About porting your own number to Boost:

You can request porting your own number to Boost when activating the SIM. Before porting number, contact your current service provider to confirm personal details. Make
sure your Name and Date of Birth registered with the number are 100% correct including spaces. Ask to update your details if anything is incorrect. Once confirmed, provide
the exact same details to Boost to initiate the porting. Some carriers will send you a SMS to authorise the porting request, so make sure the current SIM is inserted until the
service is disconnected. Telstra users need a separate blank SIM (Boost will send you for free) to finish the process.

Please contact Boost Mobile on 1800 100 933 if you have further questions.

Thanks for supporting small business.

          No they aren't - you can still make calls from Australia to international numbers. They are stopping international roaming.

            @matt_will_fix_it: bugger… I used that to get SMS confirmation codes when overseas… but since it's unlikely I'll be able to go OS for the next 12 months and boost say they will relaunch int roaming next year, it'll work out! Tho not sure if we'll have to pay for receiving sms while roaming in new system…

              @Ntsh: When I go overseas, I put my sim in a spare phone and use Pulse SMS. I leave the phone with a family member in the event anything goes wrong with it (hasn't so far).

              The spare phone is the primary, and my main phone is then setup as an additional device and I use that to send / receive texts.

      If you’re already on $150 plan, I can’t think of a reason to switch onto this one. After all existing $150 customers can still top up with the existing plans.

      • Dr-StrangeLove on 31/08/2020 - 21:44

        Is that so?

          I assume that’s the case? It’s a very similar policy when I was on Vodafone as well. As long as you don’t walk away, you can keep your plan even if it’s no longer offered.

          • SillySorjai on 01/09/2020 - 09:09

            @xmagic: Thanks for noticing this xmagic!
            I was wondering who I would port to after the 12 months but it seems now I don't have to

            I checked the website and still a bit hesitant that I've interpreted this right.

            So do all of you guys activate the pre paid auto recharge for $150? Does that technically count towards rolling over of the data? Or do you guys set a reminder to do a manual recharge sometime in the last week?

            Great deal OP!

            • ESEMCE on 01/09/2020 - 09:42

              @SillySorjai: I don't think it's possible to roll over the data from these 12 month plans at all?
              I'm happy to stand corrected on this, but that's my understanding.

      • rick5042 on 31/08/2020 - 21:52

        Hi, Do you know when is the last date to recharge with $150 for existing customer? My plan runs out in December first week.

      • flame143 on 01/09/2020 - 01:33
        +1

        I'm currently on $150 plan and if I try to recharge now it's showing me below options in 6&12 months expiry.

        $100 - 60GB - 6 months
        $150 - 80GB - 12 months
        $200 - 150GB - 6 months
        $300 - 240GB - 12 months

        I will check again in couple of days to make sure I check after 1st Sep 2020. If it stays this way, I would be a very happy Boost customer. They can also kind of restain the customers this way.

        • djoz on 01/09/2020 - 10:12
          +1

          Yes, existing customers are not impacted.
          As an Existing Customer you stay on 'Boost Anytime Plus' plan.
          New Customers will be onboarded on to 'Boost Anytime Ultra' plan.

    Previous $150 prepaid starter kit with 80GB data, now $200 with 85GB data

    $150 is better, and still can be found somewhere, maybe $135 to $150.

        So, do U think I can still use this pack? If not, boost will refund?

        • fade on 31/08/2020 - 23:44

          As long as you port-in/activate before the expire date(in your case before 02/2022), you should be fine; I saw it on earlier deals.

                  @DarthLord: If you prefer the option of taking up the original $150 deal rather than a refund then tell them to honour the sale or you'll take it to the TIO. Contact Boost and give then the chance to activate your purchase before contacting the TIO. Using the TIO's powers is no big deal but mere mention of them sends shivers down Telstra's spine ime.

