Was looking for a 12-month prepaid deal was mine coming up for renew and found this Vodafone for those who needs. Works out to be $12.5 per month for 12.5GB data.
It's on 5G network and includes international calls & text. Though I could not find anything about international calls on their fact sheet.
Online deal only. Deal expires on 05/11

I see no reason to buy it now and use in 12 month time. Theres plenty of deals between now and then. You might prefer different network down the track.
I am on this plan atm and there is no international call. I might switch to Boost Mobile next year if they roll out the esims.
Network issues on vodafone. You get 5G but works as 2G.
Vodafone isnt all that great but that comment is a stretch. Coverage can be good or bad depends on areas & network
I can understand but all the where i travelled i found it pretty annoying.
This was my experience( boost> Voda for 4 weeks> boost). It worked well enough at home and work where there is wifi.
Driving about and on public transport it was pretty awful compared to the Telstra network.
I would grab a smaller sim to try the network out before committing to a year.
I speed test between 300 to 600Mbps on 5G where on live on Voda, in fact it works better than Telstra in my area, which was a surprise.
Has always been Vodafail. Full bar but no traffic. Likely not enough backhaul
Also 2G us a goner 3G now but yes very slow
Sometimes I feel like these prepaid is much better value than the normal post paid?? Am I wrong?
Depends on the deal. Works out the handset cost on postpaid and the monthly plan vs the cost of purchasing a handset outright plus cheaper prepaid plan. Sometimes, prepaid has slightly better value but you have the freedom of moving networks wherever necessary. I’m
Mostly better value but that generally means either you have a phone already or will need to purchase your phone of choice upfront which doesn't suit everyone's financial situation so they go the post paid route on a phone and SIM plan.
If you are happy to BYO phone (buy your phones outright) as I tend to do nowadays, you can save a LOT of money on these prepaid deals. I've not paid more than $15/month in 4 + years now and haven't looked back (I don't need more than around 10GB PM).
any info on when we need to activate by?
12 months
Woolies has this on special at this price very often and you have 12 months from time of purchase.
I did it last year.never vodafail
Telstrafail is worse where I live so I guess it depends on your location.
Purchased and used over this year, needing to recharge start of Nov, would I have to port out and then back in?
Can anyone advise if a Voda customer can keep their current number if activating this sim? thanks
If you are a current Voda customer you'll need to port out and back, the free Boost SIM is perfect for this.
Also, it looks as though we can get 15% back via Top Cash Back, has anyone else tried this?thanks, good to know! :)
Did you manage to get 15% cashback tracked?
I just bought a new 12m sim. If I bought this now, could I use it in 12 months time or do they have some sort of expiry?
