Follow the deal link to order a FREE Belong Mobile SIM. While you fill in the form, remember to enter a referral code in the Promo code section (get a referral code from OzBargain's randomiser below). When you activate the SIM, you will get a FREE $20 credit to use on any mobile plans (e.g. free 2 months on 1GB plan).

I can also confirm that you can transfer your number from Boost or Telstra to Belong directly.

Traditionally, you had to buy a SIM starter pack to get the $20 referral but with this method, it will cost you nothing.

For everyone's piece of mind, I sent a support request regarding referral credit and this is the reply I got

THE BELONG TEAM

Hi. Greetings from Belong Mobile! We received your request for assistance about the billing of your account. Let me help you. Upon checking, your account has a remaining credit of $10. The $20 referral credit has been applied already, and $10 of it was deducted today for your service from today until 19 April 2019. I assure you that your account is up to date, and for the next invoice the remaining $10 credit will be utilized. Hopefully, this clarifies your confusion. Regards, John @ Belong Mobile

Enjoy

    Does BELONG SIM suport 4G bandwidth only? I inserted it to my 3G only phone and there is no network. I found only disabled Optus and Vodaphone network in setting.
    BELONG claims to support "Calls and 3G data use the 850Mhz and/or 2100Mhz bandwidths." on https://www.belong.com.au/mobile/coverage-map. My 3G phone definitely supports 3G bands HSDPA 2100.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2019 - 20:59

      Telstra turned off 2100 MHz 3G recently so to use Telstra-based service you need a phone supporting 850MHz 3G or 4G. Figured that out hard way.

      • jussie2000 on 21/05/2019 - 22:12

        how do u find out if ur phone supports that? i have a LG v30+

  • DEvok on 08/04/2019 - 15:45

    Once connected can I cancel straight away?

    • chadiwrx on 09/04/2019 - 13:48

      No, not unless you want to cancel the service altogether.

      • atlinus on 11/04/2019 - 11:37

        How and when to cancel to avoid getting charge?

        They do not provide chat and phone support.

        email takes a long time to respond or diesnt respond at all.

        • wildweasel on 11/04/2019 - 12:45

          Create a support request (https://www.belong.com.au/support/mobile/manage-service/your…)

          Cancelled for me in couple of hours.

          Belong is a low-cost carrier, so they cut costs wherever possible.

          Another option is to port out to another provider.

          • atlinus on 11/04/2019 - 12:50

            @wildweasel: No plans to port out.

            With raising a ticket, they do not reply back even a confirmation email that it was recieved.

            I was waiting for my sim for more than a week without any reply from them and the sim was delivery after 1.5 weeks.
            thats the time i get na email asing if i recieved the sim.

  • itsfree on 11/04/2019 - 21:41

    Is there a particular date one has to activate the SIM by?

    • atlinus on 12/04/2019 - 00:11

      Not mention.

      I was able ot use my old belong sim which I order in 2018 as the sim delivery hasnt arrive for 1.5 weeks.

      They call me up eventualy as I sent them several request that they are not able to respond on email or havent heard anything from them and they active using the old sim over te phone. They knew it was ordered long time ago. so, I think the sim is link to your account when you order.

      I also notice when the new sim arrive, it automatically detect the referer when i was tring to activat therefore I could say the sim is link to the accounts and know who was the referrer when it was requested.

  • sauce2k on 12/04/2019 - 13:58

    i forgot to use the referral code the first time..now that they sent me 2 sims..i dont know which one has the referal bonus ..-_-

  • sauce2k on 12/04/2019 - 14:11

    lmao screw this..Figured out to get $20 credit u need to pay today ..I just to call them asking how easy it is to cancel and there is no support staff answering the phone….not worth the stress in my opinion..

    "To cancel your service, please contact us directly on 1300 235 664. We can discuss your disconnection options, make sure you're getting all the benefits available from your Belong service or address any problems you may have with your service."

    • atlinus on 13/04/2019 - 11:11

      That number is for broadband service, not for mobile

  • thefinalproblems on 21/04/2019 - 20:52

    WARNING- I ended up getting charged the monthly amount even though when I activated it stated there was a credit applied! After days of the website not working properly, I managed to see a message that said Introduce a Friend- Failed!

