GOOGLE $20 FOR $16 (http://www.phonebot.com.au/Google-Play-Credit-Voucher)
sim doesnt expire.
the offer (4gb bonus) expires if you activate after 31 may 2015
am not sure what you are referring to
probably means what happens after 28 days…
It's prepaid, so subscribers would lose calls and data unless they paid for another month of vodafone at the going rate
Yep that's what Im asking, can I switch over to their SIM Only Post Paid plans.
yep, on the 29th day you just fork over some cash to voda and go again… or port out ;)
@battler:
just remember with prepaid
its 28 days not a full month
365/28= 13.03
so you effectively paying 13 time a year…what you pay depends on what specials you pick up
so buy bulk on discount when you can
28 days expiry is a scam. It should be on a per month basis. Recommend joining virgin for $40 unlimited 10gb month to month. 2 days left to join.
Optus has now introduced 30 and 28 day plans. The 30 day plans have less allowances than the 28 day plans.
365/28= 13.03
so you effectively paying 13 time a year…what you pay
i was wondering is it the same for those postplan with mobile(iphone-s5/s5/note…ect)?
Yet again "scam" being thrown around too casually.
I know what you're trying to say, but it's really not a scam. It's clear that it's 28 days. It's not like they're telling you it's a monthly one, only to give you 1-3 days less (depending on month).
And, in addition, at this price I would hardly call it a scam. Bloody good price I would say. I almost feel like we're scamming them lol.
So it's already expired? 2015 was last year :)
The offers over and above the minimum allowances may have lapsed, but not the SIM card itself.
sim doesnt expire.
that's only thing i really cared about…needed couple of voda starter pack so i can keep the number for rest of the year..
Rep. Could this go into Vodafone portable wifi device for data only?
yah iv used at home. works fine in wifi device
I imagine in either a 3G or 4G device? Just that we have both as spares now. We converted to nbn at home now (100GB for $45 with Belong), but 8GB would certainly be handy for travelling.
Ps. Re selected countries. Is Samoa included in the selected countries? (A list rather than a map would have been better from Vodafone).
Also, is the 8GB good for calling from selected countries?
Found "View Selected Countries" under the map on link. Answer to my second question; No, calls to Samoa is not included.
How long do these take to arrive approximately?
It took ages for me. Once emailed, replied that we expect late delivery!
Thanks for the pm re: delivery
so is this just a starter pack or can i buy a bunch of them and use them to 'recharge' my initial subscription?
cant use as r/c. its like buying a printer at special that comes with the ink. when you run out ink, you need to buy it or just buy a new printer, if you know what i mean
sorry its a shit example. but i hope you get it.
I don't get it
Dude you need to polish up on your store rep etiquette?
@Bluewhisky:
lol wait why?? He admitted it was a crap example and didn't "fight" the neg as some would.
You can't use these as recharges. You must port out of Vodafone then port back in to use subsequent starter packs.
Vodafone can transfer credit from one SIM to another at a reps discretion if that SIM is being deactivated. There wouldn't be any recharge bonus associated with that.
8 GB for $12
Not bad
Word on the street is the Vodafone network isn't too bad these days.
What street are you walking on?
Does the "international minutes" include international mobiles or just land lines?
mobiles
Both.
Not all countries are included though. I learnt that the hard way on my similar postpaid plan.
Vodafone the best in my area craps all over telstra and optus. No dropouts as the two aforementioned have and with no expiry on the sims-whooompa!
agree, but sshh, don't tell everyone else.
Same here. Optus is poor over here….
Does it include mobile phone calls to the Philippines?
I would also like to know that.
Yes, includes Philippines.
You might want to consider Globe Dou if calling Philippines

$US10 for 30 days until April 30th 2016
Gives you a local Australian number for unlimited calls to your selected Globe Number for 30 days.
tempting. but is says "No expiry" and then it says "credit lasts for 28 days once sim is activated". what's that mean? tnx
Means there's no expiry on activating the sim. Once it is activated however, you have 28 days before it runs out.
