If you have ebay+ it's slightly cheaper with $20 off on your ebay store ( $185.50)
Is the $20 off targeted? Don't have that for my account.
Link lists a price of $205.75
If you are an abay plus member, you might see the discount when you check out
I'm an ebay Plus member and I don't see it…
Pricebeat this at officeworks to get 5% off. So $178.5
I've tried that in the past and OW call centre staff denied saying they have been told by management to not match the price with Lucky Mobile. I was not so lucky there.
Tried calling up just now, was like a 15min wait but yeah. Staff member said company said it has to do with the expiry date on the card so can't match Luckymobile.
Best bet is in store. Worked for me a few weeks back.
eBay Plus member also, all I've got is a $5 off the $205.75.
Few days ago, had a chat with Boost online, they offered to buy $230 from their website and once activated, they will refund $50 to me. Will activate tomorrow as my current plan expires tomorrow with amaysim and have chat with them for refund.
Hope you have a copy of the chat.
did a pricebeat at Officeworks yesterday at lucky mobiles price yesterday of $190. they pricebeat with no issues
Match price sim? What sorry?
They said "price beat" (less 5%) hence got it for $178.50 at Officeworks.
oztechbiz….50cents more, longer Sim Expiry date 08-09-2025 ..excellent customer service…https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/860735
Sim expiry has been updated on the oztechbiz offer to 06-01-2025. No longer 08-09-2025.
Dann would’ve bought this if expiry was 8-9-2025!
likewise. was looking at one for this year, and the renew (port-out-in) in 12 months.
anyway, maybe more come available with the longer expiry!
How does this work if I’m already on boost?
You would need to port out, then port back in. A bit of hassle to make those savings.
and you risk the chance of delays or something stuffing up either in or out of the port and giving you a headache
The port was pretty straight forward from boost or something else and then port back.
How long do you have to port out for normally?
No time. I port back immediately after the port is successful.
Did that, and they recognized I was a past customer. Had to answer lots of questions to verify myself and proceed.
EDIT: Made me call them to verify again.
Like the others said would need to port to another provider and back in. Did this last year was lucky and ported out then back in within 20mins, used a $5 ALDI prepaid.
Wouldn't recommend with any $2 Sim packs, you'd either have to go in store or it forces you to add a recharge if you try online (at least the last times I tried with Telstra/Optus/Voda).
This is the way. Made the $2 mistake before.
Yeah I learnt the hard way with the $2 sim the boost number port over to Optus but wasn’t activated until you recharge lol… $12 recharge later ported back to boost sigh
I'm already in this plan, expiring in Feb 2025. If I were to buy this, would this work?
Provided I port out and port in before?
Going by OP sim expiry is 06/01/2025.
So you would have to port out to another provider say 2nd of Jan and then port back to boost (to this sim) say 4th if Jan
Awesome! Thanks!
The $230 for 12 months sim or recharge is being discontinued as of 22 Oct however if you buy it before then you can still redeem later at that value. Source is my current customer app popup FAQs. I hope this helps. Pasted below:
“I bought a SIM kit or voucher before 22 October 2024. Can I activate it after 22 October 2024?
Yes, you will be able to redeem all SIMs and vouchers purchased before 22 October 2024 for the value at which you purchased them.”
This is not very different from Boost Mobile website, as there is $40 Cashback on this plan, which will make it $190.
Few days ago, had a chat with Boost online, they offered to buy $230 from their website and once activated, they will refund $50 to me. Will activate tomorrow as my current plan expires tomorrow with amaysim and have chat with them for refund.
The "SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering" clause for cashback is a bit of an issue though…
A lot of people buying these sims would be getting them to dodge the impending demise of this plan… (I'll be grabbing one soon to activate next April)
Damn, I paid $210 for the one I got from Amazon
