About Amaysim mobile plans

Amaysim has been in the telco game since 2010, and since its launch has established itself as one of the best-known and most popular alternatives to Telstra, Vodafone or Optus. With a small but impressive range of SIM-only plans on offer, Amaysim offers simplicity and flexibility. There are no lock-in contracts and you can buy an Amaysim SIM card both online and from stores, including Coles, Woolworths, 7-Eleven and Australia Post.

All Amaysim mobile plans are offered as prepaid, meaning you’ll pay for your usage upfront. This is a great way to avoid unexpected overages, and you can set up automatically-renewing payments to ensure you’re never without service, rather than purchasing an Amaysim recharge after each expiry. You can also take advantage of Amaysim’s unlimited data banking, giving you access to any unused data from previous months, although if you leave Amaysim, this data bank will no longer be available.

All Amaysim prepaid SIM-only plans are bring-your-own-phone (SIM only) and its main plans run over 28 days, with 5G included on selected options. There are also long-expiry prepaid plans available which run over 12 months, along with a simple short-term plan that runs over seven days. Customers also get access to an unlimited data bank, where you’ll be able to roll over any unused data.

Amaysim is an Optus Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), meaning it offers service on Optus’ 3G, 4G Plus and 5G networks. So if you move to Amaysim, you’ll get similar coverage and data speeds as you would on an Optus plan.

Amaysim plans come with a range of extras, including:

• International calls: Selected Amaysim plans include unlimited standard calls to 42 countries.
• Auto-recharge: Amaysim offers automatic renewal every 28 days on its unlimited phone plans.
• International roaming: Amaysim customers can add one of four international roaming packs to their plan at any time through the Amaysim app.
• Unlimited data banking: The data you don’t use every month gets added to a data bank, which you can access at any time when you need it.
