OPPO Mobile Phone Plans

There exists a smaller fan base away from iPhone and Samsung Galaxy Phones. It is dedicated to OPPO phones. Outside of Asia, the real buzz started not so long ago, when it had stepped into Western markets. It had been manufacturing phones for quite a long time, but its models appealed the customers due to its designs being similar to Apple iPhones.

The international success kick started with the ‘R’ series in 2015. Around this time, OPPO phones looked remarkably similar to iPhones. Unlike iPhones, the phones came with Android OS installed which granted much customization in terms of User Interface. Switching to Android meant, that the cost was greatly reduced and the focus could shift to specs more.

OPPO’s R15 and Find X series offer stylish designs combined with powerful hardware. The camera sensors are laden with AI and they are enhanced for taking optimal selfies and portraits. The handsets are suitable for the serious “phone-topographer”, offering incredible lighting and personalization sensors that target everything from faces to animals and sunsets. Right now, the R15, R15 Pro and OPPO A73 are available from a few telecoms. Optus, Vodafone, and Woolworths Mobile are offering great deals for users to benefit from on OPPO Phones.

Vodafone Plans for OPPO Phones

Vodafone customers can choose between the affordable OPPO A73 and the affluent R15 Pro. Since Vodafone has been separating its phone payment plans from its actual mobile services, it guarantees flexibility. The repayment options can be extended over to 12, 24, or 36 months.

This flexibility means that you can switch your plans as needed, without any adverse effect on your OPPO Phone repayment. With a new device, you can pair it with postpaid Red or Red Plus plans. Both of them include unlimited standard national talk and text and great monthly data inclusions. Vodafone Red Plus plans include unlimited data at 1.5 Mbps. Gone are those days when there would be extra charges for crossing FUP.

Optus Plans for OPPO Phones

Optus currently offers the OPPO R15 Pro on a two-year standard postpaid plan. Alternatively, if you decide to buy the R15 Pro on $65, $85, $105, $125, or $145 plans, then you won’t be charged extra. It means, that over your 24-month pricing, you would be paying $0 per month for your device repayment.

If this offer doesn’t suit you, then you can go along with R15 Pro on Optus’s cheapest $45 plan. With it comes a $10 of monthly down payment totaling to $55 monthly. For $10 more, you would get just twice as much data, so it would be a better choice if your budget doesn’t limit you.

All standard plans of Optus postpaid are available with OPPO R15, and it is inclusive of unlimited standard national calls and text. There are entertainment extras like data free streaming for music, Optus Sport and National Geographic channel. Some plans also offer unlimited international talk and text and up to 6 GB overseas roaming data per month. Below are some plans Optus offers OPPO customers.

Woolworths Mobile Plans for OPPO Phones

Woolworths Mobile hires Telstra network’s services to provide 3G and 4G services in Australia. It offers its users a choice of the OPPO R15 Pro, the OPPO R15, or the OPPO A73 on 24 or 36-month payment plans. Just like Vodafone, Woolworths Mobile keeps your phone payment separated. So, you can switch from your current plan to SIM only Woolworths plan without canceling your device repayment.

The same amount has to be paid by your side to Woolworths Mobile whether you choose the 24-month or 36-month option. Shorter is the term, more it is going to affect your monthly payment. You can pair up your handset with either of the four Flexi mobile plans offered by the telecom adjusting on the basis of design, cost and monthly bill. All the plans include standard international talk and text, international text allowances, and up to 30 GB of banked rollover data.

OPPO Phone Plans with Unlimited Data

If, however, you are concerned about excess data charges, Vodafone now offers ‘unlimited’ data plans for postpaid customers. The plans include a high-speed data allowance of 4G data per month and a slower unlimited data capped to 1.5 Mbps.

Vodafone allows its users to choose from the $60 Unlimited Red plan (with 40 GB of fast data), or the $80 Unlimited Red plan (with 80 GB at maximum speed). Both of these two options frequently feature special offers for users. They include bonus data promotions, including double or triple data; these deals will depend on what is the offer you are going to sign up.

Prepaid Plans for OPPO Phones

There might be an aversion with a monthly service like postpaid. If you think prepaid is the service for you, then you can go with OPPO A73. It is provided both with Vodafone and Optus’s prepaid service. You would need to buy the device directly and then choose your prepaid plan. As of August 2018, the A73 is available for $299 upfront through Vodafone. The same is priced by Optus at $259 with four down payments of $64.75.

Should you buy OPPO Phones upfront?

With multiple buying options available, it is not that hard to figure out the most suitable deal for you. However, as a general rule of thumb:

Buying Outright: This is a good option if you have enough amount with you to pay for the device’s cost completely at a single time. This also saves you from being locked with long-term contracts with your telecom or phone plan. You will own your phone immediately and be free to move out to any SIM only plan.

Paying in Installments: This is the way most Australians prefer. It means that you are spreading your complete device cost over the range of 12, 24, or 36 months with that specific provider. If you are okay with down payments and can manage your budget accordingly, then it would be no doubt of great value to you. If you’re okay with sticking to a single plan or provider and prefer a payment plan to shell out hundreds (or thousands) of dollars at once, this is worth considering.

Bonuses and Perks on OPPO plans

You might be rewarded with some great extras and inclusions on buying a new OPPO phone. But there’s a catch, not all telecoms and providers grant you the bonuses.

• Vodafone:  Many Vodafone plans come with Qantas Frequent Flyer points. There are also monthly international calling extras – up to 3300 minutes. The points are 20,000 and the countries to which calls can be directed to are some selected ones. Student discounts and current customers availing a new plan is another benefit while bonus and double data offers are frequently available.
• Optus: If you are a fan of mobile streaming services, then Optus includes data free music streaming service for its customers. Sports and National Geographic is also provided on some selected plans and the option to add data free Netflix and Stan for $5 per month. High-end plans provide up to 6 GB of international roaming data monthly and unlimited standard international talk and text.
• Woolworths Mobile: All the plans of Woolworths Mobile include an international text allowance. They amount to 200 per month on the Xtra Small and Small plans while unlimited on Medium and Large plans.
