    Been really happy with Kogan. Almost everyone in my family is with them now!

    • illumination on 21/08/2017 - 16:48

      Hijacking to share something important.

      I've also had great experiences with Kogan and value-wise from a non-SIM slutting point of view, they are great. Kogan Mobile is great for local use in Australia.

      However, they do not offer international roaming.

      This mainly matters for those who need their own number for work/business, and for those that need to receive SMS codes for internet banking. This has affected me before when using Citibank (Citibank Plus, guys?) as my app wasn't working properly and it needed to send me an SMS.. but guess what? I couldn't receive it because I was on Kogan =/

      Otherwise, this is fantastic value.

      • So Was Red on 21/08/2017 - 17:13

        Kogan deal-breaker for me was no missed call alerts. Can you confirm? Has anyone tried to call your fam when you/they have been out of coverage and not left a message? Apparently in this case you get no notification of the call whatsoever.
        Was with Amaysim and was angery to find this service was opt-in after being 'unreachable' for several days when I was mostly just at home with bad reception.

        • tajid on 21/08/2017 - 17:19

          I do get notification and a voicemail if left.

        • So Was Red on 21/08/2017 - 17:28

          @tajid: SMS alert or just handset notification? I'm talking about no reception, call doesn't come through, no voicemail left and you just never even know someone tried calling.

          @Hirolol: Its also fairly untrue, telstra has the best coverage in australia. I still have numerous dropouts and iffy service in the suburbs and city especially when in buildings. Id hands down choose telstra if I was a regional customer but for big city dwellers like most of us, other carriers are worth looking at.

          last time I was with kogan on the Telstra network they got shutdown

        Hi not sure if this will help… but by allowing fingerprint access in Citibank app you don't need to receive SMS codes even if you are making mobile banking overseas. This always works on my iPhone, not sure about Android :)

        • smy on 21/08/2017 - 20:07

          This would definitely be helpful! Can you please confirm which Citibank app I should download? There are so many when I search 'Citibank' - Citibank Australia, Citi Mobile, Citi Pay Australia…

        • GeneralKeen on 21/08/2017 - 21:45

          The standard Citibank app able to generate a token, replacing the text token.

          @onomatopoeia: Once you swap SIM cards out though, the app wants you to re-authenticate. I went overseas, swapped SIM cards thinking I could still use the app. Wouldn't let me. Tried to log in on my PC to change the mobile number to my new overseas one… it wouldn't let me… because I still had my Aus number on there, and it was sending an SMS code to that one. Pain in the arse.

          Anyway, I've learnt my lesson. Generate an offline code before going overseas.

        Think I mentioned this on a previous post, but to get around this I left my kogan sim in an old phone at home, with Pushbullet installed.

        With WiFi access and Pushbullet on my phone overseas, I was able to to receive and send sms from my kogan number back home.

        • eug on 22/08/2017 - 15:11

          With WiFi access and Pushbullet on my phone overseas, I was able to to receive and send sms from my kogan number back home.

          I found Pushbullet a bit expensive, so I switched to Join.

        • bamzero on 22/08/2017 - 15:16

          @eug:

          I'm still using Pushbullet free which is doing everything I need, but will check it out. Do miss being able to action notifications from my desktop if it can do that.

      • mrhatken on 22/08/2017 - 09:44
        +3

        Yes, I had this problem too but it seems most banks (Citibank, CBA, ANZ?) are moving to notification based messaging rather than SMS. Notifications, I believe work whenever you have Internet access on your phone independent of carrier. So when we are overseas we will use an overseas SIM for calls and data and receive banking messages through notifications. As someone else mentioned, the Citibank app can locally generate tokens for two-factor authentication (like the dedicated devices some banks give you).

      • oneacc on 24/08/2017 - 22:24
        +2

        @illumination There's an option within the Citibank AU app to set up OTP (One Time Pin) which gives you the pin which you need for banking usually sent via SMS.

        This option doesn't require internet, I used it when I travelled to the US a few weeks ago.

        • illumination on 07/09/2017 - 10:36

          Sorry forgot to reply to this.

          I'm aware of this but I hadn't had it set up yet at the time. Yes, the solution could've (should've?) been set it up before I left Australia, but having roaming as a "backup" would've been handy.

      You just can't use mobile data anymore until new month starts or you can recharge your data.

    • simsim32 on 21/08/2017 - 16:20
      +1

      This was an official reply when I emailed them to ask. I too was curious:

      "You can purchase additional data at any time with our DATA PACK for $14.90. Your DATA PACK will be valid for 30 days, or until your allocation of data has exhausted.

      You can even add it onto your existing Kogan Mobile Prepaid Plan to top up your data as often as you like. The DATA PACK can be purchased as a stand-alone plan or as a Data Add ons.

      DATA PACK includes:
      · 2GB of data to use within Australia valid for a 30 day period.

      · Unused data expires on next recharge or expiry date, whichever is earlier.

      · Minimum charge is $14.90 for DATA PACK"

      • dan76n on 21/08/2017 - 21:28

        Unused data expires on next recharge or expiry date, whichever is earlier.

        I'd used my 14gb with about 5 days until recharge so grabbed the data pack and noticed it carried over for me into the new month which was handy.

        • highdealer on 21/08/2017 - 22:27

          I think every new 30 days on the 1 year or 90 day plan doesn't count as a recharge, so that may be why it carried over, so it will just expire at the expiry date.

        How does the 4G coverage and speeds in Metro compare to the likes of Optus 4G+ and Telstra's 4GX ??

        Vodafone used to suck in terms of coverage, have they caught up?
        I know Optus and Telstra combine two 4G frequencies to "double the speed", is Vodafone doing this yet?

        Thanks in advance!

        Expensive tho - $14.90 per month and you consume this as credit

        At 55c per text message you would only send 27 overseas texts per month (less than 1 per day) before using up the credit.

    • BadGiraffe on 04/09/2017 - 09:12

      From their website: "Stay connected with family and friends overseas
      International calls and text are so last decade. On Kogan Mobile you’ll have heaps of blistering fast 4G data to WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, FaceTime and send high-res photos to family and friends overseas."

      Last decade? The call quality on some of those services aren't as good as a regular phone call.

      • eug on 04/09/2017 - 09:17

        Maybe they're referring to high-res photos and video chats.

      Optus reseller are not much better in Sydney, i tried Amaysim when they had the cashback offer in June, reception was not much better. Most of the time i could only get 3G.

      They are both usable since i use wifi most of the time. The only network that i had really good reception on was Telstra but they are really expensive. Aldi mobile might be good as they are a Telstra reseller but most of the time reseller doesn't have the same coverage as the main network.

      • suaveswerve on 23/08/2017 - 10:35

        Interesting. I've been on Amaysim for a while now and have been looking to switch off because there are similar plans for cheaper prices. But in regards to the Amaysim reception in Sydney, I've had no complaints and I get very strong 4G signals. In fact the reason I'm looking to move off is because I use my phone data as a hotspot because it is infinitely faster than the wifi at home.

        I'm tempted by this deal, but not sure whether the Vodafone network is as good as Optus'.

    Went from Vaya to Kogan, 1.5 GB to 5GB for around the same price. Very happy, no issues.

    Sorry, I'm using vodafone right now, how can I port into Kogan? And if I chose, for example, the $16.90 per month, do I have to pay any extra monthly for vodafone? Thank you.

      What do you mean by pay extra monthly for voda?

      You can port out once you get Kogan sim card. It will come with very clear instructions how to activate/port your number.
