          I've always been offered porting in with Coles SIMs. In fact I don't know of any telcos that don't offer port in.

          @greenpossum: ok thanks

        • secondstory on 08/02/2018 - 23:15

          colesmobile.com.au/activate

          When I tried to activate online there was a "3. Your number" option to choose to bring your own number… but when I click "activate" button at the end it just throws what looks like a validation error with no info and sends me back to the 3 section and empties out the rest of the form I filled out and tries to make me fill it out again…

          @secondstory: The Optus activation pages are horrid. Everytime I use it I worry that it might use up the activation code and get no service, but so far touch wood. Just persist and do it again until it works.

          Also it will ask you to supply a CC for ID verification. I always decline that and use my driving license instead so that they don't have any CC details of mine and can't charge me by mistake, however tiny the risk.

    "Recharge by 07/08/18 on the Coles Prepaid plan"

    Does this mean i can buy this now and not activate it until August? I am currently on kogan 1 year plan that expires end of March.

    • jjjaar on 07/02/2018 - 11:54

      I'm not sure if they have an expiry on purchased SIMs and recharges. I would just wait until end of March to buy it.

    • GCSteve on 07/02/2018 - 16:13

      I suspect you don't even need to buy the special $180 sim card.

      After reading the extra information on their website it looks like they now have a $180/365 day/36GB plan as a recharge option.
      If you recharge $180 or buy the $180 sim pack and activate it before 07/08/18 you get the bonus 6GB as well.
      If you recharge after 07/08/18 you miss out on the 6GB bonus and only get 36GB instead of 42GB.

      Check their plans page to confirm the details.
      https://www.coles.com.au/our-range/our-products/coles-mobile

      and the CIS linked from that page (linked below to make it easier to find)
      http://smb.optus.com.au/opfiles/Shop/All/cis/Cis%20Documents…

    • secondstory on 08/02/2018 - 23:18

      The back of the packet reads "Activate within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised on a promotion". Since you're buying the sim standalone and then activating with the recharge I assume 30 days.

  • freakatronic on 07/02/2018 - 12:49

    This is a full $70 cheaper, with the same inclusions, than a year with Aldi.

    …is it worth the trouble of switching though…

      Haha my thoughts exactly.
      My ALDI Super Pack is due to expire in 21 days ….

      • freakatronic on 07/02/2018 - 12:51

        Lol I'm down to 20 days.

    • fryandlaurie on 07/02/2018 - 14:32

      I jumped to Kogan mobile.

  • ycon on 07/02/2018 - 12:50

    I'm confused- as the link goes to a $180 sim card, and my Coles told me that doesn't exist.

    Would be good to get clear steps OP- is this correct?

    1. Buy a $2 sim from Coles
    2. Go to https://secure-cm.com.au/cor/launch and recharge $180?
    • retiredfeline on 07/02/2018 - 12:58

      I wouldn't do that, the SIM has the credit attached. Just pester your Coles to stock them.

      • ycon on 07/02/2018 - 13:08

        Why- will it not work? I've already bought the $2 SIM

        • retiredfeline on 07/02/2018 - 13:09

          It might or it might not. And you've spent $2 more than necessary.

        • jjjaar on 07/02/2018 - 18:13

          You can just recharge the $180 online. Yes you've spent $2 more than needed but now the hassle of going back to refund the $2 will probably be too much effort.

    • carlenet on 07/02/2018 - 13:49

      If you'd read on you'd have found -

      "Coles Prepaid bonus data: Customers who activate a $2 SIM and recharge with $180, activate a $180 SIM or recharge with $180 on the Coles Prepaid plan from 07/02/18 until 07/08/18 will receive 42GB data (36GB + 6GBbonus) on every."

      • ycon on 07/02/2018 - 14:52

        Yes I did read that- which is why what greenpossum said has me confused.

        Really don't want to waste $180 here.

        Could I get some clarity please?

        • jjjaar on 07/02/2018 - 18:14

          It's showing as a recharge option for existing services. Just activate the $2 sim then recharge with $120 as opposed to 20/40.

        • ycon on 07/02/2018 - 21:01

          @jjjaar: Sorry- now I'm more confused-

          Why would I recharge only $120? The offer says I need to top up with $180.

          Can someone confirm?

          @ycon: that was a typo. I mean 180.

  • haru on 07/02/2018 - 15:56

    Why is the deal set to expire on 13 Feb?

    • GCSteve on 07/02/2018 - 16:34
      +1

      The deal was based on information copy+pasted from the catalogue sneak preview, is a bit confusing and their website has been updated since.

      They probably had the 13th Feb because the catalogue is for 7 days.
      The deal 6GB bonus expires 07/08/18 so that would be more appropriate as the 42GB deal expiry.
      The $180 unlimited plan with 36GB data appears to be ongoing without expiry.

      The $180 sim card doesn't appear to be necessary.
      The limit of 1 per customer doesn't make sense if you can just upgrade existing plans or get a $2 sim and recharge $180.

  • secondstory on 08/02/2018 - 23:41

    Has anyone successfully completed the online form for activation yet?

    It wont let me activate, keeps sending me back to step three with an empty red validation message box so I'm not sure what it's trying to tell me. From what I can see I've filled it out correctly.

    • retiredfeline on 08/02/2018 - 23:56

      Yeah, see my answer above. Just persist.

      • secondstory on 09/02/2018 - 09:43

        Thanks greenpossum. Still no luck this morning, now its getting to the second last step and sending me back to the start and empties the form. I'm quite sure I'm going to have nightmares about the ui when this is over.

    4G 700 very popular in my district. It's the only 4G at a lot of towers so I'm stuck with Telstra or Optus network. Voda still a fail.

    Really crap activation experience,
    Coles ran out of $180 recharge sim, so bought $2 sim.
    Try to activate online and recharge $180 online. Fails around 5 times, kept giving different errors ( used different browsers).
    In that process, Coles manage to charge(but pending), 2 * 0.01cent and 1 * 180 transaction to my CC.
    Have to call up to activate but they cannot take recharge
    Went with recharge via phone option, select $180 option, taking CC again, then said transaction fail. Amount exceed transaction limit.
    In the end recharge via website/paypal. LOL!!!!

    Never buy Coles Mobile if you are trying to port from optus to Coles Mobile. After 25 days of deliberation, calling DAILY and escalating through the TIO. I lost my number, and was told, that this issue will never be resolved. The are now offering a refund, but i have lost my number in the process. I had to call daily and only got some work done through TIO, and that also took 2 weeks. The optus team was fine, but the Coles support does not exist. You can not even get a refund from Coles. I took the sim back and they refused to give refund and call cole's care. Coles care doesn't work on mobile cases. Its a cluster F%^%**%^ and you don't go anywhere. All its done is that now i'll avoid Coles as much as I can.

  • Serpeant on 16/03/2018 - 18:17
    1. Does anyone know how long this deal will last for?
    2. If I purchase this deal and dont activate it, will it activate even after this deal ends?
  • acookie on 06/04/2018 - 15:53
