    • If you do, you just phone them and they fix it right away.

  • Can we order from existing account for other people?

    • +2

      yes
      buying the sim is separate from activation process

      • cheers!

  • much appreciated!

  • Every month this comes out how needs Telstra and voda or even Optus AnyMote haha.

  • Thanks OP.
    I'm stuck on "finalising your payment with Paypal" popup screen. Anyone else experiencing this too?

    • No, purchased easy

    • If using IE, use Chrome or another browser.

  • Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can you use these in ipads?

    • +2

      yes, if your ipad has a sim slot.

  • just double check.
    This one will not auto renew, am I right?

    • +2

      there is an option during activation process to enable/disable it

      • +3

        No there isn't. Not during activation.

        You have to login after activating the service and turn it off from within payment methods.

        • +1

          ok, cheers, has been a while since i activated a monthly one.

          • @battler: No problem!

            Yea I think there used to be the ability to turn it off during activation.

          • @battler: You can't anymore, during the activation it forced you to enter CC details for a $1 validation check, and that details will apply onto your "Payment Methods" in your new account, always remember to delete that after first logon.

        • -1

          Can turn automatic renewal OFF during online activation … last step. If you do not turn it off will receive a big surprise!

          • +1

            @JediJan: So I think we've narrowed it down to either being able or unable to disable it during activation!

          • +1

            @JediJan: I'm sure you can't. I activated about 5 SIMs last month.

            Also kaikor seems to be experiencing the same as me.

          • +1

            @JediJan: You CAN'T turn automatic renewal OFF during online activation. That option not available any more. You have to login to your account after activation and disable it.

          • @JediJan: No. They changed it. As stated just above, you must create and login to that Koganmobile account AFTER activation is completed - and turn if off then under "Recharge" I believe it is.

            • @GregMonarch: it seems alot of mix up…after activated…turn off recharge on kogan mobile account?

              • @apokalypsez: After activation login to kogan mobile web site and disable it.

                I did that every month.

            • @GregMonarch: Thanks for the update. Had not realised they had changed the process. I only just activated another one last month and I feel sure it was still during the online activation process; final screen.

              Hope no one forgets to turn it off by mistake.

  • +1

    Thanks bought 10, need them for data up in QLD :)

    • +1

      I never thought to buy multiple, would that work???
      Youd have to be a new customer everytime?
      Would that mean you have to buy each one with a different account?

      • Same account works fine, just need to make separate orders. Last time with the $0.49 deal I bought two this way. The two sims arrived together in the same envelope.

        • +1

          Why separate orders? I just ordered 8 in the one.

          • @mooseca: I was thinking because of the new customer only clause
            If you were buying multiple to use month after month…

            Maybe i am missing something or thinking too hard

          • @mooseca: Ah, you're right, you can increase the quantity on the shopping cart page. Last time I was trying to find it on the product page and couldn't find it.

            • @Magic Mirror: I was worried you meant they might only send one sim or something haha. Glad that's all it was

          • @mooseca: Because it has always been the case, that multiple SIMs had to be purchased in separate orders. i.e. If you added 2x SIMs, it would say you couldn't buy them. So you'd add one to the car, complete the order, add another one to your cart, pay for that one, etc. It was still that way just a couple of weeks ago.

            • @GregMonarch: Ok… I just ordered 5x SIMs in the SAME order (which is new). AND ordered 5x of the $0/free postage SIMs in the same order too (without increasing the postage).

    • +2

      Bought another 10 myself, cheaper than Pint of beer

      • +3

        Lol at your username..

    • 10 maybe not enough since the expiry date of the voucher is 14/01/19. It's usable until 13/02/19.

      • Each one 32GB for one month and have to activate before 14/1/19 unless you need more than 32GB per month.

        • If you want to use it as the main source for daily internet, the bandwidth requirement maybe around 450gb for three months

      • I just bought 5 but you've convinced me.
        Going back to 5 more.

    • They won't allow you to register 10 at once if that was your intention.

      • only activate new sim when the current sim is running out of data. if you activate 10 at once, all of them will be expired in the next 30 days and you may have to stay awake each other night if you want to use 320gb of bandwidth in a month

      • They won't allow you to register 10 at once if that was your intention.

        I think you can but they will all start at the same time and expired in 30 days.

