Wireless Plans - Optus 3G Wireless - Prepaid plans
Prepaid plans are time-based, ie you pay for the number of hours of access you need in a 30 day or 60 day period. 

A Prepaid plan may be more useful to you than a Monthly plan if the amount of data or time you are likely to use in a 30 day period is unpredictable. With a prepaid plan, within the number of hours access you have purchased and within the expiry period of the plan, you may use any amount of data up to 6 GB each 30 days. 

Prepaid plans:
plan name included time
amount
plan cost expiry plan suspended once data used in any 30 days reaches*
3GWP-20H 20 hours $27.50 30 days 6 GB
 3GWP-40H  40 hours $35.00 30 days 6 GB
3GWP-60H 60 hours $60.00 60 days 6 GB
3GWP-80H 80 hours $80.00 60 days 6 GB

*data usage includes both uploads and downloads

At a glance, this is how the prepaid plans work:    

1. day 1 of your expiry period is the day your SIM is activated;
2. the plan you are on will be suspended when the included time or the expiry date is reached,  whichever happens first; any included time not used by the expiry date is forfeited;
3. a plan may be topped up at any time before expiry, or within 5 days after expiry;
4. a top-up purchased before the expiry date kicks in when the current included time is exhausted or the expiry date reached, whichever is earlier; in the first case, the new expiry period starts from the top-up;
5. if you purchase a top-up within the 5 days after expiry, the new expiry period starts from the top-up;
6. you may top up with a different prepaid plan or with a monthly plan; if you change to a monthly plan you are then subject to how the monthly plans operate;
7. At 5 days after expiry without a top-up, the plan dies - to continue you will need to buy a new SIM ($10 + postage);

6 GB Hard Limit: with prepaid plans you may use up to 6 GB data in a 30 day plan period, but once the 6 GB data limit is reached, the plan is suspended until the end of that 30 day plan period, regardless of any other condition above.
