There are a few 'unlimited' mobile deals around if you agree to receive a monthly bill (post-paid), but I think this is the first offer on pre-paid, and the first for as low as $40.

For a $40 recharge that lasts 30 days, you get:
- unlimited calls to fixed lines in Australia
- unlimited calls to mobile phones in Australia (except Pivotel satellite phones)
- unlimited text and picture messages within Australia (except to Pivotel)
- unlimited access to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and eBay
- 3GB of data

Great offer for people who can't/don't want to sign up to a post-paid contract, and potentially a good replacement for a home phone.

Boost runs on the Optus mobile network.

Offer is said to expire 31 July 2011, but I suspect this is just a line in the sand, as mobile rate offers are often extended numerous times beyond their 'expiry'.

It's pretty self-explanatory, but the small print is here:

  Sounds good, whats the catch? I'd say after it expires later this year the plan will revert to something not worth while.

      Coming from Vodafail, that is most definitely NOT a negative thing.

  Seems like a good deal, however for those who also make international calls, PennyTel released these plans a few hours ago http://oz.pennytel.com.au/penny-sim/voice-plans (on Vodafone network).

  Is it just me or is that one of the stupidest site designs ever?
  Where the hell do you get them from? NO information at all about it.
  Then I go to get a "$2 sim" and the only link is to
  http://www.boost.com.au/register/free-sim
  which doesn't even work.

    That it is. I think you might have to head in store. Even their photos are hangcell packs.

  Also includes up to 3GB web (includes uploads & downloads) within Australia. Excludes content.

  Excludes Content. Yay!

    So what does it include? 3Gb worth of ping?

    • 

      giles on 15/04/2011 - 14:53

      I think the 3GB allowance is fine for normal data use (web browsing, email etc).

      I suspect 'excludes content' just means that you can't fund the purchase of ringtones, wallpapers, apps or other cost-bearing premium content solely from your 3GB allowance.

  would standard calls include 1300 numbers?

  Not quite sure how it is defined.

  I'm with TPG at the moment but this deal looks better? I wonder what the reception is like

  • 

    arthy90 on 16/04/2011 - 11:49

    reception is fine, runs on the optus network

  tHaMiR on 16/04/2011 - 14:35

  It states on there website that they have blackberry network support. Does anyone have a blackberry and are with boost? are they any good? coz Im really interested in moving.

  PS. I know they use optus network.
