I bought the 3 month $20 plan as a new catch customer to wait for this deal now I realise it's new customers only woops! Reckon they will offer this to me when my 3 months comes to a close?
I doubt it, they'll just expect you to recharge the 90 day plan at the normal price. So it's best to port out & back again.
Is this the cheapest 365 day unlimited call prepaid you can get right now?
No.
Get an amaysim $40 pack for $15 or so when it’s on sale from colesworths. Activate as payg, then change to $60/year unlimited call and text. Pay the $20 shortfall with Prezzee gift card. Note this does not come with any data.
how much is the data?
If you do not have data stored in your data bank, exceed your plan’s included data and want to continue using data, you can choose to add a data top-up ($10/1GB). Data top-ups you choose to add, will be added to your plan’s pool of data and expire at the same time as your plan.

Damn that's crazy cheap. Bit of a ball ache though and the no data thing…
It’s perfect for a primary number, you then have a second sim for the occasional use if you aren’t always covered by wifi. If we aren’t able to crack the something went wrong error as a community, obviously this won’t work so well.
I’ve had terrible experience with amaysim mobile data since the Optus data breach, wouldn’t use it if they paid me. Imagine dropping out in the middle of a zoom call and couldn’t get back for 30 minutes, had to basically make the session for free to retain the client.
@Alley Cat: Also the boost deals seem to be waning. I just started using them for the 5g data as second sim, fantastic.
Says activate within 90/30 days, anyone know which it is?
The reality is, as much as we'd like to think otherwise, it's gonna be 30. All these ones are 30, it's always 30, i got one with them recently and it was 30 - so i think it's safe to assume that's what it is.
You're right.
They actually updated the page and it says 30 days now instead of 90 in the first paragraph. Looks like it was a typo, it also said $20 instead of $89 before.
I got one mid last year and just activated it the other day with no issues. I think the only concern past 30 days is that the data inclusion may be reduced if its advertised with extra data.
You can activate later no problem, double check with support on chat.
can I buy this to activate later in the year?
Thanks OP! Im confused by the activation date, does anyone know the activation by date?
Found that, 90 days
but it also says 30 days below and states whichever is earlier. Very confusing.
Pity they dont do eSim. Good price and ill probably get it but need to get something urgently until this SIM will arrive.
"You must activate your chosen prepaid plan on catchconnect.com.au or on the Catch Connect App within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised on the promotion (whichever is earlier). Additionally, you must activate your Catch Connect SIM card within 24 months of purchase, otherwise the SIM card will be cancelled and any credit associated with it will be forfeited."
30 days? 90 days? 24 months?
Looks like there's a bit missing from the online T&Cs which is present on the page that comes with the SIM.
The 30 days is the date you must activate by if you want to get the advertised inclusions. Beyond that they might change the amount of data etc.
The 24 months is the hard deadline after which the SIM won't activate at all.
Most likely means if there are any bonuses when you buy they might not be included after 30 days, however the sim will still activate up until 12 months.
I could be wrong though.
I believe you are correct. This is my understanding also.
Can’t find this in catch
Mine says this event is not available at the moment
any eSIM deals?
Look for Boost as they now offer eSIM.
Does the data roll over year to year?
Unfortunately not.
can i use this sim as 4G backup sim (with its 60GB data) for my NBN modem/USB modem?
* looking for cheapest option 365 sim for my NBN modem as 4G backup Sim, dont need a lot data, just for the 365 long period convenience rather than have to activate the monthly sim card during downtime/emergency, can be a pain in the ass sometime
thanks in advance
I can't guarantee it but I've used Catch 90 day sims in USB modems all the time & they work fine.
Does anyone know if it works for porting a new number from coles mobile also (optus reseller)? Terms says new customer.
Yes it works. You'll be a new customer of Catch Connect. I keep moving Coles Mobile to Catch Connect to Amaysim and I'm 'new' each time.
Yep, I've had no issues porting in an out to a number of 'Optus' providers.
This is not a purchase from Catchconnect but through Catch directly. Does that mean we can purchase using catch giftcard with a few % off on payments?
Doh, that was quick. Was just about to buy but already expired. Will check out the Amaysim SIM deal if its still available. I think vodafone SIMs are now on sale.
For those that missed out this is a good alternative because it has 120GB for only $30 more -
Catch Connect 365 Day 120GB SIM Only Plan $119 Delivered (New Customers Only) @ Finder
Or this Voda deal -
5 days since ordering and still hasn't shipped. Anyone who ordered got theirs?
Mine is still stuck also. Need them to arrive before the 26th to avoid paying another month.
Status on my order has changed to processing today.
Strangely mine has changed to Ordered 2 hrs ago. No idea what that means.
Mine has now been delayed. So annoying. Would have been nice if them to advise that they had gone on backorder.
Also got an email delayed for a few days. Status is still processing.
How does delayed delivery affect the activation within 30 days. 30 days from date of purchase might only be 15 days from receiving it?
still delay
Mine arrived today.
existing customers always get this deal 1 month before expiry too.
