    Data offer valid for new customers only who activate by 28 Nov 2022 (you lose 10GB if activate after)

    • johnn on 25/10/2022 - 14:03

      They've extended the date for extra data every single time this year. Previous "activate by" dates were 26th Sept, 4th July, 28th March, 31st Jan.

      There was a rep on here that said it was "extremely likely" they would keep extending in the foreseeable future. While not a guarantee, I would be mighty surprised if they actually did end it this time. In fact, the $200 SIM used to only give 100GB in 2021, so there's a chance they might even increase the offer in 2023.

  • tommynolips on 25/10/2022 - 12:54

    i'm with BOOST and recharge every month for $30 - can i flip across to this for 12 months and stop paying monthly?

    edit: i think lufee answered my question

    • toommy on 25/10/2022 - 12:59
      +3

      Actually it is possible. Chat to Boost support and they will activate and transfer your number to the sim new. It worked for me multiple times.

      • tommynolips on 25/10/2022 - 13:03

        thanks, ordered :)

      • NeverMissABargain on 25/10/2022 - 13:05

        Is this new sim kit similar to what has been sold at ebay for $150 - 160 range?

          +1

          Yes. I bought from Boost once and it was the same as on ebay.

    Hoping Boost do eSim soon!

    • whjheu on 25/10/2022 - 17:21

      Me,too! I had to use Telstra's plan for less data just because of esim issue.

      • hopper on 25/10/2022 - 17:30

        Telstra just seen your comment and decided to hold the esim feature to boost

    • Associatedboostmobileau @ Boost Mobile on 27/10/2022 - 16:07

      We are working really hard to offer it as soon as possible for both existing customers and new customers! :)

    one feature that MOST people dont know, not sure still exist with boost?

    you can make or receive call, send or receive sms when you OVERSEAS without any extra fees. aslong you are connected to a WIFI

    • toommy on 25/10/2022 - 13:14
      +2

      Some said that they do not support that feature anymore but I went overseas few months ago and I did received sms via wifi for banking, etc…

      • cloudie9 on 25/10/2022 - 13:28

        I thought SMS is via roaming network? I don't know if wifi got to do with this.

        • CyberMurning on 25/10/2022 - 13:37

          yeah so weird why they are not advertising this in big big bold letters, im sure everyone will jump ship

        i was overseas july-october and was able to receive sms/calls when on wifi

      • eraser215 on 25/10/2022 - 13:38

        Officially not supported right now but works for some. It didn't work for me on wifi either, but having said that my location had TERRIBLE wifi.

    • deek on 25/10/2022 - 13:27
      +5

      Yep, feature is called "Wifi Calling". Boost definitely works with this, as well as Telstra and Optus. You have to have a mobile phone that supports it, but any modern phone released in the last 3 years should support it.

      It's something that helps me, as I live in a poor mobile reception area, but obviously no problems with wifi reception.

      • bkllo00 on 25/10/2022 - 13:45

        is this feature something you need to activate on the phone or via the provider?

          +1

          Nope i wasnt expecting my sim to be active but i had great conversation in Bangkok and delhi…just need to have wifi calling activated on your phone. Just 1 soft touch.

          • Daabido on 25/10/2022 - 14:44

            @Ekoz: What happens if you heavy touch it?

          • CyberMurning on 30/10/2022 - 12:41

            @Ekoz: So not every phone can? Let me check setting on my samsung note 10

            Edit yeah its there.

      • x x on 25/10/2022 - 14:17

        so you can receive verification SMS's too?

    • Ekoz on 25/10/2022 - 13:55

      VoWifi is supported by Boost.
      Boost also confirmed VoWifi is available while overseas.

      • onlinewarrior40 on 25/10/2022 - 15:40
        +2

        VoWifi is good to keep in mind for future.

        I spoke to support yesterday and they assured me that not only is international roaming not supported, but that there was absolutely no way for me to use my number whilst overseas… so i just set up call forwarding to a local sim instead which works and is free (edit - confirmed that the test call shows in the Usage History as a $0.00 call), as the country I'm forwarding to (Vietnam) is in the list of countries with boost provides unlimited calls to 😀

    • sween64 on 25/10/2022 - 20:18

      I was in NZ in September and calls worked on WifiCalling. SMS receipt worked while roaming.

