    My Kogan yearly plan runs out next week, will be porting to Boost, better deals —>> 12 month $150, and 80gb over the year.

    • +1

      Doh, I'm actually dirty I changed from Kogan to Boost, extra $50 and get 150gb over the year vs 80gb. 6gb a month is cutting it fine

      • +16

        Except that you're now on the Telstra network so get better coverage most of the time.

        You should've got the 6 month boost plan then… $200 for 120Gb over 12 months ($100 for 60Gb over 6 months)
        You'd get 40Gb more for $50 and still be on the Telstra network

        • My Kogan plan expires in July. What is this perfect Boost plan pathway that you speak of?

          • +4

            @gamesnepal: It's just part of their normal plans…

          • +1

            @gamesnepal: Hey bud.

            I have both a Kogan Plan for my phone and a Boost Mobile plan for my iPad fo school.

            The type of Boost plan you need depends on how much data you need.

            If you want 20 GB approx a month, you can do the 12 Month, 240 GB per year plan. But you get ALL 240 GB from the get go, so self ration your data. I think 20 gb per month is about right.

            If you think you need more, you can op for the 6 month 150 GB plan for 200$, which gives you about 25 GB per month plus the flexibility of only being in a 6 month prepaid agreement. Also extra bonus of free Apple Music streaming. - You pay $400 per year at this rate, but it’s just for 6 months at 200$

            If you’re more modest, you can just do the 6 month, $100.00, with 60 GB per 6 months - so approx 10 GB per month.

            In short, the data speeds are night and day. 70-90 Mbps average, peak and non peak, verusu 7 Mbps when the stars align and less than 1 Mbps in peak times

        • you're now on the Telstra network so get better coverage most of the time.

          That's a broad statement. that's only a benefit if Kogan/Vodafone coverage where you are was an issue. Ten+ years on from 850 3G, most people in the city wont see any difference, most of the time, and it's become almost irrelevant, day to day.

                            If you really lived down there, you'd know that all alcohol is banned in public areas.

                            • @jv: I do live down here, that's why I don't have to drink in public areas. BTW, it's not banned in all public areas. Alcohol is served in pubs and restaurants, you don't need to be sprawled legless on the foreshore, though many are. That's a revealing comment about yourself JV. Just sayin' ;-)

                                • @jv: LOL. Do you actually think they don't serve grog in the pubs on the Peninsula? Or that those hordes of sheep on the foreshore reserve don't have beer in their caravans? I'm ending the convo here JV. I admire you'r work, mostly, but this has run its course.

            @Ryk: I started on Vodafone back in 2004 when I was living in WA and swore by it. Now that I have been living on the east coast I see a lot of areas where there is no network.
            Also a recent trip to Tazzie proved to be a disaster on the Vodafone network. Thankfully my wife's Kogan plan ran out before we travelled and I changed her over to Boost.
            Telstra definitely has more coverage.

                  Let's make Voda great again ?

          • @Ryk: You're being downvoted but you're technically correct with your comments about the city. Vodafone have won a few awards for speed and availability in metro areas, even beating Telstra and Optus in Melbourne according to OpenSignal.

            Telstra still wins when it comes to non-urban coverage though.

    • Exactly.

      Boost currently obliterates the competition. It used to be that these Optus/Vodafone MVNOs gave you a cheaper price in exchange for an inferior network.

      Now the superior network also has the cheaper prices.

      Kogan and all the other MVNOs need to massively step up their game if they want to remain competitive.

      • +6

        Kogafone might technically be the "inferior" network but for city slickers like me, I've never had a problem, I'd much rather have paid the extra $50 to get double the data. I pretty much don't make calls

        • +1

          True. There are still spots in the data usage range where Kogan is better than Boost, but for large numbers of people now, you get the best of both worlds with Boost (plus international calls) while Kogan offers nothing.

          • +3

            @vetopower: The equivalent Boost plan of 20GB a month for a year is $45 more expensive. I don't see how Boost offers more value. (international calling is redundant with Skype etc).

