Boost Mobile FAQs

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 31 May have 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.

      Is it true? I saw in another post he claimed he was over half way through. No way he got enough of these $1-5 profit sims, that he has a few thousand dollars profit. Is there a tactic? Some sort of bot?

        I struggled to buy 3 (and a battle to legitimately activate and use them). Weird promo from Boost. Basically encourages you to do a dozen at a time to make it worthwhile.
        But I'll just do one at a time…don't bite off the hand that feeds you.

        I have made multiple thousand dollar profit from these sims.

        • FlipperMeTimbers on 12/08/2023 - 19:26

          So when theres high profits like $5, you just keep individually buying these sims (how many? does cashrewards/cashback deny any?) and then activate it under your own ID (is there a limit? do you use other peoples IDs like your parents or something?)

              @wavesgreen: so roughly how many of these sims have you bought? also i dont really what is stopping me from creating a selenium bot to auto activate these.

              and do you confirm the sim has been activated after doing the form thing?

      • FlipperMeTimbers on 12/08/2023 - 19:30

        but is there no limit per address/name/identity? when activating do they not question you have a trillion sims under the same identity? does cash rewards let you take out so much money at once? also you are investing $2400 for like 3 months.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/08/2023 - 01:18

          but is there no limit per address/name/identity?

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14139651/redir

          when activating do they not question you have a trillion sims under the same identity?

          Activation is online. They used to have a limit but seem to have increased it now (see above). The experience of most people now is, if activation doesn't work, you get on livechat and ask them to delete the old phone numbers from your account (which you keep a record of so you can cut & paste them in the chat to make it easier for them).

          does cash rewards let you take out so much money at once?

          CR doesn't care when you withdraw your own money.

          also you are investing $2400 for like 3 months.

          Huh!?

          • FlipperMeTimbers on 13/08/2023 - 18:57

            @[Deactivated]: 200 sims is $2400, and cashrewards takes 2-3 months to pay you back, thus how I came to the “you are investing $2400 for like 3 months” conclusion.

            “ask them to delete the old phone numbers from your account”, what account? does boost automatically generate an account under your details? i have a boost sim and no telstra/boost account.

            • [Deactivated] on 13/08/2023 - 20:50

              @FlipperMeTimbers: An account is created when you activate the first SIM. As you use them up and buy more the expired phone numbers stay on your account. When that total reaches 35 your ability to activate yourself online gets blocked. Then you have to either contact them every time to activate each new SIM, or, get on livechat and ask them to delete all the old numbers. People are saying if you keep a list of those old numbers you can cut and paste them all into the livechat in one block to make it easy for the rep to delete them.

              One way around this SHOULD be to use different email, etc and I think I read someone on here say they did that. But it didn't work for me. When I tried that a few months back their phone app still recognized I was the same person and added all 4x SIMs to the same app. So eventually I'll reach 35 and will have to ask a rep to delete the old numbers.

      • tunzafun001 on 13/08/2023 - 00:09

        "Easy profit"… Buying, collecting and activating were all a hassell for me.

        Ive changed everything, but still get flagged (only buying 1). Tech support said something to do with me being a previous Telstra customer and my Boost ID has details the same as my old Telstra ID… I said "yeah and?" .. Apparently the system flags it. At both the buying and activation end. Tried a different address, then post office lady busted my balls because my license address didnt match the delivery address (had to ask for where the rule is that I must get everything I buy sent to my home address). Had the letter box card, my license, water bill and could tell her what was under the wrapper..still didnt want to let it go..hahaha.. Then activation, had to call up.. Online denied again. They couldnt possibly deny you cashback with a bollocks system like this. Keep your screenshots.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/08/2023 - 02:04

          That sounds more like reps making stuff up to get you off the line because they don't really know the answer. Try asking them to delete every old phone number related to your account except the one you're using right now.

      Someone in this or another Boost thread the last week or so (I'm falling asleep so not sure which I read it in) said they call or get on Boost livechat and ask a rep to swap their number to each new SIM. Most people port out to another telco using $2 starter SIMs, then back into Boost. I just force everyone to bow to my will by doing this: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14122301/redir

      My point being, if they can swap a number from an "empty" but still active SIM directly to a new "full" SIM, then they can do the same for you. You'd probably have to go buy another starter SIM though unless you want to wait for them to send one. e.g. $2 at Colesworths.

