    Can this be used to recharge an existing Vodafone 365 prepaid plan?

    • nicholasv on 15/08/2022 - 19:01

      Not entirely sure, but if you ported out and then back in then it'd be fine as I did that with Kogan mobile in the past to take advantage of their discounted plan for 'new' users. Usually there are offers for free sims (after cashback) from boost

      • Jackson on 16/08/2022 - 08:02

        I thought all starter packs could be used as recharge vouchers with Vodafone? Can't see anywhere this says new customers only

        • Bargain2020 on 16/08/2022 - 09:57

          Can anybody confirm that you can use a starter pack to recharge please?

          • AuQld on 18/08/2022 - 21:43

            @Bargain2020: Pretty sure they'll just transfer your number from one some to another. Otherwise they'll know you'll just port out and back in for a few bucks on another carrier.

    • HeWhoKnows on 16/08/2022 - 17:18

      Whilst its a good "Vodafone" deal its actually VERY POOR VALUE
      Kogan mobile uses the same Vodafone network
      However Kogan's Small 365 day plan includes 130GB and EVERY DAY price is only $120
      And dont forget Vodafone will charge you the full $250 upon recharge!
      Yikes!

      You can also get the Coles 120GB long expiry plan most weeks for $120 which includes Unlimited standard international calls and text to
      15 selected destinations

      Hence thumbs down from me, sorry

      • Xishnik on 16/08/2022 - 18:11

        Does Kogan have 5G, VOLTE and VOWIFI?

        • indianregulator on 20/08/2022 - 14:22

          Kogan has VOLTE, not sure for 5g or VOWIFI, my recharge was for 20gb a month and it was $115 for 365 days

        • srhardy on 20/08/2022 - 15:10

          'service provided is a Kogan Mobile SMALL – 365 DAYS Plan (previously 1XL – 365 Days Plan) giving access to Vodafone 3G & 4G coverage (but does not include VoLTE).' … from Kogan….

          • indianregulator on 22/08/2022 - 08:27

            @srhardy: That might not be updated, it says VOLTE on the top of my phone and when I make calls…

      • bwilso06 on 17/08/2022 - 11:51

        I cannot find this plan you speak of. When on the Kogan site, the Small 365 day plan is $99 for 80GB

        • Tiggrrrrr on 17/08/2022 - 12:14

          Pretty sure the plans were restructured.
          It's $150 for 120gb now. Which is why I just switched back to vanilla Vodafone today.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/08/2022 - 13:28

        Kogan sucks balls. All the people that say mvno ‘carriers’ use the same network as Telstra or Vodafone are wrong, I don’t care what anyone says. It’s not the same. Can it be good value for the average consumer, yes. Is it the same service quality, not a chance. This is one of those ‘You get what you pay for’ scenarios. Do Telstra and Vodafone overcharge, yes. But there is a reason why they get the lions share and any big company who is serious will stay away from anything but. Let the negs begin. Anyone who has done their research knows these are just the facts. Kogan still sucks balls. I ported to them for 30 days to get back on a Telstra JB deal and I had constant dropped calls or calls and messages that would just fail. Also, it takes a lot more than just piggybacking off a mainstream provider. How it is all setup matters massively. Some do it really well like Boost but they are still not the same thing.

      • TEER3X on 20/08/2022 - 15:20

        This deal can be had a lot cheaper if you have Woolies insurance (10% off) and a way to get 4% discounted gift cards

  • Bruceflix on 15/08/2022 - 19:03

    If you have Woolworth's insurance you can get 10% off too.

    • nicholasv on 15/08/2022 - 19:05

      • Bruceflix on 15/08/2022 - 19:11
        +1

        Yeah, I got 3 of them last time they offered this and got the 10% off.

        • nicholasv on 15/08/2022 - 19:12

          Damn good to know, thanks for the tip!

      • bargaino on 15/08/2022 - 19:34

        IIRC, no 10% off recharge vouchers, but starter SIM pack is not a voucher.

        • SimAus007 on 16/08/2022 - 10:06

          Yep, exactly, the starter SIM packs definitely get the 10% off, it's the way I always buy mine.

    • Tiggrrrrr on 16/08/2022 - 15:20

      Is this with the 10% off monthly shop?

    • HeWhoKnows on 16/08/2022 - 17:23

      Why not?

  • A female dog on 15/08/2022 - 19:09

    Would this be 5g compatible? Thinking of ditching current Telstra $65 plan and switching to this but have found 5g to be really good for my use case.

    • nicholasv on 15/08/2022 - 19:10
      +1

      Bit more info on Vodafone's website about the product and it says it is 5G compatible https://www.vodafone.com.au/prepaid/plans/250plus

      • A female dog on 15/08/2022 - 19:14

        Interesting, no 5g coverage where I am located (Syd metropolitan area lol). Was with Voda years ago, thought they'd up their game by now… Closest 5g coverage is only a street away. Shame.

