    10GB or 60GB?

  • danieroo on 18/11/2020 - 12:46

    catch connect is awesome.

    came from telstra to optus.

    in my area (inner melbourne suburbs) telstra was only 1 to 2 bars of reception.

    switched ported today to catch optus, now i get full 5 bars reception.

    $9.80 month unlim calls/text on $120 per month plan with cashrewards.

    saved myself $660 per year on whatever i want to use than a $400 gift card. highly recommend to anyone.

    However coles mobile has the better deal, identical + unlim international calls

    • Volution on 18/11/2020 - 12:58

      Some reviews of this service to be a "Data Grabber" meaning that users that don't necessarily spend lets say 5gb/mth and with catch, it could balloon up to double or more gigs. Can you shed some light through your experience if this is true or not.

      • badsadlad on 18/11/2020 - 13:21
        +3

        absolutely not true. automatic updates and other garbage apps and their settings will do that to you.
        people have no idea what are they doing with their phones and of course its best to blame someone else = your provider.
        catch has nothing to do with this

          Targeting a 60gb data per year plan to unistudents is borderline scammy. This is a plan best suited for senior citizens.

          • Alzori on 18/11/2020 - 14:13
            +10

            @t_c: That's a big leap. My uni life was spent on campus or at home - both with high speed wifi coverage all over. I drove to uni every day (very poor public transport access for me) so no usage in transit. I barely used data then and I still barely use it.

      • Hansi on 18/11/2020 - 14:56

        Back in the day Amaysim used to charge people in 1MB increments, not sure how much it is for Catch, but it could be a similar problem. Their T&C should outline this.

    • PeeDee on 18/11/2020 - 14:16

      Wish that was the case for Sydney. Telstra network is superb here. Optus not so. So I'd have to stick with Telstra if I want a reliable network.

      • CacheHunter on 18/11/2020 - 14:48

        I wish that I had your Sydney reception. Where I am, not far from Hurstville, Telstra is shocking. Fortunately my phone switches to wifi calling at home because I regularly drop back to 3G or no data all (unless I go out the front door and stand on the front footpath). My whole house has excellent Optus and Voda coverage though.

        • nafe on 18/11/2020 - 15:18
          +2

          Agreed. Wife has Boost, I have Optus, there is NO difference in the signal strength. It really varies according to your specific location. Saying "Sydney" doesn't cut it.

          • Volution on 18/11/2020 - 16:22

            @nafe: At home, what speeds are you getting with each service. Just wondering the difference.

            • nafe on 19/11/2020 - 11:55
              +1

              @Volution: Honestly it varies day to day! I've tested my Optus one at work in North Ryde and over 250mbit down. At home its anything from 10-80! The Boost one I checked when we got it (switched from Optus funnily enough) and it was similar numbers. It's just where our house is I suspect.

      • bob19 on 18/11/2020 - 21:33

        I am in Sydney and drive to different suburbs for work.
        I used to have Optus (Amaysim & Catch Connect) and Vodafone (Kogan) before. Now I am with Telstra (Boost). I find I get more issues with Telstra than I used to have with Optus & Vodafone.

        • PeeDee on 18/11/2020 - 21:57

          Really? Are the suburbs you drive to more rural out urban?

  • xyron on 18/11/2020 - 12:48

    The Ts & Cs are confusing. It says "You must activate your chosen prepaid plan on catchconnect.com.au within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised on the promotion (whichever is earlier). Additionally, you must activate your Catch Connect SIM card within 24 months of purchase, otherwise the SIM card will be cancelled and any credit associated with it will be forfeited. "

    So if I buy this starter pack, I can activate it within 2 years? or do I have to active it within 30 days of buying it? I have a second SIM on Belong that I want to switch out to this once my remaining credit runs out (probably still another 3 months away…)

    • highon2str on 18/11/2020 - 13:34
      +1

      I'd like to know the answer to this too as I won't need to activate this until just after the new year.

    • Windows7forever on 18/11/2020 - 14:00

      It's a contradiction

    • pennypincher98 on 18/11/2020 - 14:37
      +3

      My understanding as a current Catch connect customer is
      - Activate within 30 days: $89 (less discounts)
      - Activate within 31 days-24 months: $120 (less discounts)

      Source: didn't activate a $4.90 SIM in time and now it wants to charge me $49.90 to activate.

    • jleetj on 18/11/2020 - 14:38
      +4

      I asked them about this and they said you must activate within 24 months, after which the credit will be wiped out. However, they recommend activating within 30 days as the offer T&Cs might change (and if it does change they will inform the customer).

  • henrus on 18/11/2020 - 12:55

    You'd be better to use a catch gift card (currently 8% off via Suncorp) for an instant saving rather than cash rewards.

  • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2020 - 12:55

    I thought this was 60 GB a month plan 😂😂😂.

