Optus launches impressive MicroSIM (iPad) Data plans

Optus have announced their 3G MicroSIM plans to market, and the wait was worth it.

As if to demonstrate their knowledge of market demand, or perhaps in response to some of the feedback on Telstra’s own Data plans, optus have hit with short term and long term data plans.

Up to 186 Days validity for Data, which is 6 months if it lasts you that long. Impressive. And plans as low as 15 days.

Full details below:

Recharge	Incl. Data	Bonus Data (until 30 Sept 2010)	Total Data	Validity
$30 SIM Starter Kit	2GB	1GB Bonus	3GB	30 Days
$15	500MB	1GB Bonus	1.5GB	15 Days
$20	1GB	1GB Bonus	2GB	15 Days
$30	3GB	1GB Bonus	4GB	30 Days
$40	4GB	1GB Bonus	5GB	30 Days
$50	5GB	1GB Bonus	6GB	30 Days
$70	9GB	1GB Bonus	10GB	60 Days
$80	8GB	1GB Bonus	9GB	186 Days
$100	12GB	1GB Bonus	13GB	60 Days
$130	14GB	1GB Bonus	15GB	60 Days

Great to see some creative thinking on the plans, i think the six month validity is an excellent plan – well worth considering.
