Hi everyone,
I am currently looking to move away from Telstra Pre Paid after the latest changes with Google Play, and have settled on Woolworths mobile. Their last offer for the $30 starter kit for $20 just finished and so I messaged the Rep about a new offer. He has managed to bring forward the next offer due to start next Wednesday in-store and has put it online starting from now. This will also include the Bonus double data if activated before 2 Jan 2018.

$30 Pre-paid Starter Pack

SIM pre-loaded with $30 credit to get you talking & texting right away.

Includes:

  • 8GB Data (Includes 4GB bonus data when you activate before 2 January 2018#)
  • Unlimited standard national calls and texts
  • Data rollover~ (up to 15GB)
  • 150 minutes standard international calls to 10 countries plus $100 international credit for other countries+
  • Keep your existing number or choose a new one

Referral Links

Referral: random (353)

The referrer and referee will both receive a $10 WISH eGift Card. Referral codes can only be shared after 35 days of service and gift cards sent only after staying for at least 3 active months.

    Any idea of expiry date of the SIM?

    • nocure on 06/12/2017 - 17:29
      +2

      12 months, but will still activate after expiry

      • brick007123 on 06/12/2017 - 17:50

        So effectively no expiry?

        • nocure on 06/12/2017 - 17:50

          Within reason, I have activated after expiry.

        • tunzafun001 on 06/12/2017 - 17:59

          @nocure:
          I've got one expiring on the 21st, but my plan ends on the 28th. Did you just activate it normally online?

        • nocure on 06/12/2017 - 18:00

          @tunzafun001:
          Yep, no probs, got another 15, expired in August

        • illumination on 06/12/2017 - 18:02

          @nocure: when you say within reason I assume this means the system has the expiry built in, but customer service can override it?

      • Ringu on 06/12/2017 - 19:52

        so this $30 credit and 8GB of data will remain active for 12 months if the sim is not used to make calls, only to receive? all the sim deals i saw recently have a credit that expires withing 28 days etc…

        also, will you get a phone number with this? never tried these things before….

        • nocure on 06/12/2017 - 19:53

          so this $30 credit and 8GB of data will remain active for 12 months if the sim is not Activated

          once activated, you will get 30 days to use it

          @nocure: oh ok, thx, not for me then, i don't understand why they make the credit expire so soon, if i fill it up, it's up to me to decide how fast i use it up :)

    • edfoo on 06/12/2017 - 18:09

      However if you activate this $30 starter kit after 2nd January 2018, you will only receive its standard 4GB data, not the current holiday bonus 8GB data.

      • Pab23q on 06/12/2017 - 18:18
        +1

        If you activate before 2nd of Jan, will the next recharges you make continue to have bonus data? My understanding is that it goes back to 4GB.

        I'm in the same situation as OP but I prefer the Coles prepaid. Yes Coles uses optus and not telstra but $20 gets u 3GB and 35 day expiry. That's a big kicker

        • edfoo on 06/12/2017 - 18:28
          +1

          Yes, Woolworth rep at Whirlpool forum confirms this is a one-off holiday bonus. Not a permanent bonus. Unless things change again in the future.

  • arctan on 06/12/2017 - 17:45

    So no more google play credits from Telstra. Any other carriers have google play credit with their mobile phone plans at the moment?

    • illumination on 06/12/2017 - 18:02

      Pretty sure they were the only ones

    • edfoo on 06/12/2017 - 18:10

      No. No more double dipping mate.

    • ladis on 06/12/2017 - 18:11

      Existing subscriptions will continue eg Youtube Red, PIA, Office

        +2

        This discussion is out of topic at this site. Should head towards Whirlpool forum to discuss.
        Anyway Telstra carrier billing no longer pay for any existing subscriptions e.g. Netflix, YouTube Red/Google Play Music, etc. Even you have already subscribed to them before 3rd December. You can buy Google gift cards to add credit to your Google account to pay for these subscriptions though.

          I beg to differ about grandfathering but agree more appropriate to continue discussion on forum

        My YouTube red subscription is due tomorrow, but I am not confident that it will go through on Telstra credit. Many people on Whirlpool are reporting that subscriptions are failing.

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 06/12/2017 - 19:22

          Keep us updated. Woo Woo sent me an email saying that his subscription test succeeded after the 3rd.

          @MadMaxBargainRoad:

          My Youtube Red subscription failed this morning, so it is all over for me. I have ordered a Woolworths mobile SIM and will be saying goodbye to the big T.

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 07/12/2017 - 09:52

          @ridecwb:Have you tried to change payment methods and see if there are other Telstra billing listed? That's what Leon from Woo Woo suggested.

        • ridecwb on 07/12/2017 - 10:02

          @MadMaxBargainRoad:
          Just tried that and both Telstra options in my payment methods are now greyed out. It looks like it is over.

        • edfoo on 07/12/2017 - 10:34

          Thanks ridecwb, you are just confirming what we all at Whirlpool already know. I myself will also move away from Telstra once I have used up my remaining recharge credit.

