Got Optus? Have 12 months free Apple Music because why not?

Optus customers already have access to a number of things as part of their service, including free streaming from services like Google Play Music, iHeartRadio and Spotify. What if you want a free subscription to a music service, though?

Well, from today, Optus customers can now enjoy over 50 million songs anytime, by signing up for an exclusive subscription offering of up to 12 months of Apple Music free with various Optus plans.

The trial offer from Optus will be available to new and re-contracting Optus customers who purchase and remain on various Optus post-paid mobile plans. Once activated, Optus customers will have full access to Apple Music and can either stream their favourite songs over the Optus network, WiFi, or download for offline playback.

You might think that this doesn’t offer much to Android users, but you’d be wrong – Apple Music works on Android, too!
