Link to Coles cattledog.

This can last 3 months if combined with $20 referral credit & activated on the $30 (25GB) plan. So $55 + $20 equals $75 credit.

1st month $30 (25GB) - 2nd month $21 (7GB) - 3rd month $21 (7GB) - Total $72

Once your account is set up you can move to the $21 (7GB) plan so it's ready for the next payment date.
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.

    Handy for sim sluts who want a break from porting every month / 28 days because this can last 3 months for $9 per month.

      Wasn't the Catch connect $109 for a year only $1 more expensive ?… $9 x 12 = $108 and no need to sim slut for a year.

        Some don't like buying 12 month plans. Also this offers the potential for more $20 referrals. If you manage to get a 2nd one then it's almost paid for itself and so on.

        Catch isn’t on Telstra network, I know here in Melbourne there are many suburbs where indoor reception esp for data is horrible on other networks, I get amazing 5g coverage outdoors from all of them but go inside and it drops out regularly for no apparent reason on anything but Telstra so I’m always willing to pay a premium for Belong/Boost/Aldi mobile offers
        WWs mobile also used to use Telstra but I haven’t used them for years so not sure if they still are or off there are any new MVNOs that use Telstra.
        It’s a real shame as there are some awesome offers that pop up on the Optus network esp

        • OMGJL on 11/01/2025 - 22:44

          I found Telstra MVNOs (tried Woolies/Belong) have quite a bit worse receptions compare to Boost on the train lines (esp. in tunnel), or deep in middle of a shopping center.

      • OMGJL on 11/01/2025 - 22:41

        you have a point, but this way it would get you much more data.

  • Harry Krishna on 11/01/2025 - 16:05

    Has anyone hit the 20 referral limit on belong?

      Not yet, I'm up to 8 since Jun '23. It says up to $200, so we'll see.

    • Clarky77 on 11/01/2025 - 17:38

      Yes you just need to port out and rejoin using a new email address and your referrals reset even if you keep the same number. It used to be 10x referrals limit, didn’t realise it had increased to 20 that’s pretty cool.

  • Mortin on 11/01/2025 - 16:19

    Can you get the referral if you were with Belong previously?

    • ballistykx on 11/01/2025 - 17:15

      Yes, with a new email address.

      • verden on 20/01/2025 - 09:36

        Can you use the same email address but with a " . " somewhere in it?

        • WatchNerd on 20/01/2025 - 09:39

          Yes that worked for me early last year with Gmail.

    • jimojr on 11/01/2025 - 17:18

      You need to use a new email address and a new payment method to sign up.

      • Mortin on 11/01/2025 - 17:44

        Thanks

      • ketchfizzle on 11/01/2025 - 21:49

        @jimojr can you point me to where it says you need a new payment method? Everyone else seems to say you just need a new email address

        • jimojr on 11/01/2025 - 23:25

          When I used the same credit card, I received the following message: "Something went wrong. Please try again." This issue has been occurring for many years.

  • dave78234 on 11/01/2025 - 16:33

    If you go for the $55 plan when you sign up. do you get the extra 80gb data straight away?

  • Chickfilo on 11/01/2025 - 17:51

    E-sim is still a no go on Belong, isn’t it?

    • Jarr0d on 11/01/2025 - 18:57

      Correct, says coming soon

  • Dealr on 11/01/2025 - 20:00

    The Officeworks in Perth CBD had a different packaging 'Big Gig Energy' design with the 160GB crossed out, 240GB for $55/month. Same $27 price.

    • TheLurker on 11/01/2025 - 22:51

      Coles I bought one at had a promo label over the sim cards saying the same thing. Searching the web found Finder.com.au saying that the extra data promo needs to be activated by 12-Jan-2024, so this deal may expire sooner than expected.

      I'm concerned that starting on a high plan with extra data then dropping plan will lose the 12mth bonus data on lower plans, but will deal with that if it happens.

  • Meteor Anarcom on 11/01/2025 - 20:51

    Can I port in from Telstra? I remember I've seen some rules about we can't port in within the same service provider. I don't remember the details though

    BTW, we can use GC to buy sim cards, right?

