amaysim sells prepaid SIM-only mobile plans, data-only plans, nbn home internet and phones in Australia, all on the Optus network.
Its biggest savings come off the first renewal of a new online service, so the plan length you choose at sign-up decides how much you get off, with prices in AUD.
amaysim is an Australian prepaid telco: customers pay for a plan up front and it renews on a fixed cycle, with periods of 7, 28, 184 and 365 days, so a long-expiry plan can cover a whole year in one payment. Unused data does not disappear at renewal, because the company banks it with no cap. Plans work on eSIM as well as physical SIM cards, and extras include international roaming packs, a Number Link feature and an online coverage map for the Optus network.
Alongside SIMs, amaysim sells smartwatches and handsets, the phones carrying a 24-month manufacturer warranty, and its nbn home internet can be bundled with a mobile plan. Complaints get a reference number right away, and amaysim says most are settled within 10 business days.
Does amaysim offer free shipping?
Yes. Phones and SIM orders arrive free across Australia, and a phone takes up to 5 business days to reach you.
What payment methods does amaysim accept?
Plans are paid upfront by credit card, debit card or PayPal.

Prepaid plans are paid upfront and renew every 7, 28, 184 or 365 days, and the ongoing A$35 plan gives 42GB per 28 days.
nbn internet
Home internet starts at A$30 a month for the first 6 months, then rises to A$70 a month.

Both of you get A$50 account credit, for up to 5 referrals per calendar year.
Data banking
Unused data rolls over with unlimited data banking, so a light month still feeds the next renewal.
Most amaysim savings are banner deals tied to the plan, not codes you type at the end.
They apply to new online services and come off the first renewal, such as A$121 off the 240GB 365-day plan or A$51 off the 150GB 184-day plan.
Sign up online as a new service to qualify, since the promotional first renewals are limited to new online services.
The referral credit runs separately: the person referring needs an active Unlimited plan with auto-renew switched on.
Bundle & Save adds 25% off renewals of an extra mobile plan, which suits a household moving a second phone across.
More ways to save at amaysim
A long renewal lowers the cost per day.
The A$320 plan covers 240GB for 365 days, while the ongoing A$35 plan renews every 28 days.
If you need a handset, amaysim has paired a SIM plan with A$550 off a Samsung Galaxy S26, and phones carry a 24-month manufacturer warranty.
Banked data also softens the choice of a smaller plan, because whatever you skip this cycle stays on the account.
