    Nice inclusions..but I suffered through the last couple of weeks of optus on my previous 365 day catchconnect plan, never again. Texts were refusing to send, for weeks.

      Although Boost is dearer, I am happy with their speed and coverage. This sim is good for a spare number or data sim. Not reliable enough for your main number used everyday.

      • OzMike on 24/09/2021 - 10:01

        YOu mention this could be used as a data sim. Would I be able to put it in a wifi dongle?

        • aj3000 on 24/09/2021 - 10:30

          Yes. I use it with my Optus dongle connected to Asus WiFi router

      • sepa on 27/09/2021 - 17:42

        I'm ditching Boost after they ditched the plan I was on and increased the cost 33%. This Catchconnect deal is way better value compared to Boost's current plans.

        No noticeable difference between Catchconnect/Optus and Telstra in Melbourne or anywhere else I've been in the eastern states in the last few years. My wife is on Optus and I regularly compare with Boost. Sometimes Boost is faster, sometimes Optus, depends on tower location, but I've never had reception when she hasn't. It might be different in Far North Queensland or outback WA but I'm not paying extra for Telstra's alleged superior coverage that doesn't deliver in 99% of locations.

        • hawkeye93 on 30/09/2021 - 08:49

          The $150 plan? But the $200 is regularly on sale for around $154.

    • NervousBurger on 23/09/2021 - 23:32

      Hi mate, do you mean you can't send standard SMS messages with catch connect plan? Bit worried since I just ordered it.

      • Rain Cloud on 24/09/2021 - 06:43
        +1

        Yeah, it would tell me it failed to send, and I'd resend it over and over for up to 30 mins to get it to send. But i had no issues for the first 9 months or so, and some have reported no issues, so it still depends on your area. If optus works in your area you'd be fine

    • Hugh G Rection on 24/09/2021 - 09:30

      you must live in woop woop, i never had an issue. i had to switch out because i bought iPhone pro max outright when it released last year and needed 5g coverage. worked perfectly fine with my iPhone 11 pro max with there 4g network.

      • Rain Cloud on 24/09/2021 - 10:04

        I live regional but not rural. Never had an issue with optus even when i lived rural, but the service went shocking about 3 months ago and never went back to what it was

      I've been with Catch Connect for 12 months and never had a single issue. most of my family and friends are with them now also.
      This has come at a good time as my existing 12-month plan is about to expire. Time to port out and back in again :)
      Thanks OP!!!!

    • sepa on 27/09/2021 - 18:01

      Sorry, but this is a silly comment. It has nothing to do with Catchconnect but Optus reception in your locale, or it could be a problem with your phone. If Telstra has poor coverage in your suburb (as it did in mine for years until they built a new tower) then you will have problems sending texts with Telstra. It's all about the phone tower location, which differs with the area and the provider.

      • Elmer Fudd on 28/09/2021 - 11:46

        I have seen similar issues to what Rainbowbutterfly has indicated with my wife's catch connect mobile service, yet I never experienced the issue on my catch connect. For my wife SMS would sporadically delay to send, sometimes taking 30 minutes to send. It was not coverage or phone related, it was CatchConnect (I know they are just an Optus MVNO). Forced my wife to change providers and the issue has not reoccurred.

        • sepa on 28/09/2021 - 12:16

          Which provider did she switch to? What model phone? And if you had no problem with texts on Catchconnect in the same locale, how does that prove your wife's issues were caused by Catchconnect?

          • Elmer Fudd on 28/09/2021 - 14:07

            @sepa: I used her phone for a month on my catch connect service, I had no issue. her phone issue still occured. Can't see how that can possibly be related to Optus coverage in my locale or phone related as you suggest.

    • hawkeye93 on 23/09/2021 - 16:29

      Voda vs Optus. Depends on your location.

    • 0jay on 23/09/2021 - 16:32

      I’ve found them to be on par in inner Melb, Voda probably pips out front on sustained speed

    • SimAus007 on 24/09/2021 - 11:23

      Do you travel or live outside a cap city?
      Landmass wise, Optus coverage is huge compared to Vodafone, but if you only use your service in a well-populated area Vodafone is just as good.

  • lomie on 23/09/2021 - 16:48

    I bought too early when it was only 120GB here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/602644
    Clicking on that link shows 240GB. So maybe the bonus data will apply.

  • hello007 on 23/09/2021 - 17:04

    Any ideas/tricks on how to buy this deal now but not activate it and not start the 365 days until April next year when my current deal with another carrier expires?

    CatchConnect's online chat seems to say this is not possible.

    • hawkeye93 on 23/09/2021 - 19:01
      +2

      You have like 1 year to activate the sim, iirc. However, whatever you get depends on the available plan at that time. So if they somehow decide to drop amount of data to 60GB, then that’s what you would get.

      • cloudy on 23/09/2021 - 20:48

    "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"

    What is the difference between activating the prepaid plan and activating the SIM card?

    • hawkeye93 on 23/09/2021 - 19:04

      Activate within 30 days will secure you the bonus data. You have a year to activate the SIM but what you get depends on the plan available at that time.

      I purchased using shopback but am only tracking $0.99, did you track $3.47 straight away? I signed up with a $10 referral so brings the total to $98 at least either way so I'm pretty happy.

  • powerful9990 on 23/09/2021 - 20:11

    I just had 2 catch plans expiring. I stayed on 1 plan with catch and took $89 - 85gb deal. I hoped to Telstra - no problem. But I had issues when I tried to connect to Catch again. It took them 5 days to connect the service. Their customer service was ok-ok as they won't tell me in detail what was the issue. Eventually got connected.

    But for the other service I went with Boost and I am very happy with it as it gives VoLTE and Wifi-calling which Catch doesn't give. Since it's Telstra there are no coverage and 4G speed issues.

    I would say if you are hoping a carrier better to wait at least 1 week before connecting again to same carrier.

  • justcallmeboss on 23/09/2021 - 20:20

      Can I bring my phone number with me?
      Transferring a phone or service number between phone companies is called 'porting'. Porting can take up to 2 business days to complete, however should be much quicker.

      What needs to happen if you want to keep your number and transfer it to Catch Connect?

      Head to activate and have your new Catch Connect Prepaid SIM & your credit card or debit card details handy.
      During the process we will send you an SMS to verify you want to bring your mobile number over to Catch Connect. Please keep your current SIM in your device to receive this SMS.
      Please ensure when you enter your details, they match the details of your current Mobile Service Provider's record.
      Select 'Keep Your Number' when you've reached the Your Number section and enter your mobile number.
      After we have confirmed all of the relevant details, we'll do the rest for you.
      Note: Once your number has switched over to Catch Connect, your current service will be disconnected.

  • axatag on 24/09/2021 - 08:54

    I am using catch and want to use 2nd sim with catch. Am I count as New customer?

    • Global Nomad on 24/09/2021 - 09:51

      Catch have noticeably dropped the 'New customer only' blue banners from each offer and now just refer to a 'new service'.
      I would read this as meaning if a customer is setting up a new service, ie a new number and not porting their existing number over then the same customer could run this offer concurrently with their existing plan.

      Good question and would need to be verified before parting with the hard earned oola doola.

      • axatag on 24/09/2021 - 11:50

  • artxo on 24/09/2021 - 09:44

    I notice several questions relating to what constitutes a new customer. The OP says new services only, with no mention of having to be a new customer. I understand that means it applies to existing customers who order a second service, as well as to new customers. Is my understanding correct?

      Snap.

Chat advised it's within 30days of purchase (i bought it on 22Aug) and I can't use other Catch sim card which I had bought earlier, have to use the one I bought for the deal.
