Still awaiting for this to happen!
Missed out again My life is over.
Telecommuncation company have little hassles to allocate data allowances and plans across their network for certain lenght of time. depends on how many sign up this price yesterday, they might just offer it at the end as it don't bite that much of their bottomline as a store with physical goods
Yes because they will expect some people will keep the plan and pay full price next year?
Or forget to cancel?
Soon As I get Sim card I turn off auto recharge
@Willco88: I'll be ~4 credit cards down the line by the time the 365 days is up, so they couldn't charge it even if they tried to
Or the fact people that signed up are now Catch customers can now get targeted for marketing material and might buy other merchandise they would have no otherwise bought had they not purchased this.
Sadly bought this couple of days ago. Thought I'd be good getting a uniday catch code and using gift cards. Ah well.
This is not a bargain YET, so you still got a very good deal with that combo.
Are you saying Catch Connect is unlikely to honour the $30 payment for this deal?
I couldn't find anything about pricing errors on their T&Cs.
Well, they have no obligation to honor the price error, so it's up to them. Just wait and see.
I bought the $89 60GB plan a week ago.. still waiting in the mail. Don't I feel stupid now?
amaysim deal is better for $100
I can't find any non-expired $100 deals on Amaysim.
its by referral.. look up on ozbarain thread.. someone with flick u one
Has anyone had order shipped? My order shows up on account but payment is still pending
Nope
Good PR if they honour it … just saying…I'm sure optus wouldn't mind other couple thousand users on their network either
Good PR if they honour it
Are you going to stay once this cheap plan ends?
I reckon they will - its Wesfarmers now, not them Israelis.
I wish you could see all my cancelled orders from them :)
Like I said, they would honour and they have.
No updates here still pending
after 8 days my order was still stuck at the same stage. Catch is just ultra slow.
Anyone heard d from Catch or had the processing on their order move along?
Pretty sure my authorisation only charged to my credit card has been reversed. It’s not there anymore. Prepare for refunds!
Actually I take that back, it’s just been processed :)
My $30 has been processed
MONEY has been taken and proceeded from my account still waiting on updated from Catch
Confirming funds cleared
Shipped?
It has been charged to my credit card but the status on the Catch account says "Your order's fulfillment is currently pending". So until it has shipped, I would not hold my breath …
I opted for express shipping but still no info on shipping. Talk to their customer Rep, they are saying they are escalating. Let see.
I like the non price error $89 for 60GB using Uni/Studentbeans 10% off with the current 15% off gift cards = $68.
But they wont let me order more than 1 at a time .
They had a deal recently where you could get 120GB for $83
How when?

