    Wasn't this $99 last week?

      Think the $99 was for 60gb.

      • dodgey on 05/11/2020 - 12:38

        Yeah I just noticed :)

        • [Deactivated] on 05/11/2020 - 15:14

          $21 more get you double the data, seems better deal.

    My boost 80gb will be ending soon, looks like this is a great replacement. Is there an latest activation date?

    • cmdbash on 05/11/2020 - 12:42

      According to the details: "Activate within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised on a promotion, whichever is earliest."

      • Ginger36 on 05/11/2020 - 12:57

        That's something I can't understand. It's said "Offer ends: 18/11/20", so we have to activate by 18/11?

        • philldo on 05/11/2020 - 13:04
          +3

          I'm going to assume (which I know is bad) that the sale ends 18th Nov, so you'd have to buy before then to get the $30 off.
          Afterwards you have 30 days to activate from purchase date.

                +1

                @pitpicker: Gift cards/sims etc get loaded/activated at the register when purchased. Though, I would suspect that this term is just like what Optus says, and you don't actually have to use it within 30 days. I never had a problem using Optus cards after 30 days.

      • USER DC on 06/11/2020 - 23:36

        The thing is coles say " we advice you to activate within 30 days".

        Technically can activate after 30 days within 12 months but they say that plan may change , basically saying "you may not have everything in plan as it was mentioned when you bought it"

        I think they just trying to get people to activate within 30 days for else have customer take responsibility for any lowering/addition of data or like loosing/addition of any other feature

      Yeah I'll be swapping when my current boost runs out, guess it'll depend on if there's another deal for this or (more likely) amaysim deal as they both seem to better value than boost now

        (more likely) amaysim deal

        maybe not, considering that big daddy Optus just bought amaysim

    • jmytch on 05/11/2020 - 15:10

      Lol, until maybe June 2021, I bet Boost will then bring out 5G network to bring back the customers but I don't see this is happening any time soon because not everyone wants to get 5g handset XD

      Nope, it wont.

    • jamartar on 05/11/2020 - 13:49

      I don't know if it does yet, but it will according to this article:
      https://www.crn.com.au/news/optus-launches-volte-wi-fi-calli…

      • DonIsGood on 05/11/2020 - 14:10

        Optus doesn't even offer VoLTE to its own $180/365days plan, so I'm doubtful this (comparable) Coles plan will get it any time soon :(

      • b3au on 05/11/2020 - 14:23
        +2

        The only MVNO partner that has actually taken up the offer is SpinTel - no other MVNOs have.
        Also, that CRN article is missing one key point - it's only available to postpaid MVNOs

        https://www.optus.com.au/about/media-centre/media-releases/2…

        Optus is the first mobile carrier network operator in Australia to give postpaid service providers access to Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and WiFi Calling, demonstrating Optus’ commitment to its wholesale partners.

    • b3au on 05/11/2020 - 14:23

      No - no VoLTE or WiFi Calling.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/11/2020 - 14:34

      I can confirm the voice quality of Coles mobile is better than Boost even it does not offer VoLTE or WifiCalling. Boost got a voice delay for I18N calling. sometimes I had to pause the callee finished talking.

      • Last Seen on 05/11/2020 - 14:23

    I'm currently on Amaysim $10 /pm with 2GB data, so this seems like a no-brainer.

    I'm thinking that with the end of Amaysim mobile and customers moving to Optus, the good old days of cheap Groupon Amaysim renewals is unlikely.

    • OnlineShopper123 on 05/11/2020 - 14:06

      this should work, the sim scans like a product and gift cards go through as a tender. I bought mine last week (bugger) on one of the self-checkouts and it offered all tender types.

      • bargain-lover007 on 05/11/2020 - 15:51

        One of my friends tried it this morning, system offered gift card as an option, but the gift card did not get scan. Sought help from the attendant who declined to accept the gift card. ( She said they are not allowed by system ). Will check at some other store.

