    Sim slutting Belong and boost is still a better deal..and needless to say.. Network.

    Edit: though granted, bit more stuffing around and preparation involved.

    • hollykryten on 06/02/2023 - 11:06

      One advantage there is over that is that Kogan Mobile supports eSIM whereas Belong and BOOST does not.

      • Bullion78 on 06/02/2023 - 11:07

        Fair call.

      • vchar on 06/02/2023 - 13:36

        @hollykryten, was wondering if Kogan eSim supports Apple Watch Ultra?

        • hollykryten on 07/02/2023 - 18:48

          I don't know as i don't own any Apple gear apart from an Apple TV 4K.

        • 0jay on 08/02/2023 - 14:39

          Apple Watch (any gen) requires number sharing.

          I think number sharing’s a feature of postpaid services only.

      • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2023 - 18:02

        When I see someone say this it makes it sound like eSIM capable phones no longer have a physical SIM slot… is that correct? (If they do still have a SIM slot why does it matter? Isn't it like a non-smoker saying they refuse to drive a particular car because it doesn't have a cigarette lighter!?)

        • Robc on 09/02/2023 - 03:11

          I don't know if it's still applicable, but most phones bought from a Oz provider only had a single sim slot, even if the same phone supports 2 overseas. If you ever travel, or sell stuff on gumtree, 2 slots is great. Keep your main active, and the second for either a local sim (always cheaper than roaming, unless it's on the companies dime) or for a disposable sim for gumtree, so you don't get messages in a month at three Am, cos someone's phone got hacked and your number sold to telemarketing.

          I use mine a lot for sim slutting. Aldi mobile main number for telstra coverage and 15 bucks a year to keep one number active for bank and purchase texts, and whatever cheap for a load of data…

          Esims make it easier/possible. Bring em on!

    Kogan served me well for years but had to change to Lebara for the included international calls. It's a pity Kogan don't include these.

    • hollykryten on 06/02/2023 - 11:08

      You didn't do your research right before switching providers. As an extra $5 per month gets you international calls (to 10 countries) on Kogan Mobile. It's called the International Calls Pack. And there's also the $10 or $15 packs for more countries. So yes Kogan Mobile can have international calls if you pay for it through one of the international calls pack addon.

      https://www.koganmobile.com.au/plans/mobile/international-ca…

      So those who want international calls that's the way to get it through Kogan Mobile. It's not included for free on the base mobile plans.

      • Ghos7 on 06/02/2023 - 11:44
        +9

        How would you know what research I did before switching providers?

        "An extra $5" makes it clear it's not included, it's an add on.

        I got more data for cheaper and got international included with Lebara.

        Thank you so much for pointing this out! My Mrs has been chewing me up for putting her onto a plan without included international calls. I can at least fix up one of the two issues she has with Kogan Mobile (the second being reception… Boost was better as she now travels between 3 work locations rather than the 1 location when she was on the Vodafone network. I'll likely put her back on Boost when Kogan nears expiration but that's still many months away).

        • skinny on 06/02/2023 - 15:45

    Signed up at the start of Jan and tried the $165 deal in 3 different states on an iPhone 13 Pro eSim

    All hopeless including in the CBD max 20mbit average 2-5mbit

    It's like this service receives the absolute lowest priority for Vodafone data

    Lucky when I complained I was able to receive a refund upon porting back out to Boost

    • Drakesy on 06/02/2023 - 11:24

      I took this out in WA and the speeds were better than what boost could get within the CBD/metro area.

      It was as soon as you went outside of it the whole thing fell apart. Back to boost for the reception i go.

    • SimAus007 on 06/02/2023 - 11:46

      I get between 200 to 300Mbps on 4G on the Voda network where I live in Melbourne, so it'll be different for everyone, like every network.
      In fact where I live and mostly use my phone, Voda is better than Telstra coverage, which has a dead spot in an area that is densely populated.

      • s3n on 06/02/2023 - 11:49
        +1

        I did too on Voda and I would expect it to be similar to Telstra / Boost

        This is not the full Voda network it's a severely de-prioritised reseller network

        At least with Boost the priority is higher

          I've switched between Kogan and Voda directly and never noticed any difference. Kogan now also gives customers access to Voda 5G.
          Things have changed quite a lot in recent months.

