Signup question: I have recently started doing the 90-day Kogan + Catch SIM swap to get cheaper monthly payment

Do I need a new email every time I sign up? I believe I do but I just want to confirm. Thanks

    I do the same, due to move to Kogan in April. I use the same email address. With Kogan, you log in with your mobile number for your account. With catch you can continue with using same email address. I have been doing this for quite a while now with no problem.

    No, I did it for a couple of years and used the same email for both. However I was porting the same number all the time.

    Don't forget Catch is only $9.90 if you go through Cashrewards.

  • been doing this for a year, kogan finally gave up, they don't have the 90day sim on special anymore :(

    edit: oops it's still available on kogan.com, just not on koganmobile.com.au

  • I come from Telstra and I do understand that both Kogan and Catch are not able to match Telstra in any way from coverage to speed. But I just want to know what to expect? Will it like 50-60% of what Telstra offer? I am occasionally travelling to regional areas.

    • Not sure if anyone can answer that as it would depend exactly on what regional area you visit.

      It's not a big outlay anyway and you can port out anytime so maybe give it a try.

        Thank you. I am waiting for the Kogan Sim to arrive by post now

  • When people do the 90-day Kogan + Catch SIM swap. When do you start your port? Day 89?

      Best answer below if you want to stretch the days on both plans without paying more.

      Kogan to Catch: Max 20 days after Kogan plan expires.

      Catch to Kogan: On the last day of Catch plan.

        May I ask why 20 days after Kogan plan expires before porting to Catch? Does that mean for thse 20 days you cannot make outgoing calls and have no mobile data to use, and you can only receive incoming calls?

          Yes to your questions. I think many people doing this have more than one phone number.

          20 days catch

          After 20 days, Catch verification code may not reach your phone. The phone number may have to stay at Kogan till a recharge.

          When doing Catch to Kogan, you must reply to Kogan via SMS. Thus, your Catch plan should not be expired.

          FYI, I have 4 phone numbers porting in/out Kogan/Catch every 1-3 months. I do have to manage the time well and stretch the plan to the limit.

      I do it on day 90 for both. Usually takes less than 1 hour. Always got heaps of data left over too.

      • Ok thanks
