Optus powered telco, Circles.Life has been slogging 100GB mobile plans at a discount for quite some time, and there is now sign of slowing down.
At the moment you can get 100GB for just $28 per month, for your entire first year with the provider if you use the code WHISTLEOUT100. Without the code you’ll pay $35 for 100GB for six months before the plan price reverts to $45 per month.
If 100GB seems excessive, the 30GB plan also comes with an additional 10GB of data per month, and a $3 discount for a year if you use the code WHISTLEOUT40. Alternatively without this code you can get 30GB for $15 per month for six months.
Circles.Life is powered by the Optus 4G and 3G network, so anywhere you get Optus reception you’ll get Circles too. If you’re still iffy about going with a telco outside of the Big Three, Circles offers a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee. New customers who are not satisfied with the service within the first 30-days can terminate the plan, and get a full refund. Even if you want to leave after those first 30 days, all plans are contract-free so you can cancel at any time without incurring extra charges.
Compared to other telcos, Circles’ deals have some of the best value out there, especially on the 100GB plan. The closest competitor is LycaMobile that sells 110GB (including 30GB of bonus data) on its $50 renewal, and Vodafone that has added 140GB of bonus data to its $50 plan bringing it up to 200GB.
If you do happen to find a better deal, you can always call Circles.Life and the provider will price match. But you’ll need to be an entirely new customer.
In order to be eligible to price match the plan you’re comparing will need to be at full, non-discounted rates, be a visible promotion on the telco’s website (so no third party deals), be SIM-only or prepaid, billed monthly, and be a no-contract plan.
The price match is calculated on a price per GB basis, so for the 100GB plan Circles charges $0.45 per GB. Where Circles.Life charges more than another telco on a comparable plan, the customer can either receive a match, or $25 credit upon sign up.
