Last Days: 80GB Optus SIM-only plan for $41.25 per month

Christmas might be over, but the deals aren't. Optus has extended its festive flash sale until January 13, which means you've got one more week to bag a bargain.

There are two SIM-only plans on offer. You can get a 50GB plan for $40.50 per month, or an 80GB plan for $41.25.

Yep, you read that right. You can add an extra 30GB to your plan for just 75 cents more. We're not quite sure what's going on here, but we certainly aren't complaining.

These Optus plans are both sold on a 12-month contract and include data-free video streaming for no additional cost. Optus normally charges an extra $5 per month if you want unmetered access to Netflix, Stan, and ABC iview. Not that you need it when you have 80GB per month.
