Usually goes on special for $22.00 so this is a great price.

This can last 3 months (combined with $20 referral credit) if activated on the $29 plan. Once your account is set up you can move to the $19 plan so it's ready for the next payment date, $2 more needed for the 3rd month.
Belong Plans.

Before you activate make sure you get a referral code from a friend already with Belong or the OzBargain Belong pool for an additional $20 credit. If you've been with Belong before you will have to use a new email in order to get the referral credit again.

  • captbollocks on 08/11/2023 - 12:44

    Sorry belong starter pack noob here. How do you activate this for 3 months?

    You activate on $29 plan initially then straight away switch to $19 so it becomes 3 X $19 = $57? And pay the difference?

        I've written it differently in old posts but you still get comments asking how to do it, so I tried to simplify it.

        If you have any suggestions let me know?

      • voldemort on 08/11/2023 - 13:56

        Thank you, I’ll may switch from Boost to this one for longer expiry

        Ah it's $29+$19+$19-$20 referral bonus.

        As $19 plan is only available after first month. Thanks for the link @donbot83

        Direct link: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/808652#comment-14488548

        So, in simpler terms, if i want 100gb, it will cost $17 and last one month and then finish after one month?

        The cards can be activated any time in the next 12 months?

        Or i can do the link above for 3 months.

        • WatchNerd on 09/11/2023 - 09:26
          +1

          So, in simpler terms, if i want 100gb

          The starter pack has $45 value + $20 referral credit, so it's up to you how you want to use it which is why I linked to the "Belong Plans". I mainly focused on how to get the most amount of time out of it.

          I think you can activate on any plan except the $19 plan. Once your account is set up (activated) you can move to the $19 plan so it's ready for the next payment date.

          The cards can be activated any time in the next 12 months?

          Read the last bullet point in the description.

          Or i can do the link above for 3 months.

          Yes that comment is a breakdown of how to use it for 3 months.

    Thanks. I assume for existing Belong customers you can only use this by porting out and porting back in (rather than using this to renew/add to existing credits)?

        ohh didnt even know that was a thing, its on now

    • cunningdrew on 08/11/2023 - 14:40

      Does it literally just add 100gb, or whatever plan, each month to your existing data stack? This is nice. When moving house or interstate on holiday etc, I tend to go over the 100gb with the family… however normal month it's less than 5gb as we have NBN at home.

      • sandman20104159 on 08/11/2023 - 14:55
        +3

        yeap, im on a 40gb plan and just adds whatever left over to the next month and so on, and now i am sitting on 1267gbs

        • cunningdrew on 08/11/2023 - 14:59

          Awesome. I am on NBN Belong and it's been surprisingly good, will switch mobile too.

            @cunningdrew: they dont have a call center so thats the only thing i dont like, if and when you have an issue its all chat and emails. but ive never had any issues in the 6 years ive been with them for.

        • WatchNerd on 08/11/2023 - 15:02

          Maybe drop down to the $19 if you have plenty of data & save some money.

              @sandman20104159: It's interesting. From what I can see, you just sit on the $55 plan for 3 months and get up half a terabyte, then sit back on the $19 or $29 plan. Am I missing something? Seems too good to be true.

                @cunningdrew: my plan is $40 for 40gbs, i started with them in 2016 and whatever unused from that 40gbs each month just adds to next the next months plus that months 40gbs. it just rolls over.

  • cunningdrew on 08/11/2023 - 14:39

    I am with Optus, but they recently told they are going to start charging $5 per month for my additional data-share sims. I've had 2 extra sims for my account for ten years sharing data, only reason I have stayed with them.

    I digress. Can I use Belong for my Apple Watch eSim?

    • Leho on 08/11/2023 - 16:59

      Nope

    • GregFiona on 08/11/2023 - 19:30

      Same here! The best part is that back in July-August I complained about the upcoming plan changes and they put me on a new plan $9 more expensive but they said the Data share cards would work just fine! Now, 2 months later they want to charge for them🤬🤬🤬🤬

      • cunningdrew on 08/11/2023 - 22:37

        They did the same to me. I believe they knew all along they were going to start billing our extra sims so changed the plans and terms and conditions so they could start charging for the additional data sims. So now we are here. And we're about to leave them. Oh well.

  • cunningdrew on 08/11/2023 - 14:41

    Can anyone advise… is $19 the smallest monthly amount? If so, how much data does that give? Thanks.

      • taoz on 09/11/2023 - 09:42

        I got an email.
        Just searched and its on the CIS pdf

        • SmiTTy on 09/11/2023 - 10:45

          Hmm this is from the cis on their website

          Gifting and banking data
          With your plan, you can:
          • Gift your data, in 1GB units, to another Belong mobile/data
          customer up to 5 times per month.
          • Bank any unused data at the end of the month.

          I read this as you can gift 5 times per month, in whole GBs. That is, it needs to be a round number and not half GBs for example.

          Is the wording you received different? And if so, was there an effective date for this change? (as there would be a discrepancy from many of their sources)

          • taoz on 09/11/2023 - 11:02

            @SmiTTy: Its always been whole gb i thought.

            The change is used to be unlimited sending,i think, now 5 per month.

  • Inori on 09/11/2023 - 01:42

    • SmiTTy on 09/11/2023 - 10:49

      I would assume ud need to port out and port back in to use the same number as it's not a recharge (it's a starter kit)

    I wish I looked into these deal before spending too much on a yearly boost mobile pack. Seems way better value. Get 100 gb every 3 months and just port to another provider inbetween times.

    • CyberMurning on 09/11/2023 - 17:15
      +1

      so total in a year you need to spend $17+$2 x 4 = $76, with porting every 3 months, the hassle to get the new sim, risk of porting issues and stresses
      why not just get coles mobile for $99 -60GB for a year and have free of mind ($20 more) ? unless 60GB a year is not enough ..

      • Ronnnie on 09/11/2023 - 18:01

        Telstra network vs Optus network.

      • allie2023 on 10/11/2023 - 10:47

        Thanks! I might be stupid here…the package says $45 100GB, so do I have to go for the 100GB plan, or I can go with lower plans, as you said the $29/mon plan? If I can go with lower plans, this product is literally $45 Belong credit for only $17. Am I correct? Thank you.

        • jay2datee on 14/11/2023 - 13:11

          Just activated mine. So for $17, you get $45 of credit, plus the $20 for the referral code. Because I activated on the $29 plan, I only get 25GB data

  • roofyapple on 10/11/2023 - 11:23

    What happens when you plan runs out and you haven’t switched to another provider? Does your number go back into the pool for reallocation?

    • CyberMurning on 10/11/2023 - 11:46

      yes. after certain time. check the t&c for each provider.
      i say one week is safe but yeah take the risk

      • WatchNerd on 10/11/2023 - 12:21

        The plan never runs out though. Money gets debited from your credit card every month unless you port out or cancel your account.

        • CyberMurning on 10/11/2023 - 15:12

          Oh sorry I was thinking the prepaid 1 month or 1 year from Kogan or boost

  • cpox10 on 10/11/2023 - 14:46

    Has anyone had any luck deleting their customer account after porting out?

    I notice when I port in, if I used the same email address previously, the system deems me as an existing user

    • Chris T on 11/11/2023 - 09:30

      Yes, when you port back to Belong you need to use a different email address to previously so it's seen as a new account. Otherwise you don't get any credit for using a referral code.

    • Chris T on 11/11/2023 - 09:35

      If you have a Gmail address then just use the Gmail dot trick.
