Stumbled across a link for another $4.90 deal.

The advantage of this deal is the extended period (Voucher expires 28/02/2019 31/07/2019) you have in which to activate; so you can save it for a rainy day :)

Available for purchase until 31 January 2019 30 June 2019.

The only comparable voucher being advertised on the Kogan website directly is $49.90.

Also available @ Dick Smith via this link.

          There's a 26% difference across the average shade of Ozbargain, Kogan Amaysim, ING, Trump's head and Foodworks.
          There are 2 identical shades - ING and the top of the Foodworks banner.
          Trumps head is closely resembles Kogan with only 3% difference.

  • Make it so on 03/08/2018 - 19:08

    • Zedsdeadbabyzedsdead on 03/08/2018 - 19:10

      They post the sim card out.

      "How do they check if you're a new customer? Just by email address?"

      I'm not sure, anyone know the answer?

      • Username checks out on 03/08/2018 - 20:09

        It's for customers who are porting their number from another provider or creating a new number.

      • Ryk on 04/08/2018 - 18:05

        if the mobile number has been on their network in the last 40 days it's not eligible to activate using the new customer voucher.

    • RichardL on 03/08/2018 - 19:11

      Would it come with a SIM?

      Free SIM card included

      How do they check if you're a new customer? Just by email address?

      These can't be used on exisiting Kogan Mobile account. You would have to activate a new SIM card to be eligible as a 'new customer'.
      (I've activated a few of 'new customer' plans with the same email address to put into a Pocket Wi-Fi Modem)

      • Climber on 03/08/2018 - 19:14

        New numbers or port in, that's what I did in the past.

      • pennypincher98 on 03/08/2018 - 20:02

        Just a point to note, they'll probably send you around 3 SIMs for the one service. Clever marketing, but I just have all these inactive SIMs in their packets now.

      • apokalypsez on 04/08/2018 - 19:34

        How do they check if you're a new customer? Just by email address?

        i wonder this aswell..i thought exist kogan customers need to be ported out of kogan for 30 also days.

        new customers define by Phone Number?

    • Diji1 on 03/08/2018 - 19:14

      "New customer" usually means new service, not new identity. So you're new provided you aren't currently using a Kogan service.

      • nickj on 03/08/2018 - 19:27
        +1

        I've heard people say it has to be ~30 days or more to be considered a new customer. I've always used the same account (email address and password) with them, and have ported in and out of Kogan maybe 4 times using specials like these, and it works fine. So "new customer" probably means "you weren't with during the last X days", where X is some value like 30 or 28 or similar.

        • ja912son on 03/08/2018 - 20:10
          +2

          Porting out and in within a short period trick is not working anymore. It seems their online activation page can recognise the phone number you try to port in. If that phone number has been with Kogan within last 30days. It's showing "Invalid Voucher".

          First hand experience, wait for 31days and you have no issue activating it online.

        • DerpFactory on 03/08/2018 - 21:28

          @ja912son: I'm not sure if mine was within 30 days (pretty sure it was over 30) but the activation website failed with a generic error. After calling up they told me it was because my number had been used with them before but they let me go through with it anyway

        • BargainShopaholic on 03/08/2018 - 22:42

          @ja912son: same. It happened to me too. Next time I’ll wait a bit longer

        I've used about 1/2 dozen of these Kogan SIMs purely for the data (same user details each time ie. name, email address & drivers license), even had 3 'active' SIMs with 0 data left - when signing up, just select to choose a new number (ie. don't port your existing number across). Call their call centre when data used up & cancel the SIM, then just activate a new SIM card.

          @superforever: They have this checkbox when signing up where it says something like "do you have more than 3 active SIMs" or whatever - so I just keep cancelling the used ones.

    • GregMonarch on 05/08/2018 - 19:19

      As always with Kogan, 'new customer' = 'new account'… by anyone - including existing customers.

      You may have problems once you activate more than 4 SIMs in recent succession though. And mobile numbers ported in the last 40 days are ineligible.

        nice to know thanks.. i'm going to keep a track of the numbers and cancel then if I need to…

        • eggles01 on 04/03/2019 - 23:00

          Hi I would say the reason for that question is due to the fact that terrorists can rig their explosives to a mobile phone so they can call the number of the connected phone thus using it as a detonator,you may laugh and a few commenters on this site try to make a mockery of it,if in doubt contact the federal police and ask them if that is for real.

      Just FYI you can save $10/month by going with OVO instead of amaysim. Amaysim has 50GB for $60, whereas OVO has 50GB for $49.95. They use 30 day billing cycles which means you save a bit of money there too.

              1. How do you know exactly which of the 3x SIMs you were sent was tied to the voucher code?
              2. Not true anyway. Source: I've activated using SIMs that my friends had been sent by Kogan but using a voucher code that I purchased myself, numerous times.
              • Spending2Much on 10/03/2019 - 00:59

                @illumination: I keep a couple Kogan fee sim cards on hand, so when needed, I can buy and get sent the voucher in a few minutes via email and not have to wait for the sim card to arrive, sometimes over a week before getting here, before using it.

        • superforever on 04/08/2018 - 00:53

          @Droid11:

          I only use it for data so I always activate it with a new number with the same email address.

          Will use the new phone number to login to portal not email address.

        • GregMonarch on 05/08/2018 - 19:27

          @Droid11: Basically, new user = new account (with a different phone number). So if you want to port the same number in, you can only do so once every 40 days. If you only want a $4.90/23GB SIM and don't care about having a new phone number, it's not a problem. Although in the past SOME people have had problems activating more than 4 SIMs in quick succession. In the past I've personally activated 6 in the same month. Most of the people that had that problem found the way around it was to activate using a different bank account. Most of the few remaining ones phoned Kogan to activate. And I think I remember one guy couldn't activate after trying all these - or maybe he gave up too early - I forget now.

    • GregMonarch on 05/08/2018 - 19:37

      Sometimes they send an extra SIM card. If they do, you keep it for next time. i.e. When you order a SIM, the activation code is emailed to you shortly after paying. So if you already have a spare SIM, you can activate it immediately using the emailed activation code. When the SIM card they mail out arrives, keep it for next time so you always have a spare SIM ready. Since they only send extra SIMs every so often, you can do the same by requesting an extra SIM yourself once - so you already have one on hand. But I think they charge $2.

  • chatman on 05/08/2018 - 02:10

      I noticed this last time too. Appalling, but clearly one of the reasons Kogan is pushing these cheap prepaid plans. Of course the other reason is the copious volumes of marketing you'll receive from them if you enter any real contact information when signing up with them.

  • smc921 on 05/08/2018 - 13:22

    Is it $4.90 for 30 days for every ongoing top-up, or does it revert to $49.90 after the first 30 days?

  • KangaBanga on 16/08/2018 - 10:12

    Becareful when signing up, the option to untick autorecharge is no longer available at sign up screen. You will have to login to your account and click on recharge and remove your card and the auto recharge schedule in order to remove the auto recharge. Guess Kogan is tightening up their sign up policy.