    • Volution on 18/11/2020 - 13:00

      Your new years resolution could be self control by using 5gb per month under this new service LOL

    • alo1234 on 18/11/2020 - 14:11

      With the lockdown coming your way you won't need your 4G. Enjoy your NBN data :))

  • Phreebee on 18/11/2020 - 12:59

    FYI, you need to be 18 years or older to create an account and/or transfer to Catch Connect - I've just enquired. No good for my kids' phones which are in their names, unfortunately. Hope this info helps others. Kogan Mobile and I think Boost allow under 18 accounts. Any others Ozbargainers know of?

    • willyroo on 18/11/2020 - 13:30

      We just put the kids' phones in my name. Once they turn 18, sign a "change of ownership" form and away you go. 1 on Belong $10 1Gb per month (can't manage data), 1 on this one, and 1 on Boost $150.

    Does anyone know if we get to pick a number?

    Also is there an android widget that allows for real time data usage monitoring?

    • Neilzy on 18/11/2020 - 13:34

      No you cant pick number.

      I use glasswire on my burner Android to monitor usage

    • BargainShopaholic on 18/11/2020 - 14:10

      You can pick a number with amaysim, once that sim arrives activate it, then port over to catch!

      • highon2str on 18/11/2020 - 15:40

        That's an idea! How much is it to do that and can this be done online?

        • BargainShopaholic on 18/11/2020 - 15:50
          +2

          Yes it can be done online. You just get the cheapest Amaysim plan (right now it's $5 for 28 days). Give it a go before you actually sign up. It's free to try the steps listed below:

          • select a plan, the first page will ask you if you want to keep your number or get a new one:
          • select "get a new number"
          • select "pick a different one"
          • enter up to 5 consecutive numbers, like 22344, and see what comes up (do this until you find one that you like)

          Note: most are free, but some are considered premium (like 444, 555, etc) and will cost $30

    • pennypincher98 on 18/11/2020 - 14:41

      real time data usage monitoring

      Not a widget, but it should be in settings under "data usage". That's real time enough for me. I've got a 5GB limit set but don't go out enough anymore to hit it. By the time I am I'll have significant data banked.

  • BennyHe2018 on 18/11/2020 - 13:38

    So the best price can get is: $80.1 with Unidays and pay with Catch egift card (8% discount) = $73.7

    • tpopi on 18/11/2020 - 18:11

      Can't use Catch egift cards - found out too late - from the Ts and Cs:

      1. Gift Cards cannot be used to purchase Catch Connect services.

        You can use catch gift cards if you purchase the Sim from catch.com.au not catchconnect.com.au…did it yesterday

  • Iraqi on 18/11/2020 - 14:09

    Is the New customer definition same as Telstra i.e. 30 days with another provider?

  • PeeDee on 18/11/2020 - 14:19

    I'm pretty happy with boost. Network is very reliable. The competition is getting cheaper and cheaper nowadays so it's tempting.

    • pennypincher98 on 18/11/2020 - 14:39

      Kind of wish I had not been a tightass and stuck with Boost instead.
      The speed with Optus/Catch is noticeably slower (ex Telstra customer).

      • Volution on 18/11/2020 - 19:17

        I'm with boost and thinking of switching either with catch or coles. Now you make me not wanna do it. Thanks for the reminder.

    I'm trapped with CatchConnect. Each time I try to port-out the process fails and they refuse to say why- can’t 'due to privacy'.

    No idea what they are referring to - all details appear to be correct - they refuse to take it any further.

    Had to give-up and just buy more credit from them - probably part of their customer retention policy.

    • theUnderdog on 18/11/2020 - 14:38

      If you really want to port out just mention TIO. And if they still refuse after that then contact TIO. They would be very happy to assist you

    • duckworth on 20/11/2020 - 20:07

      I had the same problem with the Mrs's number.
      Tried to port out of catch to kogan.
      Called Kogan said it is being denied and to call catch. They re-tried.
      Called Catch - they said there has been no request
      Called Kogan - they asked if the number was still active - which is a definite yes. They tried again, and I told them I spoke to Catch.
      Called Catch - they said there was no request
      Called Kogan - they passed it to their tech for investigation
      Next day - credit expired from Catch - number still active. Had to renew - need the phone number

      3 days later - Kogan still hadn't ported the number.

      Overall - bad experience with catch and kogan playing ping pong even though there were two bad serves

      • Elmer Fudd on 28/11/2020 - 10:45

        I had a similar experience a few weeks back porting from Catch to Kogan. Didn't go through, even though details were correct.
        I ended up buying a $2 Telstra sim, ported from Catch to Telstra (using same details), then from Telstra to Kogan. Two step process took 15-20mins

    I think Coles (Optus too) had a similar deal to this for $90? down from $120.
