      Just wondering if it's better to get an upfront discount than wait for cashback which may take about 2-3 months? The difference is under $20. Then there's the 30 day activation rule for cashback which may not suit some people.

        Or be randomly denied with no explanation

      • Freddies on 14/08/2024 - 10:20

        I would do the $187 one because my plan only expires next year

      • sicaboy on 03/09/2024 - 08:27

        My suggestion is never trust Cashrewards.

    • Onemoredeal on 13/08/2024 - 19:05

      I bought the $187 but it doesn’t need to be activated for a year , which suits me, this is only 30 days

    • Freddies on 14/08/2024 - 10:20

      $17 cheaper, but you have to activate it within 30 days. So unless your current plan ends within 30 days, otherwise, it's not that good

  • scoaus on 13/08/2024 - 18:31

    Any idea what the expiry date of these would be, or best way to find out?

    • AH on 13/08/2024 - 18:48

      wouldnt matter - u gotta activate within 30 days

  • pennypincher98 on 13/08/2024 - 18:39

    Activate by 21 October 2024.

    SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering.

    So the first date provided isn't for the cashback on a deal about cashback?

      • sween64 on 13/08/2024 - 21:15
        +1

        No, the first date is for the bonus data. SIM expiry likely to be July or September 2025.

        • BargainsGrabber on 13/08/2024 - 21:28

          My bad, I misread the question

          • Freddies on 17/08/2024 - 12:40

            @BargainsGrabber: Doesn't really matter because you can't get cash back without activating in 30 days anyways

  • chongecse on 13/08/2024 - 19:59

    How good is Boost signal? I saw some comments saying that it's not as good as before.

    • cheekymonkey97 on 13/08/2024 - 20:02

      Using the full Telstra network is an outright lie I don’t care what anyone else says.

      • pennypincher98 on 13/08/2024 - 20:27
        -2

        It is technically true but pay attention to the wording.

        You'll see everywhere "Full Telstra Network". This is true, they utilise retail Telstra network coverage (not the wholesale that other MVNOs do) and you can get access to every tower that full Telstra does.

        But this is not the same thing as speed or signal strength. You may not get every band that tower offers. Traffic prioritisation happens (simplified example might be - EMS/Ent/…/Telstra/Boost/Wholesale).

        Think of it as business class telco where Telstra is first class (LOL) and wholesale is economy. It offers most of the bells and whistles for a cheaper price and for many people that is a worthwhile trade off.

        • cheekymonkey97 on 13/08/2024 - 21:04
          +2

          They need to be clear about this otherwise it's false advertising. Full means full.

            -1

            @cheekymonkey97: They do get full Telstra. But they get it sometimes slower and sometimes weaker, 99% of the time it's not really a noticeable difference unless you're benchmarking.

            • Quarter Pounder on 14/08/2024 - 10:55

              @pennypincher98:

              But they get it sometimes slower and sometimes weaker

              Are you able to elaborate on the weaker part - as per my previous comment telstra can't artifically weaken rsrp to a single UE.

              • pennypincher98 on 14/08/2024 - 13:25
                -1

                @Quarter Pounder: Okay signal strength might be the wrong term, "connection to the tower" could be a better one. No longer work in Telstra and tbh wasn't techy enough to fully understand when I did but there is a definite difference and this was pitched to us as a selling point.

                Like I said this isn't really a discernible difference for regular consumers 99% of the time - feel like you're making a mountain out of a molehill here.

    • Quarter Pounder on 13/08/2024 - 23:28
      +5

      Boost use the full telstra network. I can vouch for this. The only difference is the different app. One difference compared to telstra postpaid is no 5G Standalone access yet, which is the same for telstra prepaid.

      Are you able to share proof of boost sims being locked out of certain bands? I’ve connected to every band telstra uses, including b28/b26 (select regional areas currently)/b7/b3/b1/n5/n78/n258. The only band it can’t connect to currently is n7 which access is only available via 5G standalone on telstra postpaid.

      signal strength.

      Are you able to elaborate on how telstra can purposely weaken signal strength to a ue for a mvno user - they don’t use beamforming on their passive LTE panels?

          Now waiting for $50 cashback.

          My estimated approval is 90 days. 5 weeks more for me.

    I moved from Boost to amaysim but I have a 365 day $230 sim deal via cash rewards for new Boost customers.

    When i activate the Boost sim as a new customer , does it matter if i login to my old Boost account to make ID easier or do i need to make a whole new Boost account to qualify as a "new customer" to get my $40 cash rewards ?

    • nonpop on 14/08/2024 - 16:07

      If you are with Amaysim now and you port to Boost, you are 'new'. Even if using your old credentials. It is a 'new' service not a new-new customer (human) that matters.

  • cashless on 14/08/2024 - 16:11

    Looks like deal expires on 30th August. Maybe update your post OP

  • pc007 on 14/08/2024 - 18:48

    If someone is already on Boost, is it safe to join another network and come back to boost?

      I’ve done this twice, both times trying to port back in has required a message on Boost support chat to get the transfer back over the line.

    • nonpop on 15/08/2024 - 09:33
      +1

      We've done it many times. We do wait 1 day though just to ensure everyone's backend systems have done all their batch processing etc. And we always port around 9:15am on the new day.

    • powderbomber on 15/08/2024 - 11:38

      i had no trouble porting out and back in, all worked online without having to talk/chat to anyone. cashback has been a pain though, still waiting for it to be approved

      • pc007 on 15/08/2024 - 11:41

        My cash back is approved but it will take 95 days to be reflected to cash out.

    • pc007 on 15/08/2024 - 11:42

      I usually switch to Aldi and then back to boost. With Aldi sim, I wait for 5 days. But just because of someone facing the issue and posting it on Ozb, I was concerned.
      Anyway, ordered the sim. Let's see how it goes. :)

  • ahoyoid on 15/08/2024 - 15:41

    Looks like cashback wont work if you choose the eSim option?

  • letslightafire on 19/08/2024 - 15:48

    Does boost mobile support call forwarding as part of the unlimited calls and is this both to mobile/landline? How is the call forwarding activated?

    I just spent 40mins on live chat with Boost and I couldn't get a straight answer. I have used call forwarding with Boost a few years ago but unsure if they currently offer it.

    Thanks!

  • greenslade on 03/09/2024 - 10:50

    I'm a current customer with boost, interested in this deal for the savings vs monthly PAYG. I bought the $5 Aldi SIM but I'm not sure what order of steps to take. I don't want to stuff it up or lose my number!

    Could anyone confirm if this is correct?:

    1. Buy boost sim using cashback and the deal, and wait for it to be delivered
    2. Activate Aldi SIM and port my number over
      …Wait for a bit…
    3. Activate new boost sim
    4. Port number from Aldi back to boost
    5. Enjoy savings
      6 repeat when the annual SIM runs out

    Is this the right order? Or is there a step I'm missing?
    Any help from experienced folks would be greatly appreciated 🙂

      This is what I've done in the past (although not with aldi - have used lebara, belong and others) but the steps you've listed is basically correct (ie port out to another provider, wait a bit, port back).

  • isaiah247 on 04/09/2024 - 16:55

    After adding to cart and then checking out, it gives an error on the final page where you put in your credit card details: "Sorry something went wrong. We're sorry but we're experiencing technical issues. Please try again later." I phoned Boost who said it's a problem with Cashrewards so I've logged a ticket with CR.

    • rickb on 04/09/2024 - 19:16

    Tried again this morning, error, error, error. Switched to a different Visa case, it went through.