            • @slinkster: Very true indeed, just received my 2 booster sims by courier, lightning fast delivery, only 1 business day, compare to kogan's sims took over 1 week to arrive. Unless Kogan do better deal to make me wasted $4 sims from Boost, otherwise me and wife switching away in 2 weeks time!

            • +1

              @slinkster: Can't say I would agree about Intl calling being redundant. Not everyone has or wants to use Skype. I call overseas all the time to Businesses, mobiles and landlines. None of these use Skype hence direct call is great (for me and several others I know). Makes Boost a fantasic deal for us.

              • -1

                @Borg: Man, get a skype account. Skype isn't just calling another Skype user. I call my 80 year old grandmother overseas on her landline all the time using it. Straight off my mobile phone using Skype. Boost is just not good value, sorry.

                • +1

                  @slinkster: But you pay for that i.e. Skype calls. Regardless, I dont want clunky Skype app on my phone nor need it when I can just call direct and without it. All good and each to their own and if it is your preferred method, then that's what counts.

                  • -1

                    @Borg: You wouldn't use $50 on skype, which is the extra you are paying with boost. Yep, agreed, this is a bargain website so just thought it was important to point out there are cheaper ways.

        • +1

          I really dont see how Boost is better. Kogan is fine for coverage and you get way more data.

          • @superforever: Also last time Dick Smith Ebay had 20% off I bought the 40gb/month Kogan plan (was 32gb/month) for $252. When Boost offers plans that are above 32gb for close to $20/month then that'll be worth looking at.

            • +1

              @spiff: This. I'm on 20GB/month with Kogan but needs to supplement it with cheap 2nd SIM for another 20-30GB a month. I'm going to switch to 40GB when my current expires to save me the hassle. The misus is on 80GB/month plan on Optus for $50/m and she's complaining about running out of data. Average data usage has only gone up, not down. Boost needs to up their data for me to consider.

              • @Bigboomboom: That's a lot of data. Wife and I are both on the Kogan 40gb and have never ran out.
                It's also our only source of data in the house so it gets used for streaming to TV and the likes.

                • @dan76n: Well I only watch FHD stream and since I have Pixel 2, I use data to upload all my photos at full quality which can be A LOT, to Google Photo for FREE until next year. I think my Google Photo folder is probably close to 100GB now.

          Actually, Boost is $142.50 (buy with discount Wish gift cards), but you are correct at that data point Kogan is better value (as I have already said).

              LOL. You can also get Woolworths Rewards points for buying Wish Gift Cards. Should we start counting them too LOL?

              • @vetopower: Why compare those two when there's a more comparable plan?

                Yeah sure I'll calculate the value of the points for you, it's not that hard. Woolworths rewards points are probably worth less than 0.5c per point, so let's be generous and assign a value of 0.5c. Buying $300 worth of gift cards will give you additional value of $1.50. I've just redeemed business class flights on Singapore Airlines using Velocity points to the value of >4c per point. So 500 VFF points is worth $20 to me.

                  it's not that hard

                  Actually, your calculation of value is wrong. If you would have never purchased a business class ticket for its RRP, then you cannot assign a Velocity point a value of 4c per point. By assigning a Velocity point a value of 4c per point, you are saying you'd be willing to pay $2600 one way for a flight from Sydney to Singapore (65,000 VFF * 0.04). Congratulations, you played yourself LOL.

                    You could pay 37% more for 95% more data. I understand not many people require over 20gb a month, but I'd think 6gb a month would be pretty low if you're under the age of 60.

                    I have paid for a business class flight in cash before, so your assumption is wrong there. Also using a short hall flight example shows your inability to comprehend the potential value of points.

                      I wonder if Boost's superior option appeals to anyone under the age of 60.

                      Let's have a look, shall we.

                      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/pages/mobile-plans

                      Oh, look there, 1064 upvotes. Yes, it must not appeal to anyone under 60. Very astute observation. Not convinced? Let's have a look at some of the quotes from this very thread.

                      1.

                      Not good deal. I am porting to Boost as well if Kogan can't do better.

