Got a text saying My 16GB has increased to 23GB.

We’ve beefed up the data in all SMALL, LARGE and EXTRA LARGE prepaid plans, at no extra cost.

Here are the new data inclusions.

Kogan Mobile Plan Tier Before Upgraded To
Small 1.5GB 2GB
Medium 6GB 6GB (No change)
Large 11GB 16GB
Xtra Large 16GB 23GB

Users on Medium plan will miss out. The data upgrades will apply to 30 Day, 90 Day and 1 Year Plans. There is no data rollover.

The increases to data will also benefit new customers, not just pre-existing ones.

See here for the current December deals to save up to 40% off on 365 day plans

          at the time you posted, the link was there. Maybe click & have a squiz before posting snarky comments.

          The Op also said will update later i.e. they were doing what many do here (which annoys me too), posts a marker post, to get in first, then coming back to fill in more details later.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2017 - 12:55

        it'll be interesting if it's added at the end of the next 30 days, or the start of your next recharge.

        or maybe the marketing team have announced it before even telling the accounts guys, it wouldn't be the first time that's happened :-)

      Yeah, they were flogging off discounted 365 day plans around this time last year, so I suppose it's smart to get in early before people think about churning.

      • henrus on 11/12/2017 - 23:14

        too little too late!

        I've already churned to Optus. If they could offer another ~$125 deal again then I'd consider it as it matches the price of amaysim etc (anything over 1GB data works fine for me!).

        • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2017 - 07:25

          Yeah its a bit of a hike to $153.
          Which Optus plan did you choose?

          I see Amaysim does a $10/28day unlimited talk/txt + 1gb

        • henrus on 12/12/2017 - 10:42

          @supabrudda:

          Over the next couple of months, I'm doing a bit of travel so I just got a $30 starter pack for $5 and activated it on the long life plan to keep my number alive.

          In January I'll switch to the $10 Amaysim plan as it seems like the only ~$10 service with roaming and no excess data charges.

          The pricing works out similar but the amaysim international services are better in my opinion.

          Kogan - 152/12 = $12.67 per month for 2GB, Unlimited Calls, Texts and additional data $15 per 2GB's (an extra $15 per month for Intl calls).

          Amaysim 10*13 = $130/12 = $10.83 per month for 1GB, Unlimited Calls, Texts, additional data $10 per GB and the ability to roam and make intl calls (billed per call from extra credit that lasts 365 days).

        • apokalypsez on 19/12/2017 - 02:27

          didn't know Amaysims have $10 for unlimited Calls, 1GB is good enough but most important thing are Calls…i have few people and aware alot of people calls and Texts are requirements more than Net.

    • bargainparker on 11/12/2017 - 15:14

      I'd like to see how they would do it if it wasn't for the competition war. As you can see the Telco war is intensifying and Kogan was just a bit smarter.

      Agree! Not many of those around

  • currentfad on 11/12/2017 - 12:49

    Thought it'd be for the medium plan too. Anyone else got their data upped to 7gb after the free data we got on Kogan's birthday? However when I recharged it went back to 6gb :(

    • Carbon Door on 11/12/2017 - 15:37

      No

    • dheywood on 11/12/2017 - 16:26

      It was only ever 1Gb extra for 1 month only…

      • currentfad on 11/12/2017 - 16:46

        That's pretty weird. I have 3 medium plans in the family and everyone had 7gb for a few months, but recharging put it back to 6 :l

        See here: https://gyazo.com/5328080564c7b6802394cc0b4367c9a1

        • dheywood on 11/12/2017 - 17:33

          Yea it is :S
          My medium plan didn't change, but I had an extra 1Gb appear in my account for the birthday promotion with a 30 day expiry. It was listed separately to my normal 6Gb, so I had a 6Gb and a 1Gb 'data pack' added to it. I am on a 365 recharge cycle.

        • currentfad on 11/12/2017 - 17:49

          @dheywood: Mine basically added 1gb to the default allowance + 1gb to the yellow coloured data pack so I had 8 during the birthday period haha.

    The last few times Kogan has increased previous customers allowances. Glad I've stuck with them. Was thinking I could do with a couple more gig. Can't recommend them enough

    • Jorkus on 11/12/2017 - 13:01

      For real. Started on 8GB 12 months ago and now i'm on 16GB. Twice the original data allowance. Glad i re-upped for another year just last week.

    • scrimshaw on 11/12/2017 - 13:25

      Medium users will miss out. XL and Large will get big upgrades, and Small users get a 500mb bonus.

        • fozzie on 12/12/2017 - 08:40

          Yes if you don’t need so much data it’s a waste and at ozbargain we don’t like to waste lol. I just bought the M, coming from 1.5gb will be a dream :) No more constant switching data off.

        • CyberMurning on 12/12/2017 - 08:52

          @fozzie: agree but previously with 5.5gb sometime i still strugle. plus, people mentioned kogan uses different data calculation so you might end up using more after move to kogan

        • fozzie on 12/12/2017 - 09:16

        • Steptoe on 13/12/2017 - 10:55

    • Marrk on 11/12/2017 - 13:09

      The most data I have seen another carrier offer for $30 is 5GB, they probably think that they are safe sticking to 6GB.

      • Matslurpee on 11/12/2017 - 15:44

          +1

          I should have said Prepaid, that is a 12 month contract, and there is a whole Whirlpool thread on how Optus can't get the billing right. Charging people $40 instead of $30, charging $15 for the EPL when it should be free etc.

          It is a good deal if you don't mind being locked in for a year and are prepared for Optus to screw up the billing.

        • CyberMurning on 11/12/2017 - 16:29

          @Marrk: how is that optus a good deal? this kogan is just $20 for 16GB (365 days voucher, large)?

          we are not talking telstra so i think voda and optus are comparable.

        • Marrk on 11/12/2017 - 16:55

          @dragonindespair: There are situations where the Optus deal could be more suitable for someone, whether that is because of not being able to afford the Kogan upfront cost, the EPL access or unmetered music and video streaming.

          Need to find the article, though a fairly significant amount of Australian's rely on their mobile as their sole internet connection. So something like unmetered Netflix could be a huge deal to these people, who otherwise couldn't use a streaming service.

        • CyberMurning on 11/12/2017 - 16:58

          @Marrk: alright. not sure if $254 is high amount but yeah could be. unmetered music is kind of dud as you need premium spotify anyway. no video streaming afaik, yes optus sport

        • super8 on 11/12/2017 - 23:06

          @Marrk:
          yeahm, heard similar reports from my end too. I have a 365 kogan pack: bloody brilliant. havent had any issues and this data upgrade ensures I will purchase same again next year.

    so the large 365 days plan is $254.30 and we get 16GB, means roughly just $20.xx per month??

      This plan is for new and existing customers.

      It replaces the deal currentfad posted a few months back.

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/328203

      We usually put the deals in the forums when

      1. The deal is only for existing customers
      2. The deal doesn't require any action to activate (i.e you get it automatically)

      In this instance, like Currentfad's deal and like other Aldi Mobile deals, it's something that new customers can benefit from as well.

    • No on 11/12/2017 - 13:58

    In the year I signed up, my data allowance has increased from 12GB to 23GB a month without any action on my part. Was great value a year ago, and absolutely insane value now for $25.90/m.
