How does it work?

For customers on eligible month-to-month SIM and Data plans

Unlimited Data Day is a $6 Add-on that will give you unlimited data to use for a 24-hour period from activation.

You can add a $6 Add-on every day, if you want. Keep in mind, there can only be one Add-on per service at any time. You can add an additional pack once the last one expires.

The data cannot be shared with the other services on the account.

Add-on usually activates within 15 minutes of purchase.

For customers on eligible Optus Prepaid Mobile plans

Unlimited Data Day is a $6 Add-on that will give you unlimited data and uncapped speed to use for 24 hours from the time of purchase. Actual network speeds will vary depending on various factors.

If you are on an eligible plan you can add a $6 Add-on every day, as long as you are within the active expiry of your current standard recharge. Keep in mind, there can only be one Add-on per service at any time. You can purchase a further Add-on once the last one expires. If you try to buy an additional Add-on in one day, you will forfeit any benefit.

During your Unlimited Data Day, your data usage will not be deducted from your standard plan inclusions, or other data Add-ons.

Unlimited Day Add-on can be purchased via My Optus app and usually activates within 15 minutes of purchase. Optus Flex Plus customers can also purchase this Add-on online.
