Guys

Looks like Woolworths mobile fixed their system issues and it's now our task to test it.

Same as previous deal. Just that there is a limit of 1 pack per customer instead of 2.

update 9/6: seems Woolworths Rewards card now required in-store with limit of one per account

Update 11:25am: snappy1234 has reported the $1 sim card being available in store also. Check with your local store.

EDIT:
I have cancelled all the 4 orders($12) I placed early this morning via online chat.

Can confirm that it is $1 in store as well (Town Hall, Sydney).
Expiry date on the pack is 01/08/2017.

Limit of 5 per customer.

Proof: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/137114/40038/img-20160…

I managed to get 9 (went twice and luckily, the guy who served me initially was not there in the counter)

    Got some with expiry 12/2017. I guess I wont need a plan for awhile.
    What's the best way to port out of the Woolworths card and then port back in to use my starter packs?

    Just went to grab some at Armadale WA store. Younger female at counter very friendly gave as many as I liked. An older gentleman saw me asking over the counter and said ill get some too if you leave me some. I laughed and said 'ozbargain?' He clearly wasn't one of us because he said 'yeah what a bargain'…

    I got 7 and he must have grabbed 5 himself.. still some left I might grab more tomorrow.

      These are not gift cards credit is already loaded onto the card.

      If they weren't valuable they would be kept on the shelf next to the gift cards and not locked at the front

  • Tasmaniac on 08/06/2016 - 21:48

    Apparently some guy has gone all around the Hobart stores and bought them all. Still managed to get a few but it seems I could of got about 50 if I didn't leave it until closing time.

  • byo on 08/06/2016 - 22:11

    Is it possible to port out from Woolies mobile to a different carrier and back to Woolies straight away?

    • Limitless on 08/06/2016 - 22:15

      Yes but i wouldn't say "straight away" porting takes time depending on your carrier. From experience Vodafone is a bit touch and go i would get free optus sims from the coles express deals if i were you but i prefer to use a different carrier each month for convenience

      • byo on 08/06/2016 - 22:23

        Thanks for your info. My current Woolies sim expires in 20 days and hope to activate another woolies sim before June 30 to get double data.

    • lgacb08 on 08/06/2016 - 22:25

      telstra and optus porting usually takes less than 1 hour on normal day, vodafone is hopeless, sometimes take next business day to process.

      • hal9000 on 09/06/2016 - 08:30

        naw. vodafail usually port in just under 2 hours for me. telstra took longer.

        • lgacb08 on 09/06/2016 - 15:33

          try porting after hour or weekend, vodafail will not process it until 10am next business day, on the other hand, Optus and Telstra still do porting until late, at least until 8-9pm (not on a Sunday I think).

        • Limitless on 09/06/2016 - 15:40

          @lgacb08: 10am next business day! you got lucky! I didn't get ported until 3pm and that was only after I went on the online chat to ask if they could do it.

          @lkp: yea the thing with telstra (and boost) is their online porting always fail, you have to chat em up to get it activated. such a nuisance.

        I ported from Amaysim to Vodafone on Tuesday, it took 10 mins.

    • lomie on 09/06/2016 - 12:24

      Just be aware that porting may not work on weekends for some providers. So time your activation carefully. Got caught out once. spent a Sunday without coverage.

      Or possibly this is a tax write off that woolies is profiting off.

    Went with some friends and purchased every last sim at our local woolies as they opened this morning. The cashier needed to confirm with the manager that we could purchase more than 1 per person. The manager came out and congratulated us confirming we can purchase 5 per person. Afterwards, we went to Coles Express and purchased a majority of their $10 start kits for $1. The cashier there said there was no limit per person.

    The look on the cashiers face when she buzzed up about a thousand dollars on the register for just a few dollars was priceless.

    • angelkulit025 on 09/06/2016 - 08:49

      Why did you even purchase the $10 starter kits? is it even worth it?

      • WatermelonJuice on 09/06/2016 - 08:59

        To port in and out. Yes it is worth it.

        • angelkulit025 on 09/06/2016 - 09:21

          fair enough, much better rather buying a $2 sim which has no value included.

        • illumination on 09/06/2016 - 09:45

      you have to register it first online like any other sim cards.

    Walkerville I could only grab one, and it only worked after scanning Everyday Rewards card. Guy wouldn't let me get more.

    Marden, they still had the $1 ticket out so I was able to get one free for it having the wrong price (not sure why), then asked and was able to grab 5 more @ $1.. took ages because the system was saying they were $30, but success in the end.

    The helpful young lass at my local Woolies is happy to sell me however many of these I want to buy.. But I'm a total Noob with porting etc. Should I buy one, or 50.. how many do you need, ideally?

    • Limitless on 09/06/2016 - 13:06
      +1

      They expire in December 2017 so probably not 50…also depends if you plan to port between different providers each month or use a cheap sim to port back to woolworths. You need as many as you plan to use before the expiry depending on how you choose to port.

      I would use woolies cards every second month and a different provider in the months in between.

    • WatermelonJuice on 09/06/2016 - 15:47

      Buy 50 and give them as birthday or anniversary presents. Give the rest out to Ozbargainer who give you their address.

    Woolies Loganholme Qld had the yellow sales ticket showing $1. Cards scanned at $30 so they put them through manually for me after commenting that they had scanned at $1 yesterday. They only had 5 left so I got them all. Then went to Beenleigh. They had heaps on the hook. Scanned at $30 and was told I had to use the rewards card to get it for $1 and only one per card. I used 2 cards but I don't know if it is per card or transaction. Might try again with a different checkout operator if I could be bothered.

    • jirvin_4505 on 09/06/2016 - 13:25

      Woolies at Burpengary had plenty of sims but didn't know about offer. Agreed to sell me 10 based on the online link. However dramas when scanned at $30 - I didn't have rewards card with me. Given the reception and grief I was getting decided to bail. Imagine if they well selling baked beans there would be no drama!

      Went to new Morayfield they had the price sticker advertising the deal so when it scanned at $30 the agreed to sell 5 and reset the system

      Went to Westfield Morayfield they had heaps and agreed to sell me 10 but drama when scanned at $30. Used an image of wife's reward card and it would only discount 1 card. Attempted to do multiple purchases but seems only 1 card per rewards card.

      Maybe go back and get a heap of temporary rewards cards?

    • Obey on 09/06/2016 - 13:52

    Ok so I literally just made an account to ask this… If you already are on another carrier (amaysim) in my case why would you wanna buy this? I totally don't understand people who buy multiple of them, like what is it for??? like whattt. You have lots of phones or something?
