Optus is quick to take advantage of the recent network issues faced by its rival Telstra by offering limited-time plans for customers to switch over and try the Optus mobile network. Telstra customers have experienced four outages in just last two months.
Until 9 May, 2016, customers who sign up to a new postpaid mobile plan with a new handset on one of the latest My Plan Plus or My Plan Business plans on a 24 month contract will get the first 30 days of their plan access fees and handset repayments waived.
According to Optus, its offer will make it easy for Telstra's customers to port over should they decide to do so. All Telstra's customers have to do is cancel the service in 30 days and Optus will proceed to waive any remaining handset repayments if the device is returned in good working order with no cancellation charges incurred.
