Hi,
My plan with Telstra is expired and I am now in month - to - month basic. I am planning to try out Kogan 14.9$/90 days prepaid plan.
But then I notice there is an 8$ fee that I need to pay to Telstra if I want to port my number to another provider.
As an ozbargainer, is there any way to bypass this 8$ thing or it is too complicated during this pandemic time?
Thank you
Thank Jimmy. Despite slower and not well coverage as Telstra, but at least Kogan save me 45$ monthly and it is 135$ in saving minus 8$.
You can ring Telstra and change to prepaid for a month and then port out with no charge but it really depends on how much time you want to waste doing it. I believe wait times are really long to talk to someone at Telstra at the moment.
It is my primary number and Telstra prepaid plan is pretty much triple the price of Kogan atm. So I think I rather spend 8$ and save more. thank Username not found
I ported from Telstra post paid to Kogan on last day of my Telstra postpaid. I was charged following fees :
Google Pixel 2 XL 64GB Payment Contract Balance $3.87 †
Plan Contract Cancellation $1.935
Thank you. As I check online, they required an 8$ porting out fee.
Yes, it was there in my contract hence i ported on last day without waiting for contract to finish.
Not really, there are a couple ways I could think off, but they are all honestly not worth the hassle and hoops to go through to save $8.
THIS. Just treat it as what it is, a Telstra tax and enjoy the new service you ported to.
Port paid you pay the month ahead, so when you port out, you'll normally get a mini credit anyhow, so the fee will get paid by this credit etc.
