    When do we need to activate to get the gc ?

      By 21st March 2021. It automatically sends txt to your phone number.

    Can these be activated for a 365 day expiry, like the aldi ones?
    Thanks

    • Neoika on 22/02/2021 - 20:01

      Yes, it does.

      Technically, Neoika is correct in that these $30 and $40 starter packs could be activated for long-term plans on Vodafone. Only the $40 starter pack will give you 365 days expiry (the $30 starter pack will only give you 180 days expiry). See this link for the long expiry plans that Vodaphone offer:

      https://www.vodafone.com.au/prepaid/plans/pay-and-go

      However, the above plans will NOT be eligible for the bonus $5 Coles e-gift card, as the terms in OP's post state clearly: "Eligible plans: $30 Prepaid Plus and $40 Prepaid Plus." Those plans both have only 28 day expiry.

    Is it still a bad idea to port between different MNVOs on the same carrier? Currently on Kogan and would like to jump over to this if that's less problematic these days.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2021 - 19:27

      update: Porting from Kogan to Vodafone was straightforward and fast.

        That's awesome to hear. I've lived with the doctrine of do not port within the same carrier for a long time…. Glad improvements are still being made in this world! sigh

    • shoppe on 24/02/2021 - 12:31

      The gift cards will only be supplied to customers activating $30 and $40 SIMs on Prepaid Plus plans purchased at Coles during that period.

    You can activate on any of the available Vodafone prepaid plans however to receive the $5 Coles egift card you need to be activating on Prepaid Plus.

    • USER DC on 24/02/2021 - 14:02

      i am having problems activating mine called vodafone number they told me to go to store for id verification.

      that will not hinder the 5$egift card qualification yeah?

      • AssociatedJohnnoT6 @ Coles on 24/02/2021 - 14:35

        Not at all (as long as it was purchased from a Coles Supermarket), once it is activated, you should receive your egift card within 72 hours.

          cool it was purchased from coles kilburn, have kept recipt too in case for this e gift card doesn't come up.
          thank you
          after activation will go to test out 5g in outer harbour, kidman park etc

            • USER DC on 24/02/2021 - 21:07

              @JohnnoT6: tried at multiple locations at outer harbour and royal park as per network map you linked but still no 5g network although 4g speed was good there av around 185 Mb, max 221 Mb download but on 4g network only

                    @USER DC: i can confirm it doesn't give me 5g , just connected with optus 5g today and works totally fine with upto 320 Mb download

                    although optus had to manually enable 5g

                    in short vodafone sucks at 5g even in coverage areas cant deliver 5g

          No problem! Basically we just wanted to give customers more time to activate to redeem their eGift cards. Rather than cut it all off when the price Promo ended. Thanks!

            I activated on Saturday 20/3, I did not get confirmation that my service was being ported until monday 22, neither have I been given a link to the $5 coles GC, any Ideas? I already emailed [email protected] . Not a peep back yet.

            WIth kind regards.

  • zenzen on 03/03/2021 - 10:02

    The package says 'Recharge on Prepaid Plus'.
    So if I am already on Voda Prepaid Plus plan, can I 'recharge' on my current Voda Prepaid Plus plan using this card after purchase at Coles?

    • Magic Mirror on 03/03/2021 - 13:19
      +1

      I don't think you can. These are "starter packs", so you need to port in a non-Vodafone number or activate with a new numbers.

      About the word "recharge", it seems telcos usually consider activating a SIM as an activation with $0 value then immediately do a recharge. Hence "1st recharge" means the initial activation.

      • Neoika on 03/03/2021 - 13:50

        Someone also pointed out there is a 30 day waiting period for being re-accepted as a new VF customer. Current VF numbers can not make it for this deal.

      • zenzen on 03/03/2021 - 15:27

        Thanks for the info. Still I believe 'recharge' on $0 sim is not 're' charge as it has no charge record and first time hence misleading and confusing. Anyway not so bad deal.

    I bought a 30 dollar pre paid starter sim card from Coles last Monday 1st March. I activated the card last Thursday 4th March by porting number over from a optus pre paid plan.

    I haven’t received my $5 coles egift card yet

    Just wondering if it’s still coming.

    Emailed [email protected] yesterday and sent you a message Johnnot6

    I emailed on Saturday. I haven't received my gift card, yet.

  • shoppe on 26/03/2021 - 12:17

    Conditions say you need to activate by 21/03/21.

    Does that include the 21st or does it actually mean you have to activate it BEFORE the 21st?

    • theone4Abargain83 on 27/03/2021 - 12:48

      I ended up activating my service on 20th, however the porting team had already closed on that saturday and the service did not come online until porting started again on monday 22nd. I later contacted Vodafone and got a follow up call from someone in the indian call centre, they told me to go back to coles as the offer was from coles, however I advised them, this was an offer if purchased from coles stores would only be given to those vodafone customers, so it was an offer from vodafone exclusively for customers who purchased vodafone from coles stores only.

      Their indian call centre team clearly did not undertand the offer, I have also emailed the address the Rep in this thread provided, not a single response from that email or the Rep, looks like a cold case!

      Still waiting as of today 27-03-2021.

      • Neoika on 27/03/2021 - 12:54

        I got eGC SMS right after activation, before porting was done, also on the 20th but in the morning. If only you had inserted SIM at that time!

        Now I know why some people did not receive it because the eGC SMS was sent to default number on the starter pack! When they inserted the SIM, it was already their ported number.

        • theone4Abargain83 on 27/03/2021 - 12:57

          Inserting the sim, while it was not activated? Was I supposed to get the sms to the Tempoary number? I had ported in to Vodafone. This is very unfair if the SMS was sent to the Tempoary number?!

          • Neoika on 27/03/2021 - 12:58

            @theone4Abargain83: But possibly, for people who opened a new number, it wont be a problem. Thats just my thinking!

            • theone4Abargain83 on 27/03/2021 - 13:03

              @Neoika: I was advised on the website to not insert the sim until porting had occured. You would expect once your service is moved to Vodafone that everything would flow through, the only sms sent to me was how to install the Vodafone app for my phone. This offer sounds like a major failure, even the Reps who have been responding on this thread have gone quiet!

              I left vodafone many years ago, I thought things might have changed after the vodafail situation a few years ago, doesn't seem like much has changed!

              • Neoika on 27/03/2021 - 13:10

                @theone4Abargain83: One positive side is the speed is actually not capped after data runs out, from my last month exp. It is essentially unlimited data!

                • theone4Abargain83 on 27/03/2021 - 13:18

                  @Neoika: That might be one positive aspect, however I am not satisfied by their customer service rep response over the phone. I would like what I purchased honoured. Maybe a rep my DM me here. There is clearly no loyalty to the customer.

                  • Neoika on 02/04/2021 - 14:43

                    @theone4Abargain83: The speed is indeed capped after data run-out now. Just did the test, 1.57Mbps.

  • rickyricardo6 on 28/03/2021 - 09:18

    Same issue here, still yet to receive the gift card after almost 2 weeks. I ported out and didn’t insert sim beforehand like others.

    • theone4Abargain83 on 01/04/2021 - 20:04

      I have finally been sent the eGC from Vodafone. My service was applied for activation after Saturday business hours on Saturday 20th, on Monday 22nd it was active when the porting team came back online. On Wednesday 31 March I was sent the email from AUVODAFONE.

      Hope anyone in the same situation get theirs soon.

      Happy Long Week End.
