We're making changes to your Prepaid mobile plan

As our customers' needs and technology evolve, we continue to improve our Prepaid plans. This means we'll be saying goodbye to our older plans and moving you to our latest plan Optus Flex Plus.

Our ongoing and increasing costs to deliver our products and services means these plans include an increase to the price. Also, there is a change to some inclusions and some expiry periods are no longer available. And as a thanks for being with Optus, existing Optus Flex 4G (Flex) customers being moved onto Optus Flex Plus (Flex Plus) will receive extra data.

What's changing?

We'll start moving Flex customers onto our new Flex Plus plan from the date included in the message we sent you. Customers will be contacted directly via SMS with information on the change. Note, the change may not happen on the exact date and could take a few weeks.

For Optus Flex Plus inclusions and plans download the Critical Information Summary at optus.com.au/for-you/cis/flexplus.

The plan change will happen automatically, so you don't have to do anything. On the day that you have been moved, you'll receive a plan change confirmation SMS from us. Any unused data balances and inclusions on your old Flex plan will carry over and expire on their old expiry date or the date of your first Flex Plus recharge, whichever is earlier.

Extra data

On top of the Flex Plus plan inclusions, as an existing customer being moved onto Flex Plus you'll receive even more data:

  • One-off 50GB extra added to the data rollover data balance on your first Optus Flex Plus recharge
  • Up to double data on every Flex Plus recharge until 31 March 2025. See below for a breakdown:
