      Telstrafail, Floptus. It's almost like somone on here has had a bad experience with one of them because their location varies.

        Yep. It really gets tiring when someone posts a deal for said mobile provider that so many have the chime in on poor coverage.
        Unless you've been living under a rock for the past decade, everyone knows the coverage for all 3 mobile networks in their area, no need to repeatedly comment on "poor coverage" with x provider.
        Telstrafail, Hellstra, Vodafail, Floptus, it's all so childish.

        • zombie hunter on 23/03/2022 - 19:58

          i agree with coverage varies. it is becoming a broken record,
          However calling them vodafail helstra and floparse whatever is more tongue in cheek type humour like calling Barry, Bazza and Sharon, Shazza.

      Future joint venture. Pending approval..

      • bargaineer on 23/03/2022 - 08:26
        +1

        It will get approved. It’s a pretty good thing for rural and regional Australia mobile competition.

        For clarity it’s a deal that gives Vodafone access to Telstra towers. It’s not a roaming agreement. Vodafone will broadcast their signal from Telstra towers and control the experience end to end.

        If Rod Simms doesn’t approve it, it will be simply him cutting off his nose to spite his face. He is still bitter about the Vodafone TPG merger getting up.

        All in all, I can’t wait as Vodafone’s network where it does work currently is very good in my experience.

    • Binchicken22 on 23/03/2022 - 08:25

      Telstra wholesale Network yes (which isn't the same as the Telstra direct network). But yes it will be quite beneficial for voda customers.

      • bargaineer on 23/03/2022 - 08:36
        +2

        It’s not Telstra Wholesale, though just for clarity as that implies Vodafone are roaming.

        While it seems like the coverage footprint is similar, it’s actually Vodafone broadcasting their signal using shared RAN equipment.

        Vodafone will have seperate dedicated backhaul and control everything about the experience.

        The other important point is that Vodafone will be combining their spectrum with Telstra’s, and will be broadcasting 5G. This combined spectrum will produce some really fast speeds in many rural and regional areas.

        I bet Optus are pretty worried about this.

        • Binchicken22 on 23/03/2022 - 19:48

          Ok, that's mostly all over my head lol.

          So will the coverage footprint be more or less the same as Telstra wholesale?

          Edit: I guess this means the implementation will be a bit more involved than just "flicking a switch", so I'd expect the timeframe to be a little while down the track, pending approval of course…

          • bargaineer on 23/03/2022 - 21:29

            @Binchicken22: The population % is the same same so likely close to Telstra wholesale. There are 169 Vodafone towers that Telstra are getting access to, so it could be slightly different.

            I guess the point I was trying to make is, this isn’t just another Optus roaming deal but with Telstra, where Telstra pulls all the string and limits speeds and what not.

            This deal is the same experience for customers as if Vodafone went and built all these towers. They have full control. PLUS they will have access to the combined spectrum of both companies.

            It won’t be flick of a switch, but it’s not far off. All the changes required are within Telstra and Vodafone’s core network, so no one has to climb any towers or anything like that.

            I’m predicting later this year, but considering government and the ACCC are involved, who knows.

      Not sure what you mean? You can get this Vodafone SIM starter kit and switch, if that's what you are asking.

      @ar7ist No, you need the Vodafone SIM, so therefore you need to remove your Kogan SIM then install the Vodafone SIM, then port in.

    Thanks grabbed one, I signed on with Catch (optus) late last year, has been fine in sydney, but extremely patchy in Brisbane/Ipswich, my telstra workphone had consistent coverage, will be interesting to see how Voda goes.

    • camr00 on 23/03/2022 - 12:11

      I work in the city and live Northside (Chermside) and have bounced between Telstra (was on them for a decade), Optus, Lebara (Voda), Optus, Voda (proper) in the since December last year.

      In my view:
      - Telstra has the best coverage and 4g speeds
      - Optus would drop calls everywhere on a regular basis, and data speeds in Westfield was non-existent (couldn't load an email type bad). Regional coverage was ok, but (for example) would drop out 2 or 3 times on the drive to Toowoomba or Sunny Coast, whereas Telstra would have (some) coverage in those areas (wife is on Telstra)
      - Vodafone/Lebara is the surprise for me. Speed, coverage and reliability on 4G and 5G has been great in the city, and yes, it does drop more often than even Optus when travelling, but its not noticeably worse (just a little bit - it would drop coverage maybe 30 seconds before Optus).

      I travel to Tasmania for work (though haven't lately) so have to be on Telstra for coverage purposes.

      As per comments above, YMMV on coverage/speeds pending your location, but in my experience Voda is better than Optus, with boost/Telstra at the top for speed, coverage and reliability.

  • timbo83 on 23/03/2022 - 11:12

    Using in Brisbane, coverage definitely patchy compared to Telstra. At home made sure enable calling via wifi as was unlucky to be in a blackspot (despite being in a very metro area).

    But won't complain for $125 for the year vs $500+ from Telstra on monthly plan

    I checked into offers last year and recall Voda pre-paid plans didn't support Numbersync ($5/m linked e-sim for smartwatch). After searching I can't find anything online to confirm. Anyone know if they now allow this add-on with prepaid sims?

    EDIT: I received a callback from their technical support and they confirmed NumberSync (smart watch add-on) is NOT available with pre-paid sims.
    They reconfirmed comments above that Vodafone prepaid has 5G, e-sim capable, VoLTE and Wifi Calling; none of which are with Kogan I'm currently with.

    Great post OP. Thanks! I'm on the way to buy one now

    • SimAus007 on 23/03/2022 - 15:22

      • TheLurker on 23/03/2022 - 17:04

        I am guessing that might be the case for some time, but as more MVNO's roll out e-sim activation this year I hope we'll see more smartwatch plans.

        Truphone is the only MVNO that offers smart watch plans if im correct. They can only provision separate phone numbers so its not that useful for $10 a month

    • bargaineer on 24/03/2022 - 08:16

      If you’re basing your experience off of just using Kogan via Vodafone then there are a number of reason it could be worse.

      Not having VoLTE on Kogan is a major one where call quality suffers and data speeds grind when you’re on a call.

      • Bigredkeg on 24/03/2022 - 14:58

    FYI Two Officeworks I went into have them for $125 but unlike the graphic in the post, or the one on the OW website, there is no mention on the product cards that there would be an extra 50 gb on top of the standard 150 gb after you activate them. I am not due to finish with Kogan for another few weeks so I won't find out whether I will get 150gb or 200gb til then. The product code of VOD 1004414 matches the code on their website so I guess if it doesn't get the extra 50 gb I will complain then.

    So I've been on this sim for 3 months from a previous deal and I can't make any phone calls, text messages or use any data any more. I received a text message today stating that I did not recharge my prepaid sim in 90 days and I'll lose my phone number and account if I don't recharge within the next 30 days.

    I called Vodafone and they said that I must recharge a minimum of $10 every 3 months to continue using the 12 months sim that I paid for??

    Anyone else had similar issue?
