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 March 31 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. Using as a "recharge" is being dis-allowed and activating first and moving the number may be allowed but is frowned upon and may not be allowed in future depending on how you ask for it. |
Enjoy!
Boost is "full telstra network" however I have noticed I no longer get reception in the toilet at work, where Telstra worked fine
