Make the most of your mobile with Optus
Introducing data sharing with up to five mobile devices with no ongoing costs
Optus is delivering industry-leading mobile plans for customers who want to talk more, browse more and share their data, without fear of bill shock. Today Optus launches a new range of products that allow customers to share their mobile plan’s data across multiple devices, like tablets, making sure every megabyte counts – all on one plan, with one bill.
Optus’ best plans yet
- Data sharing: share your mobile plan’s data with up to five mobile devices with no ongoing fees
- No lock-in contracts: great value SIM-only plans when customers bring their own phone
- More value: all the new plans now have more included voice and data
- No huge excess fees: pay just $10 more per extra 1GB per month
Paul O’Sullivan, Country Chief Officer, Australia said, “These plans build on the breakthrough My Plan products we launched last year. Once again, we’re delivering on our commitment to provide industry-leading products that dramatically change how customers use data. These are our best plans yet. We’re confident our customers will love them and these plans will convince more consumers to join Optus.”
Use all of your data across all of your devices
Data sharing lets you share the included data from your mobile phone plan with up to five additional mobile broadband devices, like your SIM-ready tablet, pocket Wi-Fi or USB modem. There’s no ongoing cost, just a one-off $5 set-up fee per device. This means no more chasing Wi-Fi hotspots or using battery-draining tethering.
“Customers told us they loved the original My Plan products, and thanks to their feedback, we’re making these plans even better. The new My Plan delivers all the benefits of our previous products with more included voice and data plus the added value of data sharing. So now Optus customers can do more of the things they love on their phones and tablets,” said Mr O’Sullivan.
“Optus is revolutionising the mobile market. With these new plans, we think many customers will choose to ditch standalone mobile broadband plans for good,” he said.
No lock-in contracts
Optus is giving customers the ultimate freedom of no lock-in contracts so they can keep the phone they love with an all new SIM-only version of My Plan. These best value Optus plans also offer the convenience of data sharing.
“Increasingly, customers don’t want to be locked into a contract, and are happy with their existing phone. Optus is the first major telco to deliver a great value SIM-only plan, with the added value of data sharing,” said Mr O’Sullivan.
Available from 10 June, the new My Plan will continue Optus’ mission to prevent bill shock while providing exceptional value thanks to more included minutes and more data. All of this comes with protection from huge excess data charges, with automatic top ups for only $10 per extra 1GB. Plus, customers will continue to get SMS usage alerts to help stay in control of their spend.