  • paloverde88 on 11/01/2025 - 21:06

    was going to say sim whore heaven

  • Dmebihet on 11/01/2025 - 21:36

    Can I use the sim dollar to use $15 data only plan mobile broadband

    • dave78234 on 11/01/2025 - 22:42

      Don't think do. These say 'mobile Sim' on the packaging. You'll need a 'data sim'

    • Vater Woods on 11/01/2025 - 23:18

      Yes, I did two on 1 Jan 2025, but remember to select to correct plan, in default, it will always select the most expensive plan.

  • kingmoron on 12/01/2025 - 01:32

    FYI I activated extra data just now (12/01) so may end midnight 12/01 ?

  • electrovisor on 12/01/2025 - 08:52

    Can these be added to existing/current Belong plans?

  • stickingly on 12/01/2025 - 09:24

    I have a stupid question
    If I just buy this and put it in a phone does it have an expiry, ie will it stop working after 28 days? Can't find this anywhere in the details

    • ItsSean on 12/01/2025 - 10:24

      you need to active it to use, expiry depends on the payment you made, expires around 1 month after you do not make the payment.
      SOS only without activation and put it in a phone.

      • stickingly on 12/01/2025 - 10:37

        Thanks for the reply. I understand I need to activate it.

        What I mean is if I put it in a phone and activate it and then don't make any more payments will it expire after a month, or will it last 3 months?

        • WatchNerd on 12/01/2025 - 10:41

          While this is prepaid it's ongoing. In other words during the activation process you're required to enter a credit card or paypal for future automatic payment every month. The only way to stop this is cancel your account which can be done via the app or contacting them or simply port out.

          If you want a sim with minimal ongoing costs I would suggest Amaysim PAYG plan.

          • mitty on 12/01/2025 - 11:54

            @WatchNerd: Belong is not prepaid. It's postpaid. It doesn't look like it is, but it is. You also get an account number and when you port out to another provider you have to input that account number for the port to work.

  • sween64 on 12/01/2025 - 09:37

    Can you use a Belong SIM in a Telstra wi-fi hotspot?

    • ItsSean on 12/01/2025 - 10:20
      +1

      most of the telstra mifi nowadays are unlocked, yes for those.
      some old 4g mifi which are locked to telstra, no. But you can contact telstra to get a unlock code.

      • sween64 on 12/01/2025 - 14:30

        I believe mine is still locked. It’s an MF910Y.

  • BluebirdV on 12/01/2025 - 10:12

    Can this be delivered for free with Onepass from either Cole's or Officeworks?

  • reddot12 on 12/01/2025 - 10:51

    I've been with Belong for over a year now and I have noticed a considerable drop in their reception over the last few months. Has anyone else noticed this? I live in Inner Brisbane and I need to constantly connect my phone on wifi at home with only 1-2 bars most of the time! Lame.

  • Anthonese on 12/01/2025 - 15:01

    Thanks OP, that sorts me out for the next 3 months. Plenty in stock at OW Newcastle

  • SleekDMC on 13/01/2025 - 10:47

    Seems like Belong didn't extend their double data for 12 months off, should have seen this on Sat/Sun probs could have got one, I thought this Sim was only on sale at jbhifi online.

  • simmos on 13/01/2025 - 14:17

    I don’t get the logic in one of the first posts:-

    Quote:
    So $55 + $20 equals $75 credit.

    1st month $30 (25GB) - 2nd month $21 (7GB) - 3rd month $21 (7GB) - Total $72 unquote.

    That’s $3 credit. How does this equate to $9/month for first three months, mentioned in a follow up post? Should it not be credit $1 per month for three months or am I missing something?

    • dlovep on 13/01/2025 - 17:23

      You paid $27 for a credit of $55 sim pack + referral bonus $20 that last 3 months.

      Likely ignore the remain credits as it will be cheaper to port out and port in again with the same pack but with different referral.

      If you top up to $21 for another month, you need to spend another $18 for that extra month.

  • ozbargaincheapo on 14/01/2025 - 23:17
