The threat of $72/GB for data is soon to be a thing of the past for Amaysim customers.
Excess data has long been the major cause of bill shock for mobil customers. While many major networks have moved to a fairly standard $10 per GB charge for anyone using more than their allotted data allowance in a given month, low cost provider Amaysim has long been an exception.
Traditionally, Amaysim customers have been charged a rate of 7.2 cents per MB of excess data used, with the option of manually buying an additional 1GB data pack for $9.90. If you didn't proactively buy the data pack, bills could very quickly add up, with the going rate equating to $72/GB.
Fortunately, Amaysim unlimited and data plan customers will soon be safe from the threat of shocking bills for data overuse, with the MVNO announcing that it will be shifting to the industry standard rate of $10/GB on 13 March this year.
The shift is applicable to all postpaid Amaysim Unlimited and data plan customers who run out of data during the month. The extra gigabyte of data will expire at the end of the contract month.
Prepaid customers, as well as Amaysim customers on the As you go or Flexi plan, won't automatically be transitioned to the new excess data rate. They will still have the option of purchasing a 1GB data pack for $10, but any data used in excess of the monthly allowance will be charged at the 7.2c/MB rate.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
