It is also essential (for our own peace of mind) that they can contact us when ever they need us.

  • Optus

    I have purchased my granddaughter a Optus prepaid phone and sim for a reward gift. I love the idea that the amount of messages she can have and the value this sim has to offer. I only purchase update monthly and it is easy to purchase and very convenient it is also flexible and can be used for the whole family. I know I can purchase and forget it for a year with no worries. No I don’t like Selfies.

  • Great value

    I actually have this for myself! I am not a big phone user so a plan is too expensive at minimum $30 a month when I only call when needed. Now I have unlimited calls & 60gb data which is plenty for what I do. When my daughters get a phone this is the plan I will get for them also as great value for money.

  • WE BOUGHT IT!

    We trialed the Optus prepaid SIM for my son and found it to be extremely cost effective as well as convenient. During the trial we had many conversations about the prepaid sim as well as the features included in it and because of how much we loved it my sister ended up purchasing two of the prepaid sim plans for my nephews as well! It gives great peace of mind to know that for a whole year the credit won't run out and the kids will be able to be contacted.

  • Perfect for teenagers

    With a child in their first year of high school and making their way there and back, I was looking for a cheap way to keep in contact without having to pay a monthly contract fee. The Optus Epic Value Plan does just that! It means I know she will always be able to ring or text me and vice versa. It also has enough data for her to check key things like bus/train times when she is out and about. Perfect.

  • THIS SIM REALLY IS EPIC VALUE

    My 13 year old teen Chloe and I got the opportunity to review the new Optus 60GB sim and we are both so impressed! It’s so nice to have the peace of mind when she is out with her friends that she can contact us whenever she needs to without having to worry about data or credit on her phone constantly.

    With the 365 day expiry she is also not pressured to use the data in a short time frame which works well for our family as we do have strict screen time hours in our house.

    This is an absolute winner for any parents with teenage kids!

    The Optus $180 Prepaid SIM is great value for money. A whole year of unlimited calls and text and 60GB data means no stress of large monthly bills. It was really easy to set up and I had it working within minutes. My daughter is so excited to trial it.

  • Great value for money

    Optus pre paid SIM epic value plan is by far one of the best out there for teens. Optus has massive coverage Australia wide so you won't hit any blank spots and be unable to use your phone. Great for teenagers, and the price makes it great for mum and dad. Easy to use. And no lock in contract, that option is the best! So we can use it while we need it and stop when we don't. Highly recommend to all

  • Daughter trialled bought for my son too!

    I actually let my daughter trial this product because she has been nagging me about getting a better credit plan for a year or so now and I was going to get her one soon anyway. But because of how much she loved it and how cost effective it is, I bought my son this plan too and he loves it too!

    The amount of data and credit you get for a plan of this price is ridiculously good! My daughter loves this plan and is so grateful that she got a shot at trialling it because it is so useful for her and it is a fast and efficient plan too in terms of the data portion.

  • Setup so simple

    I was really easy to setup the mobile phone sim. Came with a tool to open the back of the mobile to change sim cards. My son installed it in a matter of minutes with the phone operating as usual. Just follow the prompts on the phone. Anyone can do it.

  • Loving the freedom of unlimited texts and calls!

    So far my son and i are loving this Optus Prepaid Sim. We found it extremely easy to set up which was fantastic as we are a busy family constantly running around to sport or other commitments. My son was over the moon when i told him he could finally have his first phone and it put my mind at ease to know that he would be able to text or call me at any time without the worry of him running out of credit. The convince of this prepaid SIM is second to none. I haven't heard of any other companies that offer a product like this and i find it to be working so well at the moment.

  • Loves his new Optus prepaid sim

    My son is loving being able to chat to his mates without me telling at him to stop or he will use all of his credit.

    His Nan and Pop are travelling Australia and now he gets to ring them and chat for as long as he wants with the unlimited talk and text.

    As you can see from the pic his phone is almost as good as ice cream!!

    This plan is EPIC and he agrees! A happy teenager is a happy household.

  • Best valued prepaid plan

    What value for money!

    My son is loving his new Optus prepaid mobile sim plan.

    We dont have to worry about recharging and it’s great that credits don’t expire and require you recharge every month in order to keep that plan.

    We live rural and have no issues with reception. He calls me after school and we don't have to worry about talking too long and using up all of his credit.

    Great plan, very happy.

  • A Pleasant surprise on value

    When I received the Optus Prepaid SIM, I found setting it up very easy, and I'm not very tech savy. I at first thought $180.00 what a lot of money, until I started to see the real value. I love the liberation the Optus plan allows, it lasts 365days to use. I like to check how much data I had used and was able to type a text to allow an update of how much I had actually used. To my surprise I had so much still available. The $180 shows the real value when you consider the phone calls, texts and data roaming I have done. This allows my son to keep in contact with me when Im out running. Well done Optus, and thanks MOM's for this opportunity.

    The Optus Prepaid SIM was really easy to set up. Within a few minutes, we had my daughters phone up and running. It is a great deal that my daughter is excited to test. I love the freedom of this plan and I love that it lasts a whole year.

ALREADY JOINED PURKLE?

  • I have joined purkle years ago and did make a fair bit of money back then when on mat leave doing a fair few surveys. But it has been years since I have used it so this article was a good reminder to get back on it and earn some additional money!

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

    Reply

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • i love sweet potato and this one looks delicious. i think even not including dairy (fore dairyfree people like me) it would still be delicious! 🍠

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

    Reply

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

    Reply

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

    Reply

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.
