        nope, went somewhere cheaper i dont mind. boost was $135 for with more data last year.

  • nk7 on 29/03/2023 - 14:31

    After the one year, what do I do? I can't get another deal because I'm not a new customer.

      I did this just last week and was a 10min process. Was on an existing $200 boost sim that was expiring, bought another $200 sim through a deal similar to this. Spoke to the boost support web chat and they transferred my new current number to the new sim.

      I just told the support that I "accidentally" bought a new sim instead of recharging.

      Per https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/13560006/redir
      I go through this process yearly for 2 of my services. Customer service have no issues with doing so.

      • kevinnn on 29/03/2023 - 15:09

        Same. Support chat , tell em you want to transfer your number to new SIM card. Process takes maybe like 10-30mins. Do it for myself and mum

        • boomramada on 29/03/2023 - 16:24

          Sometimes when I sms ppl after the transfer, message receiver get the new number? Does that happened to you guys ?but not all the time.

        • K1D A on 30/03/2023 - 08:52

          can you transfer it to recharge if its a few weeks before the previous plan expired?

    • id on 29/03/2023 - 20:27

      pricematch with officeworks and then chat with them… most are willing to transfer and activate

  • boretentsu on 29/03/2023 - 14:46

    That's annoying, just bought it yesterday from lucky.

    • sauxliu on 30/03/2023 - 09:52

      Lucky is still cheaper than this right?

  • plasmapuff on 29/03/2023 - 14:59

    Felix is a good free provider to port to (Vodafone). Last time I ported my number to an Esim via the app and then back to a physical Boost SIM within 15 Mins.

  • 2fiddy on 29/03/2023 - 15:16

    Is 150mbps -5g ?

      Limit will be on both 4G and 5G.

    • packeteer on 31/03/2023 - 15:21

      it's a speed limit, applies to both 4g and 5g

  • Anvariel on 29/03/2023 - 15:30

    what is the data allowance for subsequent recharges after the first?

  • syx on 29/03/2023 - 15:32

    Is the general consensus that OW are no longer price beating Lucky Mobile's price?

    My yearly plan is due in about 3 weeks so will need a new plan by then.

    • Anon257 on 29/03/2023 - 15:46

      Does anyone know if you can recharge with the cheaper plan and roll over existing data? I.e. Signed up in the $300 plan and have 50 Gb left, can I recharge on the $200(discounted) plan and get 140+40Gb data?

      My Dad also has a plan expiring soon.

      • sauxliu on 30/03/2023 - 09:53
        +1

        No. Each recharge is a new period Boost doesn't do data rollover.

        • Anon257 on 30/03/2023 - 19:40

      I just popped in to Officeworks today and got the $300 Sim price beat. Might be a good idea to call your local beforehand.

  • MuddyClear on 29/03/2023 - 15:34

    Cheaper to price beat lucky mobile $169.95 at Officeworks

      my local OW stopped allowing pricematch with luckymobile and others. So I just buy directly from them, sim still works.

      • ntt on 06/04/2023 - 11:56

  • starburstyellow on 29/03/2023 - 15:36

    My plan is due to expire 30/03. Based on advice here on ozb, went on chat 2 days ago to ask if they can do anything. Got told if I recharge it, and quote the quote number (provided) after it's been recharged they will reimburse me the $30. I'll be contacting them some time tomorrow after I recharge my plan. :)

    • Spectatie on 29/03/2023 - 17:49

    can i use this to recharge my boost sim in a months time? or is it new customer only

    • mitcheo on 29/03/2023 - 15:44

      the answer is literally in the title?

      • UsernameChecksIn on 29/03/2023 - 15:46

        new customers only! you must identify as more than one customer

    • scud70 on 29/03/2023 - 15:46

      It's in the title mate… but also check out what some of the others recommend, either port out then back or go on chat and ask nicely to transfer your number to the new sim.

  • idonteven on 29/03/2023 - 15:46

    Is Boost or Telstra better? Since Boost also uses Telstra.

    • scud70 on 29/03/2023 - 15:47

      Boost is Telstra, they are owned by Telstra :) … they are the same in coverage 0 difference only thing they do is cap your 5g to 150mb

      • willyroo on 29/03/2023 - 16:21
        +1

        Telstra also caps at 150mbps (4G and 5G) on most prepaid plans, effective 4 April. Boost = Telstra for coverage, see below for the only difference. Boost isn't owned by Telstra though - it's a separate company.

        Thanks, no issues with activation if I sit on it for a while?

