If your current plan is Prepaid, then you should make sure the date of birth of your number matches the detail you use to activate your sim card.

If your current plan is Postpaid, then you should provide the right account number for porting your current number.

Porting system does not work on Sunday and public holiday, to less your hassle, of our experience, the best time period are 8am to 12am Monday to Friday.

If you stuck in porting for more than 3 working days, likely sth is wrong. If you are in prepaid, Kindly check with your current provider if your number is registered under your name and the date of birth matches.

Please maintain your sim card of existing number in the phone and keep the phone switched on when you activate your new boost sim card online.
(it's important, if you missed the sms Telstra sent to you, your order will remain provisioning status Untill you call telstra to solve the issue.)

Telstra will send you an sms after you submit your activation order, it contains a link and a code, you need to click that link and input the code to be able to start the porting process. usually it takes less than 4 hours to port after the verification get approved.

Give Telstra Porting team a call if you believes your order get stucked. Their number is: 1800631334

    Can I buy this to transfer my number from Telstra? I know I have to request a blank Sim but don't know if that means I could only use a recharge instead of starter kit.

    • Associatedsanfans @ Southern Telecom on 21/10/2019 - 15:40

      no, it can't, you can only port non telstra/boost number to telstra when you activate this starter pack.

      • justtoreply on 21/10/2019 - 15:45

        What? I think your wording is off. I think you mean "don't buy the recharge kit"?

        I have used this $150 sim kit to transfer moosemobile, jeenee & Telstra -> boost, transferring the original mobile number with it. Telstra required a blank sim too.

        stiiky: buy this.

        Hi Southern Intercom,
        Can I port my number from Telechoice (being somewhat Telstra) to Boost?

        • Associatedsanfans @ Southern Telecom on 22/10/2019 - 10:07

          Yes, only can

          Only exception is Telstra, you can not port telstra number to boost or from boost to telstra.

            Seriously rep, be careful of what you write. Make sure it's correct!

            • rbaraz on 18/11/2019 - 18:28

              @justtoreply: I was chatting with Telstra and then they forwarded the chat to Boost, they also advised me I can't buy this and use it to convert from Telstra to Boost.

              They advised me I would have to change to Telstra prepaid first and then switch it to Boost. I think they will do that part from their end.

              They are sending me a blank SIM in the mail now.

              I need to know if I can or can't use the offer here to charge for the service once it's converted from Telstra to Boost and what's the process to do it?

              The boost people told me if I buy this offer here then I would have to use it with the new number that comes with the kit.

              I know for a fact if was buying this from Coles then they will offer me a voucher number which will be easy to follow to charge for the service on the new SIM that Boost is sending to me.

              • justtoreply on 18/11/2019 - 23:04

                @rbaraz: I bought a $150 SIM kit. Converted from telstra to boost via blank sim. I only dealt with boost. You don't need telstra staff at all. Kept my old phone number.

                I've done it twice.

                If anyone tells you otherwise hang up the phone and call back, maybe you'll get someone useful next time.

                • rbaraz on 19/11/2019 - 15:49

                  @justtoreply: Thanks so much. I got the blank sim today. I will go ahead and purchase this offer then.

                  Thanks for confirming it can be done.

                  I will work out the details when I actually do it.

    Massive delay porting to telstra/boost atm

    • MaMan on 21/10/2019 - 17:00

      Nope did it recently inside of a few hours. So long as you have been sent the blank SIM direct from Boost they will then give you the Telstra number to call and instructions on what to do. Atleast they did this for me.

      • Circly on 21/10/2019 - 17:16

      • MaMan on 22/10/2019 - 16:25

        Not sure why the neg? So having transferred one service prior from Telstra to Boost, again I purchased this deal yesterday. My SIM arrived today. I called Boost to port the number. They took my call inside of 30 seconds. Within 2 minutes I received a txt to enter a code to port a number this time from Spintel. 5 minutes later we are activated on the Telstra network.

        I have no idea why other people have such issues with porting and activating a service. It has worked flawlessly now twice for me.

        • vovka on 23/10/2019 - 16:00
          +1

          Took me one week first time (mainly due to inaccurate information provided regarding the existing mobile account). Second sim transfer was within 24 hours. People need to realize they need to supply all information about their existing operator's accounts as Boost won't check or chase it for them.