$88 last BF. But LatitudePay no longer accepts CatchConnect products.
Use a different email?
My daughter always say, you get what you get and you don't get upset.
That's a great train of thought to not get what you want in life.
Sheep mentality
Just got an e-mail.
tl;dr price error, but we'll honour 1 sim, if you did more we'll refund the rest.
Good on Catch connect for honouring it
No email for me. I ordered 1, did you get 2?
Yeah and got that e-mail.
Same. Got the email. Pretty good deal.
Same. Good on Catch. And suck bxlls to broden.
so that's it, happy ending. everyone will at least get one. good for 2021, let's see what we will get for 2022
I also ordered 1 only and I still didnt get the email.
they only emailed people who ordered multiples by the looks of these comments
For those who ordered only 1, I hope they are still considering honouring. These are truly the ones who didn't take undue advantage and stuck to Catch's rule of "1 per new customer".
Looks like it
My current 365 days plan finishes on the 3rd feb (with Boost), do i need to port my current number out first in order to keep the number alive? As I am very certain I wont get the new sim on the 3rd feb even if they shipped it out today.
Depends who your current plan is with. If carrier is Optus, then yes. Move to a Telstra or Vodafone carrier and then back.
Boost is Telstra so you would need to extend or port to another SIM but just not anythin Optus based.
Thanks, sorry what do you mean by 'just not anythin Optus based'? Is CatchConnect Optus based? Does that mean I cant port it out to any Optus based sim for the time been?
Correct and that's assuming you plan on porting into this SIM when (if) it arrives. Catch Connect are Optus. If you don't plan on extending with Boost (which is Telstra) and want to keep your number, you are best off porting to Vodafone for now (easiest option). Then port across from it to here.
Reason: As you are already with Telstra, it's a pain trying to port to another Telstra based plan and to keep your number (although can be done). In turn just leaves Vodafone. I hope that makes sense!
Wanted to get some closure on this so online chatted them. Was informed explicitly that eligibility for the promotion is still valid even if porting from the same network provider. The only condition is that you are currently a non-CatchConnect customer. So porting from amaysim (Optus network) to CatchConnect for instance would qualify for this deal
You don't need to port out of Optus to another carrier first. It still works, but takes a few extra days, but porting out and then back in again also takes a few extra days.
Tldr, can port directly from Optus carrier to Catch.
they will have grey period and your sim only can receive sms, for kogan it's about 60 days. you might need to chat with them and ask about how long you can keep your sim withou plan
You will not be able to make calls but as long as that doesnt bother you, just port after it arrives. I have done that plenty of times.
The one small annoyance, some companies ask you to reply to a SMS to confim you have that number before porting. You will not be able to reply. You have to call them to give them the code they sent. Only takes a few min but still, not ideal.
I actually had this problem the other day when porting from Amaysim to Kogan however the reply SMS worked even though I had no credit on PAYG. So maybe the mobile carriers allow for the reply SMS to work as this would be cheaper for them than ringing customer service?
That would be a logical idea.
I have had it fail to send though so it must just be some carriers.
Good to know though, i'll give it a go if i get stuck in that position.
Ordered 1 no email for me
Same here. Ordered only one, no email yet. In my account it is still showing "Your order's fulfillment is currently pending"
ordered only one, no email. hopefully they will reply tmr
If those order multiple Sims get 1, I don't see why you won't.
STILL NOTHING HAPPENED
……and?
STILL PENDING
Still Pending here, ordered x1, no emails….
SAME HERE
Try turn CAPS lock off.
Recieved the following just then. Only purchased one sim.

Got that email now too and purchased 1 as well.
Same here
Looks like they are honouring! I ordered just one sim

Received this too! Did not expect it to be honoured tbh.
I like the way catch has managed this. Honouring ONE sim is extremely fair (especially considering all the '1 per customer' notices there were).
Well played Catch… Well played!
Hopefully we all remember this next year when it comes time to renew!
Yeah I agree the one sim is very fair approach, however I don't like the generic email wording (when I didn't make extra purchases): "Refunds for YOUR extra purchases are currently underway and will appear back on your card shortly.".
Since generic email they should update to: "Refunds for ANY extra purchases are currently underway and IF APPLICABLE will appear back on card shortly."
Lol you're gonna nitpick @ that?
Same. Ordered 1 and that email came in. Nice that they are honouring the error.
Only ordered one sim and got the email saying they will honour it.
Top notch Catch!
Well done to Catch Connect for honouring the purchase, especially considering that it was a clear price error. Companies like The Good Guys could learn a lot from Catch Connect.
Yep. Got the same email that they are going to honor the order. I ordered one sim only. Well done Catch Connect!
Well done catch. Didn't expect it to be honoured but outstanding decision.
Got the same confirmation also, well done Catch Connect for honouring the pricing error!
Ah good stuff. $30 for the 120GB data (as a backup if needed). Don't need it for calls as already with Boost which have Int'l calls included which I need. They will perhaps gain $30 profit from me as may not even use it if no downtime over 365days.
Can always pass it to someone else.
I could but know nobody as everyone is with Boost which was better value on original $150 deal (all need Int'l calls included) :-)
You can pass it to me. Thank you.
Sell in the classifieds for a profit.
Only ordered one sim and got the email saying they will honour it.
Top notch Catch!
Likewise. Big thanks to OP as well.
Same here

Nice little bonus. Boost running out in about 2 weeks. Can handle the change to Floptus for 30 bucks
Yay, honouring for me as well.
Poor form mate
