    how's this compared to Kogan mobile (voda reseller)?

      This includes 5G which is better in my opinion

      • Spaldo on 11/03/2025 - 22:37

        They are actually heaps better than those days

        • powerful9990 on 11/03/2025 - 22:49

          But no way near to Telstra/Optus

          • Spaldo on 12/03/2025 - 15:02

            @powerful9990: The support is as bad as it gets, no doubt about it. But the coverage, for me in SEQ/NNSW it is better with Vodafone than Aldi (Telstra wholesale). I've got both SIM's

      • powerful9990 on 11/03/2025 - 22:49

        Bring on negs haters! mwahahaha

  • ussenterprize on 04/03/2025 - 10:39

    Thanks OP. Seems like a good deal. I am new to 365 day plans. How is the network coverage compared to Telstra? Is this a 5G option? How does roaming work for this plan?

    • ussenterprize on 04/03/2025 - 10:40

      is this esim?

      • citrusreduction on 04/03/2025 - 10:58

        Yes after activating the physical sim, you can do a sim swap on the app

    • kelssy11 on 04/03/2025 - 10:52
      +2

      No way near compare to Telstra/Boost around Adelaide. So many times people are trying to call me and it goes straight to VM, I have noticed this even with full bars. VF is shocking, need to lift up their game.

      • guidedlight on 04/03/2025 - 10:59
        +1

        Telstra/Boost limit speeds to 150mbps. Whereas Vodafone doesn’t.

        But I agree coverage is the problem with Vodafone.

        • ussenterprize on 04/03/2025 - 11:15

          Is it worse than Optus around Melbourne?

        • Wokstar on 05/03/2025 - 09:05

          But can you realistically exceed 150mbps on VF? In my experience in Melbourne, not possible.

        • FujinShu on 11/03/2025 - 20:33

          Only Boost limits speeds to 150mbps, likely as a differentiator to Telstra.

      • tunzafun001 on 04/03/2025 - 15:27

        Depends mate. Optus and Telstra are horrible down south.

    • omblygombly on 04/03/2025 - 12:00

      They now cover approximately 1,000,000 square km. Australia has over 7 300 000 square km.

    • itchy scratchy on 04/03/2025 - 13:53
      +1

      Network coverage is generally not as good as Telstra in rural/regional areas, but supposedly, they're now sharing their non-metro network with Optus, so it should be much better than it was before. I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

      Yes, it comes with uncapped speed 5G

      Roaming comes in the form of add-ons you can buy in the app, which are a ripoff IMO. Just buy a travel ESIM instead

    • Dr Phil on 05/03/2025 - 08:34

      Vodafone was terrible a few months back
      Absolutely hopeless outside metro areas.
      Take one trip out of town and you quickly found out.
      Dont know if this has changed but was good enogh reason to dump Kogan Mobile 3 years agao.

        Sadly, this offer expired yesterday

      • taki on 04/03/2025 - 11:17

        I got the $180 from their store yesterday (last day), but I'm thinking to return & go with this -15% TopCashback $127.5 (better than $140.62 proportional to extra data). Will switch $50-5 plan to non VF & activate this by 31/3 to save ~$34*12. Any better suggestions?

        • ussenterprize on 04/03/2025 - 12:06

          I saw up to 15% cashback for a few minutes after this was posted. I dont see any cashback offers for Vodafone on Topcashback.

      • keejoonc on 04/03/2025 - 12:09

        When did you make a purchase? I bought it yesterday afternoon and it tracked at $0.

      • fozzie on 04/03/2025 - 12:57

        I think you need to activate sim within 1 month?

    • ab c on 04/03/2025 - 11:37

      Apology: 'recent positive experience' means money-back claim(s) returnED to your bank account ?

    • keejoonc on 04/03/2025 - 12:02

      Not a great experience for me so far.
      I bought the $180 sim yesterday and TCB tracked at $0.
      Had to lodge a claim for incorrect tracking today.

      No, only postpaid plans and then attach a apple watch plan (looking at at least $49 a month)

  • kypermaster on 04/03/2025 - 12:25

    Just wanted to ask if the coverage is better than the Kogan one (said had Optus coverage as well?), and how is the connection around Sydney upper north shore around the national forests?

  • kypermaster on 04/03/2025 - 12:28

    Also wanted to ask if topcashback is compatible with the afterpay $30 off?

    • fozzie on 04/03/2025 - 12:58

      I don't see why not?

  • SlinkyDemille on 04/03/2025 - 12:30

    Will the 15% cashback rate remain until March when this deal ends?

    • Tiggrrrrr on 04/03/2025 - 13:11

    • Meteor Anarcom on 04/03/2025 - 13:41

      Sure, but you might lose the promotional data. It's 'might' though, sometimes the promotional data is still there after the promotional period.

    • Pilk on 13/03/2025 - 14:30

      I was assured today that you can buy it now and activate it later. The sim pack itself says so — it expires after 365 days.

      • timhn on 13/03/2025 - 14:35
        +1

        yes, bonus data for your first 3 charges and end on 31/03/2027. So as long you charge before that date.

  • Maxxjet on 04/03/2025 - 13:11
    +1

    The recharge is kind of useless to most ozbargainers right? it is a 12 month plan and who gonna use that much data and recharge at the full price? Or I am missing something? But having said that, even the stand alone value is good, with cash back and with Afterpay $30 off. Less than $9 a month for about 20GB data.