  • pravni on 29/03/2023 - 17:05

    Woolies uses Telstra network as well and provides eSIM capability, Boost or Woolies better?
    I am using Woolies eSIM just to test it out and it's been good so far. I have Telstra SIm too and can't see any difference between the two

    • lastkey on 29/03/2023 - 17:26

      All Telstra Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) run on the Telstra wholesale network with the exception of Boost Mobile. While Telstra’s full network reaches 99.5% of the population the wholesale version covers 98.8%. It might not seem like a huge difference, but it means that Telstra MVNOs may not be an option for customers in rural areas.

      Copied from another forum so can't confirm if its accurate about woolies, but I've used Boost and you get all features mentioned below in addition to international minutes or unlimited calls/txt to certain destinations.

      Boost =
      Full Telstra retail 3G/4G/5G coverage
      VoLTE / VoWifi

      Woolworths =
      Telstra Wholesale network (which is slightly less footprint than retail, mainly in regional areas)
      No VoLTE / VoWIFI

      • a20c87 on 29/03/2023 - 20:52

        No VoLTE / VoWIFI
        Copied from another forum so can't confirm if its accurate about woolies

        I switched to Woolworths Mobile last week. Both VoLTE and VoWiFi are working on my device.

        • pravni on 30/03/2023 - 12:25

          Thanks for confirming

      • pravni on 30/03/2023 - 12:26

        Good to know, thanks mate.

    • brissg on 30/03/2023 - 13:03

      I was Boost's loyal customer for 3 years until my year plan expired last year. There was no Boost's deal at that time so I changed to Woolowrths. While Woolworths has VoLTE and VoWIFI as well, its signal isn't as strong as Boost in my local area, and the speed is significant lower as well. Where I usually have full signal and quite fast internet, now there's a bar of signal only, and internet is sometimes too low to download a page. It may be a minor problem, but sometimes it's so annoying when I'm inside the shop, can't find the product I need, but can't open the website to show the staff what I am looking for.

      • xseta on 31/03/2023 - 01:14

        No 5g with woolies mobile too I think on long expiry plans?

  • cng on 29/03/2023 - 17:39

    I just signed up with mates mobile with this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/757162 which uses the boost/telstra network so after the 3 months am I considered a new customer for Boost?

  • sajidmib on 29/03/2023 - 21:22

    For those comparing telstra vs boost.

    Boost is literally telstra, when i ported from boost to telstra i went to telstra store at Highpoint and they changed it to my old number.

    Boost to vodafone or any other telco is 30 mins.

    Boost to Telstra is 24-48 hours port. First
    Activate telstra prepaid sim new number and after 24 hrs walk in to telstra store to change your old boost number to telstra activated sim.

    Didnt know and its their process, internal one.

    Chao ! Thank me later.

  • froddoog on 29/03/2023 - 22:56

    I have been doing this thing my mates call as stingy 😅

    I usually would buy those $30 prepaid SIM card that is half price at coles or woolies. They usually goes 1/2 quite often, bought few of them and every month I would port to different provider.

    • lawyerz on 30/03/2023 - 00:25

      You've just discovered sim slutting. I did it monthly, then quarterly for 7 years until the era of 12-mth expiry prepaid SIM.

      • froddoog on 30/03/2023 - 15:34

        Maybe I shall stop and go to 12-mth prepaid card.
        Don’t you save more with sim slitting?

        • lawyerz on 30/03/2023 - 15:43

          Yes in the era of $5/monthly Sim, or $15/quarterly. Those deals are far and few in between, so I go for $100/yr ish annual Sim deals. Also less effort. After a while I get blocked to activate my Sim online and have to call them, really annoying.

  • Super Saiyan on 30/03/2023 - 06:34

    Hey guys, does anyone know if I'm able to port to boost directly from Telstra?

    I'm on the Telstra 12 month prepaid plan at the mo which is due to expire in a couple of weeks.

  • maxdee on 04/04/2023 - 09:41

    If I'm reading this correctly, my BOOST 12 month pack expires next week. But can I assume you buy the pack now (not wait until your current plan expires)?

    I take it I would receive a SIM in the post (with a different number), then online chat with BOOST to ask them to transfer my old number to the NEW SIM?

    All this can be done before the old data pack/plan expires?

    • Heybargain on 04/04/2023 - 11:58

      Correct. You'll loose whatever data you still have and they'll port your existing service onto the new SIM.

    Can anyone confirm if Boost VoLTE / VoWifi will work overseas - eg. purchasing a data-only eSIM service in Singapore and making / receiving calls to / from Australia on the Boost service?

    I believe we will receive SMS while being overseas without purchasing an International Pack but was wondering if having data via eSIM will also permit functionality of VoLTE / VoWiFi?

  • timhn on 10/04/2023 - 09:31

    Is Boost issue tax invoice receipt? Bought a few Boost 30 days SIM deals with Cashback but never get any receipt from Boost. I wanted to get a 12 months SIM for work related so need a tax invoice.
