Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 Apr

[SYD]

Not quite. There are some legacy plans (no longer available to choose, but still active for those one them).

Optus customer service have tried to convince me to change, but when they looked at the old plan, conceded that they can see why I wouldn't.

The larger versions of the Optus Choice plans had unlimited roaming calls in Zone 1 countries (covers all I care about), unlimited calls / text to selected overseas number (again all I cared about) and either 2 or 4Gb per month roaming data per month (so as long as the account rolls during a trip, can be double that). Not huge amounts of data, but perfectly adequate for what I need.

Multiple devices pool data allowance in Oz, so have more data than we can possible use - only have to watch when OS, but never had any dramas.

Unfortunately, they gradually shutting them all down. Make the most of it while you have it!

I really do miss my old $50 pm plan.

Hi everyone. I just received an email advising that the deal between Optus and Qantas for mobile plans earning Qantas Points will end at the end of June. Points will still be paid quarterly for the next 12 months (upfront quarterly), but then that’s it.

Any ideas if there is something new in the wings? I’d love to be able to convert Telstra Points to Qantas Points!

Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 Apr

From 12 April 2024 Qantas Frequent Flyer members can no longer sign up to aQantas SIM Only Plan by Optus. Existing Qantas SIM Only Plan customers will continue to earn Qantas Points for a period of 12 months after 11 April 2024. As a current subscriber, don't believe I've had comms on this yet...

Fingers crossed. It wouldn’t make sense for QFF to not have a partnership with a telco in the long-run, and Telstra is the premium, Australian-owned telco that the majority of QF customers use, so an imminent QF-Telstra announcement is not unrealistic.

If anything the new QF chairman being from Telstra gives more hope