        • hihi on 05/11/2020 - 19:59

          i bought giftcards with coles egiftcard before, they do scan giftcard under flybuys scanner but the balance has to be equal or greater the the giftcards that you want to buy, otherwise it does not work

  • jmytch on 05/11/2020 - 14:59

    Buy plan from catch 120gb for $120. Use a discount code from unidays or student beans which knocks off another $12. Pay using gift cards from Suncorp (minus $6.72)
    Total $105.28 (if you find cheaper sim cheaper)

  • frenzaltom on 05/11/2020 - 17:38

    Can u port from. Optus prepaid to this? Or do you have to port to another provider and then this?

    • jmytch on 05/11/2020 - 19:00

      I'm pretty sure you can port from Optus prepaid to this but it may take up to 24 - 48 hours on same network unless they had changed the system recently?

      Quicker way is to port to Telstra or Vodafone which can get u ported out within 10minutes to 4 hours then port over to Coles Mobile.

      • fozzie on 05/11/2020 - 20:55

        A friend moved from Moose to catch and was done within one minute (they are both Optus)

    • H E B on 17/11/2020 - 11:15

      I helped my mother port from Catch to Coles. Did it before my 3rd watch shift and it was done by the end of my shift in the morning! I was impressed.

      Much better than one of her prior Optus to Boost attempts in the past, still can't get calls.

      Oh and because I wasn't paying attention if you want the 120gb plan, don't make the mistake of buying the $120 pack, buy the $150 pack as my husband pointed out when I got home lol! They all look the same. I doubt my elderly mother will use up the full 60gb, but apparently Coles lets you rollover 50gb which seems like a good idea to pick up the extra 60gb anyway.

    "Remember you'll need to activate your Coles Mobile SIM card within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised on the promotion in order to receive any special offers that applied when you bought your Coles Mobile Prepaid plan."

    Since I've already paid the $120 for $150 credit, I assume I can wait as long as I want before activating?

    Can anybody advise?

    • fozzie on 06/11/2020 - 19:24

  • mike6969 on 06/11/2020 - 20:22

    Do not get this is you want international roaming!
    I recently started the 12 month sim and today
    I got an email saying:

    "We’re making some changes to the Coles Mobile Extras Credit for your Coles Mobile service. From 8 December 2020, international roaming will no longer be available on your Coles Mobile service and Coles Mobile Extras Credit won’t have any roaming inclusions."

    Tomorrow I'm going to demand a refund how dare they change the terms after purchase!! Avoid these snakes.

    • cloudie9 on 06/11/2020 - 21:27

      I think most of the MVNO mobile provider except for main telco provider, are excluding international mobile roaming. I received the same email from Catch mobile and telling me the same thing too.

      • fozzie on 07/11/2020 - 01:29

        Same here!

        OPTUSMSG: Hi, it’s important to us that you’re aware of changes we’ve made to your Catch Connect service.

        This a very bad development. It started with Boost and Telstra Prepaid and is now happening at Optus MVNOs

        I don't ever spend much on roaming but the piece of mind from being able to receive urgent texts and 2 factor login codes a major plus for me.

        Hopefully Amaysim keeps it around (as they're now being purchased by Optus directly)

          No you will not be able to receive anything while outside Australia after 8/12 when roaming is disabled by coles.
          Btw I just got a pro rata refund from Coles mobile because they are stopping roaming. Initially they didn't want to refund me but the TIO helped me. We are very lucky to have safeguards like this in Australia.

  • wisdomtooth on 10/11/2020 - 19:32

    I'm half way through my Boost plan, and already shot through the data quota. Is this the best alternative, or should I look for a data only plan?

    Browsing around didn't yield great results—lowest data rate at Aldi Mobile is $1/GB, and you have to buy 365 of them.

    • fozzie on 11/11/2020 - 08:51

      How much Data do you use approximately per month? Currently I think Kogan have some good data

      40gb a month costing $300 (existing customers but just getting a 3 months sim is $15 then move on this) https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-mobile-prepaid-voucher-co…

      Or boost sims one year with 240gb data can be found around $240 (search on here)
