      I have only used 70% of my 150 GB plan this year. I think I'll settle with 200 GB instead. Although I wish for it to be a little cheaper though….

  • shibu-thomas on 29/12/2022 - 18:18

    No International Call :(

    • hollykryten on 29/12/2022 - 18:20

      International calls are a paid Add Ons pack per month. It's priced at $5 to $15 per month depending on pack. But if you're only calling say the USA, Canada or the UK then you could get away easily with the $5 pack.

      You don't use WhatsApp, Skype or one of the several other options?
      I always call OS using WhatsApp and find it perfect, great for either voice or video.

  • vinhtheman07 on 29/12/2022 - 18:22

    This or Boost Mobile?

    • hollykryten on 29/12/2022 - 18:23

      I don't think BOOST will give you the same 500GB per year internet for the same price. Heck they want $300 for 260GB of data on their 12 month mobile phone plan.

    • eli8te on 29/12/2022 - 19:08

      Kogan better value in terms of data provided, but Boost Service is miles better as it is the only provider that provides full untethered access to Telstra network, I believe Kogan is Vodafone.

          Telstra coverage is not good where I am at. Strangely, Kogan/Vodafone is much better in My Area.

          • SimAus007 on 30/12/2022 - 08:56

            @squall3031: For my home area, I get better coverage with Vodafone also, which is where I use my phone 99% of the time.
            It will be different for everyone of course.

              @SimAus007: Yep depends on where the tower is. I have a Vodafone tower down the street. So telstra is poor for me, Kogan is very good for reception.

      I'm with Kogan and wife with Boost 500gb vs 200gb. Boost reception is great and adds international calls. Kogan has wifi calling now. I don't have any reception issues in Melbourne Metro. I say I won't renew again, yet I do purely for data size.

    • bob smith on 29/12/2022 - 20:52

      I've gone from Kogan to boost. Didn't notice any difference.
      5G isnt good. Unless you hang near a 5g tower.
      Will be going back to Kogan. Cheaper and more data.

      To to correct a couple of your points.
      - No prepaid has number sharing (yet).
      - It does have eSIM.
      - It does have 5G
      - International calling can be added for a small fee, given the price, that's fair, or use WhatsApp and pay nothing.

  • Lurking Luke on 29/12/2022 - 18:30

    Nice, purchased yesterday as my XL 365 expires Jan 5th.

    Bought a $30 boost for $10 as I couldn't holdout any longer.

        For anyone wondering, the article says that it is limited to "mobile data speeds of up to 16Mbps", which is not true. I've happily pulled 200+Mbps on 4G when close to a tower, whilst I was still on Kogan mobile.

        • hollykryten on 29/12/2022 - 20:33
          +4

          The web page was probably written years ago back when it was speed capped and it hadn't been updated.

          I'm quite sure unless i'm wrong that Kogan Mobile currently gets full access to the Vodafone 4G mobile network.

        • SimAus007 on 30/12/2022 - 09:05

          Agree, I often get 200.to 300Mbps.on 4G with them.

      I pulled 300Mbs on Kogan 4G in the NT last few year. Had to change to Boost because the reception wasn't good in remote community where I travelled alot. Even with 5G, I can only get 300Mbs on my lucky day.

    • Marrk on 30/12/2022 - 06:28

      Not true, you are talking about reception in your area. I recently changed over to Boost Mobile and can’t get any data speed at the local major shopping centre - need to use the wife’s Kogan Mobile service. Every carrier has areas where they are complete crap, you need to choose what works best for you.

      Is this the $15 cashback when you spend $100 or more at kogan.com offer? I have it but i don't think it qualifies for the offer. it says cashback not eligible for any kogan essentials products and services including but not limited to kogan mobile…

        • hollykryten on 30/12/2022 - 17:40

          The cashback probably excludes the use of gift card redemption through Kogan. You'll have to use the debit or credit card as payment. It's probably how they track the payment to your Commbank account. With a gift card they can't track the payment.

          I know for the Bonus Points scheme they exclude the use of Kogan gift cards. So it's probably the same for this cashback. It just doesn't look like Commonwealth Bank likes it.

            • hollykryten on 30/12/2022 - 18:15

              @hnxhyz: That may or may not work. At least for the Bonus Points scheme that purchasing gift cards or buying some thing from a gift card through kogan.com is excluded. You don't get any reward.

              From this web page which i posted just above.

              "Purchases of or redemption of Gift Cards are not eligible for Bonus Points. Purchases made redeeming a gift card and credit together are not eligible for Bonus Points."

              https://eshop.commbankawards.com.au/electricals/kogan-com

              Wonder if it might or might not be the same for the cash back offer.