                      2.

                      I totally didn't notice Boost's prices…they've always been pricier in the past and I just basically ignored them. I just recharged with Kogan but I might port over to Boost next year if everything stays the same.

                      3.

                      Switched from Kogan to Boost recently.

                      4.

                      I prefer the current Boost $150 with 80G yearly plan because I make overseas calls which is included whereas the Kogan one doesn't. I don't use that much data while on the go so Boost wins it for me.

                      5.

                      Too little, too late Mr Kogan. Ported from Kogan to Boost this morning on the $150 / 80GB plan.

                      6.

                      I'll be moving to Boost when my Kogan deal expires in June.

                      7.

                      I'm also moving to Boost. Better reception on road Trips, and free AFL streaming :). Ruslan sharpen your pencils!!

                      And to your other claim:

                      using a short hall flight example shows your inability to comprehend the potential value of points.

                      You actually have no idea what you're talking about do you?

                      Sydney to Singapore isn't a short haul flight.

                        LOL I love the way you attempt to move the goal posts.

                        Most people would accept the incremental cost of Kogan's plan to get significantly more data. Going for the 3gb/month plan is well and truly for those who would likely still rely on landlines.

                        Yeah a lot of comments here vouching for Boost's value but you're the only one that has actually attempted to back up the claim. Anyway I realise that the price points and data limits of the plans we're talking about are probably too different to even compare. The 240gb/year plan, I see your point on Boost's value in that. Again, if Boost offers a plan that gives at least 32gb/month at the $20/month price point, I'd seriously reconsider staying with Kogan.

                        I used the term short haul incorrectly. What I mean is you chose a flight route that represents poor value for points usage. Using Velocity points to go to Singapore isn't a great use, especially not for economy.

                      • @vetopower: Er, what happens at 60 to cause people to become technically illiterate? All the technology you use was invented by people who are now over 60.

                    • @spiff: But I DON'T want to pay MORE

          • @vetopower: Hey, can you confirm AFL/NRL streaming on Boost with which plans please? Just been on chat with Boost to confirm this and they said they don't!

          • @vetopower: Where does it say you get free sports streaming with boost?

        • Boost 240gb is probably a better deal than Kogan's 20gb per month as the data doesn't roll over.
          But if spending $300 you need to look at the Kogan 40gb for $315 as a better comparison.

    • I really wish I waited for the Boost deal. My concern is, when the 12 months is over, will they have a similarly good deal?

      • Worry about it then……its unlikely to go up in price?

  • +5

    I donot think this is a good deal.

    • +3

      Depends on your usage and requirements. WHile Boost offers 6-7 GB every month, my usage is around the 10-12 GB and just recharged on Kogan's 13 GB plan as its the best value for that data limit that I could find.

  • +6

    nit good like before. This price shown on website for half year

  • +1

    Not good deal. I am porting to Boost as well if Kogan can't do better.

  • +2

    I paid 154 for the 20gb deal a couple of months ago when kogan screwed up with the pricing

    • Yep, that was a killer deal. Too good to be true, and it was for the people who missed out after Kogan fixed mistake lol.

  • I totally didn't notice Boost's prices…they've always been pricier in the past and I just basically ignored them. I just recharged with Kogan but I might port over to Boost next year if everything stays the same. Crazy that I can get same price with more gigs on Telstra network…my my things have changed! I'll definitely get my family members onto it though.

      Exactly. We should be encouraging everyone we know to vote with their feet and leave Kogan until they step up to the plate and offer a much better deal.

        Do you work for Telstra or something? If you're not making international calls and you don't live out in the desert, then you even said so yourself there are levels of the Kogan deal that are better than Boost? But you're making out like this deal is hot garbage

          Australians have traditionally paid through the nose for mobile data.

          Finally mobile phone companies are starting to introduce reasonably priced plans. We should be encouraging further discounts and competition by actively supporting whichever company offers the best deal. Complacency is the enemy of competitive prices. Just look at Telstra, which relies on customer laziness to stay in business.

