        Not really comfortable passing on my Passport or License number for $20

        • 18 on 10/08/2015 - 21:43

          Is someone having your license number bad? I mean, It's 8 digits, and the first 4 digits is the postcode… And your expiry.. is that dangerous at all?

          @18:

          Maybe its me but i dont think passing on my personal info (name, addy, license number , etc) to a company is worth $20, when im 90% sure that it might be sold to a marketing company sometime in the future.

          @DEvok:

          That doesn't necessarily mean that what were doing was "Legal". I was under the impression that, until recently a AMPTA form had to be filled out prior to purchase http://www.amta.org.au/pages/Pre-paid.ID.Forms. This has changed (2015) and now no information is required to sell the sim card, you only need information at the time of activation.

        • miq on 11/08/2015 - 11:33

          @DEvok:
          Sorry, you are 100% WRONG.
          Just because they don't ask for ID does not mean they are not legally obliged to. It's just the counter staff being incredibly lazy.
          Again, you are 100% WRONG.

        because one of the purposes of these free promo's is collecting personal info which is worth more than $20 to these companies for marketing purposes.

        • kapone on 10/08/2015 - 22:19

          For many free promos "yes", but this is a Telstra owned company who is trying to move people from competitors by giving them "the first hit free".

          Saying that, your personal info can be stolen from anywhere nowadays (looking at you Vodafone, had attempted ID theft as a result of an offshore employee harvesting customer info).

        • kapone on 10/08/2015 - 22:30

          @easternculture: Having worked in a call centre, I can tell you that dodgy staff still exist in Australia. The difference being the degree of oversight is a bit better (know of idiots working for a bank who reset passwords to steal money from customers via IB, got caught out almost instantly, complete morons).

          In the case of Vodafone however, after spending a week trying to contact someone at headoffice to advise them that I had proof that my wife's details had been harvested from their systems (there were mistakes with some details that I knew only existed on Voda's systems), I got nowhere. Several months later it's in the newspaper that details were harvested on a large scale.

        • kapone on 16/08/2015 - 21:34

          @astrodude: My bad. Based on experience with customer service, who transferred me back and forth between Telstra staff I assumed they were bought out by Telstra, but now see that they are just another MVNO.

          Does better explain why the website is pretty crap (the recharge pages aren't responsive on a mobile, despite the main homepage pages being mobile friendly, pretty bad oversight for a mobile company).

          I don't find it expensive. it's $40 a month for unlimited calls, txts and 3GB of data. how is that expensive.

          and it's BOOST not Telstra. they price differently

          @Utopian: he's passing the deal because he finds Telstra's rates to be expensive. This is not a Telstra deal.

    • kapone on 10/08/2015 - 22:24
      +3

      Telstra has always been, and will always be expensive. Boost however exist to try and get back pre-paid customers who got wise to Telstra's ridiculous rates.

      With Boost I pay $40 / month, get unlimited calls and SMS, a decent amount of data (with a free gig to use each Sunday, handy for letting the little guy watch some YouTube while I have long lazy brunch somewhere), and I get Telstra coverage. Only real loss is 4G, which is something I can live without given the price difference.

      In the regional area I live in, even Telstra reception can get spotty at times, and outside of the middle of town, Optus and Vodafone are useless (not to mention Optus suffering several day long outages on a few occassions).

      For now, for my needs, Boost is as good as it gets, even if it does mean putting money in Telstra's pocket.

    Security check
    You'll need to provide valid ID (e.g. driver's licence, passport) to the courier to complete the security check. For additional security you’ll need to provide the same photo ID you used when you purchased online. Once the courier confirms your photo ID you can take delivery of your order.
