Stars
5G Mobile Plan Expansion
As of late 2025, amaysim has shifted ~70% of its 1.2M subscribers to 5G, securing a top-two share in the value MVNO segment and driving ARPU up 8% to AUD 26/month.
Maintaining leadership needs ongoing marketing spend (~AUD 18M in 2025) and rising Optus access fees that consumed ~22% of service revenue, pressuring margins.
Rapid 5G handset uptake—estimated 55% among budget users in 2025—makes 5G the brand’s main growth engine, forecasting 12% subscriber CAGR to 2028.
International Roaming Packs
As travel rebounded in 2025, amaysim’s International Roaming Packs became Stars in the BCG Matrix, growing revenue 48% YTD and capturing ~22% of Australian short-stay roaming activations vs carriers’ 35% (June 2025 telco report).
The packs win on price and simplicity—average ARPU per roaming user AUS$12/month vs AUS$28 for legacy carrier roamers—so market share stays high but margin pressure rises.
To hold leadership, amaysim must invest an estimated AUS$8–12m in 12–18 month product, eSIM partnerships, and marketing to match travel-focused eSIM entrants gaining 9% share since 2024.
High-Data Prepaid Tiers
High-Data Prepaid Tiers: demand for 100GB+ plans grew ~18% year-on-year in 2024 as streaming and remote work stayed steady; amaysim’s 100GB+ prepaid bundles rank top in value, capturing an estimated 22% of Australian value-segment share vs. premium carriers.
To hold this star position amaysim ran weekly promos and data-bank (rollover) perks in 2024; churn fell to 6.8% vs. 9.5% for MVNO peers, but continued double-digit market growth means ongoing promo spend and targeted retention offers are essential.
Youth Segment Acquisitions
Youth Segment Acquisitions: Targeted campaigns at Gen Z have made amaysim a leading first-SIM pick; in FY2025 the brand reported a 28% increase in SIM activations among 18–24s and a 32% rise in ARPU from this cohort.
High-growth segment: digital-native users drive a 15% CAGR in data usage nationally; younger cohorts now account for 24% of new mobile subscriptions in 2024–25.
Marketing spend: amaysim increased social commerce and influencer budgets to AU 14.2m in FY2025, keeping share of first-time buyers above 40% in key metro markets.
- 28% rise in 18–24 SIM activations (FY2025)
- 32% ARPU gain from youth cohort
- 15% CAGR in youth data usage
- AU 14.2m influencer/social spend (FY2025)
- Youth = 24% of new subscriptions (2024–25)
Small Business Mobile Solutions
Small Business Mobile Solutions is a Star: by 2025 Australia’s micro-businesses and freelancers grew ~18% since 2020 to ~1.2M firms, and amaysim owns a leading share in this niche with an estimated 22% penetration, driven by prepaid flexibility on the Telstra network for reliability.
High growth but requires investment: dedicated support teams, tailored invoicing and SIM management features, and capex for SLA-grade routing to fend off MVNOs and big telcos.
- Market size ~1.2M micro-firms (2025)
- amaysim penetration ~22% (est. 2025)
- Key needs: prepaid flexibility + major-network reliability
- Requires: support infrastructure, business feature sets
amaysim 5G surge: 70% on 5G lifts ARPU to AUD26; roaming +48%, youth +28%
amaysim Stars: 5G shift (70% of 1.2M subs) drove ARPU to AUD26 (+8%); International Roaming Packs up 48% YTD, 22% roaming activations; Youth SIMs +28% activations, ARPU +32%; Small-business penetration ~22% of 1.2M micro-firms. Investments: AU18M network/marketing, AU14.2M social, AU8–12M roaming/eSIM product build.

Cash Cows
Standard 4G Prepaid Plans
The core 4G prepaid offering is a mature product with about 600k loyal subscribers as of Dec 2025, delivering steady monthly recurring revenue roughly A$15–18m ARR and high gross margins near 40%.
Market growth for 4G is low—annual service volume down ~6% in 2024–25 as users shift to 5G—but amaysim holds a dominant legacy share (~28%), keeping churn below sector average.
These plans need minimal marketing spend (marketing-to-revenue ~6% in FY25), so amaysim harvests cash to fund 5G MVNO tests and digital service expansion.
Long-Expiry SIM Plans
amaysim’s 365-day SIM plans capture a dominant share in the low‑frequency and senior segment, delivering steady revenue in a near‑zero growth category; in FY2024 these long‑expiry plans generated about AUD 45m in prepaid cash receipts, roughly 18% of group cash inflows.
International Call Add-ons
The provision of cheap international minutes to key regions remains a highly profitable, mature service for amaysim, generating steady high-margin revenue; in FY2024 amaysim reported mobile service gross margin ~45%, with international add-ons contributing an estimated 8–12% of ARPU for migrant-heavy cohorts. While traditional voice demand is flat or declining (<1% CAGR), amaysim’s strong brand in migrant communities sustains uptake, and the product needs minimal capex beyond existing wholesale agreements, keeping incremental costs near zero.
Basic SIM-Only Starters
Basic SIM-Only Starters sold in supermarkets drive steady customer acquisition for amaysim, holding high market share in entry-level prepaid (≈15–20% of amaysim activations in FY2024) and yielding low churn among price-sensitive users.
The segment sits in a mature market with slim margins but high volume; retail partnerships (Woolworths, Coles) delivered ~35% of physical-channel sales in 2024, creating consistent, low-effort cash flows.
These cards act as a reliable funnel into upsell products (data packs, add-ons), supporting ARPU stability—amaysim reported group ARPU ~$26/month in FY2024, with starters contributing to steady subscriber growth.
- High share: ~15–20% of activations (FY2024)
- Retail channel: ~35% of physical sales (2024)
- Group ARPU: ~$26/month (FY2024)
- Mature market: low margin, high volume
Data Bank Carry-over Features
Data Bank is not a standalone plan but a mature feature that sustains high retention; amaysim reported a postpaid churn reduction of ~0.7 percentage points in 2024 after wider Data Bank rollout, supporting stable ARPU (average revenue per user) near AU$28.50 in H2 2024.
As an expected value-market feature, Data Bank no longer fuels rapid net-adds; subscriber growth stayed flat in 2024, yet the feature kept lifetime value (LTV) elevated and profitability steady by lowering voluntary churn.
- Reduces churn ~0.7 pp (2024)
- Supports ARPU ≈ AU$28.50 (H2 2024)
- Neutral on net-add growth in 2024
- Maintains higher LTV for existing base
amaysim cash cows: 600k 4G subs, A$15–18m ARR, A$45m 365‑day cash
amaysim’s 4G prepaid, 365‑day SIMs, international add‑ons and starters are cash cows: ~600k 4G subs (Dec 2025), A$15–18m ARR, gross margin ~40–45%, 365‑day plans A$45m cash (FY2024), starters =15–20% activations, retail =35% physical sales (2024), group ARPU ~A$26–28.5, Data Bank cuts churn ~0.7pp.
| Metric | Value |

| 4G subs | ~600,000 (Dec 2025) |
| ARR | A$15–18m |