          The second Kogan starts beating Boost in all price ranges, which is what should happen when you offer the inferior network, I'll be the first to sing their praises.

      Same price with more gb's….. example?

        Yeah nah he's wrong.

    I buy the kogan 90 day $14.90 deal and swicth every 3 month between them and Catch mobile 90 days. I wouldn't go with their yearly plan

    • Hoping for some advice

      How does switching work when you may have a lag between switch?
      Do you switch on the last day of the plan or do you switch a few days in advance?
      Or can you dictate to new provider that this is the day I switch on: and again is that the last day of the previous plan or the day after?
      Do you have to take weekends or public holidays into account?

      • Every port I've ever done between any network, (on weekday during business hours) has been hours at most. Normally its less than one hour

        I have a dual SIM phone.

        What I do is i just switch on the last or second last day.

        Have both the old sim (currently active) and the new sim( yet to be activated) in my phone so your old sim will work until it is switched to the new sim. Given I have a dual sim phone, this is not an issue and any outage between the switch is very minimal, less than 30mins typically and again, having the dual sim phone means i don't need to worry about when the actual switch happens and when it does happen, i chuck out the old sim when convenient.

        And of course time it so you are not out for a weekend if your old sim expires on a non-work day. Again, dual sim phone very handy… I have a backup data sim so you can still communicate with people via whatssapp etc and still can receive calls from your old sim eventhough you cant make outgoing calls.

        only need to switch 3 times a year so not bad for the effort

      • What happens to your number if you port out on the day after?
        ie plan no longer active.

        • +1

          Nothin happens, you just cant make outgoing calls/sms/no data. you can still receive them. Thats why I have a backup data sim/365 day long expiry if shit hits the fan.

        • You keep your number. You normally get a few week's grace.

      • +1

        optus and their MVNOs are the slowest, maybe allow several hours.
        Telstra and Vodafone porting can be 6-12 minutes, maybe allow an hour and be pleasantly surprised.

    • The $14.90 is a promo price, though, yeah? Does it always drop to $14.90 every six months?

      That's pretty damn great if you can consistently switch between the two at $5 per month!

      • +2

        usually you can buy them in advance which has like 2 month expiry and i've been doing this for 1.5 years now and always theres a deal that comes up within 3months. You can even be more extreme and do it monthly for cheaper but I cant be bothered so I do it per season.

        • +1

          Nice! I just locked into 12 months on Boost, but will have to consider it for when that expires. May get family onto it in the meantime (if they can be bothered!)

          Cheers!

          • @caprimulgus: Yeh its worth it if you can be bothered. Paying 60bux a year for the equivalent of 200bux value.

  • Just come off a year on Kogan where I got the 13GB deal for $180. But when I signed up it was 7GB if memory serves.

    One of those "get one month of XL free" promotions ended up turning me into a paying customer as I already had an activated Kogan SIM in my phone.

    The call voice quality and the menu system were not as good as Aldis but got the job done.

    After 6 months returning to Amaysim on Optus I aim to rejoin the Telstra network if the deals then work that way.

  • How long do these discounts usually last? I swear it is almost always this price? Which is good.

    • I saw the same prices on the website a week or so ago.

    • This one has been on for a while. You need the direct link as it is not shown on the Kogan website.

    Switched from Kogan to Boost recently. Boost 4G speed in Sydney area is way better than Kogan/Vodafone. Not regretting the move. (neither me or anyone in my family including pets are not affiliated with either telco)

    • +1

      Incluuuding pets, ey?

      That's exactly what a pet that's hijacked a laptop to promote its affiliations would say. You've just drawn attention to yourself buddy. Wait until your owner comes home to find you impersonating him and promoting Boost on the internet again!

    • Stat dec from pets please.

  • It really depends on your usage behaviour to determine if a deal suits you. I prefer the current Boost $150 with 80G yearly plan because I make overseas calls which is included whereas the Kogan one doesn't. I don't use that much data while on the go so Boost wins it for me. Unfortunately my Kogan doesn't finish till July this year so not sure if Boost still has this deal around at that time.
