    Is there a new mobile phone number given for each pack ordered?

    • tgame on 26/03/2016 - 19:19

      yes, it's a starter pack

    • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2016 - 02:04

      No.

      Unlike starter packs from Lebara and Telstra, Vodafone starter packs do not come with printed mobile numbers for each pack. With Vodafone, you will only receive a new number (or be given the chance to transfer a number) at the time of starter pack activation and identity verification.

      if you activate the sim card after 31/5, youll get 4gb data only unless vodafone extends this offer

      • czking on 27/03/2016 - 14:32

      ya i did that when i moved in. lived off sims for 6 months lol
      when u run out just chuck it and activate another one. telstra is the hardest in my opinion, for some reason you cant have more than 1 sim under your name. if you try activating more than 1 telstra service under your name within 2-3 days, theyll deactivate it.

      with optus or voda, no issue as such

  • giles on 26/03/2016 - 20:19

    Note — this is a combination mini SIM / micro SIM. If you need a nano SIM, the seller appears to offer a cutting service for $1 extra.

    Hi, is there any chance you could ship these to New Zealand?

    • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2016 - 01:56

      The OP might be able to do that, though unlikely, but please keep in mind that:

      • you will not be able to activate this in NZ,
      • the cost of this product, along with the additional postage charges, would make this a very unattractive proposition, and
      • as this is a prepaid service, it is not eligible for free roaming in NZ.
      • Findmebargain on 27/03/2016 - 08:25

        Would this pack be suitable for a tourist who is planning to visit Australia and wanting to be able to use the sim the moment they landed? Hence a possible question to OP if this could be delivered to overseas?

        • imcold on 27/03/2016 - 10:31

          Not sure if you would have the required identification to activate such a product. But any resident could activate the sim for the tourist if you had the VCode and temporary pin.

          I've never had issues with activation. If you complete the process the sim will be activated in 15 min.

          Unlike Telstra which has failed 50% of the time. Got told to wait 24 hours then was told it failed and to activate manually via call center.

        • whooah1979 on 27/03/2016 - 10:51

          i can't see why an overseas passport (70 pts), driver licence (25 pts) and a cc (25 pts) would be refused during an activation.

  • guo-au on 26/03/2016 - 22:44

    Does "No expiry" means this starter pack is always sold for $12.5 at Phonebot?

    • cloudie9 on 26/03/2016 - 22:51

      It means Vodafone starter pack never expires.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2016 - 23:03

      Vodafone starter packs do not have an expiry date. That's probably what the OP meant.

    Is the network 4G speeds? I bought Lebara but I think it's only 3G, such a bummer.

    • 4agte on 27/03/2016 - 01:47

      Where available

    • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2016 - 01:49

      Lebara (similar to Kogan Mobile) is intentionally limited to Vodafone 3G, because both providers use a part of Vodafone's network.

      This is a Vodafone starter pack, and therefore would connect to the entire Vodafone network including 4G, subject to the capabilities of your handset and network availability in your areas of use.

      To check 4G availability in your area, Google "Vodafone coverage check".

      How's the 'abuse' any different? You're still only using a single service at a time.

      Why should I play $30-50 when I can pay $10-12.50? Am I also horrible for buying a phone outright rather than on a plan? Because I'm not feeding my money into my Telco?

    • TheGMan on 27/03/2016 - 10:35

      I can answer yes to all of those questions. Vodafone is rather nice

    • dan76n on 27/03/2016 - 13:52

      I think you will find that it's a very small minority that acutely port month to month. The telcos would be fully aware of it but have yet to come up with a way to stop it without having a negative effect on themselves.
      It's really no different to taking advantage of the 55 days interest free credit cards offer.
      If every customer was frugal enough to get the best out of these deal they would stop it in a flash but luckily for the minority that port monthly or never pay interest on their credit cards there's plenty out there paying around $100 per month for phone calls and data and paying off credit card debts at high interest rates.

        Telcos are selling services for which they have already recouped the costs long long time ago. Even at this price, surely voda's winning. With economies of scale, voda's cost with printing packaging and distributing would be way way low (approx $2-$3). On top of that, surely theyll have ratios and averages on how many activated services get recharged. Even if its 10%, thats 10% added revenue for selling a service which is already been paid for (not accounting for employee wages ofcourse).

        Judging from the following article, telcos do no make 'enough' money or what they would have desired. 9% net revenue growth for Optus's previous qtr sounds good to me but not to Mr.Allan lew.
