FAQ thanks to BG

Question Answer
1. Is Boost operated by Telstra network? Yes, on the full Telstra network
2. Does Boost support 5G? Yes, for all Boost prepaid customers and it is currently on trial until 3 April 2023
From 4 April 2023, 5G network access will be included as standard on your service and we’ll be introducing capped download speed caps on our 4G and 5G networks
3. Does Boost support e-SIM? Sadly not at this stage. However there are plans to do so
4. Do you have to activate the SIM within 30 days? Every Cashrewards Boost cashback up to and including Feb 28 has been approved (confirmed by TA) - provided you activated within 30 days of order
5. How long is the SIM expiry? Usually 1 year, but to qualify for cashback the SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering
6. It is showing “new customer” on Boost website. What does this mean? New customer term is only for the additional Boost data, and nothing to do with the cashback offer
7. Can I receive international text message (aka int. roaming) with this SIM by default? Yes, you can receive SMS while overseas, but can’t send outgoing to Australia
8. How long does it take to receive the SIM? According to the Boost Rep: Once dispatched, you should receive your order within the following business days: Metro Areas – 2-5 business days for capital cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart & Brisbane (order before 4pm). Non Metro or Regional / remote areas – 3-7 business days
9. Is porting in a Telstra number to Boost considered a "new customer"? From Boost Mobile rep via dm: Porting a number from Telstra to Boost is definitely considered a new customer
10. Are you able to purchase multiple plans using different names / ID (or can I purchase 4 x plans for the family using my own details)? From Boost Mobile rep via dm: Received clarification from the team and this is a tricky one since for compliance the terms is showing the customer is only allowed 1 sim per transaction but he can buy multiple SIMs and then activate them all under his name and he will then be able to manage all the numbers when he logs into the App with his Boost ID.
11. Information on what to do when the "please try again later" message comes up List of indicators that can affect how your order is flagged in different financial systems, which can hopefully help you understand what is going wrong
12. Can this be used to recharge? No, this is a starter pack. But you can ask a CSR to use the starter kit as a recharge. I think technically the service is activated on a new number and then your existing number/account is migrated across. The outcome is basically the same. Voicemail greeting needs to be recorded again.

Enjoy!

      Usually goes up slowly from $2 to $4-5 then a break and start again

      These are handy if you've got a dual sim phone too.

    FYI this needs to be activated by tomorrow 8/5/2023 to claim the extra 20gb

      Ignore it as it will be extended again. Sometimes it may even be extra 25GB.

      This is not the case. Boost have rolling deals with rolling dates. So long as you buy within the specified sale timeframe, you get the bonus data. I confirmed this via chat.

  • ninnypoop on 07/05/2023 - 14:00

    Do people take full advantage of these cashback offers for simcards and change simcards each month? How much of a pain is it to transfer number to the new SIM each time?

    • Neoika on 07/05/2023 - 14:04

      It is about dedication and habit development in the beginning. It'll be the norm once you get used to it later.

      I bought a cheap year plan for main number and use these to top up data in dual sim phone. Works well for me :)

      • amsaini15 on 07/05/2023 - 14:17

        Who is the other cheap provider we can switch between Boost and them every month?

          Not sure. I don't use it like that because it's too much hassle for me. If you find out though make sure to post it here for others

              @amsaini15: If they don't need much data, catch mobile has 90 days plan with 20GB for $21.

        • Neoika on 07/05/2023 - 14:21

          Not Kogan as it has increased the price of the first 30 day plan this month. Maybe Lebara in the supermarket if keep the number.

          Vodafone still allows a $40 SP to be used for 365 days ($30 SP for 180 days) with limited inclusion, suitable for the main number.

          • SaberXLancer on 07/05/2023 - 17:15

            @Neoika: I can't find any relevant information. Could you explain how to get this 365 days plan?

          It’s in your name(almost)

          Amaysim.

        • USER DC on 09/05/2023 - 04:28

          Why not just get a new number ?

      • Musabbir99 on 09/05/2023 - 05:23

        Do you have any issues when you are using your main number to make/receive phone calls? As in, does your mobile data from your second sim work? I am using an eSIM and a physical SIM on my Fold 2, and I can't use data on one sim while on a call with the other. It is very frustrating. There is not even a way to switch SIMs mid call, so I have to hang up first before my data works again.
        So I was very curious if you have the same issue or not. Maybe I just have to change some settings?

