Got a text saying My 16GB has increased to 23GB.

We’ve beefed up the data in all SMALL, LARGE and EXTRA LARGE prepaid plans, at no extra cost.

Here are the new data inclusions.

Kogan Mobile Plan Tier Before Upgraded To
Small 1.5GB 2GB
Medium 6GB 6GB (No change)
Large 11GB 16GB
Xtra Large 16GB 23GB

Users on Medium plan will miss out. The data upgrades will apply to 30 Day, 90 Day and 1 Year Plans. There is no data rollover.

The increases to data will also benefit new customers, not just pre-existing ones.

      No international calls either. :(.

    Great deal, so glad I switched a few months ago. No issues with the Vodafone network like I expected either

    • fuzor on 11/12/2017 - 14:03

      I'm having massive issues in the city where Optus and Helstra have good reception. My phones also draining battery faster due to the constant searching of the network.

      If you're going to work by train, better to use Optus, much better reception when I was with them before switching over.

      • summit on 11/12/2017 - 14:09

        I haven't had Telstra before, too expensive haha. But I find Kogan better than Optus where I go. I used to find so many black spots on Optus, especially between Burwood and Redfern stations.

          i get this too with Virgin mobile (uses optus i think)
          between sydenham & redfern is a deadzone :(

          @Jonski: for me between sydenham and kingsgrove/bexley, dead - (optus telstra and voda, the same)

  • Master Haggler on 11/12/2017 - 13:46

    I'm tempted but not sure about network coverage. What is the Vodafone network like in regional areas? I am with Telechoice who are on the Telstra network and get good coverage.

    • lomie on 11/12/2017 - 14:09

      Buy the $4.90 deal and test it out for yourself before committing to a yearly plan.

    • amanvell on 11/12/2017 - 14:27

      I was in Singleton NSW on the weekend and speedtest with Kogan was around 0.7mbps. Wife on Virgin got 6+mbps. When I tried browsing it kept timing out.

      That said the 'free wireless broadband' at the motel was even slower…

      At the McDonalds on the M1 (southbound) coverage was terrible also, McD app wouldn't even log in without timing out(also their wireless sucks too, no free coffee for me).

      My past experience is that Telstra usually has wider regional coverage, but even they suck if you move away from major roads. Although usually if I had coverage on the Telstra network wife usually has it on Virgin/Optus also.

    • GregMonarch on 11/12/2017 - 15:55

      You really have to test it yourself. Buy the $4.90 Kogan SIM like amts suggested, or borrow a Vodafone/Kogan SIM from someone to try, etc. Vodafone own their own network and they did a lot of upgrading after the 'Vodafail' debacle. So it can be really fast - or not.

      • Fancydancer on 12/12/2017 - 09:55

        Strange I regularly go through there and never any dramas, in fact works extremely well around Sydney, Central Coast, Parra and Newcastle. Drove to Melbourne and streamed maps/music the whole way and worked around the city well too. Honestly never thought about going too Telstra.

  • denzele on 11/12/2017 - 13:50

    Good on Kogan for doing this . Hopefully this forces others to drop their plans as well .

  • Slippery Otter on 11/12/2017 - 13:51

    Oh my! Is it time to get off good ole Optus shitty cable internet? Everyone in my household uses Kogan mobile X Large plan. So almost no need for traditional fraudband.

  • DarthLord on 11/12/2017 - 13:55

    Value for money, really happy with my medium plan but will be sweeter if Kogan throw in extra GB like other plans

  • GregMonarch on 11/12/2017 - 14:16

    Wish Kogan would SMS their own links… The phone the SIM is in has a small screen, making the last character of the URL was on the next line. So when I typed it on the computer to see what the msg was about (missing that last character), I get the message:

    Yaaaaaay! Now I have 23 GB :D

    • GregMonarch on 11/12/2017 - 14:27

      Now… Do we still get $4.90 SIMs? Hmmm???

      1. 100GB (Optus mobile broadband deal with tablet for $52.50/m) divided by 23GB = Need to buy 5x $4.90 Kogan SIMs = $24.50 per 30 days, or $24.84 per month.

      2. 140GB (Optus mobile broadband deal without tablet for $52.50/m) divided by 23GB = Need to buy 6x $4.90 Kogan SIMs = $29.40 per 30 days, or $29.81 per month.