      FWIW I did this same thing with another telco. The SIM I received was defective. It activated online but SIM itself refused to work in phone. Bought another starter SIM for $2, phoned them, and they swapped the number of the broken SIM to the new SIM in under a minute.

    • Alley Cat on 13/08/2023 - 20:04

    New to Boost and not a lot of Cash Rewards experience. I know, I know, bad OzBargainer.

    Does Cashback tracking reflect in site only after activated? I used link in deal to shop via Cash Rewards portal, purchased and received SIM. Nothing showing in my Cashback even as tracking. I have pretty aggressive ad blockers but thought I'd disabled all. Now I'm concerned I may have mucked it up.

    • AkuroPlays on 12/08/2023 - 14:27

      Just make sure you click through the Cashrewards extension each time. It'll add to your click activity. And in the unlikely scenario where it doesn't get tracked, you can make a claim after 7 days showing the proof of purchase (email confirmation), just make sure the time is align with the time of purchase.

          Someone posted in a recent Boost thread they buy these SIM continuously, and for each new one they contact Boost (not sure if by livechat or phone), and ask the rep to port their phone number from the "old" SIM they're finished with, to a new SIM. (No porting out then back in.) You'd have to go back through the threads to find their comment.

          I wonder if anyone successfully done that and still get the bonus data.

      Use as data instead from your main sim - handy if you have dual SIM phone. My main number is on Optus and can be hit&miss some places. Good to have an alternative one for free when needed.

      New number to signup perks, freebies.

      Give out to overseas visitors - gave to a niece from overseas came to visit us for few weeks and she was confused when being told it was 50GB unlimited calls and i got a profit of $1.

    Thanks op. Who can I port out to now so I can post back to boost again? Used to be Kogan but no one offering free month now

      Mate does 1 month for $1 at the moment but it is postpaid plus your billing cycle starts on the purchase date not the activation date.

        Thanks. Already tried them last cycle. Wonder if I can "try" again as a new customer…. After 28 days…?

    I've discovered something….

    When using cashrewards app to buy it, it fails.
    But when using chrome straight it work.

    This is on Android.

      Try changing your default browser so cashrewards uses that.
      I have no problem with firefox as default browser, so the app uses that, if I change default to Samsung Internet(only other browser on my phone) CR app then uses that.

    Does Boost allow you to select a free custom number similar to Amaysim? Not talking about the good ones (i.e. 888, etc), but to go in a roulette type search function?

    • Quarter Pounder on 14/08/2023 - 07:43

      No, preassigned to the Sim I think.

    Bought first boost sim for this cashback offer, still hasn't tracked is worrying :(

      I wouldn't worry. CashRewards is solid when it comes to honouring tracking. Just raise a claim if it hasn't appeared on your account after 7 days.

    I purchased through the app but my cashback hasn't tracket yet. I used the same email address to make an order a few months ago so I hope that hasn't caused any issues.

  • Charlie Dont Surf on 14/08/2023 - 10:32

    Hoping that there will be another cashback offer from Cashrewards before the Boost deal expires on 22/8.

  • Turd on 15/08/2023 - 23:54

    Good to find some good moblie numbers…

    got one which starts with 0400 interesting lol

  • meowsers on 16/08/2023 - 13:00

    @BargainsGrabber Is this actually expired? the pricing is still $12 on the boost site from what it looks like.

      The $35 SIM for $12 hasn’t expired, but the bonus cashback has :)

      • meowsers on 16/08/2023 - 13:02

        Thanks for the quick reply :)

        The only reason I ask is CashRewards on the boost page says "$35 28-day Prepaid SIM
        $13 cashback"

        So does that mean if I buy the $35 (now $12) boost 28 day SIM I won't get $13 back?

        • BargainsGrabber on 16/08/2023 - 13:03

          It essentially mean that if you purchase the $35 SIM (now $12), you get $13 cashback ($1 profit) if you purchase it via Cashrewards
