Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / October 2004Optus Your Saver Plus plan
I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan. I got a letter a few days ago stating that the minimum spend is goijng from $0 to $9 per month from 01/11/2004. This includes $9 worth of calls. Thanks David Chung, Customer Relationship Manager, SingTel. Oh well, get rid of it then, youll only have 29 SIMs left . . . > I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan.

You don't know anything, boy. >I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan.

Call rate doesn't really matter as I've got 3 SIMs on the Your Saver Plus plan sitting in Fixed Wireless Terminals (very few outgoing calls are made). >>I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan.

Usage Only Plan. You cant actually get it from scratch tho, you change to it off a contract plan at the end of the contract. > Call rate doesn't really matter as I've got 3 SIMs > on the Your Saver Plus plan sitting in Fixed Wireless > Terminals (very few outgoing calls are made). >>> I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan.

I got it after only being with Optus for 3 months and not on a contract, I simply said that the plan I was on wasn't right for me and they put me on Usage only after checking my account details >>>> I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan.

You've got one of those plans... have u received any pricing change notification? You cannot change to useage only from your saver plus, unless you on a handset repayment option. You're better off looking at one of the Voda no access fee plans. > >Usage Only Plan. > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > You've got one of those plans... have u received any pricing change > notification? >You cannot change to useage only from your saver plus, unless you on a >handset repayment option. > >You're better off looking at one of the Voda no access fee plans. No can do as Vodafone coverage sucks (as does Telstra) in the locations of these 3 FWTs. Thanks for that though. > No can do as Vodafone coverage sucks (as does Telstra) in the > locations of these 3 FWTs. Thanks for that though. If you need $0/month postpaid on the Optus network, this is the only one I've seen currently available for new connects: https://www.bdigital.com.au/bweb/html/shopping/call_plan.html?planID=511 B $49 Chat Cap 0 Plan $0/month minimum No fixed term Voice charge capped at $49 for up to $100 of calls 35c/30 seconds call rate 25c flagfall 15c SMS B Chat Time offer - 30c/10 minutes to Optus GSM, 8pm-midnight 7 days > If you need $0/month postpaid on the Optus network, this is the only one > I've seen currently available for new connects: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > 15c SMS > B Chat Time offer - 30c/10 minutes to Optus GSM, 8pm-midnight 7 days Are there any hidden gotchas with this? Am I correct in thinking it is a post-paid service that doesn't require direct debit? I see they have a similar $99 cap plan (for up to $300 of calls) but with 25c/30 seconds call rate, which might be better for some people (e.g. me, as I am not going to reach the $49 cap). https://www.bdigital.com.au/bweb/html/shopping/call_plan.html?planID=517 >> https://www.bdigital.com.au/bweb/html/shopping/call_plan.html?planID=511 >> B $49 Chat Cap 0 Plan > > Are there any hidden gotchas with this?

Yep. > have u received any pricing change notification? Nope, and I just got the latest statement days ago. >>> Usage Only Plan. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Nope, and I just got the latest statement days ago. I've got 2 phones on one statement - one is Your Saver Plus and the other is Usage Only. The letter says Your Saver plans are going to have the min $9 and doesn't mention Usage Only. Seems a bit stupid of them in my case because I'm going to keep my Usage Only SIM and they are going to be billing me for even less. I got my letter today 25 Oct and the fee is being applied from 1 Nov - Optus deserve a good kick up the arse. > >I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan.

The only problem is the credit on Optus prepaid plans expire after 6 months, I don't make any outgoing calls at all so this is a waste of $30/6months. Where is this 0$ plan Rod Speed? I would have thought they don't have any if they are cancelling the Your Save Plus plan? > I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan.

Yeah, not very good value at all. > Where is this 0$ plan Rod Speed? I've only ever seen it listed in the standard agreement docs. > I would have thought they don't have any if > they are cancelling the Your Save Plus plan? They certainly havent notified me of any change in the Usage Only Plan. >> I know there are a few regulars in here on the above plan.
