OPTUS TAKES IT TO THE 'MAX' WITH NEW PRE-PAID MOBILE PLANS

In a drive to deliver more value than ever before to the pre-paid market, Optus today launched Turbo Max, one of Australia's best pre-paid offers. With the new $70 and $100 Optus Turbo Max pre-paid plans, Optus customers can enjoy virtually 'unlimited' mobile usage with the flexibility and certainty of pre-paid.

For customers who make lots of calls, the $70 Optus Turbo Max provides a huge 3,000 minutes of calls per recharge* to any Australian mobile. For those who like to text, talk and browse, the $100 Turbo Max provides 3,000 minutes, 3,000 SMS and up to 2GB of data per recharge*.

Michael Smith, Managing Director, Optus Consumer said "With the largest prepaid customer base in Australia, Optus knows how important real value is to pre-paid customers. They want simple to understand offers that show them exactly what they get upfront, and with Turbo Max that's what we’ve given them.

"Just as our Timeless plans were a great innovation for post-paid customers, we believe Turbo Max is one of the best pre-paid offers in the Australian market," Mr Smith said.

For customers who use their phone for more than just voice, the $100 Turbo Max plan is a great all-in-one pre-paid mobile offer for calls, SMS and mobile data. The 2GB of mobile data is one of the largest data allowances ever offered on pre-paid mobile, reflecting the growing demand from customers to access email and browse the web on their pre-paid mobile device.

Turbo Max is available to new and existing customers and is the second major prepaid offer launched by Optus this year, allowing customers to "Live Life without limits". Last month Optus launched Turbo Text, a prepaid plan that delivers unlimited text messaging to any five friends’ mobiles on any network in Australia for a $30 recharge.

"Optus continues to offer value and freedom to its customers with great plans that are easy to understand and represent great value. With Turbo Max and Turbo Text we are proving once again that when you think pre-paid mobile, you think Optus," Mr Smith said.