    • Bruceflix on 15/08/2022 - 19:12
      +1

      can confirm it is 5g subject to coverage area.

      • BargainBenno on 15/08/2022 - 22:13

        I am in Adelaide and almost no coverage for 5g in the cbd.

    • mckayver on 16/08/2022 - 00:02

      Does anyone really need 5g anyway. I mean 4g download speeds is enough. If you're downloading at 5g speed over 1gbps you're going to run out of phone space pretty quickly.

      • Larsson on 16/08/2022 - 07:26

        It’s the latency I think that makes the difference here

      • SimAus007 on 16/08/2022 - 10:08

        I actually switched 5G off on my phone as it chews through the battery faster and I've not noticed any difference in speed for what I use my phone for, being WhatsApp, web browsing, Youtube, video calls.

  • Borg on 15/08/2022 - 19:11

    No Intl calls unfortunately. Will stick to Boost deals.

  • Ben Kenobi on 15/08/2022 - 19:15

      It is a prepaid sim for Vodafone, woolies is just selling the sim

        Yeah, my bad…thanks

  • 8millpond on 15/08/2022 - 19:24

    this or woolies mobile which you can get on 10% off each month

    • Sungrower on 15/08/2022 - 21:02

      Mrs and I both on the woolies plan and we mainly get groceries from woolies so the mobile is nearly free. Woolies doesn’t have the best reception coverage but it’s okay considering the price.

      • noongerz on 16/08/2022 - 04:01

        How bad is the reception? I just bought the woolies plan hoping that it would be decent as it uses part of the telstra network which has been great - I was on boost before

        • constipated on 16/08/2022 - 06:52
          +2

          If you are metropolitan or big town regional it is pretty much equivalent to Telstra. Some issues sometimes with 3G being refarmed can lead to missed calls despite good reception, but this should be settled September to December as VoLTE becomes available.

          • babyg on 16/08/2022 - 23:33

            @constipated: How do you know this? Does it affect data usage? I’ve just recently switched over to Woolies mobile and it is showing me full bars but I am not able to load a web page.

  • sajidmib on 15/08/2022 - 19:26

    In current times, boost is best for value it offers. Telstra coverage, international minutes etc. 5G and rest. No one can match that.

    • alteclan on 15/08/2022 - 19:30

      Minus international roaming. Was a pain during my travel back when

      • wavesgreen on 15/08/2022 - 20:34

        Yep looking for a new sim/plan to switch to for international travel coming up. Previously^ was with vodafone where $5/day gave me free use of all my normal data and calls.

        This one might do nicely to retain my number while overseas rather than buying a bunch of local sims.

        ^Am currently with catch.

        • Sensalord on 15/08/2022 - 21:11

          Was about to ask if this can be used overseas, think u have answered my question.

        • Cousin IT on 17/08/2022 - 21:00

          I'm pretty sure Local SIMS are always better value, than paying for roaming.

          Just need to make sure your bank and important MFA allow push notifications to get them over the Internet, instead of SMS.

          Also, to retain your number in Australia in the cheapest possible way, you either have the $1 Optus Plan (valid for 6 months) or the $5 Aldi prepaid SIM valid for 365 days.

          • wavesgreen on 17/08/2022 - 22:17

            @Cousin IT: Local sims definitely are better value but I have found Vodafone's $5 Roaming to be convenient in the past just to use my AU number and data.

            Not with vodafone any more and with not being able to use $5 Roaming for this prepaid deal, I'll just go back to local sims.

      • dyziplen on 15/08/2022 - 22:13

        Yeah, while vowifi is great, you literally need it to be over wifi. Having dual sim with data on the other sim wouldn't suffice, so you need to carry around two devices.

        • b3au on 16/08/2022 - 14:38

          This isn't true - all iPhones and some Samsung phones can use the other SIM for 'wifi calling' when there's no reception.

          Used it in Singapore last month as I didn't want to pay for roaming, but still wanted SMS and calls.

          • dyziplen on 17/08/2022 - 05:16

            @b3au: Doesn't work with my Samsung a52s then

    • evocable on 15/08/2022 - 19:53

      No esim on boost is a deal breaker for me

  • archieduh on 15/08/2022 - 19:28

    Does Apple watch plan work with this (with an extra fee)?

  • wavesgreen on 15/08/2022 - 20:43

    Can this deal be combined with Vodafone's per day overseas $5 Roaming or do I have to be on an actual plan plan for that?

  • charliechao on 15/08/2022 - 21:10

    How to make international calls with this one?

  • npnp on 15/08/2022 - 21:17

    Only reason why someone would pick this deal over Boost mobile pack for around same price would be limited availability of 5G. In all other aspects (better network, international calls & SMS) Booster is heaps better.