The inactivate sim card has no expiry. Upon activation, your credit will last 28 days.
can these be used for the NZ roaming? or is that post paid only?
Post paid only.
Rep,Delivery times? Post code 3040.
$1.5 a gigabyte/unli oz. decent ratio. Arrived in 1 week by standard post last time.
+46c per GB - reward for VoIP users switched on $40*365 Day [$3] dataday.
So does this mean I get the full package 8GB + the rest for eff. $12 a month until I cancel ?
these are a fairly discrete package by intention; n/a recurring billing no.
$15 shipping cost to Sydney? Kill this deal.
free postage as in title
Thanks.I didn't notice is "Shipped".
I bought the same deal $12.40 last month…will wait for further drop in next month :P
Ok. Thanks for letting us know.
Hi Rep, what should I put on 'Company ID' and 'Tax ID' if I don't have one?
Can't you leave those fields blank?
Yes. Or, be adventurous and leave it blank and see if it works.
Yes it works without that information.
i need to stack these…what's the sims expire date? i heard that with vodafone starter pack doesn't have expire date.
You can't stack these. You must port out of Vodafone then port back in to use subsequent starter packs.
im aware of that and want to correct myself buying bulk of these…got bunch of optus pack and need voda starter kit to keep my phone number. port out-port in like Ozbargain way…
Awesome deal!!
Nice.. thx
Is it available in store or is it just online?
ordered two, thanks
Wait, how long do I have to use up the 8 gigs? 28 days from activation?
If memory serves it was voda who pioneered the lunar month. If you desire to get 13 cycles then have them change this over to long life. ( 26-4Gb)
You could also call it the feminine month…
Are Voda willing to activate these on the cap plan?
No secure checkout. No deal.
What's wrong with PayPal?
Well before paypal you enter pretty generic information, the same you would probably provide to any random competition on here. Whether its https I hardly care.
And there are always prepaid credit cards for those concerned with any security issue.
Can I do port-in to vodafone from amaysim and keep my existing number with this one?
Yes. Porting between any career to any other is allowed in Australia.
Is there an end date to this offer or whenever sold out?
When you activate SIM do you have to give credit card details? And when the 28 days expires do you activate new SIM and port number?
Is that right?
do u need to enter credit card details for activation?
I think you could get away with a top up code that you can buy (cash) from supermarkets etc. Or do as I have done and use a prepaid credit card.
Store Rep (eroorfree): confirm please?
See in the headline how it said '$40 Sim,' '8GB,' '90min' .. these were signs that it's not a Sim of the $2 variety otherwise requiring recharge or credentials for postpaid. You don't even give Phonebot your credentials thanks to processed PayPal payment, and viz a viz Vodafone= no commitment.
What happens after the 28 days? would my number be disconnected? I am planning a trip overseas so dont want to top up the prepaid card till I come back a few weeks later, having said that I still want to have a number while away.
Sim will take one year to be deactivated from last top up (or initual activation).
Since htis is prepaid can i assume no lock in contract? i.e. can I use and dispose.. 8gb for $12 is fantastic..
correct
Ordered 4 pack to cover this year, thinking of getting few more of Voda to cover next year…Port to Voda on March and April Port back in with Optus.
True OzBargain style!
FYI This deal hasn't expired…
Still going.
It arrived today, on the skip cover it says 3GB, but the inside says 2GB?
How long did it take?
I'd say I bought it on the 9th when the deal was posted, opened the mail on the weekend, so it would have came by Friday 12th. Same week, unlike Boost delivery rejected.
Got mine today too. it says 3GB/2GB as per yours anastasia, but I get 8GB and $40 credit when activated.
Thanks Phonebot, the four of these will get me through until FTTN NBN is installed.
awesome!
What happens after it expires? Do we/can we swap to their normal SIM only plans?