    • easternculture on 21/04/2019 - 23:26
      -1

      Username checks out

      On a side note, what may have happened is that the referral that you used may have ported out on that day you activated making your referral invalid, so may have been just a case of bad luck

      • thefinalproblems on 21/04/2019 - 23:46

        Genuinely thought this was a great deal until this happened.

        You may be right, but it could also be incompetence and/or intentional deceit on their end to keep people with them for longer.

        Opened a support request and have been going back and forth. They say credit is on there, I say my card has been charged, they manually change the system so $10 of credit is remaining, assure me it will be applied next round and tell me I was charged before the credit was applied,I tell them I have now been charged and used $10 of credit… To be continued I guess..

        Again it would have been a great deal if it had worked smoothly. Would be worth people checking their invoices to make sure they're not in the same boat as me.

      • thefinalproblems on 21/04/2019 - 23:47

        Sorry didn't mean to neg you comment.

      • Trung on 24/04/2019 - 17:04

        Or maybe they have maxed out their 10 referrals limit.

        • jowu15 on 26/04/2019 - 15:13

          Yes I have to try a few code to get one that is valid

  • Xizor on 22/04/2019 - 10:34

    thoroughly unimpressed by this. takes my credit card details then the stupid app never completes just gets hung been 30mins when supposedly setting everything up. rubbish.

  • paperkut on 23/04/2019 - 13:17

    Having the same issue of failed introduce a friend and now belong is asking me for a name, mobile number, and promo code so they can apply the referral manually. If someone wants a $20 credit could you pm me with your details?

    • paperkut on 23/04/2019 - 22:21

      Got one now thanks for helping me out! :)

  • realfancyman on 24/04/2019 - 13:25

    What's the deal with this?

    You must be over 18 to be a Belong mobile customer.

    Belong is prepaid no?

    • Trung on 24/04/2019 - 17:03

      No, it's more like a month-to-month contract with no exit fee.

      The month will be charged upfront until you port out or put in a request to disconnect your service.

  • peuwayaqdq on 25/04/2019 - 16:02

    Got my SIM some time ago and now I was about to activate … then reading all the posts here … it seems it is not worth the risk of cancellation issues?

  • apokalypsez on 28/04/2019 - 16:28

    i'm not recommended belong and think really hard, they are postpaid and payments are confusing, few post back talked about porting out and get charge which concern me most..most importantly no support.

    For love of god please delete belongs sims on prepaid section.. they are postpaid and not recommended and stay out of it.

  • apokalypsez on 01/05/2019 - 23:48

    as ozbargain always port out and in but for belong abit confusing..need to call belong? can anyone explain or give more details about cancel or porting out? tried to ask about this and didn't get the answer. 28th is new payment date or rollover date, thought of 2 weeks before that date to port out…in case they being an ass take more than 1 week…i heard need to port out 1 month before that or get charge.

    who port out-port in from belong care to share your plans?

  • Rodo on 07/05/2019 - 09:43

    I am one of those who have ordered a sim with a referral code but am hesitant to activate it. Would love a detailed explanation on how this all works and how to get the most benefit out of this deal. Anyone care to help?

    • easternculture on 07/05/2019 - 09:49

      Make sure you take screenshots throughout the activation. It will show $20 applied right until activation

      • Rodo on 07/05/2019 - 11:06

        Thanks but doesn't explain much.

        Is the following correct?

        • Don't activate on 4th, 12th, 20th, 28th of month. This will enable you to get double data within 8 days.
        1. Order sim with referral.
        2. Activate on 21st May on 1GB plan. Use paypal as payment authorisation method.
        3. Your account will be credited with $20 referral credit but initial $10 will be taken out for first month payment. 1GB data added to your account.
        4. Ask family and friends to sign up using the referral code from your account you just signed up with.
        5. On 28th May (your usual billing date), 1GB data added to your account but no payment required.
        6. Ask family and friends to activate the sims on 1GB plans (not on any of the dates I mentioned above). $10 taken from their referral credit. Your account will get $20 credit to be used for the ongoing monthly 1GB plan (which should last 20 extra months with 10 referrals).
        7. On 12th June, 1GB added to your account and $10 taken from your account credit as payment for the next month.
        8. Ask family and friends to gift any unused data (up to 3GB) for next 2 and a bit months to your account.
        9. You should then have plenty of data and credit to last nearly 2 years.
        10. Remove paypal payment method sometime after initial activation.