    • b3au on 15/08/2022 - 21:20
      +2

      No eSIM on Boost (yet)

    • dyziplen on 15/08/2022 - 22:11

      No roaming and no esim, and that's two reasons already

    • Bacha on 16/08/2022 - 07:17

      I barely get one or two bar at my home. Sometimes my data switch to H+. Definitely a very poor coverage at my place. On the other hand boost gave me average download speed of 150-200mbps. Going back to boost once my plan expires.

    • SimAus007 on 16/08/2022 - 10:15
      +1

      Depending on the user.
      I have great Vodafone coverage everywhere I travel, I have 5G switched off as it chews through the battery faster and for how I use my phone, I don't notice any difference.
      I am also travelling to Europe next month so I'll make use of the roaming and/or eSIM.
      For me, the cost savings (total cost $112.50 for 12 months after 10% off) and all the above make this a much better option.
      We all have different use cases.

  • Lengjaimarco on 15/08/2022 - 21:18

    Shopback offer 22.72% cashback if you buy directly from Vodafone here. It's currently discounted to $150. After roughly $34 cashback, would cost ~ $116.

    • wavesgreen on 16/08/2022 - 00:48

      Others' mileage may vary but vodafone took almost 9 months and multiple follow ups with shopback before paying out for a sim purchase I made last year. Only vendor I've ever had trouble with.

      • Jackson on 16/08/2022 - 08:03

        Also some people would rather save 25 bucks that have 34 in a cash back site. Good spot nonetheless

    • Bruceflix on 16/08/2022 - 09:15
      +1

      I bought one of them for my son last year. After a few weeks it hadn't arrived so I contacted Vodafone and they refunded it. A week later it arrived. Not only that but the shopback still tracked so not only free but profited on it with a working sim.

  • TubeLight on 16/08/2022 - 04:41

    Does anyone know of a prepaid sim that also has international roaming. I just need it for 2FA sms messages when travelling.

    • dyziplen on 16/08/2022 - 05:44
      +1

      Quite a lot have roaming, infact I think it's everyone that I checked with the exception of Boost. Lebara, Aldi, Amay, Voda. Just check your specific destination.

      • TubeLight on 16/08/2022 - 12:30

        I’m currently with boost which works well for me except for the international roaming part. The other I had in mind was Voda. But that is ruled out too. Looks like Optus’ network might be my only chance.

        Thanks mate.

    • alteclan on 16/08/2022 - 09:27

              @Quarter Pounder: The 'Monthly' plans are still contracts though, you're just not paying upfront - you can't just use Kogan for a month or two while overseas like @TubeLight might want - you're locked in with Kogan for 12 months.

              From the CIS

              You will need to pay an Early Exit Fee if you cancel your plan before end of the 12 Month Commitment Period.

              • TubeLight on 16/08/2022 - 14:08

                @b3au: Maybe I should rephrase my question. I don’t want Int’l roaming perse. I just want the sim to connect to the local netwrok to receive incoming texts. No outgoing text, calls or internet needed.

                With that in mind, is there a prepaid that works on a payg basis?

              • Quarter Pounder on 16/08/2022 - 15:59

                @b3au:

                The 'Monthly' plans are still contracts though, you're just not paying upfront - you can't just use Kogan for a month or two while overseas like @TubeLight might want - you're locked in with Kogan for 12 months.

                From memory you can get a $20PM for 10gb thru the $2.90 starter pack on the second month. That is not locked in rather just a bad deal.

                • b3au on 16/08/2022 - 16:05

                  @Quarter Pounder: Ah yes I see what you mean - no longer advertised (only 12 month plans), but it is the default after the $2.90 starter SIM expires.

                  You're right - not locked in but not great value at $20/10GB

                  I think Kogan have lost the plot moving to the 'contract' setup

              • Cousin IT on 17/08/2022 - 21:53

                @b3au: Not all of them, you can either get their $2.90 30 day Starter Pack or if you've got access to Unidays you can also get the $1 30GB 30 day Plan.

  • xdivino on 16/08/2022 - 15:01

    Seeking clarification on this SIM.

    Can I purchase this SIM and use year long etc. However I planning trip to Germany in OCT for whole month. Can I use the $5 day roaming and it not impact my AU usage remaining i.e GB's and calls etc.

    Also is the $5 per day done on upfront basis or if it detects usage that day as will likely only turn on every other day for the month i am there.

  • meysha on 16/08/2022 - 17:30

    Can I buy the $2 starter sim and charge it with this deal? Or do I have to go to a store that has the exact same design as the one as this in stock? I went into a Metro store and they only had the "$2 Starter Pack" ones.

    • Borg on 16/08/2022 - 17:32
