Mobile Data Add-ons

Make the most of your smartphone.

Data Add-ons allow you to get extra data as and when you need to use it, so you can do more of the things you love online.

How do Data Add-ons work?

You can have a Data Add-on for as little as a day and you can manage your Data Add-ons in My Optus app, so no need to call us to make changes.

If you have shared data on the account, then data from monthly Once off Data Add-ons will be shared by all eligible services on the account. The Unlimited Data Day Add-on cannot be shared with other services on the account.

Once the data from the Data Add-on and any mobile plan data has been used, you won't be charged for excess data, instead your data speed will be slowed to a max. of 1.5Mbps with Endless Data. You can restore your data speeds by adding more data to your account in My Optus app.

 


Available Add-ons

Available Data Add-ons for eligible customers on all eligible month-to-month SIM plans.

Unlimited Data Day cannot be shared with other services on the account. See T&Cs below.

For all other plans, go to My Optus app or My Account within the Add-ons section.

 


How to purchase a Data Add-on?

To purchase one of our Data Add-ons or Unlimited Data Day, go to My Optus app or message us.

Do you need a 24 hour data boost?

You can stream and watch and play, and swipe and search and scroll. And your data limit will be the least of your worries.

Stream your way, unlock Unlimited Data Day now on the My Optus app. Enjoy responsibly.
