amaysim review: What we think?

amaysim launched in 2010 and is now one of the largest mobile virtual network operators in Australia. In addition to its range of regular mobile plans, it also sells mobile broadband data-only plans for customers who want data on the go.

At the bottom end of the data spectrum, amaysim doesn't stand out much, with their 7GB plan costing around $2 per 1GB. But at the higher end it has some of the best data for dollar value you'll find in the mobile broadband market, offering 1GB at a rate of just 65c. Beyond that, amaysim's plans expire after just 28 days, which means you'll find yourself recharging an extra time over the course of a year compared to 30-day plans.

Should you go with amaysim?

      Hi Linda,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      Generally, Once you’ve applied for your new NBN plan, your ISP will usually arrange for a technician to visit your home to complete the installation. You will also receive a new modem if you have opted for one and instructions on how to connect your devices to the network.
      The activation process after applying for a plan will depend on whether you’ve already had the NBN equipment installed at your premises and your internet provider. If your premises has the NBN equipment installed already you could be connected within 48-72 hours. If your property has yet to have the NBN equipment installed you can expect to wait up to 3-4 weeks for a technician to complete the installation. It would be nice also i you can clarify this directly with your provider.

      I hope this information has helped.

      Cheers,
      Harold

      Hi Natasha,

      You’ve come through to finder.com.au, not amaysim. Amaysim is a mobile broadband provider that operates on the Optus 4G network. So long as you have access to Optus 4G, you will be eligible for amaysim’s plans.

      Thanks,
      Brodie
