| 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" " or "SORRY, SOMETHING WENT WRONG" 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. Possible fraud scenario: API returns during purchase - credit to @himalpatel. Live chat advised that if you faced the above fraud scenario message, you need to use your friends details (aka a completely different details) to order |
| 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. |
The code is not listed in CR, though I know some people said the $50 cashback still tracked fine.
