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)

    Too late. Moved to jeenee for minimum 3 months and suspect I'll never leave

    • stockastics on 08/06/2016 - 11:25

      why not?

      • justtoreply on 08/06/2016 - 22:04

        As it's $18. There aren't many plans at that price if you don't want to hop sims constantly, and it's 2.2gb billed per kb + 4 hours of calls.

  • CGradeCyclist on 08/06/2016 - 11:25

    I've got a Telstra-locked phone. SO far, I've used it with a Telstra sim (obviously), and a Boost sim (which works fine, presumably because it's a 'Telstra network' sim).

    Does anyone know if the Woolworths sims will work OK in a Telstra-locked phone?

    Thanks! :-)

    • nightelves on 08/06/2016 - 11:27

      If it's Telstra it should

    • lovbargain on 08/06/2016 - 11:27

      possibly not

    • StrayfireX on 08/06/2016 - 12:23

      Probably not. Telstra/Boost use the whole of Telstra's network and Telstra Wholesale sells neutered versions to MVNOs like Woolies or Aldi.

      On the SIM card packet it says "uses part of the Telstra network".

      Tried this with a locked Lumia and an Aldi SIM last year.

      Things might have gotten better since the 4G rollout but YMMV.

          You never heard that before? Do a bit search in Ozbargain website in relation to prepaid sim card. You will find comments like that.

      they have record on all sim they sent out, if you call them the first thing they do is to cancel the one report lost. You end up getting nothing more but wait.

    I have some older email addy's that I can't remember the passwords for but other than an order confirmation & delivery advice email I should be good if I can't log in? (i'll record the order number anyway)

  • billy_bob on 08/06/2016 - 12:02

    Can you port from Boost to this and keep your number, because they are both on Telstra?

    • angelkulit025 on 08/06/2016 - 12:03

      I think so, like amaysim to optus but can anyone confirm?

  • strikerzebra on 08/06/2016 - 12:15

    Why is everyone buying this, do you guys seriously transfer numbers every single month based on what cheap started pack sim card there is on the market?

    • snappy1234 on 08/06/2016 - 12:16
      +1

      @strikerzebra
      I don't but i use it for cheap data instead…

      (keep my main number on Telstra for Play store use mostly)

    • StrayfireX on 08/06/2016 - 12:19
      +11

      $30/month x 12 months = $360

      $1/month x 12 months = $12

      Pretty much you waste 15 minutes a month to port your number to the next SIM.

      I wouldn't mind being paid $29 for 15 minutes work, it's a good ROI.

      • SnoozeAndLose on 08/06/2016 - 12:52

        not $12 as you need $2 sim between port or if you get free $2 then it is true.

        You still short for 5/6 days

        • snappy1234 on 08/06/2016 - 13:26

          @LoveBargain15

          No $2 sim required.

          Will not suit people that panic about their number etc, i just use a spare number for porting as i'm never without my main number for sms banking etc…

        • SnoozeAndLose on 08/06/2016 - 13:51

          @snappy1234:

          I am not quite understand you said that >Pretty much you waste 15 minutes a month to port your number to the next SIM.

          Are you porting your existing number to the next SIM or getting a new number every time?

          if you do need to port your number of course $12 is enough

      • strikerzebra on 08/06/2016 - 15:16

        That is good if you can handle the failed number ports, I'd hate to not have a phone for a day or two every month.

        • illumination on 08/06/2016 - 15:37

          You can just port a day or two earlier to give yourself some buffer if you really want. You're still saving money that way.

          @illumination:

          I just spoke to woolworth mobile support, the staff suggests I won't be able to port between woolworth start kits.

          I guess snappy1234 is right about

          Will not suit people that panic about their number

          Any objection on this? I'd like to know more. Thanks.

          +3

          @icecream:

          Yes objection.

          You can never port between starter kits of any telco. By definition, porting means transferring your number from one carrier to another. Main telco to reseller is fine (e.g. Telstra to Woolies, which is Telstra reseller) or reseller to different reseller is also fine.

      So the people who are buying multiple packs for the data are only going to get the 6GB on the first one. All the ones after that will only be 3GB (which is still great for $1-$3).

      • Limitless on 08/06/2016 - 14:16

        Yep keep an eye out online and then activate the sim you bought ages ago with the new inclusions.

        for instance bought a Boost $40 sim for cheap ages ago and if i activate it today i get
        Up to 16GB for $40 sim kit

        That's 3GB standard + 2GB every weekend + 5GB extra stnd when you activate by 27 June^.

    Picked up more in-store to go with the two ordered from the last deal.

    • BargainKen on 08/06/2016 - 13:57

      There's no "limit" per se, 5's just a good round number before people start asking questions. Most of the store staff seem happy with 5.
