          WW has $250 discount on s10. It is better deal as you get free finance for 24 months.

          • lostn on 26/02/2019 - 23:28

            @PareshJ: If you do the math, it beats paying full price on the phone and having to buy a plan separately.

            But that is assuming you pay full price instead of waiting for a deal. By year's end, there will be a significant discount.

            If you buy it a month after it launches and pay with a CC that has shopping protection, you can wait till S11 releases and the S10 gets discounted heavily, and have the difference refunded to you.

            $844 for S9+ 256GB with Samsung EPP right now. That's how much I would have paid for the S9+ after shopper protection refund if I bought the phone outright, which would have been $1499. A refund of $655.

            So if you factor in hacks like that, you can beat the Woolies plan. But this will cost $300 for 2 years with Boost at 80GB a year on top of that.

            • katatoniq on 27/02/2019 - 02:36

              @lostn: Woolworths plan comes in $50 cheaper than going with the 150GB option and buying outright for $1349 and get TRS 10% and cashrewards 5% (eg. from Amazon).

              I'm probably going to pay the $50 extra just for full Telstra and AFL Live pass, even if it means 40GB less data over the year.

              • lostn on 27/02/2019 - 08:13

                @katatoniq: If you know someone with access to Samsung EPP, you can get the phone for 20% off on top of your TRS. The caveat is you won't get the preorder free Buds.

                There are people on OzB offering to buy the phone for you if you don't have access.

  • Mark365 on 26/02/2019 - 17:19

    Can you get free access on AFL NRL live pass with this? If so, How?
    Tnx

  • totalgadget on 26/02/2019 - 17:30

    In my work location where it is lower ground i dont get reception for voda and also for optus.

    Used a colleague telstra and can receives reception for data access. Planning to activate boost sim card with $10 for 3 days and based on coverage will decide but if it is good can i buy the above plan or is it for new customers only?

    Will this qualifies me additional 15Gb data as per the website.

    Also how good is roaming for receiving text messages? Planning to visit Singapore and india

    • Cluelessly on 26/02/2019 - 17:40

      From the looks of it, it's a new regular plan available for new and exisiting customers.

      15GB bonus data is for the 28 days plan (excluding $20/Mo), not for 365 plan.

      International roaming is available, receiving text messages is free, but for calls and sending text, you'll have to check http://boost.com.au/international

    • kwchaz on 26/02/2019 - 22:05

      Ongoing, I'm an existing Boost customer and it's visible in my recharge menu.

  • Juice08 on 26/02/2019 - 17:33

    Spent ages trying to do the calculations about going on a plan with WW mobile to get an S10 compared to outright plus the Optus deal … this solves a lot of my problems! Great post OP.

    • bargainfinder on 26/02/2019 - 17:47

      So are you keeping your old phone, or getting a s10 out right?

      • Juice08 on 26/02/2019 - 19:25

        Maybe just keep the old phone and wait until the S10 comes down a bit. The wildcard is do I need the free Galaxy buds and how much would they sell for from people who don't want them …

        • Mark365 on 28/02/2019 - 14:06

    • id on 28/02/2019 - 14:30

      Thats the way you go about it. Once activated you add the prepaid plan.

  • Owgasm on 26/02/2019 - 19:36
    +11

    Been sitting on this all day. Asked several questions in here.
    Spoke to the online chat people a few times.

    1. If you use all data before the 365 days is up. You can still use your unlimited calls/texts.

    2. You cannot add on any packages or data. (Good thing I asked a second time, first time the guy said yes and gave me a link).

    - you must “recharge” and in turn changes your expiry date and changes your sim plan.

    1. 15GB bonus on top of the 80gb/240gb before 13 May 2019.

    2. SIM cards can be purchased anywhere. Just ask for the $2 boost card. I went into Telstra and they gave me one free because they didn’t handle cash and I didn’t have my wallet :/

    3. Apple Music free data streaming only. Just as Telstra only does.

    • barnacle on 26/02/2019 - 22:09

      Now I’m more confused.

      https://boost.com.au/shop/150-prepaid/#the_fine_print

      “Boost Add-Ons: Active recharge is required to use Add-on. $5 Add-On Credit excludes content purchases. $15 Add-On UNLTD Int’l calls and texts to 10 eligible countries and International 100 minutes and 100 text to 40 countries excludes satellite, premium numbers and video calls .”

      What is an active recharge? Paying $20 to roam for 30 days with unlimited international calls & texts would be unbelievable.

    • OzFrugie on 26/02/2019 - 22:16

      say you buy the 12 months one, and half way you've used up all your data.
      you cannot add data to use? so you're stuck with mobile with no data for the next 6 mths (if dont want to buy another plan)?

      • Owgasm on 27/02/2019 - 09:23

        That’s my understanding

        • OzFrugie on 28/02/2019 - 21:54

          thats bit sh*t then

      • whyisave on 08/03/2019 - 23:11

        will you use all 80GB within 6+ months ?!
        wow.

        if you're worried, then get 3x more DATA, at 2x more cost then.

    • ATTS on 27/02/2019 - 11:40

      @Owgasm

      are you saying, we got to "recharge" with boost after the 365 ends?

      • Owgasm on 27/02/2019 - 16:03

        I don’t understand your question completely.

