    Boost also supports VOLTE

    • knitwear on 25/02/2020 - 10:50

      They do, but only with Telstra whitelisted device.

      In short if you grey import your phones, VoLTE may not work.

      • ozzieozzieozzie on 25/02/2020 - 11:36

        My Android device was purchased outright and works perfectly fine with VOLTE.

      • alterego13 on 25/02/2020 - 12:20

        My wife's S10e is a dual-sim grey import and VoLTE works fine.

      YMMV - had some initial problems with a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro, after a hard reset all good. VoWIFI works as well. XDA is a good resource

      Enter these codes into the Dialer to enable the options in Settings. (Settings < SIM Cards & mobile networks < Sim Card Settings < VoLTE Enabled/Make Calls using WLAN)
      VoLTE ##86583##

      *40GB bonus data on $150 SIM: Available to customers who buy a $150 SIM online and activate between 18.02.20 and 30.03.20. Offer available while stocks last.”

      • nzcoops on 25/02/2020 - 15:51

        Now that is a bargain!

    • willyroo on 25/02/2020 - 10:22
      +2

      These SIMs are reasonably long expiry - at least April 2021 IIRC from the last time this deal was posted. Only downside - new customers only so will need to port out with a cheap option like this Optus $2 SIM and port back in again.

      • Sir Mittens on 25/02/2020 - 10:23

        Sounds good thanks. I am not with Boost so will prob buy this and port in!

        Wait … I can buy this, and not activate it for 6 months? Then get 12 months from that point?

  • abc12345 on 25/02/2020 - 10:19

    I'm looking to port in two different numbers.

    Can you have two different numbers or does "new customers only" mean only one number/service?

    • jabbairc on 25/02/2020 - 10:47

  • dbglt on 25/02/2020 - 10:21

    If you pricematch this at Officeworks, it is double the data (equivalent to 20gb, rather than 10gb, a month) for $78 more. Seems like a good deal, thanks!

    • hanofee on 25/02/2020 - 10:31

      Is this physically a starter pack or do we need to get $2 Sim + recharge?

      • dbglt on 25/02/2020 - 10:34

        It is the sim, not a recharge.

    • wii4u on 25/02/2020 - 10:46

  • aussiedogga on 25/02/2020 - 10:31

    I purchased 2 SIMS pricematched with Officeworks - 1 for myself - 1 for my partner.
    Will it create issues with my partner tries to transfer her number across to Boost when the SIM was purchased under my name?
    Thanks

      Don't think email id used to purchase the Sim will be linked .. you won't have any issues during activation.

      Worst scenario, Telstra/ boost live chat will sort it for you

      • aussiedogga on 25/02/2020 - 10:54

      When porting a mobile number it's important the name on the ACCOUNT for the existing plan, and the name on the NEW account match perfectly.

      I used to work for a large telco.

      Also, as a kid, I had a lot of issues porting my number when I had thought it was cool that my title be "Lord" rather than "Mr"…. caused one hell of an issue for a while. lol.

      • aussiedogga on 25/02/2020 - 10:55

        Date of birth is critical, must match. They use mob number and date of birth for pre-paid account when porting.

        I've already got a Boost SIM pack ($150 one) so, should I just stick that in and away we go? Or do I need to port out to say Optus and then back to Boost?

          If already got boost Sim, then easy way around the hassle is.. switch to Kogan or Optus etc and port in to boost afterwards

            @Seven8Nine: Yep just spoke to online chat.

            Can't port directly from Telstra to Boost.

            Will probably port to Kogan/Optus first then port back into Boost.

      If you are porting from Telstra to Boost Mobile, you will need a special blank Boost Mobile SIM. Please call 1800 100 933 (8am-9pm AEST, 7 days) and we will send one out to you.
      If you’re in metro Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart or Brisbane, you’ll receive it the next day (if your order is placed before 4pm).
      When your blank SIM arrives, contact Boost on 1800 100 933 (8am-9pm, 7 days) to activate it.

    • BargainCowboy on 25/02/2020 - 13:12

      Is that over the phone only?

      EDIT: Spoke to a team member in the Mel CBD store who said that yes, it's only over the phone as they can't do price-match if they don't stock the item. It worked over the phone and waiting to pick it up from the store tomorrow.

      • kchibi7 on 25/02/2020 - 13:46

        I did it over the phone, but I don't see why they wont price-match you if you go in store, and they have stock in that store?

  • edman on 25/02/2020 - 11:31

    on the website when you click on the plan, there is a button for new customers to order a sim, or current customers to recharge, and it says "select $300 when you recharge". Does this mean that existing customers can recharge for $240 as well? I don't have a Boost number (yet) so can't get in to test it.

  • agalea101 on 25/02/2020 - 11:40

    • jps on 25/02/2020 - 11:58

      No, just contact Boost and they will send you a blank sim card which you can port to.

      • agalea101 on 25/02/2020 - 12:13

          Boost is owned by Telstra but they're still separate companies as far as I know. I think they do a number 'transfer', not so much a port, but effectively it's the same. Only thing is you have to call to get the blank sim and call again when you have it to transfer your number over to the blank sim.

            Boost are not owned by Telstra

            There’s often questions asked in the community around Boost and Telstra including what the difference is, are they the same, does Telstra own Boost and so on. This should clarify it for everyone.

            Firstly, Telstra does not own Boost. Boost owns Boost. Telstra and Boost have an agreement wherein Boost customers have access to the 4G Telstra Mobile Network and share some of the same backend systems. Boost and Telstra are the only brands that have access to this network which is Australia’s biggest network.

  • Subrising on 25/02/2020 - 11:48

    Just called up Boost support and they said since I'm on Telstra already and want to port from there that I need a blank sim but with that blank sim I can't do the $240 recharge so I should instead port to someone else first then back to Boost. Not sure if this is correct or if the CSA was wrong about the process.

    • seanyong on 25/02/2020 - 11:54

      Just buy a $2 optus/voda sim and port out first. Then port to boost on the second day.

    • jps on 25/02/2020 - 11:59

      I recently went through this for two services. I first got the blank Boost sim, ported over and the sim was active, then Boost online chat applied the credit to the blank sim.

      from what i asked the boost person, she said well u the price promotion ends 09 march 2020.. but activation.. can be anytime before the sim card expires.. which is like one april 2021. so i think it will work okay for u.. because what u get is just a discount price from 300 to $228 at ow price match.. but the plan details 240gb per year is still the same..

    • UltimateAI on 25/02/2020 - 17:38

      Last month I think it was, I switched from Kogan and suprised that in Sydney boost service seems to be slower and more drop outs.

      On the North Shore Train where Kogan\Vodaphone dropped out at waverton, Boost is fine. but now I get no signal From Norwest to Bellavista on the Metro and drop outs on the harbour bridge and city tunnels!! So more dropouts!! Every single trip.

      Really wish these carriers would share more mobile towers, as I was expecting Telstra coverage to be a lot better.
      PS: Regional coverage is better most the time.

    What is your experience with the quality of International calls?

    I have used Vodafone and the quality was terrible. There was a huge delay when speaking. No complaints with Belong and Telstra.

    Not sure if it matters but the calls were to Sri Lanka.

    • brokenglish on 28/02/2020 - 20:19

      Most international calls from mobile are like this unfortunately. Same with Optus and Telstra in my experience.
      International call is better through landline for business, or use WhatsApp/Skype/others.
