We're making changes to our Optus Choice mobile plans
Here's what you need to know
At Optus, we're committed to keeping Australian businesses connected, while continuing to offer choice and great value.
We've been investing in our network to roll out Australia's fastest 5G, providing support through our teams of business specialists, and continuing to provide great mobile plans with more inclusions than before.
Our ongoing investment in better and new services, the growing usage of our network, and the widespread cost of inflation also experienced by Optus, mean we've made the difficult decision to increase the price of some Choice mobile plans.
What's changing?
From 8 October 2022, the price of some Choice mobile plans will increase by $4 a month. For these plans, we'll also be adding additional data to your plan to provide more value, increasing your plan's total data inclusion.
Note: This change will not affect any existing discounts, add-ons, bonus data or other promotions which you may have on your plans.
We're communicating directly to our business customers who will have this change to their plan, by email or SMS. The email outlines what the changes mean for you. If you're getting an SMS from us, we may be having trouble emailing you. To keep in touch with Optus you can update your email details here.
What plans are impacted by the price change?
The Optus mobile plans impacted by the price increase are:
- Choice - $39 Optus Choice Small, $49 Optus Choice Medium, $59 Optus Choice Large, $79 Optus Choice XLarge.
- Choice Build - $45 Optus Choice Build 30GB, $47 Optus Choice Build 60GB, $55 Optus Choice Build 100GB, $67 Optus Choice Build 120GB, $79 Optus Choice Build 150GB
- Optus Promo Choice Plans - $39 Promo Choice Plan, $49 Promo Choice Plan
As of 8 October 2022, the cost of each plan will increase by $4 per month. We'll also increase the data allowance on each plan by a minimum of 10GB.
Note: This change will not affect any existing discounts, add-ons, bonus data or other promotions which you may have on your plans.