            @SimAus007: According to below comment there may be a difference between 12 month and 1 - 3 months plans that makes 12 months the bottom feeder plan

            • SimAus007 on 06/02/2023 - 11:58

              @s3n: You could be right. Would be interesting to find out more about this.
              Could be because of how much data these 12 month plans offer and if someone went to town and used it all over a few days, it would slow the network down for everyone connected to that tower/towers. Which all phone networks are susceptible to.
              Just a guess, but if that is what they are doing it should be stated in their terms :/
              Nothing would surprise me with Kogan, they've been slapped with a few fines from the ACCC for misleading customers.

    Good luck finding a better deal, even paying in cash!

    What about Woolworths mobile when you factor in the discount on your groceries.

    • lulzenberg on 06/02/2023 - 11:27

      This is basically why I won't be leaving woolies mobile until they remove that discount. I get 42gb/month on the telstra network essentially for free as we do a big shop once a month at woolies then smaller shops if need be elsewhere. Inflation hitting a lot of our "big ticket" grocery items has definitely made it easier to max out the discount, hah. I think pet food for 4 animals gets us about 50% of the way there on it's own.

    • Jklaro on 06/02/2023 - 11:30

            +3

            @AwesomeAndrew: You'd have to specify which foods. The tempura nuggets are the same. Meat and veg is obviously the same animals and plants. They also sell a bunch of brand name stuff like Coke, TimTams, Allens lollies, etc. Their tinned peaches are actually better (sweeter and more "ripe" as-in softer, not hard, more taste, and a better colour) than ColesWorths. Plain stuff like oats, sugar, milk, milk powder, weetbix, flour, etc all the same. Frozen veg again the same plants. Canned salmon same. Tuna same. All frozen pizza from all of them is awful but Aldi's is high up on that awful scale. Ham and honey ham the same. Their chunky beef pies are quite good. Rice bran and sunflower oil, same. Eggs same. The "Country Style" bread they sell stays fresh/soft longer than the real Country Style (whatever it is). Frozen meals mostly the same.

            You might be comparing brand names at ColesWorths with Aldi, when you should be comparing ColesWorths store brands with Aldi. Of course things like fish fingers, crumbed fish, breakfast cereals, chocolate, are going to be worse than brand names because so is ColesWorths store brand stuff.

          Yes, Voda has a smaller network and won't cover more remote areas with smaller populations, we all know this. It's also why they are such great value for those of us who never or rarely visit these areas.
          I get better coverage in Melbourne, in my local area with Vodafone than I do with Telstra, which has a dead spot in a populated area, as mentioned, it's different for everyone as we clearly don't all live in the same place, but the majority of people do, which is where Vodafone is good at covering.

        On the page I have open:

        ". Voucher must be purchased by 11:59pm AEDT on 13/02/2023. Voucher expires at 11:59pm AEST on 31/03/2023.".

        Which works out well for me:-)

    Good deal op. I am currently using up some Belong packs but will get family to move to Kogan. Very good value for heavy users.

      Just got of this page, checked e-mail, and there was a little note from Belong telling me the $15 plan is ending and jumping to $19 in April…

      "We will no longer offer a $15 mobile plan and will move you to our $19 plan from 14 April 2023 which will take effect on your next payment date.

      What that means for you
      The amount you pay each month will increase by $4 per month.

      If the plan no longer suits your needs, you can cancel your service using the Belong app or change to another plan at no cost.

      There will be no other changes to your plan, including international calls and text and/or data top-ups"

      Two months notice isn't too bad butits not quite worth the effort to do the SIM dance now.

      Keen to know the same thing! Does it work for existing customers?

    Has anyone repurchased a 12 month deal a few months before their current 12 month plan expires? Can you add the new 12 month pack and it will be additional to your remaining months?

      If it was available for exisiting customers as a recharge then it resets it.

      No

    Does anyone know a plan with good data for 365 days that also includes a decent roaming pack? I like the Kogan for the data and long expiry but the roaming is 10/day. I have a planned vacation for 1 month and 10/day makes it too expensive. Any suggestions would be great.

    If porting from Vodafone post-paid, will there be any issues?

    • terrys on 13/02/2023 - 20:54

      If you're out of contract, only being badgered for data by the " It's a lower priority network/no it isn't" bunfight participants over ————————-> that way.
