    Does it say anywhere how long you can wait before activation ?

    Never mind it is 30 days.

      I am in the same boat. This offer expires 13/07, I intend to buy it on 12/07 and activate on 09/08. I'll lose about 10 days on the old deal but that's close enough, I reckon

          I just asked the support team and they only mentioned 30 days, not the 13th of July. I'm planning to do the same as Branners.

          "Activating within 30 days will ensure that you do not miss out on any advertised benefits and inclusions that you have paid for as a part of your service. If you attempt to activate outside of this time frame, this may lead to issues with activation and/or the plan activating with credit that may not align with what you had purchased."

    • tjac87 on 18/06/2021 - 10:32

      You do not need to activate it within 30 days.. The sim card will remain active for 2 years.. You have already paid $119 and availed the promotion offer..So does it really matter when the sim card is activated? Correct me if I am wrong

      • PorkHunt on 18/06/2021 - 10:43

    Optus offering $150 for 120GB annual currently.
    Theoretically Coles should offer same 4G coverage but I've read a lot of reviews suggesting otherwise.

    • COVID-19 on 18/06/2021 - 09:55
      +4

      Coverage for 4G will be the same BUT…… When making a call with Coles, the call will drop back to 3G whereas with Optus it will be delivered on 4G.

      I have noticed that Optus 4G coverage is better than 3G so, I would assume for some people the "quality" will not be the same.

      For example, I am with Amaysim. I get 3/5 bars on 4G but when I make it receive a call, it drops down to 3G and I get 1/5 bars. The calls are bad.

      You also don't get wifi call and as mentioned above, VOLTE.

      I believe Spintel have wifi call and VOLTE that are an Optus reseller…and are the only ones to have it.

      Hope this helps.

      • mactos on 18/06/2021 - 10:08

        Thanks for clarification.
        I stuck with optus as can't risk lower/poorer coverage.
        Worth it for an extra $60 (for existing customers the deal is $180).
        I think the $150 direct optus deal is the way to go.

        Moose mobile(Optus Network) offer VOLTE and VOWifi .works great on my oneplus phone.

        • djoz on 18/06/2021 - 11:32

          Yup. Moose on Optus and Boost on Telstra are the only MVNO providing VoLTE at the moment. However, its dependent on your device firmware, so unless the operator "supports" the firmware, you wont get VoLTE. Been on Boost since 2+ years on my Redmi Note 5 Pro but dont get VoLTE at all. Telstra 3G Network is good (for calls), but they might repurpose the 3G Bands soon.

      • Emerald Owl on 26/06/2021 - 22:01

      @gristy: I picked up a vodafone prepaid $10 sim from coles last week for $4 and activated it on the long expiry plan. Can confirm that I get 5G. I am just leaving the sim in my alternate number, will be looking for a longer expiry cheaper deal. I was on the Aldi $5 365 day plan, but just ran out. I have one more of those sims from last year and will give that a go when this one runs out 😃

    Just be cautious around Optus network. I'll probably use it if I am in a really good area. If you are living a bit far off then avoid this.
    Would be great if somebody can share a coverage map of Optus.
    I personally prefer Boost cause it doesnt drop out much while I am travelling , but it is double the price

    • wisc on 18/06/2021 - 09:31

      I try calling people on the Optus network and it tells me that the area in calling is congested, (Suburbs in Melbourne) try later, heck I tried to call my friend on telstra from telstra and optus was telling me there where issues… no idea why as neither of us are on optus.

      If you are sticking to being loyal for Coles mobile then and have less data usage requirement for for the $99 one.

      Plus any unused data gets rolled over to next year plan( if recharged before expiry)

    • DealBreaker85 on 18/06/2021 - 09:59

            @min2: What did Optus say? It's it possible to select the $120 plan while activating the sim and pay extra? I'll be porting from boost so will try it out.

        none of the supermarkets refund on sim cards or credit, but they might if it is their own brand? Not sure. Ring a store and find out, but don't get your hopes up.

        • DealBreaker85 on 19/06/2021 - 11:41

          That's correct. I did visit the Coles store I bought from yesterday and they didn't exchange. Reason : no exchange on gift cards and Sim cards.

