Optus launched today its latest bundled offer - Optus Family Value Packs - proving once again that when you think of competition and great value for all Australians, you think Optus.

Optus Family Value Packs allow customers to tailor a bundled package of Optus 'yes' Fusion, Optus 'yes' Family Cap/iPhone Cap mobile plans and [optional] Pre-Paid mobile plans - and be rewarded with free unlimited standard voice calls within Australia to each other when all relevant services are combined under the same name and service address*.

Michael Smith, Managing Director, Optus Consumer said that greater flexibility and value in telecommunications services is what Australian families are searching for.

"It's no surprise families want products that offer great value and flexibility that benefit everyone in the family. So that's what we're giving them - the ability to continue to enjoy the fantastic value offered by our Fusion plans, our Mobile Cap plans and our range of Pre-Paid mobile plans, and get further rewards when they combine these all under the one account name and address.

"It's a simple solution but it seems we're the first in Australia to deliver this to our customers. We broke new ground with our iPhone Plans, our 'yes' Timeless plans and now we are doing it again with the Optus Family Value Packs.

"Families can now talk to each other as much as they like, with the customised Home Phone, Broadband and Mobile plans. A simple four step process will allow our customers to link their services to take advantage of the Family Value Pack call benefits - and who wouldn't like something that helps families stay closer together," Mr Smith said.

Optus customers can visit www.optus.com.au/gurus and take advantage of the free Savings Calculator - which will help advise them about the most suitable plans to suit their family's requirements, or customers can call 13 39 66 to learn more about the Family Value Packs.
