Reverts to standard price after 12 months. New services in select postcodes only. N/A with other offers unless specified. T&Cs apply. Visit the Optus site now and enter your postcode to see if these discounts are available in your area.

*The Optus 5G mobile network is currently available in selected areas of Australia. When not in 5G coverage area, the device will switch to Optus 4G or 3G network where it is available. Check out the Optus 5G mobile coverage map for the latest updates on our 5G network rollout.
