      Nope. You need to go on an eligible post-paid plan with either Optus or Telstra to unlock the privilege of paying extra to get an eSIM for an Apple Watch.

      This is just a sim anyway, not even an eSIM - so regardless no.

      • CocaKoala on 16/12/2020 - 06:59

        It's amazing how our telcos are ripping us off. I can't wait for one of them to start offering esim at normal price and let us use prepaid so that competition sets in. Right now though they're ganging up to loot us.

  • malich on 15/12/2020 - 21:20

    I bought their black Friday deal (same or similar price).

    I had read about bad experiences when ported from Telstra to boost, but I didn't have any issues. Called the boost phone number and they put me on hold while they sorted the whole thing. Port was complete about 20 minutes after

    • melbstheburn on 15/12/2020 - 21:37

    Any deals for $200 sim please? My last year deal of $300 is expiring this month, still 110 gb remaining. Had a chat with Boost online, they are happy to rollover the remaining data even a new sim is purchased. As per them, to contact them once new sim arrives. They are happy to transfer my number and data to new sim. This way no need to port out and port in back.

      Sounds like good service.

      Analsim refused to offer me a Black Friday plan so I left them to join Boost shortly after.

    • Phoenix108 on 17/12/2020 - 11:12

      I just spoke to boost online chat. Apparently data rollover is NOT possible.

      "If it's moving the number to a new sim, yes that can be done

      If we change the sim and transfer your number that includes disconnecting th current sim to have the number transferred and disconnecting the sim will delete all your recharge. So we can't transfer that data on the new sim."

    • cheaponos on 18/12/2020 - 06:38

      So Boost online chat gave the all clear to use a new sim, keep your existing number, and rollover your unused data?

      • NPB on 06/01/2021 - 19:27

        yes, successfully transferred with remaining balances with data. I paid $152 from my deal for $200 sim.

    Just a note guys, boost does not have phone tech support. They have online chat. My experience has been very poor with their response times in the chat, then the whole chat window times out and your back at the beginning again.

    I'm leaving these guys as soon as my credit is up.

    I'm still getting about 50% of my incoming calls going straight to voice mail and about 20% of my outbound calls not actually dialling.

    The same thing happens with my wifes phone as well. They have been completely useless.

    • pichxlonco on 15/12/2020 - 22:07

      I've never had any problems with boost in my area. I did though test a few providers before committing to boost. I tried optus, amaysim and boost, compared how they worked and then choose one. I recommend everyone to get cheap sim cards and test the service in you area first before committing to a year long plan

      • frazel on 15/12/2020 - 22:43

        Hahha people neg me for speaking of my experience.

        Everything started off ok with them, then about 6 months in my wife had issues, then 1 month later I had issues and they haven't been fixed.

        It seems like there are die heart boost fans out there

        • pichxlonco on 15/12/2020 - 22:59

          yeah, for sure, no reason for people to neg you, as it is your experience and the fact that there is only chat support is something that needs to be pondered when deciding to switch. I mean, i haven´t had a single problem, so i´m ok with chat support, but i guess it would be a completely different story if i was running into problems with my phone signal and had to wait too long between chat messages to try to get my problem solved. I hope you get a solution to your problem, i assume you have tried testing with other simcards on the same network as Boost (telstra) and other simcards form other companies and even your current sim on a different phone. It might be useful to try to isolate the problem. From what i understand, boost uses telstra, so maybe telstra did some optimisation or adjustments on an antenna near your house. You could try getting a cheap sim form telstra, testing if it works for you, and if not giving them a call to see if they can fix it internally with their engineering team, and then, it would also mean it has been solved on your end. You could also try to contact boost and ask them to issue you with a replacement sim card. Maybe your sim card (and your wife´s) have a configuration problem on boosts servers, so issuing a new one (kind of like a copy of your current one) could solve the problem as they would be considered "new" simcards but with the same number associated to them (kind of like a refresh)

          • frazel on 16/12/2020 - 15:54

            @pichxlonco: Hi thanks for the positive comment, yeah I have tried a different phone, and multiple locations around Brisbane. I haven't tried a sim card but there's a slim chance I suppose it could be that. My guess is more likely that it's a technical issue at their end.

            Pretty frustrating…

            • pichxlonco on 16/12/2020 - 16:38

              @frazel: For sure it's something on their end, but that might still be associated to your sim card. I used to work in telco, so i still have a general understanding on why some things could be happening. One possibility, given that both your wife's and your phone started failing is that a nearby antenna was adjusted (output power, antena tild, angle, etc). Since you tried around brisbane and the problem persists, then it must be something inside the whole network (the antenna controllers, or deeper inside the network). If it was a widespread issue, they would have identified it by now, as many users would be having the same issue, so it must be for you and your wife (and maybe a few other people), in which case might be associated to our SIM card. The simcard has a number (called IMSI) which is unique, and that number is registered inside another network element called the HLR (or used to be called that way from what i remember), where some of your profile and "plan properties" are stored. Maybe something in that HLR profile is wrong for your current SIM (IMSI number) therefore is causing issues for you, so maybe getting a replacement SIM card from Boost might solve as it will mean they will give you a new SIM card (with a new IMSI), but associated to your current phone. Maybe when creating the new IMSI on the HLR, they will properly update your profile and info in there and that might solve the problem.

              Alternatively you could test with a cheap telstra sim card. Since boost uses the telstra network, you can then verify that its not a network problem but rather something on your profile/sim/phone/etc, or that it's only happening on the boost part of the network and not a telstra thing.

              The important thing would be to confirm with boost if they can issue you with a new replacement simcard to check if that solves things. I would want to be in your position. I was with a company a while ago that was giving me the same problems (e.g. calls not coming into my phone) but that was happening at the same time i was looking for work, so i didn't want to risk an employer calling me and me not receiving the call, so i quickly switched providers to avoid problems.

    • Marrk on 16/12/2020 - 09:10

      Generally speaking Boost (Telstra) should have better reception than Amaysim (Optus), though it can vary in some areas. It is also worth mentioning that Amaysim does not have VOLTE.

      • Bargain666 on 16/12/2020 - 13:44

        Yes but reality is different. I am still using Boost and waiting for plan to get over as i have made mistake of buying for one year. I believe call connectivity and proper signal reception is bare minimum to ask from any telco let alone VOLTE.

  • Public21 on 15/12/2020 - 23:40

    When they say unlimited calls to "standard national numbers" what does that mean? Does that include other mobiles from any carrier and 13 numbers?

    Also we have a pretty poor Telstra signal at home and use the wi-fi calling feature on the iPhone to get better call quality. Is that still available with Boost?

    I'm with Telstra and they have just "upgraded" my data with another 10gb a month and of course charged me more. I don't use the old data limit so the upgrade is just a revenue measure. This deal looks interesting.

    • Oofy Doofy on 16/12/2020 - 01:40

      Yes, Boost has Vowifi as long as your device supports it.

    • sh4hp on 16/12/2020 - 07:51

      Yes wifi calling is available.

      Exactly the reason a few of my family members have gotten this boost pack as well. They were on $39/m for 30gb and unlimited local call/text, and telstra decided to change that to $59/m with 60gb. Same boat with you where they barely used 10gb/m with wifi available everywhere.

      • Public21 on 16/12/2020 - 07:56
