We're making changes to our Optus Choice mobile plans

Here's what you need to know

At Optus, we're committed to keeping Australians connected in the moments that matter, while continuing to offer choice and great value.

We've been investing in our network to roll out Australia's fastest 5G, create innovative Living Network tools that put you in control, provide access to exclusive content, and to enable our new subscription management service, SubHub, that allows you to save on everyday costs like your Netflix subscription.

Our ongoing investment in better and new services, the growing usage of our network, and the widespread cost of inflation also experienced by Optus, means we've made the difficult decision to increase the price of our mobile plans.

What's changing?

From 8 October 2022, the price of some Optus 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.

Don't worry, if you have existing discounts, add-ons, bonus data or other promotions, these will still apply to your account.

We're communicating directly to our customers who will have this change to their plan, by email or SMS. Our emails will outline what it means 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.

Ways to save with Optus

At this time, we know that saving money is important and we have developed a range of options that will help you do this across all of your communication and streaming products and services. Here are 5 ways to save that many of our customers are taking advantage of:

1. Save on your subscription services: If you bundle your favourite subscriptions on Optus SubHub, you can save up to 10% on each eligible subscription, including your existing Netflix subscription. This could save you over $6 per month if you bundle 6 subscriptions.
2. Save on additional mobile plans: Bring your partner or family onto your account and you can save 25% on additional plan costs. This will save you and your family a minimum of $11.25 per month, per new mobile service added. Click here to message our team.
3. Save on upfront costs: If you buy a new phone with OptusPay, you can pay it off over 12, 24 or 36 months, completely interest free. No need to pay the full amount upfront, leaving more money in your pocket when you buy.
4. Save when you travel and roam overseas: If you travel regularly, we've lowered our roaming costs by 50%, and are now only $5/5GB per day if you switch to one of our new Choice Plus subscription plans.

Our goal is to make this change as seamless as possible. You don't need to do anything. From 8 October 2022 changes will be visible in My Optus app and your new monthly access fee will apply from your next bill following the price change date.
