FAQ thanks to BG

Question Answer
1. Is Boost operated by Telstra network? Yes, on the full Telstra network
2. Does Boost support 5G? 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 August 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" " 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.

Enjoy!

    Cashback <$5 profit = No buy

  • +1

    $5 profit won't be far away I reckon.

    • Usually increases by 50 cents each day.

  • Bought too early… Will buy again at $5

    • Profit is as profit does

  • +1

    $5 is my trigger

    • +1

      Buy 2 then, winning!

      • +1

        2x the work

        • More like 1.3 times as buying 2 doesn't take any longer, just the activation process.

          • +1

            @WatchNerd: Hard to activate 0.3 of a sim card but yes I get what your saying.

      • +2

        With the dreaded spectre of the Something Went Wrong error waiting in the shadows to strike, I don't blame people for hedging their bets and holding off for purchasing at a higher profit.

  • +2

    Something went right yet again. The monotonous profit train inches ahead

  • SORRY, SOMETHING WENT WRONG
    We’re sorry but we’re experiencing technical issues. Please try again later.

    As always.

    So opaque about what's really going on. Poor form.

  • how to transfer the cashback out?

  • Cheers, does anyone know approximately how long until the cashback is paid into the account?

    • +1

      It says 91 days on their website. I can confirm that it is usually about this long, from past experience.

      • +1

        Thanks mate.

      • +5

        Depends when in the month you purchase because Cashrewards payout the end of the second month after purchase.

        e.g.
        Aug purchases paid out 31 Oct
        (Jul - no deals)
        Jun purchases paid out 28 Aug
        May purchases paid out 27 Jul
        Apr purchases paid out 23 Jun

  • I am trying to activate my boost sim from previous deals but am getting error saying “Id could not be verified”. But I am sure I am putting the right details - anyone else getting same error? I tried both on mobile and laptop but same result - anyone else ?

    • Yeah. Had this issue today. Spoke with chat who were also unable to verify me. They want me to go into a Telstra store to confirm my identity.

      • Thanks mate ! That’s a bummer ! I have 5 cards needing activation. Does activating for a different person work ? Or does it have to be for me only ?

        • +1

          Activating for different people should work, as long as the Telstra/Boost system doesn't pick it up as fraud e.g. IP address etc.

          I've marked my SIM with the date that it needs to be activated by. I'll test again in a few weeks, and if I have an issue, will activate in a family members name as a once off.

          If it doesn't work in a few weeks, sounds like I might be out of the Boost game for a while.

      • Yeah, nah… They won't be doing that to me. There's no Telstra store anywhere near me and I'm not driving 3 hours wasting fuel just because they don't know how to do their job and/or their system is borked. Is the TIO and the compiling of fines they used to give a telco until they finally fix something, still a thing? www.tio.com.au

    • How many boost sims do you currently have activated? Looks like I might be hitting up some family memebers

      • +1

        Not too many - I only buy one per deal 😃 or May be 2 if I get greedy 😃. I have 9 sims in my account at the moment but only 2 of them are active. And have 5 more that need to be activated over the next couple weeks.

        • +1

          I'm getting close to your level. I almost feel like Icarus going so close to the sun. I think I'm going to wait until I get my 9 different boost sim cashbacks in my account before I dig myself too deep.

    • +1

      I've had this issue twice in the past and the customer service chat managed to verify.

      • +1

        Good to know - will try chat tomorrow and report back. Thanks !

        • +2

          Quick update from my end - I just tried again this morning and it worked. May be it has something to do with dates/ days since last x activations ?

          • @Dealking: Thanks @Dealking. Just saw your comment and tested. Working for me this morning as well.

  • I understand that if bought via Cashrewards and activated within 30 days, that you'll get the $20.50 cashback.
    For this sim however, can anyone explain the 'activate by the 27/11' implication on the Boost site?
    I'm assuming that if not activated by 27/11 that you'll only get the 'regular' 35gb, instead of the 65gb advertised…?

    • +1

      I recently activated a $40 sim purchased back in May and got the 30gb +25gb bonus = 55gb, so I wouldn't worry too much about the current 65gb deal expiring… (anything is possible though)

      • +1

        Ok. Great, thanks.

  • Aw what? Why is it going up? Is that a thing?

  • +1

    ordered 3 for family members. no issues. all tracked minutes later
