    I read comments that there were issues in the past with some Boost sims not being able to connect to 4G properly - is that with these ones?

    Picked up 2 nano sims from Officeworks early today, and there was one of these ones there. Didn’t even realise that these were 5c, but we needed 2, so just grabbed 2 of the new ones anyway.

          Boost is on full telstra network, but is it possible this sim is only 3G capable and that's the reason they're clearing it out for 5c?

          Couldn't see mention of 4G in product description, that's why i'm unsure of committing my 5c haha.

  • AsukaST on 01/03/2019 - 01:59

    why pay 5c when Telstra's is free? lol

        You can't and that is why you would pay 5c (or $2) if you want to go on boost and their recently released excellent plans.

          So I just ordered a free sim for no reason just now if I wanna signup with Boost Prepaid Mobile? oh man bad Taneda1988 bad..misleading

          • 4892 on 01/03/2019 - 02:39

            @AlienC: Yes, even though Boost use the Telstra network they offer different plans. AFAIK you can’t use a Telstra sim and sign up to the boost plans/service and vice versa.

            You will need to purchase a boost SIM card to sign up for the boost offers.

            If you don’t have an Officeworks close by you can pick them up from many places such as coles or woolies, the post office and most newsagents.

            • AlienC on 01/03/2019 - 06:21

              @4892: How much is it at coles or woolies.. 5 cents or 2 dollars

              • 4892 on 01/03/2019 - 07:37

                @AlienC: It’s $2 elsewhere which is the standard price.

            "a great option if you are wanting to port out of your current service and back in again"
            If you don't understand why we true ozbargainers port out and in regularly, then just go to bed early and get a good sleep.

            • AlienC on 01/03/2019 - 15:42

              @No ONE: The post which refers to boost mobile sim being 5c instead of $2 is a deal because of the previous boost mobile prepaid plan deal that has 800+ upvotes right now but what Taneda1988 commented about free telstra sim was not because current telstra plans are not as a good deal or a bargain so the comment was related but not relevant or really helpful.

              TL;DR free telstra sim is good but telstra mobile plan not so good. Boost mobile prepaid plan right now = good

        • Louis 90 on 01/03/2019 - 13:13

        • [Deactivated] on 01/03/2019 - 17:11

          It only rounds to nothing once there's $0.02 left. Maximum you can ever write off on this way is $0.02 per transaction.

      • [Deactivated] on 01/03/2019 - 17:06

        No. The split payment makes you pay with card FIRST, meaning that portion doesn't round down (only cash rounds). The maximum you can write off is always $0.02 per transaction.

    Thanks OP

    Can somebody please advise if there are differences between this $2 SIM and the one from Boost Website? (other than the size of course).
    We will be switching to this offer so wondering if these 5 cents SIM will work.

    Thanks

    • netsurfer on 01/03/2019 - 11:49
      +1

      Yes, the reason these are on special is because their expiry date is 30 May 2019. The store I went to have a few of these discounted ones and the newer batch (multi-fit) of SIMs. Also, these ones appear to have a prepaid number pre-allocated on the SIM (at least the packaging shows the mobile number - none of them has a good number anyway).

      It is not really ideal for me, because I was hoping to get one that I can activate Oct 2019 (on Optus Epic 180 plan, but really want to be on Boost one). Losing too much if I switch to Boost in May.

      Perfect for people wanting to take on the Boost plan right now.

      • fchis on 01/03/2019 - 11:53

    • Zazer on 01/03/2019 - 15:01

    Need to fill in the credit card details when for porting use? Because such as Optus has change their $2 sim activation policy last year(2017 still be normal for activation and recharging later), you have to choose a plan to recharge and fill in the card details. It must ban the porting purpose.

      Boost definitely has Telstra 4G. A few years back Boost SIM cards did not connect to 4G for some reason. If you have trouble with this SIM then just contact Boost and they will sort it out.

    Staff member pointed me to the SIMS, couldnt find one of the $0.05 ones.

    Asked them if they had any in stock, he reluctantly checks, they have 9.

    Try again, cant find it, check with the dude again and he says that they are probably sent back.

    Go home, put in click and collect order via website.

    Get SMS at 7.25am next day, pick up ready in its a paper bag with 2 printed receipts.