        Me also though 3 weeks now. Even got a promise of a call back from the port department 2 days ago. Told them to ring any time of night or day…still waiting. You might get your porting done in 15min or…the way it looks to me at the moment…never!

But porting team is pretty much useless as they have massive back logs and seems like they're incompetent. I was once told the team got replaced and team members aren't working at same site?? So takes time to resolve issue.. Lodged a complaint to TIO about 2 weeks ago but still the issue hasn't been resolved..

      If it does not go through in 3 working days. it's unlikely to work anymore.

      Telstra had major system upgrading a few weeks ago, and might still have issues now and then.

      Boost shares the same system with Telstra.

      If you are Melbourne Customer, no matter where you purchased your Telstra/Boost sim card, you can always visit our store for help.

    • Heybargain on 21/10/2019 - 17:54
      +6

      Buy the pack. Wait for it to arrive.

      You don't need to put the new SIM in while porting, just put in the Boost SIM in after porting is successful.

      Go to https://activate.boost.com.au/ and do activation on that page. You don't need to open the SIM card packaging at this time, you can find the SIM serial number on the back of the pack.

      Once you completed all the steps, Telstra will send you a SMS containing validation code and the URL to enter it. So your current mobile number must be active.

      Go to the URL in the SMS and enter the 6-digit code. Porting process will start.

      Later on (time varies between people) you should receive an SMS/email from current provider notifying the port.

      Once porting is done you should get another SMS & email from Boost. Then put in the new Boost SIM after getting the email that said porting was successful.

      You should be able to use the recharge voucher afterwards.

      It seems to be completely random. I'm trying to port from Woolworths Mobile for weeks while others say it took 15 min for their Woolworths number to be ported. If you don't mind the chance of an indefinite wait then you could take your chances and maybe be one of the lucky ones.

      • bigpallooka on 22/10/2019 - 01:12

        Chatting to helpful and pleasant people hasn't fixed anything for me. They don't do the port forwarding. I'm tired of helpful people telling me to call the port forwarding department with no response or waiting for a call back that doesn't happen. It's VERY clear that some customers are not getting what they paid for through no fault of their own. Good on ya if you were one of the lucky ones.

        • Encify on 22/10/2019 - 08:23

          Same port issues with my mum too - ended up sending an Email with URGENT in the subject and a few choice options for them to choose from (reimbursement for the month we paid for current provider and reimbursement of the sim on special that was bought from the shops, or those cancel with those two options and ombudsman as they cant provide the service we have technically paid for and we had to top up with current provider again for a month…instead of a year).
          We called several times and was told the same story and had enough.
          So got their porting email from the customer service people, sent it Friday afternoon, ported Monday morning.

      Likely the information provided for porting is not match.

      If you porting a number and takes more than 48 hours, likely sth goes wrong.

      Better check you account and Aldi mobile first to make sure the data of birth match.

      Normally if the activation/porting does not go through, it went into error provisioning after 72 hours to 5 business days.

      After activation went into error provisioning, you can reactivate/port the sim card again.

      The above applied to any network porting, no matter it's Telstra or Optus or Vodafone

      • bigpallooka on 22/10/2019 - 01:08

        I am on my second SIM with the same issues. They cancelled the activation on the first one after 3 days and and reactivated it then sent me on to port forwarding department. 1hr20 later the music stopped an my call went dead. 2 weeks later I checked the SIM on the Boost site and it was never reactivated. I am now a week into my second SIM with calls, chats and waiting for call back. I didn't screw up the activation process twice and copy/paste ensures correct account numbers. It's definitely a Boost/Telstra issue.

    been waiting 22+ days for my number to be fully ported from Aldi mobile, they recently just disabled my old sim and moved my number but i cant recharge my sim WTF. I have no idea what to do now, I called them many times, even made a customer complaint, all that accomplished was what I said before.

      Same port issues with my mum too - ended up sending an Email with URGENT in the subject and a few choice options for them to choose from (reimbursement for the month we paid for current provider and reimbursement of the sim on special that was bought from the shops, or those cancel with those two options and ombudsman as they cant provide the service we have technically paid for and we had to top up with current provider again for a month…instead of a year).
      We called several times and was told the same story and had enough.
      So got their porting email from the customer service people, sent it Friday afternoon, ported Monday morning.
      I wasnt a happy boy with their service.