        Am I missing something?

        • NiteMice on 12/05/2019 - 21:40

          Looks right to me.

          Am in the midst of trying to do this now, and both my referrer and referee accounts have been locked out for about 24 hrs.

          I'm starting to worry Belong have decided to start cracking down on this stuff.

          • Rodo on 13/05/2019 - 08:40

            @NiteMice: I have not gone through with this yet, but you might need to ask here for someone to refer you. Maybe the OP?

            • SydneySwan on 13/05/2019 - 09:20

              @Rodo: The referral links are at the top of this page under the main post.

  • AussieMark on 15/05/2019 - 16:17

    I got the sim but no referral / promo code

    Went through it all and they want to charge me $10….

    Never got an email.

    Sad lol

    • SydneySwan on 15/05/2019 - 22:03

      You provide the referral code not Belong. You can get them by clicking the referral links at the top of this page.

      • AussieMark on 16/05/2019 - 00:35

        I already did that.

        The sim arrives and its now asking for $10 if I want to activate the sim…

        I already used 46868 (easternculture referral).

        So looks like I have to pay $10 to get the credit…

  • ilovefullprice on 09/06/2019 - 23:21

      • ilovefullprice on 15/06/2019 - 17:39

        Yeah this is really strange. I tried sending them a support request and they came back to say they don’t block any text messages and suggested it could be a problem with security settings on the phone or app I was trying to activate via text message

          i had this problem with vodafone years ago

          it caused a lot of arguments between my girlfriend and I haha

          I literally closed the account after they couldnt figure it out

          • ilovefullprice on 16/06/2019 - 00:02

            @AussieMark: Did you open another new account with Vodafone after that which fixes the issue or went with another provider?

              @ilovefullprice: swapped to telstra in the end.

              Vodafone kept asking for the numbers of the people that texted me that went missing but dont think anything ever came of it

              • ilovefullprice on 17/06/2019 - 08:33

                @AussieMark: Ok thanks. I was with Vodafone and didn’t had any problems. Now having this issue with Belong..

  • lonewolf on 18/06/2019 - 14:47

    I keep getting, there is an error when i try to finish the activation and using paypal…

  • lonewolf on 18/06/2019 - 15:11

    I signed up with a credit card and it worked and i had the referral code in there and it said i was getting the $20 credit plus the 40$ pack i used. But after signing up and going into the payment summary , my remaining credit doesnt have the referral credit in there??

    • SydneySwan on 18/06/2019 - 15:59

      It will show. It takes a few days.

      • lonewolf on 18/06/2019 - 16:02

        Ok cool thanks, I was getting worried for a while.

  • F1ngolf on 30/06/2019 - 16:46

    Received the Belong SIM using promo code from this deal. Proceed to activate SIM and on the final Confirm and Connect page, it says $10 will be charged today. No mention of the referral credit. What am I missing here?
    OP mentioned that this could be due to the referral code I used may not be valid anymore e.g. number was ported out or cancelled. How can I get a new valid referral code for this activation?

    • SydneySwan on 01/07/2019 - 04:42

      Click on the random referral link in the post header.

  • 11percent on 09/10/2019 - 13:54

    Amazing. Thanks op!

  • agoodtip on 31/10/2019 - 15:05

    I ordered and obtained my Belong SIM back in July but decided not to activate it at the time.
    Is it too late to activate it now? Do they have a 'use by' date?

    • SydneySwan on 31/10/2019 - 16:19

      So that explains the click on my referral that never translated into a credit! In answer to your question you should be able to still activate it. I am not aware of a use-by date.

      • agoodtip on 31/10/2019 - 18:49

        Haha. Did I get you as the referral?
        I have no idea what code I put in.

        • SydneySwan on 31/10/2019 - 21:41

          It is only when you go to activate the sim that you can tell who referred you.
