    Currently on Boost.. if I port out and port back in, any issues with Cashback?

    • mandelbrot on 20/12/2022 - 14:27

      Cashback is on the purchase, not on the porting

    • StackableSnacks on 20/12/2022 - 15:54

      My partner is a Boost customer on an old prepaid setup. I spoke with chat and you don't need to port out, they just update your number to the new prepaid. I would confirm it with chat before doing it for your records incase they come back and say no, but it worked fine for us.

      Edit: they kept the same number.

      In the city sure - sometimes you will have a better signal with any carrier depending on the tower location or what buildings are in the way. Out in remote areas often I find Telstra is the only option.

      can confirm, had a complete blackout on boost in a restaurant, whilst Vodafone was fine.

      • MikeHunt69 on 20/12/2022 - 17:36

        I've had the same experience in Adelaide. My kogan/voda prepaid used to get coverage indoors at work and now its a blackspot. Finding outdoor is constant 5G but indoor if definitely worse for me with boost.

        • Pootie Tang on 22/12/2022 - 15:59

          Where abouts MikeHunt?

          • MikeHunt69 on 26/12/2022 - 15:44

            @Pootie Tang: Aged care setting Croydon. Could be things interfering with the signal from the building itself as I've not had issues anywhere else. But again a colleague with Optus gets 2 bars. My boost sim in his phone…no bars. They being said I've just driven from Adelaide to Sydney then down the midnorth coast of NSW and have had coverage pretty much the whole way so it's been pretty solid overall.

  • G-rig on 20/12/2022 - 14:42

    These are great, on my second one.
    Mine expires end of Jan so can probably start keeping an eye out. The 140 is generally enough with wifi at home and work, still got 93GB/140GB.

      the 300 one comes with more overseas calling minutes … which is useful for me!

      No, but you can port out and port in.

    • G-rig on 20/12/2022 - 14:53

      Unofficially you don't have to port out, just have to find someone nice on the boost chat.. many people have done it. Just don't leave it till the last minute.

      • Paccers on 20/12/2022 - 14:56

        Can confirm last year I bought another 12m pre-paid, spoke to chat and had them activate the new one and transfer my number over to it. Had to swap the SIMs over but that was it

        • cheaponos on 20/12/2022 - 15:09

          I did this as well.

      • Plentiful3271 on 20/12/2022 - 15:33

        Would this mess with the cashback tracking?

        • G-rig on 20/12/2022 - 15:39

          How would it? It's just for the purchase I would have thought, whether activated or not (but see the OP)

          Seems like the only deals on these are cashback now, I got my previous two price beat at officeworks when they were cheaper to Start with.

          • inick on 20/12/2022 - 16:26

            @G-rig: The special terms for the offer are "must be activated within 30 days of ordering", so not just for the purchase

            • G-rig on 20/12/2022 - 17:35

              @inick: That's for the Sim, nothing to do with cashback on not.

      • StackableSnacks on 20/12/2022 - 15:55

        I can confirm this worked for us

  • try2bhelpful on 20/12/2022 - 14:53

    Gave up on Boost. They couldn’t get us connected across from Coles Mobile after three weeks. They never rang us back to give us an update; we had to keep chasing them. Eventually we ran out of time to migrate across so we just renewed our Coles Mobile for another 12 months; they were offering us a 20% discount. We cancelled the Boost SIM and got our money back. It was a debacle. I understand things can go wrong but three weeks, particularly where we had to, continually, chase them, is just ludicrous. The help desk people were, particularly, useless.

    • Tuba on 20/12/2022 - 15:37

      maybe Coles was the roadblock?

      • StackableSnacks on 20/12/2022 - 15:56

        That's rough. I was with Optus. I ported over in seconds. Sorry to hear it.

      • try2bhelpful on 20/12/2022 - 16:27

        I have no idea because Boost wouldn’t tell us what was going on. I can understand there might be issues but I expect to be kept informed and provided a solution. We kept getting told Boost was escalating this and they would contact us in 24 to 48 hours. They, never, rang us back. We had to keep ringing them. I think they should be able to sort this out within three weeks. I can deal with issues it is being kept in the dark and fobbed off I object to.

      • G-rig on 21/12/2022 - 05:48

        Yeah I'd pick Boost/Telstra any day over Coles/Optus lol. Boost being 5g is a bonus too.

        • try2bhelpful on 21/12/2022 - 07:57

          Well, we tried to.

          • G-rig on 21/12/2022 - 07:58

            @try2bhelpful: Sounds a bit unlucky mate. Good experience staying with these boost 365 day sims so far, haven't tried a lot of the others to be honest. Hopefully you'll get it sorted and not worry about it again for a year.

            Ps. was easier getting the deals before these cashback ones, where the sims were on special then pricebeat at officeworks.

            • try2bhelpful on 21/12/2022 - 08:15

              @G-rig: Who knows, if we are feeling masochistic we might have a shot next year with Boost :).

              It was more the poor response of the help desk that got me. It is when things go wrong that you, really, get the sense of a company. I was a PM, for a while, and when things go wrong you give people a recovery plan and make sure they are kept across what is happening. You don’t pfaff them around until it is too late to recover.

              I’m sure most transfers are smooth sailing, it is just they weren’t great when we hit issues.

              • G-rig on 21/12/2022 - 08:19

                @try2bhelpful: yeah no good and enough to steer you away i suppose. Have personally found the online chat pretty quick and responsive.

        • belongsinforums on 21/12/2022 - 00:35

          Which happens with probably every company. The difference is companies that quickly find solutions vs those that leave customers in the dirt

          • try2bhelpful on 21/12/2022 - 07:56

            @belongsinforums: Absolutely. Auspost delivered the SIM to the wrong house but we get a notification message when parcels are delivered, so we knew it had gone astray quickly. We spoke to this fantastic Aussie bloke who said they’d stuffed it and it was delivered to us within two hours. My lasting impression of Auspost is not so much they pooched the delivery but that they took it seriously and recovered quickly.

  • dazmar on 20/12/2022 - 15:23

    Hi guys currently on telstra post paid but out of contract could I port straight to this deal or would it be wiser to port to another carrier first?

    • Cucumber123 on 20/12/2022 - 16:28

      You don’t have to port out first, but when you activate the boost sim online, it will get you to speak to someone on the live chat to do it.

  • skd22 on 20/12/2022 - 15:28

    Im already with boost, which i assue is same as being with Telstra..

  • itchy scratchy on 20/12/2022 - 15:33
