Optus launched prepaid options for 4G mobile phones earlier this week, and has now revealed pricing for its prepaid 4G mobile broadband options. The basic dongle costs $169 and includes 6GB of data, while the hotspot costs $199 and includes 10GB of data.
That initial data lasts for 60 days from activation; subsequent recharges vary depending on what you pay. If you recharge online, you get an additional 15 per cent added to your allowance, which we’ve noted in the table below:
Costs | Data (store) | Data (online) | Expiry |
---|---|---|---|
$10 | 300MB | 354MB | 30 days |
$30 | 1GB | 1.15GB | 30 days |
$40 | 3GB | 3.45GB | 30 days |
$50 | 4GB | 4.6GB | 60 days |
$80 | 8GB | 9.2GB | 90 days |
$130 | 15GB | 17.25GB | 365 days |
The hardware is identical to that sold for Optus’ contract 4G. Rival Telstra’s prepaid rates are higher; its 4G coverage is broader.
