    From the FAQ:

    Why will I get less than 100GB in my first month?
    Your 100GB plan is made up of the 20GB Base Data (from our 20GB Monthly Plan) and 80GB of Bonus Data.

    For FAQ on 100GB landing page, can we update the 2nd paragraph to this:The 20GB Base Data is pro-rated to the date you activate your SIM card in the month. The 80GB Bonus Data will not be pro-rated. Hence, your full data allocation for your first month will be between 80GB – 100GB.

    e.g If you activate on the 16th of November (mid-month), you will receive 90GB of data (10GB prorated base data + 80GB bonus data) in your first month.

    • porkupine888 on 11/11/2019 - 14:13

      nothing stopping you from doing so when you have got under 4 services prepaid . but maybe the angle you're coming from is that you requested a PORT / number transfer - speak to the customer rep @ circles - they've been pretty good in responding so far imho - but porting is a two way issue = so if your current provider doesn't allow the port then it won't go through… so just try your luck! :)

    • 76F on 11/11/2019 - 17:39

        $10 for 80GB with Kogan is still way cheaper than this IF:
        1) you get decent speed with Voda network
        2) you can be bothered to to activate 2 sims every month (only takes about 5 minutes, but yeah)

      They're okay. Network reception bad at my area (bad as in no signal bad), no VoLTE, fine around city, hit or miss on the train… Used it for 2 months, ported to telstra S10e 99 deal, going back to circles again but on the $18/M deal. 23GB is enough for me

      • zacsg1 on 11/11/2019 - 17:26

        The $18 a month deal sounds great as you can add 20gb more for only $10!

              @zacsg1: What? Kogan is $5 for 40GB mate. That's double the price for a quarter of the data.

              • GregMonarch on 11/11/2019 - 21:30

                @Zazer: I don't get it either. Convenience I guess? (No need to change/check remaining Kogan data or spend 3 minutes ordering the next SIM/activation code!?)

                For those wondering what we're referring to:

                Personally I get the dirt-cheapest phone SIM (usually Amaysim) posted here (one that includes some data) for activating the Kogan SIMs (in case I forget to activate the next SIM, before the previous SIM runs out of data).

                Why?

                • For 6 months you might only use 10GB or less. You only paid $4.90 per month.
                • Month 7 you use 39GB. You still only only $4.90.
                • Month 8 you use all 40GB of SIM 1 in two weeks. You order another SIM/activation code. So you got 80GB for (2x $4.90) = $9.80.
                • Month 9 you use 1x 40GB Kogan SIM every week for 4x weeks. You paid $19.60 for 160GB.
                • Next 6 months you only use 10GB again. You're back to $4.90.
                • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 11/11/2019 - 23:20

                  @GregMonarch: And they don't stop you using promotional codes again and again, with the same ID?

                  • GregMonarch on 12/11/2019 - 03:07
                    +3

                    @JohnHowardsEyebrows: Nope. Not yet at least. I use a SIM about every 2 weeks. I've deliberately used the same email, name, address, etc. for dozens of SIMs to test it. The only 'restriction' is the number of times in recent succession you use the same credit/debit card. You can ORDER the SIM with the same card/account forever. But if you use the same one I think it's 5 times in a row in the same 30 or 60 days to ACTIVATE the next SIM, the site rejects payment and asks for a different payment method. I have a few bank accounts. So I just use account 1 to activate SIM 1, account 2 for SIM 2, etc. then loop them again so none get 'blocked' (which resets after a few weeks anyway).

                    Just keep in mind you have to track data used, or you can run out of data unexpectedly - which means you then need other internet access to activate the next SIM. I login every few days to check and if data is low I order the next SIM/code. But I also buy the dirt cheap phone SIMs on here (like Amaysim) which comes with some data for when I forget/run out unexpectedly - and use those to go online to activate the next Kogan SIM. Right after activating I order the next one so I always have a spare SIM on-hand.

                    The activation codes arrive in your inbox quite fast in business hours, but slower if ordering at night/weekends. e.g. 7 to 35 minutes on a weekday into the afternoon, or the longest I've waited was about 4.5 hours when I ordered early AM on a Sunday morning.

                    If you don't need a permanent phone number, and know you'll use at least 2 SIMs every month - just activate SIM 2 after 1 or 2 weeks, but keep using SIM 1 until it runs out, then switch in SIM 2 because it's already activated. Rinse, repeat.

                      @GregMonarch: Just to add to this, United servos sell Kogan SIM cards. If you're in a hurry you can order the $4.90 / 40gb deal online and use the code they email you with the $2 SIM you just bought from United.

                      This means you don't have to wait however long it takes for the SIM that Kogan post you to get to you to get online.

                      However, when it does arrive, it's still useful. Keep it as a spare.

                      Absolute bugbear of mine! With all telco's, apart from Telstra which works fine with no data.

                      You can't use the companies own website when you run out of data!

                      Not to even recharge your own service; or Activate a new one.

                        @YouWinAgain: Yeah… You can PARTLY use Kogan with a new SIM inserted, and no other internet access. It's like they had it working sometime in the past but then someone forgot to maintain the URLs as they updated the site and 'broke' it.

                  @GregMonarch: Hi GregMonarch.

                  So just to clarify, you're using a dual sim phone.

                  You have an amaysim as your main phone number which has unlimited calls and txt and a small amount of data
                  You then have this kogan sim which you just order at least once a month (new number each time) and you use this for the data

                  Is that correct?

                  Which amaysim plan do you use for your main phone number? I had a look on the website and I could not find a cheap one.

        Except it can cause trouble/delays.

        Get a $2 Telstra SIM from the supermarket instead (or by mail for free I think, if you can wait/if this will still be available by the time it arrives). Then port out to the SIM without activating/recharging any Telstra plan. Then port back into this.

        • blacknblue on 30/11/2019 - 01:56

    Sounds like a great deal.

    Anyone know if you can turn off excess data? I.e. turn off the tap, rather than pay excess charges ($0.01/MB). I'd rather set and forget and get cut off than pay excess charges.

    • zacsg1 on 11/11/2019 - 18:01

      They give you 3gb if you go over for free! So you should not have to pay extra if you just stop using the phone then.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/11/2019 - 18:17

        Many thanks. I'm actually asking for a friend. 100gig is so generous that I know a lot of people might use this as an ADSL/NBN replacement. But are unlikely to keep track of their usage.

        Do you know if they give you an alert when you go over?

        Also, correct me if my maths are wrong, but 1 gig over @ $0.01 is $10. So easy for it to add up to something decent if you're binge watching something at around the 99 gig mark!

      You can set monthly cap to ZERO so that if you reach the limit after the 3GB for Free the Data stops.

        where do you set this?

        • BLAIL on 14/11/2019 - 17:19

          Through the App or call them up.

      If you have an android device just switch on data limiter. easiest way but there isn't any real other way unless you keep an eye on it

    Just to confirm this " no lock in "

    I can cancel after 1 month, or anytime time?

    Sorry for the dumb question, this seems like a really good deal haha

      Yes you can cancel so that you dont get charged $28.

      Correct - they have absolutely no lock-in. However note that if you are using shopback, they will not honor cashback if you cancel before 2 months.