        • Do you have more than 5 registered sim cards is the question every time asked. Well, it's a gamble if you say no, but you do have and all are with Vodafone.

          • @bargainparker: [Sigh] As is always the case in these threads… If you activate 5x SIMs the site may stop activating SIMs for you automatically - so you then phone them - and they delete the earlier SIMs. (They ask if you won't be recharging the earlier SIMs - something like that anyway.)

            So you can activate 5 SIMs in week 1, run out of data, activate SIMs 6-10 week 2 (possibly requiring a phone call to Kogan for them to 'cancel' SIMs 1-5), then activate 11-15 in week 3 by phoning them again… etc.

  • +1

    Geez. How does Kogan make money out of offers like these?

    • +2

      Amazing isn't it, even 1c cheaper than macca's $1 frozen coke which you can finish that within 5 mins! This one last for a whole damn month!

    • +1

      By trying to impress people with their constant data upgrades (to even existing customers) and hence keep them customers for the longer term at full price(or at least more than a dollar given you can get BOGOF deals)

    • Share market values growth over profit. These offer may serve to create figures that show their business is expanding faster than it’s competitors.

    • Kogan reels new customers in from every low/free mobile SIM deal and then bombards them with marketing emails to buy other things. Thus, you know, the profit comes from other products sold. Obivously, Catch learns this from Kogan recently.

      • +1

        Very easy to opt out of their emails..

        • +1

          Yeah, it is a numbers game. Always some people bought something else or did not bother to opt out the emails.

    • +1

      It's probably Vodafone selling off blocks of data cheap to Kogan which they themselves have already paid/allocated for, but know they can't sell in time. And Kogan knows some people will recharge, (and some will forget to turn off auto-recharge). Kogan probably also has a bulk shipping discount with Aust. Post. So they're buying the data cheap, paying heavily discounted postage - and will pick up some recharges. They're not losing.

  • +1

    Hmm… I guess someone may have already mentioned it… what happened after 30 days? Do I have to cancel it in advance to avoid future billing?

    • +1

      Yes cancel it in advance

      • Forgot twice already and it keeps going, guess that’s what Kogan initially wants

    • +2

      Go to your account and cancel plus delete your cc details.

    • +1

      A couple of days after you activate it you can go into your account and UNTICK auto renewal and REMOVE your credit card details.
      Very easy to do.
      It is not a trick or a trap. If you forget to do it then you get billed for another month at full price.

      • A couple of days after you activate it you can go into your account and UNTICK auto renewal and REMOVE your credit card details.

        Actually you don't even need to wait a couple of days. From my experience, you can do it immediately after activation.

        • Correct.. I was trying not to be too precise :-)

    • You don't need to 'cancel' it…

      1. Right after activating, you create a Kogan account, login (it will ask you to change your pin), and click on the 'recharge' heading and delete the credit card and auto recharge you see in there.

      2. If you ported in and want to keep that same phone number, you have to port out again on the last day. You don't have to 'cancel' (apart from doing point 1 to be certain Kogan doesn't charge you anyway after porting out which some telcos have a bad habit of doing).

      3. If you took a new number upon activation - didn't port in - and don't want to keep that new Kogan number after 30 days is up… Then again, you just do #1, and at the end of the month/when it runs out of data, toss the SIM.

  • +2

    Awesome, grabbed 4 for relatives coming from oversea

  • Just Ordered another 2 for future use. Thanks OP.

  • How to be a new customer every month?

    • Call ur Centrelink friends to join 👬 ;-)

    • +1

      You can always order with the same account.

      What they mean new customer is the mobile number, if you don't port your existing number you are new customer.

    • Seems like you dont have to be a new customer…
      From their email with the code #…
      "If you are already a Kogan Mobile customer, simply login to your account, click recharge, choose your plan type, then enter your voucher. You will not need a new SIM Card."
      Is this true? Has anyone done this?

      • See comment by F1ngolf further down.

        • It still did not answer the Q.

          • @Cheeper: I just tested this out and no you can't use the voucher code to recharge. I get this message when I try to use the voucher on an existing number Invalid Voucher. But when I try to activate a new number with the same voucher it works fine.

