OPTUS PREPAID GIVES WEB FANATICS AND TALKAHOLICS MORE DATA AND MORE TALK

21 January 2015

Optus has launched a limited time offer for prepaid customers who want extra data and unlimited weekend calls: the New My Prepaid Monthly plan. From today, Optus prepaid customers who connect to New My Prepaid Monthly and recharge with $30 will get 500MB more data than the previous plan, for a total of 1.5GB of included data, plus unlimited standard national weekend calls. Customers recharging with $45 and $60 will get an extra 1GB for a total of 3GB and 6GB of data respectively, in addition to unlimited talk and text to use within 30 days. Ben White, Vice President of Mobile Marketing, Optus, said, “We see two distinct types of prepaid customers, those who want as much data as possible to power their smartphones, and those who need loads of minutes to call friends and family. Thanks to the extra data and unlimited weekend calls with New My Prepaid Monthly, Optus has one of the most competitive prepaid offers in the market to meet our customers’ needs.”

More data and more talk = great value

  • More value: get an extra 500MB or 1GB of data for use within 30 days
  • More talk: unlimited standard national weekend calls with a $30 recharge, unlimited standard national calls with a $45 and $60 recharge
  • Unlimited text: unlimited standard national text
  • No contract: all the benefits of prepaid, pay what you want, when you want

“Prepaid customers enjoy the control and flexibility that paying as you go offers. They don’t want to be locked in but they’re looking for large amounts of data to power their smartphones. Now customers who want more data and unlimited weekend minutes can rest easy knowing their recharges will stretch even further,” said Mr White. The extra data and extra talk offer for the New My Prepaid Monthly plan is available from 21 January to 19 April 2015. Customers who sign up for this offer will get the additional inclusions for the life of their plan. This offer is also available for existing customers who change their plan to New My Prepaid Monthly within the offer period. Check out all the details here: www.optus.com.au/prepaid.