    • Tiggrrrrr on 04/03/2025 - 14:19

      Which cashback are you referring to?
      Also, won't afterpay code invalidate cashback?

    • kypermaster on 04/03/2025 - 19:11

      Does Voda phone accept after pay?

  • ndoan on 04/03/2025 - 13:53

  • Bargainsniffers on 04/03/2025 - 15:53

    I dont understand why oeople buy these 12 month plans. I use 100gb in a month. Wouldnt it work out cheaper to buy a smaller amount of data at a cgeaper price on a monthly basis?

    • ArnoldSchwarzenegger on 04/03/2025 - 16:13
      +3

      I think your case would be an exception, most people would not use 100GB in a month unless they were hotspotting at home and using it as their primary home internet.

    • kanu666 on 04/03/2025 - 16:16
      +2

      Because not everyone need 100gb per month.
      But also cheapest monthly plan is usually around $15 per month, which makes it total to $180. But with this price you would likely get something like 10Gb-15Gb per month

    • RaijnAU on 04/03/2025 - 18:48
      +3

      I used less than 100GB per year.

      I do between 1TB-2TB per month on my NBN FTTP connection.

    • Gavman on 04/03/2025 - 18:49

      Most ppl don’t use anywhere near that. Most time at home or at work on wifi etc. only use data commuting or when out. Obviously u don’t rely on wifi but I rekon ur not the norm

  • GoldCoastKim3984 on 04/03/2025 - 16:07

    Activate by when?

    • fozzie on 04/03/2025 - 22:16

      1 year. But if you want cashback with any of the cashback websites you must activate within one month.

  • Mijora1 on 04/03/2025 - 18:27

    whats the roaming options? i head overseas sometimes and need to get a call every now and again? im assuming I can use WiFi calling free for calls to and from Aus, but what about actual roaming? cant see it noted anywhere

    • Gavman on 04/03/2025 - 18:48

      Don’t bother. U can get roamless pay like $20 for like 10gb use overseas. Credit doesn’t expire.

      • Mijora1 on 05/03/2025 - 09:36

        thats what im asking Gavman whats the roaming cost and how does it work, I would need to have it for calls and text and data would be nice
        like they do $5 a day on postpaid can use your plan overseas?

  • Gavman on 04/03/2025 - 18:47

    So on the first purchase port in, do u get 150gb or 250gb. Or is just 250 when u rechage

    • gunsmith on 04/03/2025 - 19:19

      Want to know this as well.

      • fozzie on 04/03/2025 - 22:17

        250gb first 3 recharges

    • 3d3e3fae on 08/03/2025 - 09:11
      -2

      You only get 150GB - which is a bit misleading because they made it appear to be 250GB for $150, which it isn't. Only on the first 3 recharges which is unless for me because I use 10 GB per month.

      • pramki on 08/03/2025 - 14:28

        Is this right? Anyone else confirm please? If so, that is pretty shit.

        Coz it definitely advertised as
        Get a $250 Prepaid Plus Starter Pack for $150

        Get 250GB total data (150GB + 100GB Bonus Data) on your first 3 recharges made before 31/03/27 (activation counts as first recharge)

        • 3d3e3fae on 08/03/2025 - 22:29
          +2

          Actually that's what happened initially, it showed me I only had 150GB. But then later I checked again it shows 250GB. So yeah rest assured, activation counts as first recharge it just takes the system a few hours to include the bonus data.

          • dna level c on 27/03/2025 - 20:34

            @3d3e3fae: I just ported over and it's only showing the 150GB like you said.

            How long after initial activation did it take for the extra 100GB to show up?

            Thanks mate.

  • jdizzles on 04/03/2025 - 23:43

    Unless I’m interpreting this wrong, it costs $150 each time to recharge?

    • xsacha on 05/03/2025 - 03:12
      +1

      Pretty sure it would be $250 to recharge. The recharge refers to data.
      As a new one is always around $150, you should port every year instead.

  • Wardaddy on 05/03/2025 - 15:58

    Next day delivery of sim card.

    It says only available at VF retail stores. And no overseas calls.

  • woohuiman on 06/03/2025 - 23:33

    Not sure if this is a common Vodafail issue or just on this plan.

    I'm currently using this plan, and the reception is not ideal in certain populated SYD metro areas. E.g., if you are on the train between Strathfield and Redfern or Central and TH, the signal interrupts very badly.

  • 3d3e3fae on 10/03/2025 - 17:26

    About WIFI calling with this plan: I have noticed that WIFI calling is advertised but doesn't work in practice. If I switch to aeroplane mode but with WIFI on, I actually cannot make a call through WIFI. I got a voice message saying I don't have enough credits. Switching back to normal mode I can make calls etc so I do have enough credits. With exactly the same phone settings I could do this with Boost mobile previously. I double checked my settings and WIFI calling is still enabled.

  • timhn on 11/03/2025 - 13:40

  • LiMaaa on 15/03/2025 - 06:42

    $35 top back referral + $22.50 cashback makes this a steal. Thanks.

      What is the top back referral in this instance?

      • LiMaaa on 20/03/2025 - 03:30

        Topcashback referral stacks with $22.5 giving you $57.50 off when u refer someone to topcashback and they make a purchase.

  • AvidDealHunter on 28/03/2025 - 22:32

    Does this work if I’m already with Vodafone? I’m currently on this very same plan but due to expire soon.
