I've never used Woolies Mobile, but I think $29 off a $30 starter pack is good value. $2 delivery for SIM packs, maximum 2 packs per order.

Bonus: new activations before 30 June get 6GB data (normally 2GB + current bonus 1GB) — details here

According to their Coverage page Woolies "uses parts of Telstra's 4G and 3G mobile networks".

Finishes 31 May, thanks @Sydney and @Obey

Updated:
1. Deal end date
2. Online only
3. Delivery charge and max units per order
4. Added URL to how to get 6GB bonus
5. Clarifying 2GB data is normal for $30 recharge, additional 1GB data is a current bonus
6. Learning that I missed a lot of useful details!

The starter pack has to be activated within 3 months of purchase. thanks Sydney11

    I guess the expiry date on sim pack would be around Sep 2016, so they just say that.

  • slackme on 22/05/2016 - 10:26

      Coles have the Vodafone Prepaid WiFi modem with 4gb data for $29.00, these come unlocked.
      Also the Optus 3g usb modem for $9.00, not sure if it's unlocked.
      Last day is tomorrow.

  • dmac on 22/05/2016 - 10:43

    What do people usually do with these? Do you swap out of your current mobile plan for one month then swap back?

      Use the data in a spare phone or usb modem.

      You lose any current Aldimobile credit when you port out and will be a new customer to Aldimobile if you port back. Same as with any other telco.

    • WatchNerd on 22/05/2016 - 10:51

      Yes, they are unlocked but a bit complicated to change APN settings.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/05/2016 - 10:54

      Probably, you need to check if it works on the Telstra network ( I would imagine it does) also you might have to unlock it (maybe not though). If you do have to get an unlock code get the manufacturer + Model# and ask the Bagman to help(search OZB for contact) for a small fee .

    • retiredfeline on 22/05/2016 - 11:35

      You mean dual SIM phone. Sure, the phone should allow you to select the SIM for data and the SIM for calls separately. Even on a per call basis for mine at least.

      With online activation, you can use anyones's ID.
      They do not actually check to see you look like the photo, or even physically posses the ID.

      Its a pointless, total joke, but complies with gov't regulations.

      30 days to use the credit. Once Your Credit has expired, You will be able to use Your Prepaid Mobile Service to
      receive incoming Calls and text for the next 90 days only but You will not be able to make
      outgoing Calls, text or data sessions.
      This should be added to the description.

      • YellowKnight on 22/05/2016 - 14:37

        I just bought one. Immediately it looks like cheap build quality. But, it's the only phone or tab I've ever heard, with ok sound quality without headphones. Handy feature.
        Works ok for everything I've checked. Startup is slow.

      You will not get 4G unless very very lucky i think reading your post you are on the "old" woolies mobile via OPTUS
      i have that sim also and Optus will only move me to 4G IF i sign up to a newer more expensive prepaid plan.

      The old plan is 5GB Data 45 days yeah ? (29 dollars)

      Haven't recharged for a while but they sent me a txt saying i will qualify for spotify streaming if i recharge $30 next time.

      shush .. woolworths is listening

      • BargainKen on 23/05/2016 - 15:29

        nah i wouldnt say that, looks more like a publicity stunt, if anything it will get people talking about the service amidst the tough competition in the prepaid MVNO sector. I'm sure there'll be a fair few who stay on and recharge/use the service, and of course those who just take the one-time offer and run.

        If anyone bought a card for their relative/friend, I dont think their relative/friend would be savvy enough to hop carriers simply recharge the service in 30 days time. Considering all the other schmucks have gone to a 28day model, the woolies deal isnt too bad @ 30days + any rewards points you might get.

  • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2016 - 15:28
    +1

    Most would never have tried woollies mobile otherwise and some will stick with it, if only out of convenience, especially if they keep the special going like originally intended
    If they sign up 100 000 and a quarter recharge, that's a fair chunk of the market they scored in one go
    And if they do a better data deal they will get an even bigger share
    Economy of scale
    If woollies can just keep their greed in check
