    I don’t understand. Why is it such a big deal when you get 10% discount on boost? I know it uses Telstra bla bla but it’s only 10% guys.

    • 0jay on 17/11/2019 - 18:24

      It’s also not a given that your reception will be better over Optus/Voda and resellers. I’ve always had great speeds and reception with Voda and it’d been enough years since I was with Telstra that I’d forgotten I found Voda better. Now stuck with Telstra/Boost for 12 months. No big deal (it’s not bad enough to want to jump) but it’s something to think about before jumping on for 12 months.

      • DonIsGood on 17/11/2019 - 19:09

        I'm with you, when I was on Optus (in Syd) I was getting 100mps, now that I'm on Boost, I'd lucky to get 4G and 40mps! I wish there are 12mths Optus prepaid deals

          I can confirm that optus works better for me than boost in many parts of SE Sydney. Currently have both sims in my phone, so easy to swap and compare.

            @costas60: That's what I bought when it was $120. Ends in Feb 2020. Great deal. Bur this is even cheaper and you get more data. Probably a benefit if you are living in a small regional area.

        Sorry but I am not agree. It’s depend on location. I am with Optus and in my location you won’t believe I am getting 3-4 mbps with 4G network. Yes it’s 3-4mbps. After my contract finished last week I moved to boost same location now I am getting 22-24 mbps. I am quite shocked. So I am the very happy customer here. I would recommend Boost.

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 18/11/2019 - 09:46

          CBD, Inner city, suburban or regional?

        • Thrift on 18/11/2019 - 12:53

          That's exactly what they are saying, reception depends on individual locations. On Boost(Telstra) I'm getting a quarter of the speed I was with Kogan(Vodafone) at my regular locations, but VoWiFI has sure been handy.

          • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 18/11/2019 - 13:07

            @Thrift: When I was with Kogan, there was a place in the city where it would without fail cut out, meaning a minutes-long radio interruption on the tram each morning. Infuriating incompetence of the Vodafone network. Telstra and Optus (Catch) have been perfect since, with speeds ranging from 20-200.

        • Boost Mobile on 21/11/2019 - 10:28

          Just ported to Boost, can confirm 100mbps + download in inner city Melbourne, very happy - it's equal to Telstra speeds I was getting (funny that, considering it's the same network!) - I think with all telcos "your milage may vary" and if in doubt, get a prepaid sim to test in the areas you need signal before taking a leap. I also believe the phone hardware makes a difference with speed so it's not always a telco issue, also take that into account.

      • neonlight on 18/11/2019 - 12:36

        What isn't a given for you is a given for me. Vodafone (scratchy reception) and Optus (zero reception) and I live in metro. So Boost/Aldi/Telstra always the best never any issues.

        Coverage map is not the truth they lie. And out of all MVNOs Boost is the cheapest and best that's the given. The only MVNO that has 4GX

        Even at a business district, I'm getting double the speed of Aldi once I switched over to Boost. and Boost has unlimited calls to specific countries and Aldi does not.

          Saying it’s not a given means it’s not certain. Works for you, great. All I was saying is it’s not true for everyone.

        Hi there, We are sorry to hear if you aren't fully satisfied with your current reception. Have you already tried reaching out to our technical support to see if there has been any issues within your area? If not, please provide us your phone number, DOB and order details so I can escalate it to our team. Kindly email it to us at [email protected]. Thank you

        • Tiggrrrrr on 10/12/2019 - 13:40

        +23

        Not quite true.
        A penny saved is about 1.53 pennies earned if you are an average income earner in Australia and pay 32.5% Income tax plus 2% Medicare levy

      • spazmodik on 23/11/2019 - 23:37

        If you are still earning pennies, you might want to talk to your employer about award wages and Australian currency. No pennies used since 1966. :P

      Also unlimited international calls to 25 countries if that's important to you. I believe this one is also rechargeable, not a starter pack.

    • bozbargain on 17/11/2019 - 18:35
      +2

      I’m a bit the same but I guess a $15 saving on arguably the cheapest plan for light/moderate mobile data users is a nice discount. It’s also an easy way to meet your Flybuys spend criteria for promotions.

      Ported to Boost earlier in the week from Amaysim. Took a week, 2 live chats and 3 separate submissions.

      The live chat representatives wouldn’t tell me what the problem was and just asked for my details again to resubmit the request.

      YMMV but my experience was a pain.

        I thought it was against the law for a business to withhold your number, unless you are on a contract?

    • spaij on 17/11/2019 - 22:56

      I believe to go from Telstra to Boost or vice-versa, you can't use a "normal" SIM card, but if you call them up, that can provide you with a distal SIM that can be used.
      Either way, this voucher, as it's just a recharge voucher, can be used (it's not tied to the $2 SIM, if you buy it)

      Last time I got it, the $2 sim was free when I bought them together, not sure this time though. You can also get a $20 starter pack when it is half price.
