Guys

Looks like Woolworths mobile fixed their system issues and it's now our task to test it.

Same as previous deal. Just that there is a limit of 1 pack per customer instead of 2.

update 9/6: seems Woolworths Rewards card now required in-store with limit of one per account

Update 11:25am: snappy1234 has reported the $1 sim card being available in store also. Check with your local store.

EDIT:
I have cancelled all the 4 orders($12) I placed early this morning via online chat.

Can confirm that it is $1 in store as well (Town Hall, Sydney).
Expiry date on the pack is 01/08/2017.

Limit of 5 per customer.

Proof: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/137114/40038/img-20160…

I managed to get 9 (went twice and luckily, the guy who served me initially was not there in the counter)

    • b0b1k0 on 08/06/2016 - 10:26

      I was in the same boat. Called them, gave my order number, and it arrived within the next 2 days. The phone rep also said that many people had made the same complaint.

      • tidie on 08/06/2016 - 10:48

        I called them yesterday, and then confirmed today that they are gonna resend two sim packs to me, apparently the last order was delivered to a wrong address. Hopefully it can arrive safely to my door…crossed fingers

        got both my packs as well, but they took almost a week.

    • babiguling on 08/06/2016 - 16:11

      @Tidie Have u spoken/online chat to/with them?
      What's the status of your order in their system. Just curious.

      • tidie on 08/06/2016 - 16:38

        I think the status is "delivered", but apparently I did not get anything yet

        • babiguling on 08/06/2016 - 16:39

          I see, thanks for your reply. =)

  • lovetravellinginbiz on 08/06/2016 - 09:48

    When does it need to be activated by?

    • chickens on 08/06/2016 - 09:49

      According to the last deal, 3 months of purchase, but when I received my cards it said it expires at the end of 2017, so i'm not quite sure.

    • nocure on 08/06/2016 - 09:56

      30th June to get double data (6gb)

    • xmas tree on 08/06/2016 - 10:46

      Just chatting with rep online, the sim has to be activated in a year. Seems now it aligns with sim expiry date.

      • illumination on 08/06/2016 - 10:52
        +3

        In a year, or by SIM expiry date? They are 2 different things. I think all of us received a SIM expiring Nov or Dec 2017 from the last deal.
        If it needs to be activated in a year, that would be what, by July 2017? But SIM expiry date means we'd have an extra 4-5 months.

  • T-man on 08/06/2016 - 09:53

  • nightelves on 08/06/2016 - 09:53

    Best to stockpile because I'm assuming this is a new batch with December 2017 expiry. Either way it's cheap!

  • decryption on 08/06/2016 - 10:02

        +1

        Don't need to use different name or card. Just place second order with same details. It's 1 per order, not 1 per customer.

        • dantione on 08/06/2016 - 16:25

          Yep ordered 20 online last time ($1 each, 2 per order, $2 postage =$2 ea) they sent express, in boxes of 10 labeled "send to customer service desk"
          8 online today (8 orders)
          1 in store first store, 14 second store (second store didn't limit)

          From what I've noticed, older stores without self serve checkouts have then on display, so hard to limit

    This is a great deal!!!!!

  • Crownie on 08/06/2016 - 10:17

    Is this plan based on 30 days or the sneaky Telstra 28 day plan?
    What 4G band does this work with?

    Awesome deal (again). Thanks for posting!

    • dingdong3000 on 08/06/2016 - 10:17

      according to website 30 days

      • Crownie on 08/06/2016 - 10:23

        I found that out in the critical summary.
        Still not sure about the 4G bands used.

        • Bullion78 on 08/06/2016 - 10:49

          @Bullion78: they know it is 4G. their question is what 4g band it uses. thanks for your effort, anyway.

        • realfancyman on 08/06/2016 - 21:44

          Same 4G bands as telstra.

    • jovialjosie2002 on 08/06/2016 - 10:22

      This is on the telstra network. Does your phone use 850mhz?….if not it's gunna be poor. If you have. Telstra approved phone it will work as good as telstra boost etc

      Yep 6 gig before June 30. Then I think it's back to 3, i am using it for overseas calls at the moment. $1,000 is about 100 minutes to Philippines. That's the cheapest overseas calls I have ever got to Philippines. Normally $0.10 per minute (Aldi). This deal is $0.03/minute. Ofcourse the deal sucks when the recharge is $30

      • chyawala on 08/06/2016 - 20:25

    cheers much needed, my windows 10 PC burnt through the last Woolworths sims (12gb) without me doing much.

    …..just wondering is there any gateway programs/apps that I can run to log the traffic ? Alternatively, it would be nice if i could access my own metadata and make use of this $400 million dollar (snooping) service.

    Interesting, that my Win 7 PC will use around 6gb in 10 days, with a similar usage the data for my win 10 PC lasts around 4 days ( I have tried to turn off the auto updating, but it always seems like it's upto something I haven't authorised it to do).

      You know you can set a wifi connection to "metered" so windows doesn't use data for updates and system downloads?

        But if you are tethering your phone with a usb cable or usb modem, there is no way of stopping the updates, Windows 10 sux.
        I went back to Windows 7.

        • nrg2010 on 08/06/2016 - 14:20

          ….kinda sucks, last time I rolled an OS back was from Vista to XP. That time I never got some of the drivers to work properly……….. So how's the 7 roll back working out? I might try the same, the PC came with 8 (which sucked) so I thought 10 would be better.

          I did a fresh reinstall of windows 7, takes some time but I would rather have control of what my pc does thanks very much.
          I'm trying out Linux Mint on an old laptop as I am sick of Windows controlling crap. So far it's been good, looks like this will be my next operating system when Windows 7 gets too old.

        • lostn on 08/06/2016 - 21:57

          Download WinUpdatesDisabler_x64.exe.

          I use it to prevent Windows from chewing up my bandwidth updating and also forcing restarts.

          I manually update once a month by disabling this tool, then run it again to block updates for another month.

        • hollykryten on 09/06/2016 - 08:27

          @lostn:

          All that tool does is change a setting in windows to disable automatic updates, which you can manually do yourself through a setting in Windows. No need for a third party utility to do it.