  • avgbowlofpho on 31/08/2020 - 20:37

    hmmmm is it worth the extra $50 price hike? that's an increase of $4.17 a month……. to be fair that is an extra 5GB per year (0.147GB/month)

    • TEER3X on 31/08/2020 - 20:39

      Pretty good discount though, I think the $150 version was most often discounted to $135, so it's more like $25 more expensive than before.

    Wasn't the old deal $100 for 60GB and 6 months ($200 for 120GB and 12 months) ? Now it's $200 for 85GB and 12 months. It's definitely a poorer offering but… The Cellpoint discount makes it slightly more palatable.

        But the coverage isn't the same.

        Boost is access to the whole Telstra Network compared to the wholesale part.

        We have just driven 600km North of Perth where the kids lost their coverage several times on Belong, while those on Telstra and Boost had far less dropouts.

        YMMV,

            @AEKaBeer: if whatapps is classified as international calls, then all Belongs, Telstra, Kogan is the same.

            so people may prefer paying $10 more for the international call but not 10% off at Woolworths each month.

            • AEKaBeer on 01/09/2020 - 09:43

                @PeeDee: Depends on your location. Some people in some areas have dropouts but that happens for people on full Telstra and Optus occasionally, depending on location. In general the wholesale network shouldn't be a major problem in major centres. There's a map comparing the two in the link above . If you google you'll probaby find more detailed coverage maps for your local area. A quick search brought this up: https://www.telstra.com.au/coverage-networks/our-coverage

      Know what you mean tB, they've upped the price by 33++% with little useful benefit for many people. Having said that, for people who make multiple international and hundreds of national calls, and heavy data users, $200 is a ridiculously low price for 12 months usage.

      If you don't fall into those categories ALDI Mobile uses the Telstra wholesale network and you can purchase a 12 month super pack plan for $99 - usually twice a year June/July and Jan.

    • fozzie on 31/08/2020 - 22:08

    Awesome, thanks for the heads up on the pricing change. Perfect timing for me, my previous $150 plan was expring on the 2nd so I just did the $150 top-up again now and setup auto-recharge… Might give me access to the $150 plan next year too (:

      Yeah mine was up on the 6th, so going to get a cheeky recharge in before midnight.

      • maxall on 31/08/2020 - 21:56

        my plan has less than two months expiring, if recharge 12 months, does the new expiring date will add current two months plan?
        after tonight, there is no more $150 80GB 12 month plan renew, isn't it? confused.

          Be careful, I'd assume you forfeit the 2 months.

          My understanding is that Boost is grandfathering the plan for current 150 subscribers

    how about international calls to fiji?

  • amsaini15 on 31/08/2020 - 21:33

    If we are already on Boost 12 months plan, do we need to change to catch or kogan plan for a month before we can change to Boost 12 months plan again? Will 1 month with another provider enough?

    • MELso on 31/08/2020 - 21:35

      They're grandfathering existing customers…

  • BennyHe2018 on 31/08/2020 - 21:35

    Glad I kept the previous $150 plan. Not sure how long will it last for current customers.

    • Liquid Pro on 31/08/2020 - 21:52

      You can just keep recharge and continue your current 150 plan. The won't cancel it unless you jump 2 another plan.

        May you please advise about the source of this information? Thanks.

          haha, you funny. I am not writing a report to my professor here. You can simply find a recharge tunnel in both boost webpage and the boost app. Though the recharge tunnel in boost official website can not be easily accessed, I can provide it here.

    Does this mean the $150 starter kits won't work anymore?

    • sunaus on 31/08/2020 - 21:48

      Also interested in if Boost honors the existing $150 starter kit.

        If you bought it with a certain activation date, eg Jan2021, they have no choice. Just mention the TIO (Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman) if anyone tries to give you grief.

      There's an expiry date listed on the back of the starter kit. I was informed very clearly by the store they can be activated up until that date even if the $150 kits are discontinued in the interim.

        I hope so too! I have two packs that I’m activating much later (they expire March 2022) and I was told it will be fine to activate

          Yeah we should be right. I need to activate mine by this weekend so I'll report back if there's an issue.