                  @hnxhyz: It says all Kogan Essentials are excluded and just gave a few examples.

                  But, Kogan Gift Cards is listed under the Kogan Essentials section on the Kogan web site. It's one of the Kogan Essentials products. And it does say any Kogan Essentials product or services is excluded.

                  It's the last one of the Kogan Essentials page (Kogan Gift Cards). So there you go Kogan e-Gift Cards are obviously excluded since it's part of Kogan Essentials. Technically it's excluded from the cashback being a Kogan Essentials product. I was right.

                  https://www.kogan.com/au/kogan-essentials/

                  I don't like your chances of getting a cashback since it's a Kogan Essentials product. I rest my case.

    I know it’s pre paid but just want to avoid having to churn to another provider if I can just stick with kogan coz of the huge data and if I like voda then I just stick with kogan mobile

    Question on anyone who have used eSIM before.
    Currently I have a Pixel 7 and my plan expires sometime in January. I purchased this and chose eSIM.
    The email I received is showing a new number if I choose to have a new number, however I would like to transfer my current number to the eSIM. I know activating on Kogan website from SIM to another SIM is available for keeping your current number, but they don't make it clear if its possible going from SIM to eSIM and keeping your number.

    I just want to know if anyone has done this and kept their number while going to eSIM?

    Thanks for any replies.

    • ledgisv2 on 30/12/2022 - 01:24

      Yes you can switch your number to esim. Switched from telstra to kogan.

      • KvotheMMA on 30/12/2022 - 15:06

        Thank (profanity), like a true OzBargainer I ended up buying it because I just assumed this would be the case. Can’t believe it’s not cleared up on their website.

        How did you go about doing this? I plan on activating near the end of the January when my current data expires.

        • ledgisv2 on 30/12/2022 - 15:07

          They will send you the bar code on your email. You can just add the esim thru the barcode.

        • Mythreesons on 02/01/2023 - 11:10

          When you set up the esim it asks if you want to port your number, you tick a box and put in your current number, pick if it’s a prepaid (ours weee prepaid) or post paid number and than a few minutes later it’s all set up. It’s been one of the easiest phone set ups I have done.

    For those playing at home, get an extra 7% off with the Ultimate eGift card promo from this deal brings it to $153.45 or ~$12.80 per month.

    If extra keen and have access, get yourself a $1 30GB Student plan from the UNiDAYS deal, apparently there is a trick to getting the link to work.

    You can potentially get 13 months with 542GB (they actually give you 512GB for the XL plan + 30GB for 1st month) for $154.45 or ~$11.90 a month.

Having activated a few SIMS here and there over the years with them, never had a problem until the last couple of months. Couldn't be bothered with contacting their CS, however if someone else does would be interested to know whats going on with this issue.

          i just encountered this problem w/ entering incorrect details which the system accepted - msg appeared saying you can't change personal details and to ring customer service. I rang cust service on 1300 056 426 and waited for abt 10mins. service rep answered and reset the activation. I waited a few mins then redid the activation and it worked fine after.

      Interested to know about this as well. Have you contacted Kogan Mobile support team?

    I live in a small apartment with my wife. Thoughts on using something like this to replace NBN service? I find NBN is good, but it's expensive and maybe not worth it for what we do…

      It could work. Depends on how good Vodafone reception is in your apartment, how much data you use (some folks go through more than 500GB a month), and whether latency is important to you (for games etc)

      Not sure if this was your question but I’ve been using various 4G services for broadband since 2017. It’s an inexpensive alternative to NBN that frequently delivers significantly better speeds than NBN plans.

      All this obviously depends on your reception but if you find you get reasonable reception on Vodafone where you are I’d say there’s not much reason to hesitate.

    So I can select eSim and hold off activating until closer to 30th January?

      Yes vouchers purchased expire 31/1/2023, so activate on or before that day.

  • Ted0525 on 30/12/2022 - 11:39

    So we need to activate by 31st Jan 2023?

    Does Kogan offer 5g ?

    • krisspy on 30/12/2022 - 19:50

      Yes for the time being, it's on trial until June 2023 on the large plans.

    What is a e sim and how does it work. I purchased a yearly prepaid plan with Optus ($150), have had nothing but trouble, two weeks later and have a phone that has only just been able to receive calls but has not credit on it (Optus have been no help and keep hanging up or transferring me, once for 5 hours). If I buy this deal with an e sim will I be able to use it straight away.

      It depends on your phone as to whether or no you can use it.

      iPhones for eg from (I think) the Xs on can use esims. You’ll get a QR code which enables you to activate that plan on your phone without needing a physical sim.
