      Look - the value is good, but that's the only good thing about it lol

      I was with catch connect before and couldn't wait for my year to end so I could jump back to Boost. The performance and dropouts were abysmal.

      • AndrewMTG on 10/11/2022 - 12:24

        Yeah I think I'ma hold off because it's Optus, I don't mind Vodafone or tesltra but using boost occasionally and the 5g is pretty epic

  • DarkOz on 10/11/2022 - 09:44

    Pretty good deal. Literally a Boost 240GB $300 sim which we could get for $220-$240 for $100 or the Boost $200 sim for $120 with more data.

    • HomebrewFC on 10/11/2022 - 09:47

      Boost is Telstra 5G network, this is Optus 4G. So not like-for-like.

        • HomebrewFC on 10/11/2022 - 09:49

          Please elaborate…Network coverage and speed are huge factors when considering phone plans…

            @HomebrewFC: I manage 4 sims for my family and switching between Boost, Amaysim and Catch depending on the deals. It doesn't make a difference for us if it's Telstra or Optus network. I just make sure that I stay well away from Voda.

        • Tleyx on 10/11/2022 - 09:50

          Optus is losing customers so quickly the network should be faster soon

            @Tleyx: Been comparing their retail stores and yeah, you have flocks of people in Telstra, some in Vodafone but only a couple of customers in Optus stores even on weekends. Going to be very tough for them to recover at this point.

          It makes a world of difference if you ever leave cities.

      • CodeXD on 10/11/2022 - 09:50

        I'm currently on boost but purely because it was the cheapest option at the time with volte/vowifi (wifi calling). I didn't care for telstra or the 5g (which only started recently)

        Now that a bunch of mvno have them too, it really opens up the options I have. I was considering Coles mobile but this deal is really good too.

        I find that telstra network is terrible in Canberra City, most of the time things take longer to load, especially in buildings. Optus works fine in the same location tho.

      • Flintz on 10/11/2022 - 10:51

        isn't Boost 5G trial ending this month?

        • CodeXD on 10/11/2022 - 10:54

          the trial is ending, but there are speculations it will continue as part of the normal service.

            • CodeXD on 10/11/2022 - 15:44

              @Tleyx: You still get full telstra 4g service, and maybe 5g.

      • zemphism on 10/11/2022 - 11:01

        I’m with Telstra and 7kms from the city and still have only 2 bars, my wife’s with catch and she has full bars. So in my experience yes, it’s not like-for-like, the catch is actually a better service where I am in Brisbane

      • MaxSmaX on 11/11/2022 - 18:41

    I grabbed the $150 200GB/365 deal back in October and have been happy with the data/call service. Catch use Optus 4G. Im based in Melbourne, VIC.

      Were providers that lease the Optus network also affected by the data breach? It was my understanding that it was only Optus customers that were affected

        No just retail optus

    Could i use catch vouchers bought on shopback for another 6 percent off?

  • Bohlin on 10/11/2022 - 09:57

    This or the Kogan $90 365 deal? I hate the fact that Kogan has no app - I'm assuming Optus has better coverage than Vodafone?

    • CodeXD on 10/11/2022 - 09:59
      +1

      Kogan $90 deal is only 120gb data, depends on how much you use

    • ilikeblue on 10/11/2022 - 10:00

      There's a Kogan mobile app though ?

      • Bohlin on 10/11/2022 - 10:01
        -2

        AFAIK it's just a link to the web page - I'd like to have more visibility over how much data I've used

        • ilikeblue on 10/11/2022 - 10:16
          +3

          Pretty sure it shows your data usage and balance on the app as well from when I last used it.

