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)

    Last time I ordered 2 times ( same name , same credit card , different email…) , I had 4 , activated one , pretty fast only use data , this time just order one , expire end of December, 2016.
    Woolworth did not tell me if I had bonus 3GB or not when activation( tale only 5-10 mins )

  • MJ1 on 08/06/2016 - 10:30

    Sorry for the complete noob question, but, can I use this Woolworths SIM as credit in Google Play? I just read https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/telstra_pre-paid_starter_p… but just not sure, as the SIM is not a Telstra branded SIM (though obviously Woolworths uses the Telstra network).

    These are the only T&Cs I can find:
    https://mobile.woolworths.com.au/content/dam/Woolworths/Mobi…

    Does the $1000 included calls apply to this offer?

    Also, can you keep the same number and port every 28 days or so?

    • bm on 08/06/2016 - 10:36

      Yes according to the FAQs

      • bm on 08/06/2016 - 11:08

        So to get the best value one would have to order a few of these, then I just wait for a similar $1/$2/$3 offer from another carrier and buy an equivalent number of cards and port monthly.

        • SydOzber on 08/06/2016 - 11:11

      No

    • SnoozeAndLose on 08/06/2016 - 10:40
      +1

      Starter is start for you to use for a month then you will need to pay for recharge this is the purpose of selling it $1.

      The answer is no

      • aec on 08/06/2016 - 11:34
        +2

        this means these starter packs and the numbers literally are disposable after 1 month use. what i often do is to carry two phones and set my main number as pay as you go (amaysim) and turn off the data. use the disposable 1m sim in the second phone.

        • SnoozeAndLose on 08/06/2016 - 11:37

          For Ozbargainer Yes it is disposable when the credit finished.

          But the propose of this starter pack is to get new customer to try using their network and keep recharging.

          @LoveBargain15:

          As an ozbargainer I have no idea what you just said.

          What do you mean I'm supposed to keep recharging?? This logic is very foreign to me!

        • SnoozeAndLose on 08/06/2016 - 13:55

          @illumination:

          I dont mean you have to recharge, I mean the propose for the telco company selling starter pack for cheaper price is to get new customer to try using their network and keep recharging, this does not mean that you have to follow.

        • illumination on 08/06/2016 - 14:15

    did any one try to port Telstra to Woolworths? how long it took? The question is because porting within same network, take longer.

    Any way to get longer than 30 day expiry?

    • illumination on 08/06/2016 - 10:56

      Top up again after 30 days?
      Lol nah I don't think so? And this starter pack can only be activated on one plan (because Woolies only have one plan) with a fixed expiry date.

There's even a wiki page for Telstra prepaid cards (both here and a more detailed one on Whirlpool) where the process is explained in granular detail.

          @Kaptn: sorry for the late reply, thankfully illumination has already clarified. It's $10 for $30 prepaid starter sims @ HN right now. Here is the deal link Telstra Pre-Paid SIM Starter Kit for Tablets $10.00 @ Harvey Norman

          @xywolap: Forgiveness unnecessary :). I'm here 5-6 times per day and specifically take note of any deal/thread with the word Telstra in it because of this rebate

        • illumination on 09/06/2016 - 12:00

          @PBG: I agree that this rebate is really awesome.
          I'm just kinda scared/worried that this will get pulled.. and for this reason I'm kinda trying to use up my Telstra SIMs first

        • tomclancy on 09/06/2016 - 12:16

          @illumination: I hear ya! I'm doing the same, trying to use Telstra sims first to lock in the rebate but I'm also trying to do it making sure to balance out the expiry dates of some other sims, as you no doubt are too.

          I don't see Rebatr being pulled, but if it did then there is another called T-Cashback which gives only 50% rebate, or a phoenix might rise under a new name… and in a worst case scenario if all apps are pulled then I think that would be enough of a catalyst for me to create & host my own super-simple "PBGer" private app which gets me (and my family, not my ozbargain family) 70% back. Heaps of easy methods to create basic apps out there, you don't need to be a programmer or know how to code. Plus your own personal app could be so well disguised it would be near impossible to identify and have little chance of being pulled.

          My two cents

    • lomie on 08/06/2016 - 11:03

      For me, instead of signing up to a month to month plan or go on contract for phonecalls or 3GB data, I get starter packs when they go on offer and then just change every month between Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Amaysim, Boost, and now Woolworths.

      isn't the offer till 30th June, what will happen if we activate it after 30th June e.g. 30th Aug, will we still get $1000 calls and 6GB worth of data. ( if I buy multiple sims)

      • Limitless on 08/06/2016 - 11:56

        Yes the sim expiry is different to the data bonus offer.

        • sajidmib on 08/06/2016 - 12:24

          so if it has expiry for an year, we can go ahead and keep porting in and out to get this offer of my 10 sims…. 30th June activation wont affect the sim

          all i want to know is I dont want to end up in dud sims with $30 credit (pay as you go) i need data and calls.

          well thanks

        • Limitless on 08/06/2016 - 12:30

          @sajidmib: You have to activate before the 30th to get the bonus data offer. If the sim expires in December then you have until December to activate it to get the normal inclusions in the $30 pack.

Just make sure to set the APN to mdata.net.au(You can find the information in Woolworths Mobile's FAQ page) in your pocket wifi's setting page.