    • MrTweek on 25/10/2022 - 20:33

      I'm currently overseas, so I just tried this. Doesn't work for me

    • alterego13 on 26/10/2022 - 13:01

      Yup, I did this on a recent 3 month overseas trip! Worked brilliantly!
      Actually you don't even need WiFi if you have a second (local) sim in the country you're visiting and that sim has data. If course your phone needs to be capable as well.

  • ozvictor on 25/10/2022 - 13:27

      • cloudie9 on 25/10/2022 - 13:32
        +1

        Ditto, Telstra network superior > Optus, imho.

    • hotphil on 25/10/2022 - 20:40

      Optus might be shit to deal with when things to go wrong. But it's a positive walk in the park compared to dealing with boost/Telstra.

    • Octopusgarden on 25/10/2022 - 21:18

      Boost uses the full Telstra network unlike other providers that still use the Telstra network but don't have full access.

    • neonlight on 29/10/2022 - 09:12

      The better question is woolworths mobile or this. As you can get 10% off on groceries and uses wholesale Telstra just no Vowifi

  • m0usju1c3 on 25/10/2022 - 13:37

    Could I use this in a 4G modem connected to PC for data only? I just want to have a remote connection to it from another PC.

  • CyberMurning on 25/10/2022 - 13:39

    • Pistoll on 25/10/2022 - 16:34

      Remember boost is the full Telstra network, belong is not. There's a Telstra tower here at a remote site I go to, zero belong coverage but full boost/Telstra coverage.

    Hey guys another poster previously pointed out you can get officeworks to price beat 10% so even cheaper if you have a store local and dont have to wait for shipping

    • HLTT on 25/10/2022 - 15:01

      I would like to know too, but I guess port out and port back is the solution?

    • sween64 on 25/10/2022 - 20:28

      Apparently a CSR will let you migrate to a starter kit from your existing offer/number

      • neonlight on 26/10/2022 - 08:14

        Never heard of that you need to port to another service provider then switch back…

  • Master Haggler on 25/10/2022 - 14:59

    You can get Woolworths long expiry sim for $180 with 180GB. Also on Telstra network.
    Maybe a better deal if you don’t need international calls?

    • LolwutMikka on 25/10/2022 - 15:10

      Telstra wholesale or full access?

      • CyberMurning on 25/10/2022 - 15:13

        the question should be full or part access to telstra network ?

      • wellzi on 25/10/2022 - 15:15
        +1

        Boost is the only MVNO with full access to the Telstra 4G network. This principle does not apply to 5G (in the event Woolies / Boost are still offering a 5G trial). 5G is the full network but speed capped for MVNOs.

    • JuryWheel on 25/10/2022 - 17:07

      Woolies have esim too and younger discounted shopping. It would be handy if you could actually see what the difference between wholesale and full access to their 4g network really meant.

      • sween64 on 25/10/2022 - 20:29

        Have you checked the coverage maps?

    • Octopusgarden on 25/10/2022 - 21:22

      I'm currently on Woolworths mobile. It has been super crappy lately. I live in the hills district NSW. I can be next to a tower and it still sucks.

  • raj uk on 25/10/2022 - 15:23

    I used to have Boost then switched to Amaysim, but will probably switch back again.

    The positives with Amaysim

    • eSim
    • International roaming so you can receive SMS only if required and not get any charges
    • Call forwarding, when travelling I used to forward to a Skype Aus number so you only got stung with 20c per minute to receive calls

    Negatives

    • Phone and data is inferior to Boost
  • MR-AM on 25/10/2022 - 15:33

    Surely you end up making money by sim hopping to these guys every 2-3 months with CR always giving $1-2 profit.

  • scaryspace on 25/10/2022 - 15:37

    Does anyone know if you can add this on to a current boost Sim (also on the exact same plan) to extend it?

    • Utsav23 on 25/10/2022 - 15:40

    Woolies mobile.

    Telstra network, 180Gb for $180/100Gb for $140, and 10% off shopping once every month.

    With the monthly shopping discount you'll get the money you paid for the plan back well before the 12 months expiry.
    We'll do a big family shop there for $4-500 and get say $50 back every month…. you're well ahead in a years time.

    • kati on 02/11/2022 - 11:05

      I agree with you, my woolworths mobile plan is basically free due to the 10% off shopping once per month.

  • chidoridesu on 27/10/2022 - 11:07

    Sorry I may be stupid but how does this work ?