      1. Order 2, 3, 4, etc. SIMs.
      2. Activate first SIM - port in if you want to keep phone number from another telco.
      3. Signup/login and turn off auto recharge and delete your credit card info (both under 'recharge' I think).
      4. At end of month 1 (or when SIM 1 runs out of data):

      a) If you ported into Kogan, you have to port out using a cheap SIM from somewhere else - probably a non-Vodafone and/or non-Vodafone reseller (e.g. Telstra) - then port back in again. NOTE: I'm not 100% certain on this. So use the ozbargain search function, arrange by post date, and read through the last couple of these Kogan deal threads. Someone asks your question nearly every time. So it will be answered 100% correctly there. i.e. I'm not 100% sure about porting out and back in again immediately. But this is how it works for other telcos.

      b) If you don't need to port in with the first SIM, and you used the new phone number provided on the SIM packet, and plan to continue doing that every month… Then on the last day of the first SIM, you go online, activate SIM #2, insert in phone/tablet and check it's working - then discard SIM #1. End of month 2, do the same again.

  • Can someone clarify
    If the Voucher expires on the 14/01/19

    Does that mean any and all vouchers you still have are now worthless on the 15/01/19
    BUT, if you activated them on the 14/01/19, you will still get another 30days of use.

    • yes

      that is why Im wondering why you would need more than one at a time…

      • i wouldn't need more than one at a time, but i might run out of data in 10 days and then need another one activate
        The phone number means nothing to me

    • +1

      1 correct, providing you are talking about vouchers from this deal.

      2 correct

    • +1

      yep any vouchers you hold that have the expiry dat 14/01/19 will be worthless on 15/01/19. however what you activated on or before 14/1/19 will last for another 30 days before the plan expires

  • Is it 49c or $1???
    Edit: Thought I saw 49c untill I looked at the revision lol.

    • Looks like $0.99 to me.

      • Thanks for putting in your… one cents worth.

  • For last one year, I have been switching my number between different cheap telcos with no issues. But whenever I ported to Kogan, "call waiting" functionality didn't work, due to some reason. Tried all techniques suggested by Kogan customer care but still incoming calls went straight to Voice-mail, whenever I was talking to someone else. At one point, they (Kogan tech support) "activated" call-waiting through their back-end systems but still no luck. So has anyone else noticed similar "call-waiting" issues with Kogan?

  • Cool deal, grabbed one for my cousin coming from overseas.

  • I'm struggling to use up the 30GB of data -
    network speeds are so slow I tend to switch to WiFi where possible.

    • All mobile telcos have fast and slow areas..

    • +1

      It screams where I am. If you can 'switch to wifi' then you're either: a) at home and don't need the kogan data, or, b) you're in the city where free wifi is available due to the large number of people around - so little wonder it's congested. ;-D

  • yes I was waiting for this deal! had 5 last time

    • +1

      Are you old? (Then you'd be a greedyoldyummycoot.) ;-p

      • Lol the username was made by a silly 10 year old me and I stick with it every forum 😆

  • Starting to get mildly suspicious of these deals. I love 'em, and have used them countless times, but is Kogan actually making any ground or profit in any way with these promos? 32GB + unlimited T&T is absurd for that price, and to keep churning it out like that..

    • One of the commandments of true bargain'eers.. never look a gift horse in the mouth.

  • +1

    The voucher I received said "If you are already a Kogan Mobile customer, simply login to your account, click recharge, choose your plan type, then enter your voucher. You will not need a new SIM Card."

    Does that mean existing customer can use it to recharge? Has anyone tried it?

    • +1

      The offer is for new customer only. You would get "Invalid voucher" if you try to use it to recharge existing Kogan mobile
      service.

      • That contradicts what it says in their email.
        The question is… has anyone tried it?

        • The Kogan email is a generic email. When you made the purchase, the offer clearly stated for "New Customer Only". The voucher code generated will only work for "New Customer Only". So there is no contradiction to me. To your question - I've tried before I post my earlier reply to teddy3000.

  • Bought 1 using PayPal and deactivated auto payments though PayPal settings

    • +3

      but when you activate the sim you provide your credit card details and Kogan enables the auto recharge in your Kogan acct. When the end of the month arrives wouldn't the charge go to your registered CC?
      Could be pointless disabling it in PP because that is just for the purchase of the sim and is not related to the activation of the sim.

      • Thanks for the heads up.
