    So you don't need to buy through boost? Just activate any $150 plan before end of March? Got the Ms the $150 sim for like $105 the other month from Coles and will be activating before end of March.

      howd you get the sim for $105? i thought it was $135 at coles

      • knobbs on 18/02/2020 - 10:26

        Price reduced to $135, I had 20% off Coles/Myer GC from AMEX then also had a 1000 and 2000 point promo for the spend on flybuys. Essentially $108 cost and $15 extra in flybuys points

    • kiwiinoz on 18/02/2020 - 14:56

      Is it still $135 at Coles…Does anyone know?

      WARNING: Boost is fine until you have a problem. Then you'll find the customer service can't always help and may send you to a Telstra shop who don't serve Boost costomers.

      Hopeless.

      If you don't need international calls buy the Optus version of this. Their customer service is great online/phone and in-shop.

        is there any other similar version like Boost and optus

  • caprimulgus on 18/02/2020 - 10:12

    Is this a specific recharge (that you have to buy through this deal) or does it apply to previous purchases (made from a previous deal, but not redeemed yet)?

    I have a $150 recharge ready to go from one of the previous $130-$135 sales (probably 6 months ago!). I'm due to redeem that at the end of the month - will I get the extra data, even though I didn't purchase it under this promotion?

    (sorry couldn't find correct T&Cs…the ones listed on the page are for other promos!)

      Comments below seem to indicate this is online only, but I’d like to know for sure. Can someone with an existing sim try it and let us know?

      Updated: Boost chat agent said

      So to be clear, I don’t need to buy it directly from Boost?
      For example, I can get a $150 SIM from Officeworks and will still get the bonus data?
      Ivy Andrea - 8:06

      Yes, as long as you have $150 sim kit

      • sween64 on 18/02/2020 - 11:22

        Oh. So a $150 recharge won’t work, it’s gotta be a SIM Kit?

        • seanyong on 18/02/2020 - 11:30
          +1

          Looks like yes. It says activate by 30.03.20, not recharge.
          But I guess changing a sim wont cause too much hassle?

          • sween64 on 18/02/2020 - 12:21

            @seanyong: I’ve already bought a discounted recharge voucher for later though…

            • AlienC on 20/02/2020 - 13:23

              @sween64: Where did you get a discounted recharge voucher from I need one asap.

              I assumed the deals here were sim kits only unless you found a legit recharge code seller somewhere cheaper than through boost itself.

              • sween64 on 21/02/2020 - 09:08

                @AlienC: Coles were selling them but not at the moment.

        I had a different answer.

        'for the 40gb bonus data on the $150 sim, can this be purchased anywhere or must it be purchased online?

        Jerson - 8:34
        Online only, Lee.'

        • Charity on 20/02/2020 - 02:12

          +2

          Jerson from online chat is giving wrong information.

          ive spoken to him as i had issues activating my sim 3 days ago . He also said its a Online deal only.
          But once my sim was activated it showed 120GB.

          You will get 120GB data doesnt matter if you bought this online or store so long you activate it by 30 march. 2020.
          Hope this clears things up for oz bargainers.

    • QWUX on 18/02/2020 - 11:21

      online with chat, apparently its only for people that purchase the sim from today.
      no extra data offered at all.

      • pennypincher98 on 18/02/2020 - 11:44

        Have you activated your boost SIM and checked this or is this what the agent said?

            @QWUX: Well obviously that's not going to get any extra data, you activated last week.

            The question being asked here was if you bought a kit before (and haven't activated yet) would it be eligible.

      • sk3iron on 18/02/2020 - 11:59

        How can they possibly determine this, I feel like controversy brewing

    • seniordoc on 18/02/2020 - 12:35

      I would also know. I have a Boost $150 bought from third party but not yet activated.

        I have about 30gb left of the 80. The bonus amount isn't really an incentive lol

    • JerryB on 18/02/2020 - 20:32

      Nearly 10 months in and I have 58 GB left of my 80 GB, so the bonus data of this deal isn't very enticing for me.

      I remember talking to someone who was on something like 80 GB or 100 GB pm and still went over every month. He used Spotify a lot. Probably YouTube and Netflix as well.

      • sween64 on 19/02/2020 - 10:18

        It would have to be more than just Spotify. Or he’s using Spotify literally 24x7.

        320 kbps (kilobits per second) = 40 KBps (kilobytes per second) = 3.3 GB per day

    Just a heads up to anyone trying to port in from vodafone now/soon. Apparently there is a glitch in the system that affects porting between them to telstra and they are not sure when it can be resolved. (I have been waiting 5 days now with no signs of progress until this gets fixed)

    • scuderiarmani on 18/02/2020 - 10:44

      Ouch that's nasty, I did have a Port in issue once that took a couple days or so, most seem more or less instant.

      • benchman on 18/02/2020 - 10:49

        I had a massive port issue from lebara to boost. Took 3 weeks. Was able to get a free sim to use in the meantime w a free month of additional recharge because I called everyday. Was quite frustrating actually.

        Definitely call both boost to check and complain, meantime call Vodafone to check they have ported you out.

        • jhck28 on 18/02/2020 - 11:27

          I have never had a port that took longer than 2 hours so it was definitely a surprise. I have been calling everyday and despite all the talk about "escalating" and "high priority" they do not appear to be able to sort this out soon. Just didn't want all the ozbargainers possibly moving from Kogan/Lebara to Boost to end up with the same issue.

    • mangobango on 18/02/2020 - 11:41

      Yeah tried to port my fiancee's number from Kogan and it's been held up, they said it should be fixed today but fingers crossed as her Kogan plan expires today.

              @jhck28: Wtf, another 10 days??

              Might need to swing past the shops on the way home then and pick up a $2 Sim, unless Kogan has some cheap recharge option.

    • Tim Mc on 20/02/2020 - 21:59

      My port from Telstra to Vodafone on Wednesday got stuck too. The port went through this afternoon. It looks like they've resolved the issue.

      I had ordered a Boost SIM last week and activated it today as a new customer. My number was ported across from Vodafone to Boost about an hour ago. I recharged online with the 120GB offer splashed all over the page.

      I should pay closer attention to the fine print next time:
      "NEW CUSTOMERS: Grab a SIM & get bonus 40GB"
      "CURRENT CUSTOMERS: Select $150 when you recharge for 80GB"

      The Boost Mobile app says I now have 80GB of data.

      Edit: I contacted Live Chat and explained. They kindly bumped the data up from 80GB to 120GB. YMMV

      (Disclaimer: I'm associated with Telstra. Comments are my own.)

    • Ryk on 28/02/2020 - 18:14

        Kogan used to do so when they upgraded their data plans, but it has been a while since they have uppped their data though

        • scuderiarmani on 18/02/2020 - 10:48

          Data upgrades happened on many providers, I believe there was some decreased costs providers passed on, though happy to be proven wrong on that.

          Should just port in and out on those Catch or Telstra starter deals if you must…. that's the best way to get these sorts of things.

        • Global Nomad on 18/02/2020 - 10:57

          Kogan was per month allowance where as Boost is per annum.
          Seems this Boost promo may apply to existing customers who renew, but I'm not entirely sure yet.

          • cloudy on 18/02/2020 - 11:35

            @Global Nomad: Not if you renew after March it seems, so hardly a reward for existing customers if your plan doesn’t expire before then.

                @SirNed: It says quite clearly on the buy button that recharges are 80GB. It does NOT indicate 120GB for recharges.
