    I signed up to their 6 month plan with 150GB data. Did the port from Optus and was done in < 1 hour. I had temporary disconnection and downloaded the new eSIM from the Amaysim app when the porting was completed. The whole process was easy. I'm using the Amaysim service now and it doesn't feel...

    Optus new $50 SIM only with roaming

    I bit the bullet and ported out from Optus to Amaysim. Yes, yes, Amaysim uses Optus network. I am happy with Optus coverage domestically as I live in urban area, but not happy that they forced me out from this plan.

    Optus new $50 SIM only with roaming

    I received that email about Optus switching my plan today. Not happy! I’ll look to switch to Amaysim before end of the month. I’ll add the roaming packs if I need to when I travel overseas. Generally I don’t call or text while overseas as much. Just mainly some data to check google maps or...

    I cancelled my 28 Degress card couple of years ago when I applied for a home loan and never re-applied for the card. Fortunately, I still have the Boinge access and used it last month on a SQ flight for their inflight wifi. On the sign in to inflight wifi, login with your Boingo account and...