        However, after 365 days your sim cars will expire unless you “recharge” with a new “plan”.
        Let’s say in a years time this plan is available again, you would have to recharge with the same plan.

    • Owgasm on 27/02/2019 - 16:16

      I still wasn’t sure about 2.

      So I asked again, they said you can “recharge”.
      Say $50 gives you 55GB. You can add that on and your expiry would be at the end of your 365 days still.

      Sorry folks, either way. 255gb should be enough for me.
      If it works out that I need more. I will try to add more data and see how I go.

    • cheapies on 28/02/2019 - 11:34

      - you must “recharge” and in turn changes your expiry date and changes your sim plan.

      What do you mean by this? If I have the $100 60GB plan for 6 months and used all my data in 3 months, there are 3 scenarios from my interpretation:
      1. Do I have to recharge the same plan ie another 6 months for the extra data, bringing my plan to 12 months?
      2. Can I recharge an extra 20GB on a 28 days plan, bringing my plan to 6 months and 28 days?
      3. Can I recharge an extra 20GB on a 28 days plan, cutting my "contract" short from 6 months to 3 months & 28 days (assuming I recharge midway into my 6 month plan).

  • bargaineer on 26/02/2019 - 19:52

    Is the data rationed evenly over 12 months, or is it available to consume all at once?

    • bargaineer on 26/02/2019 - 19:53

      Oh looks like post above answers this :)

    • Kas on 26/02/2019 - 20:24

      yes, you can eat all at once

      • bargaineer on 27/02/2019 - 10:05

        To me this is a downside, especially if there isn’t a way to buy more data cheaply (without have to buy a whole new 365 day block).

        • hellbound on 27/02/2019 - 15:37

          Set a monthly data limit on your phone if you want to avoid using more than 1/12 of the yearly plan each month.

    Did anyone else notice that Boost advertises their network coverage to be better than Telstra's? 5 stars vs 4!

    https://boost.com.au/why-boost-mobile/

    Anyway I've ported from Vodafone. Took literally 10 minutes to port without issue

    • lovepub on 26/02/2019 - 20:56

      Better coverage than telstra? How?

      I wonder if someone buys out Australia's complete telecommunication including Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone ….then it would become a monopoly game….
      They can charge whatever they like…..is that possible?

      • Jamesx on 27/02/2019 - 11:09

        ACCC & Gov wont even allow that to happen

      • Wardaddy on 27/02/2019 - 20:11

      That's a customer feedback score provided by canstar, not how they rate their own coverage.

    • cheapies on 28/02/2019 - 11:26

      Maybe it's Boost full Telstra coverage (5 stars) vs Telstra wholesale (4 stars)

  • pharcyde on 26/02/2019 - 21:06

    • Owgasm on 26/02/2019 - 21:44
      +1

      To be honest, go to your local Telstra or potentially Woolworths. Easier and faster than ordering online if you’re going grocery shopping anyways.

    • KingJuf on 26/02/2019 - 21:45
      +3

      1. Buy sim card at shops (woolies, servo, big w)

      2. Activate online

      3. Select option to recharge whilst activating online with either $150 or $300 option

      • bleemo on 27/02/2019 - 10:07

    • Unbreakable on 27/02/2019 - 13:19

      I really hope so, that's why i'll be switching over to boost, when i buy a 5g handset but if the past is in indicator for future, then no, at first only Telstra customers will get 5g, and eventually Telstra will give it boost customers.

      There is $100 plan for 6 months with 60GB. Others commented above that you might be able to recharge it twice to get 12 months so this equates to $200 for 120GB.

      • Major Mess on 27/02/2019 - 01:41
        +1

        Though, as this is apparently the new normal pricing for the long plans you would be better off just grabbing 6 months so you are not locked in if a better deals turn up.

  • leyton01 on 27/02/2019 - 00:19

    Isn't it actually 95/255Gb if activated before 13/5?

    Apparently confirmed on chat above.

    Might be worth putting in the OP if that extra 15Gb means you are happier with the smaller plan.

      I'd say the chat person made a mistake. It looks like 15GB only applies to Anytime Plus plans (28 days/monthly):

      *15GB bonus data on $30, $40 $50, $70: For Boost customers only who activate or swap to Boost Anytime Plus from 26 February 2019. First recharge by 13 May 2019, with remaining four recharges by 2 September 2019.

    What happens when you go over the data limit and can you call 13/1300 numbers.

    The unlimited calls and text to India is very useful for my friend but I just need Australian text and calls to all numbers including 13/1300 numbers otherwise no deal.

    • i37 on 27/02/2019 - 06:46

      I think data stops until you recharge so keep an eye on usage. 1300/1800 seems included, they have exclusions in the CIS.

    • ATTS on 27/02/2019 - 15:36

      Curious. Why do they include some countries and not others? Is it due to costs?

      • Fexofenadine on 02/03/2019 - 12:23

        I suppose they wanted to provide even more of an incentive to choose the more expensive plan (for some people, those countries would be the difference)

  • Augh on 27/02/2019 - 23:54

    I purchased the Optus $180 Starter SIM pack on the deal and it was delivered yesterday, SIM pack is still unopened. I prefer this Boost deal for the international calls.
    Does anyone know if I can give the Optus pack to a friend? Is there anything that ties the SIM to me as I purchased it online?

    • Wardaddy on 28/02/2019 - 02:41
