    Could potentially price-beat at Officeworks for additional saving 150GB vs 200GB

      Different data allowance.

  • shadowarrior on 13/12/2021 - 17:40

    Wonder if they have restrictions on using this sim for a data hotspot device only.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Woolworths on 13/12/2021 - 18:28

      Hi shadowarrior, the Critical Information Summary says "Tethering permitted to personal devices only, but must not be used in a modem or as a substitute for a home internet service."

      As someone who works in a retail store, I have never heard of someone's Vodafone service being cancelled because they used it purely as a hotspot, but it is technically against the terms and conditions of use as per the Critical Information Summary.

      • shadowarrior on 13/12/2021 - 23:00

        Thanks, yeah, will be for personal devices mainly. Thanks!

      • shadowarrior on 14/12/2021 - 17:21

        Hey another quick question, how is the data allocated? Is it 12.5GB per month limit x12 months? Or total 150GB and if you run out of it early then you have no additional data. @bigdumbhead

        • Oofy Doofy on 17/12/2021 - 15:42
          +1

          You can use the data as much or as little as you like every month, it's just limited to the total and there's no shaping down to 1.5 Mbps etc, you'll be sh out of luck. Just set data limits/reminders on your phone, simple enough.

            @belongsinforums: Belong, like Aldi and all other Telstra resellers EXCEPT Boost, uses the Telstra Wholesale network.

            Boost is the only MVNO that uses the full Telstra 3G/4G network (but not 5G), which is probably why jwh is recommending Boost.

            Which is strange, because AFAIK, Belong is owned by Telstra…I guess Boost was just the savviest negotiator / negotiated exclusive rights to be the only reseller on the full Telstra network.

          • cpurn on 14/12/2021 - 09:14

      Yes, they expire 365 days from purchase.

        as in 365 days to activate the sim then 12 months from there? Or effectively activated at time of purchase?

              @MuddyClear: when we sell prepaid starter packs in vodafone stores they are registered as "sold" through some kind of vodafone prepaid sales system, so I'm guessing the same thing happens at all stores that sell prepaid starter packs.
              I'm sorry if that's a vague explanation, I'm not sure how to explain it properly, but sale dates of vodafone starter packs are definitely monitored

            @[Deactivated]: Say, I buy it today (15th Dec 2021) and activate/port my number on 15th Jan. 2022, will I then get 12 Months of usage from today or 15th Jan 2022?

      • imcold on 13/12/2021 - 19:26

        That doesnt seem right, sold in the gift card section, has no value until purchased like a gift card, transferable after purchase like a gift card, then it should have a 3 year expiration like a gift card.

          I'm not allowed to recommend you doing that, but in my experience with customers who've told me they did this, there is no amount of time needed for them to port back in after porting out

    Also the prepaid sim supports VoLTE and also as of last week VoWiFi. The rep can confirm if you doubt me.

    Does anyone know if this can be used as a recharge for an existing Vodafone prepaid service, or if I'd need to port out instead? I'm currently on Vodafone postpaid, and thinking about transferring my number to prepaid then recharging using this pack.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Woolworths on 13/12/2021 - 19:54

      starter packs like this can't be used to recharge existing services; your scenario of porting out and in would work though I'm not allowed to recommend that lol

    Hey guys tomorrow woolworths will be also selling 80gb sims valid for 6 months for $50 (Lebara which uses Vodafone). I think the sims might possibly stack if you want (usually up to 4 of them), so you would get 160gb plus some international unlimited for $100. Use the 10% off if you have Woolies insurance so potentially $90

    • GTR12 on 14/12/2021 - 00:30

      No VoLTE or VoWIFI on Lebara.

      • fozzie on 14/12/2021 - 07:22

        Vodafone has no international minutes and you can’t gift data. Lebara has data bank and also let’s you gift up to 10gb a month. And it’s more data for less money

        • GTR12 on 14/12/2021 - 08:10

          International minutes is the only big difference.

          I'd rather be able to make/receive calls and sms' than have more data and gifting.

          Oh and 5G.