        • Chocobros on 10/05/2023 - 19:38

          @Musabbir99 yes I have experienced this. I have data in my main sim and when that is selected as data sim and call sim I can access data whilst on call. Unfortunately when main sim is calls and other sim is data then it is difficult and I experience the same as you.

          I don't think there is a work around. For me the savings make this small Inconvenience acceptable but it might not be for you.

      • CyberHippy on 17/05/2023 - 20:34

        Which cheap yearly plan did you go with?

        • Chocobros on 17/05/2023 - 20:45

          Kogan 365 small. Think it was 120gb and ended up costing me $79 for the year. For some reason Vodafone/ kogan network works best for me in rural areas so worked out very well.

      I have a dual sim phone and just use the sim for data. No need to change your number. But I wouldn't be doing it if I had to keep changing my number every month would be a nightmare.

      • ninnypoop on 07/05/2023 - 15:09

        Nice! That sounds totally manageable. Might look into doing this.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/05/2023 - 20:26
      +2

      I don't port. I have a permanent number with Amaysim which costs $15 per year to keep active and is the number I give people for my incoming calls. You can do the same with Aldi $5 SIMs.

      I make outgoing calls on whatever number these SIMs give.

      Government and business answer every number anyway, and if friends/family refuse to answer my new unknown number, I either just speak to them next time I see them or send an SMS before calling: "It's FP about to phone you." It doesn't take long to train everyone so the world revolves around you as it should.

    • mitt on 08/05/2023 - 09:00

      I keep my primary number on a 12 month sim & activate these with new numbers to use for mobile data. Its not worth transferring my primary number from sim to sim every month.

    • lancesta on 10/05/2023 - 11:10

      I have done this before. People often recommend you don't do it with your main number so you don't loose it and all that. I guess that might happen (aka if you cancel before transferring) but I was always careful to never tell anyone I'm porting out.

      For me it was fine enough, but I don't do it anymore. I just had to set reminders a week or two out from renewal so I'd have another one ready to go.

      There were a few 3 month plans along the way that worked out cheap so that helped it not feel like I was doing it every month. That said with expiry dates and such I was able to have 1 or two ready to go anyway.

      I now do it solely for data (2nd Sim) when travelling for work. There's usually some really good intro data deals around.

  • Dr-Bargain on 07/05/2023 - 14:21

    Thank you

  • sorasora on 07/05/2023 - 14:59

    How do you prevent "something went wrong. we’re unable to process your request at this time." problem when you register? I got this error three times when I tried to activate the sim card. The solution is to bug the live chat and ask them to activate my sim cards manually

    • Treasurehunter on 07/05/2023 - 15:14

      Yes only that way you can activate
      Because too many activate before

      • timhn on 07/05/2023 - 15:32

        Last time when i got this error and need to contact them to activate, I asked them was there anything blocked with my account that i couldn't activate myself, they said nothing wrong with the account. They said could be due to maintenance work in backend - yes, right, maintenance for over 3 consecutive days?

    • umoddbro on 07/05/2023 - 16:49

      You can't its either you have too many sims under your account or your ID. Only way is to do it through chat, its ok not too big of a hassle sometimes it can take like 5 minutes other times the rep just takes their sweet time and takes 15 minutes or more……

      • Mibo on 07/05/2023 - 20:54

        You can get the rep to deactivate the other sims under your account so that you wouldn't have this problem the next time you're activating another sim.

      • Fobsessive on 08/05/2023 - 02:05

        To try to guilt you into recharging. Some people cave in the face of confrontation. Simply asking a question results in increased sales. Human beings are incredibly fickle things that are statistically predictable.

    Can I receive international text message (aka int. roaming) with this SIM by default? - The comment you tagged was from last year.

    My wife is currently overseas and she is not receiving incoming SMS. Not sure if Boost has changed the way it works or some tech issue

    Message from Boost rep :
    ncoming SMS will not work if International Roaming Pack is not added on a Boost mobile service while overseas.

  • Urbahns2008 on 12/05/2023 - 11:23

    just wondering if any1 has a "real" experience of getting the cashback approved activating the new starter pack but on an existing number? thanks in advance.