          • Bohlin on 10/11/2022 - 10:21

            @ilikeblue: yeah it crashes for me and I'm not able to use it - other user reviews seem to report it's just a view of their web page which is what I'm forced to use as a result. I know it's silly, but I'd just like to see how much data I've used instead of a broad percentage figure

            • ilikeblue on 10/11/2022 - 11:19

              @Bohlin: Fair enough. I've never come close to finishing my data before so that has never been a priority for me

        • staz on 11/11/2022 - 07:43

          It's not. The app works well and first thing that opens with the app is your data usage and days remaining on the plan.

    • tonsta on 10/11/2022 - 11:00

      Why would you need an app? Once it’s activated correctly we never check again.

      • MrFrugalSpend on 10/11/2022 - 22:04

        exactly - who cares - more bloatware for the phone and kogan tracking you or something - I wouldn't install it even if i had Kogan

    • Dodgy Bob on 10/11/2022 - 18:29

      Where is the $90 kogan deal?

      Yes, but no data breach.

  • fozzie on 10/11/2022 - 10:30

    Fabolous deal! If you use the $50 it makes it $100. Btw can you pay with gift cards?

  • Bacha on 10/11/2022 - 10:36

    Good deal but i bought boost couple of days ago. Optus reception is very bad in my area anyway.

  • tajid on 10/11/2022 - 10:39

    What can you use the $50 credit for?

  • brokeneither on 10/11/2022 - 10:46

    Incredibly lame that the double data is for new services only. I should have ported out and back in.

    I just recontracted with catch and only get the 120 GB (not that I'll use it).

    At least I got 25% off though for recontracting. So only paid $112.5

  • Modesty on 10/11/2022 - 10:49

    Does it stack with cashrewards?

  • theebargainer on 10/11/2022 - 10:58

    be careful when trying to port out from catch. i've been trying to port out from catch since 2 months ago. got tio involved and nothing's been solved till now

    • fozzie on 13/11/2022 - 10:16

      That’s bizzare, I have always ported out no problems at all. I have one kid currently on catch, will port out in a month and then report back in with one of the $30 a year bargain from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/600485

  • 4kbargain on 10/11/2022 - 11:24

    Bummer cannot use the Student Beans discount on top.

    • fozzie on 13/11/2022 - 10:17

      Yes, unfortunately they closed that. In the past I have used 10% off and gift cards when there used to be some discounted ones around.

  • UncleIroh on 10/11/2022 - 12:34

    I'm in Melbourne and was on Catch previously but still had four months left on my Catch plan, and decided to swap to Boost early just because it was annoying. Consistently has no connection in the city right next to MC. Random pockets in inner city areas also have no connection e.g. Fitzroy, Collingwood, and on the Eastern Freeway. Super frustrating, you get what you pay for. Go for the Boost plans if it's still available (what I just swapped to)

    • Geoff01 on 11/11/2022 - 09:20

      If you read above people on Telstra report the same. Optus is the second biggest provider so not like it's bargain basement.

    • CodeXD on 11/11/2022 - 09:26

      What phone are you using it with? Do you get reception with boost in all those areas with the same phone?

      Some phones, especially Chinese brand like xiaomi have limited 4g bands, so if optus runs it in that area, you'll pretty much have limited network reception.

      • UncleIroh on 11/11/2022 - 10:42

        Pixel 3XL and yep reception works for Boost in those areas

  • micemeat on 10/11/2022 - 15:16

    If I'm a current customer can I port out and back in to get this deal?

      yes

        How long do you have to port out before you’re considered a new customer?

        • bohn on 10/11/2022 - 19:04

          I've ported out to Aldi and straight back previously.

  • FusedMeme1 on 10/11/2022 - 17:39

    New Catch customers or new catch connect customers? Anyone knows? Thanks!

    • fozzie on 13/11/2022 - 10:20

      I think it’s new catch connect so as long as it’s a new mobile number or porting from a different provider. It says “new services only”.

  • Hamish125 on 25/12/2022 - 07:41

      I spoke with Catch about this and they told me it would be credited by the 13th. So hopefully it's in by tomorrow!

        I got it today but it seems like a generic code? very odd. It came to my email.
