I am looking to spend the equivalent of $20-$30 on a sim only plan that has unlimited calls and texts and 20+ GB a month. I have found a Boost mobile sim which has 260GB over 12 months for $249 and was wondering where this deal lies compared to the other deals I see popping up all the time. I have seen some boost mobile deals which seem to return a profit but I don't have the time to be changing my sim card every month so I wanted just one sim for 12 months. Additionally, I was wondering what would happen at the end of the 12 months with the Boost mobile plan I am thinking of getting? Would I be able to recharge for the exact same deal, have to get a new sim card from Boost or change provider because the Boost mobile deals are for new customers only?
Looking for a 12 Month Sim, Is The $249 for 260GB (Boost) a Good Deal?

WESTPAC60 = 60Gb @ $20 p/m for 12 months.
that's a good deal if you need international call along with quite a decent data allowance with Telstra coverage. otherwise, you want to look into Kogan mobile or amaysim.
Do you know what network provides best reception in your area? It will vary but pick the place you'll need it the most. Then choose a telco from there.
Yes, although i've only ever taken it out with the 250+50 bonus - 300gb offer which lasts me around 10 months.
Currently on kogan and presently surprised (even if it isn't Telstra)
Just port your number to another cheap provider after the 12 months. Good price for a large data allowance, if you need it.

Depends on what good deal means to you.
To most Ozbargainers, good deal means something like https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/761990
aka being paid to use mobile services
If you needed whole year plan Coles mobile has a 200GB deal for $169
$1 per GB is where it's at - any time you can do better you're winning
If you dont need all that data you can get Woolworths mobile 180GB for $200 and they will give you 10% off a shop once a month (if you shop with them). Works out for me that I save at least $240 a year on shopping so I'm making $40 on the phone plan.
You don't get access to the full Telstra network like you do with boost but they do you the telstra network.
Any tips for recharging a Telstra 12 month plan? Is there some sort of gift card option?
I dont know if there is this deal still there but I got 50gb with unlimited calls and text for $15 per month with circle.life and a student bean deal, maybe worth checking if its still there