  • mangobango on 18/06/2021 - 09:31

    • USER DC on 18/06/2021 - 09:43

      I'm in metro Adelaide,

      I bloody hate using this Coles mobile on a dual Sim phone (whenever I call with Sim 1 aka Coles Mobile I cannot use data from Sim 2 aka Vodafone/Optus/any other Sim)

      May be this has to do with VOLte or something.

      BOOST IS WAY better than this, with VOLTe I think. But this will get the job of basic calls, data and messaging done

      • mangobango on 18/06/2021 - 11:01

        Damn that's a shame, Boost VoLTE doesn't work on my phone (poco X3).

        Heard Coles/Optus VoLTE works on it though so was thinking about swapping after expiry.

        Thanks for the comment!

        • USER DC on 18/06/2021 - 11:11

          It works fine on single Sim phone
          or
          using same Sim (Sim 1 only or Sim 2 only) for both data and call

          • mangobango on 18/06/2021 - 11:12

            @USER DC: Oh I see, my phone is dual sim but I never make use of it so should be okay.

        • Oofy Doofy on 18/06/2021 - 13:17

          Try disabling the phone volte/vowifi support check, it might work then. There's a bunch of stars, hashes and numbers you've got to enter and dial.

          Also sometimes if you were previously activated for those services on another provider, it can still work.

          For example, I went boost to Vodafone prepaid and it worked, (not supposed to) and then back to boost.

          • mangobango on 18/06/2021 - 14:01

            @Oofy Doofy: Yeah I've done that. Did all the necessary steps but Boost/Telstra volte/vowifi doesn't work for this phone for some reason.

            I've heard Optus works though so might swap over next time.

        • stephendt on 18/06/2021 - 13:20

          It does work, see tutorials on YouTube for enabling VOLTE

          • mangobango on 18/06/2021 - 14:01

            @stephendt: Yeah I've seen the tutorials and done all the steps.

            The phone just doesn't work with boost/telstra volte/vowifi.

      • Cluelessly on 18/06/2021 - 18:59

        Could it be that your dual Sim phone is dual standby? (when one is active you can't use the other).

        Even if the Coles Mobile had VoLTE, you'd be only able to use the Coles Sim to browse when making calls

        So if you were using the Boost Sim to make calls and Coles Sim to browse the internet you'd have the same issue.

        • USER DC on 18/06/2021 - 19:14

          No I don't think so the thing is that for me to be able to call with Sim 1 and use data for Sim 2 I need Sim 1 to be VOLTe otherwise no data until call is finished

          Was using Redmi note 9t 5g and network doesn't say VOLTe unlike Vodafone which does if that makes it any difference

  • OzViper on 18/06/2021 - 09:38

  • Foosa on 18/06/2021 - 09:55

    I made the mistake.

    I bought this for my wife and switched her over from the Belong's long expired $10 plan.

    I thought even if the reception was terrible, I could use Wifi Calling. Guess what, Coles Mobile doesnt support wifi calling although Optus does, I thought being an MVNO, they would have the same level of features.

    I hardly have a single bar of coverage indoors, I logged a case and this i what i received.

    "After an investigation by our Level 2 Technical Support - we regret to inform you that your residence has low indoor coverage there, 3G or 4G.

    There are also upgrades to your nearest mobile tower. While we’re working on it, there may be some service interruptions but we’ll try to keep this to a minimum. Thanks for being patient with us.This is scheduled to be resolved by 16/06/2021"

    Nearest mobile is still way too far from where I am and there has been 0 change in call quality after their supposed upgrades. We had decent coverage with Belong being Telstra MVNO. Im wondering if I could get any refunds as its only been a week since I ported over.

Both phones are Galaxy S10s… Go figure… Granted, Catch has no VoLTE or VoWIFI but, meh, it's a phone service that's cheap and works for me…

Customer support said there's an outage in your area, but don't understand how am I able to make outbound calls then. Asked for a refund and they said they can't until they investigate the issue. Overall not a good experience to start with. Boost was a lot better in terms of customer service too.