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 07/12/2017 - 11:11

          @ridecwb:cheers mate. Looks like it's done and dusted. Ordered 2x Vaya sim from Groupon.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/12/2017 - 18:11

      It will be in next weeks catalogue and In store @ $10 from next Wednesday. He has however brought the promo forward online to start now, because I asked him nicely about any future promos and mentioned that everyone is leaving Telstra Pre-paid at the moment.

  • jackychen on 06/12/2017 - 18:21

    Just wondering how you guys use the starter pack if buying many? I assume we need to port out every 2nd month and port back in to activate another one? Thanks!

    Was paying $2 for those aysim ones, really hard to justify $8 more for an extra 3gb, giving the short bonus activation window. The 8 gig would be a good miss.

      This runs on the Telstra network. For some people its worth the extra.

    Haha kind of sums up the mobile market at the moment. People are looking at offers on Telstra besides Telstra to get a better deal on Telstra.

  • ruprectaus on 06/12/2017 - 20:27

    Can you port from Telstra to Woolies using this SIM ? I got caught with Boost where you are not allowed and must use a special 'SIM' you order from them.

    • watson4884 on 06/12/2017 - 21:35

      I don't think there's any problems( at least to me)
      been porting from optus/aldi,virgin, works fine

    • wfdTamar on 07/12/2017 - 03:12

      I went from Telstra prepaid to woolies. No problem. All online and quick.

    • sween64 on 07/12/2017 - 11:33

      Same as wfdTamar. The only issue the phone was locked to Telstra and it had to be unlocked to work with Woolworths.

  • Jared17 on 07/12/2017 - 00:19

    150 minutes standard international calls to 10 countries plus $100 international credit for other countries+

    Woah this is awesome

  • aussieprepper on 07/12/2017 - 08:00

    Okay I'm going to sound like pleb but in the past people have used starters kits to recharge. Any chance here? The free amaysim deal is ending soon.

  • NickFritz on 07/12/2017 - 10:48

    Can I downgrade to the $20 pre-paid plan after using this for a month?

    • sween64 on 07/12/2017 - 11:34

      Yes.

  • L0zBargain on 07/12/2017 - 11:06

    Also leaving the big T. F+ is useless now.

      If you port out and back in at the end of each month.

  • Pab23q on 07/12/2017 - 13:43

    I have been thinking about our dilemma with leaving Telstra and losing the OneDrive Storage. This is my Idea:

    Aldi PAYG Sim (365 Days) - $5
    Aldi PAYG Data /20GB (365 Days) - $95

    Have a group of 5?

    Office 365 Home Subscription (365 Days) - $85 / 5 = $17pp
    Get 1TB of OneDrive Storage to make up for losing 200GB with Telstra
    +
    60 minutes of Skype calls a month to make up for the Aldi PAYG plan.

    Summary:
    $117 Upfront costs (If you have 5 friends) which lasts 365 Days.
    20GB Aldi Data (1.7GB a month) on Telstra Wholesale
    1TB OneDrive Storage
    Office Included etc..
    60 Minute Skype Calls

    Now I just need to find some friends.

  • AncientWisdom on 07/12/2017 - 20:14

    Are Boost and Better Life the only full coverage Telstra MVNO?

    https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_carriers

    If that's the case then not many options for someone like me that was on F+ $30… Boost's $30 (4 GB, free music streaming) looks alright except for the 28 day expiry.

    Edit: According to Better Life they only use part of the network :-(

  • Matt86 on 07/12/2017 - 23:09

    Wow this looks amazing.

    Pretty much what I was looking for, for the same reasons as you.

    If I port my existing number to Woolies Mobile and use it for a month, then port again to another network for the following month (e.g. to Kogan), then use this Woolies Mobile Starter Kit again for the month after, and so on, would that work? I want to keep my phone number the same.

    Does this Woolies Mobile Starter Pack have expiry date? If so, when?

    If the above works, I will buy 6 to cover for a year lol..

        Where can u find the expiry date?
        I assume it's in the packaging if buying in store..?
        If buying online, does it tell u the expiry date?

        • nocure on 14/12/2017 - 01:02

          Date is on the back, don't panic they usually give 12 months and will still activate after the expiry.

  • Matt86 on 14/12/2017 - 20:34

    Anyone had any issues with activation taking some time? Currently been 2-3 hours so far and nothing..

    • Hogg on 18/12/2017 - 19:26

      Would also like to know.

      Bought 2 today. One expired 30/11/17 and the other is due to expire sometime this month. I won't need these until next year.

  • ifuggedxyz on 18/12/2017 - 17:46

      • Hogg on 29/12/2017 - 11:22

        There were only 2 left at one Woolies I visited and none at another. Also the sims that were left had shabby packaging.

    For anyone who had purchased this deal today was supposed to be the last day you could activate to get extra data.

    A check on their website shows that the extra data offer has been extended until 31 January 2018.

    • nocure on 02/01/2018 - 20:54