      ;-D

      • mkowarkski on 11/12/2017 - 15:27

        I don't exactly understand you comparison?! Are you comparing Optus plan + Tablet with Kogan SIM plan?!

        • GregMonarch on 11/12/2017 - 15:47
          +1

          I'm mucking about. Sort of. i.e. If Kogan had $4.90 SIMs available forever, you could buy several of those instead of committing to mobile broadband - but at about half the cost.

        • xsacha on 11/12/2017 - 18:52

          @GregMonarch: the Optus plans are data only.
          Voice component adds to cost.

        • GregMonarch on 12/12/2017 - 17:45

          @xsacha: Yep, I was only referring to the data. Just joshin' was I.

  • j4ck on 11/12/2017 - 14:19

    Just received a text saying that my data has increased! Sweet!

  • R3XNebular on 11/12/2017 - 14:19

    Waiting for the other telcos to respond now. Hopefully with 30gb for the same price.

  • CyberMurning on 11/12/2017 - 14:20

    if i have 2 numbers under 1 account will the data got shared? (just like optus).
    also for the large for example, 16gb data per month is not rolled over, correct?

    • marantz on 11/12/2017 - 14:24

      Data don't roll over sadly

    • fozzie on 11/12/2017 - 17:08

      No sharing I’m afraid or rollover. But very cheap!

  • aussie1990 on 11/12/2017 - 14:21

    Fantastic! Received an SMS from Kogan and also checked my account. My data has been increased.

    • andyman1908 on 11/12/2017 - 14:27

      Yep increased data shows up on both mine and mrs plans. Fortunate as she went over her data this morning and waiting for her to hassle me to top-up her plan :)

  • Jopgun on 11/12/2017 - 14:25

      On the bright side… Optus has data- free streaming on music services like Spotify

      • CyberMurning on 11/12/2017 - 14:33

        dont use it. you need premium spotify anyway which is not free.

  • mrhatken on 11/12/2017 - 14:25

    I find myself going outside (to a nice location by the river) to watch video (TV, movies) just to use up my data :-)

        Getting it sent to my workplace, other stuff gets here fine. they confirmed the addresses for the second sending. Basically if its not here before I break for work holidays then I'm asking for a refund. the whole needing a specific sim to switch carriers has never made sense to me … bring on the e-sims.

  • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2017 - 14:30

    Is the Kogan service better than Aldi Mobile? Not sure which one to go with, I only know Aldi Mobile use Telstra network so is it vastly better?

    • Fancydancer on 11/12/2017 - 14:31

      No, Kogan (Voda) better sometimes from my experience

    • Matslurpee on 11/12/2017 - 15:50

      Aldi doesnt get full telstra network.

  • Fancydancer on 11/12/2017 - 14:30
    +3

    Interesting comparison… buy IPhone X outright and add Kogan Large (16gb) plan equals approx $87 per month (assuming can get last 12 months same price or cheaper). Closest plans from Optus and Voda are $117 and $115 respectively (both have less included data!). That’s a saving of $720 over the life of these plans if you can come up with the initial outlay $1579.

    • TheElderLegend on 11/12/2017 - 15:09

      That’s basically what I’m doing! Additional savings if you can utilise TRS

    • CyberMurning on 11/12/2017 - 15:18

      i always said never go into phone contract. that is just stupid, and only good for people who cant actually cant afford it but want to looks cool with expensive phones

      • virhlpool on 12/12/2017 - 02:57

        iphone 8 64GB Optus deal worked out to be $51/month for two yrs (with 20 GB data plan AND 150 international minutes) after $200 EFTPOS gift card from Harvey Norman. Even if you apply discounted price for the phone, the plan still works out to be cheaper than Kogan. Not sure how you think Kogan deal is better! And, you could always sell your unlocked iPhone 8 at near market value which made it even sweeter.

    • Cusack on 11/12/2017 - 20:18

      I haven't been in contact for 5 years. Its always been cheaper. You just need to have cash to buy phone outright

        Do $4.95 for 1st month then buy $300 Kogan gift cards at Woolies at 5% off and you pay $23.47 for 13 months.

    Joined Kogan Mobile in July when it was a discounted price. My plan works out at about $27 a month for unlimited calls/messages with 16GB a month. They gave me a bonus 2GB last month at no added cost. Now I get 23GB. First company I've dealt with that seem to reward current customers appropriately.

  • B612 on 11/12/2017 - 17:18

    Is it true that Kogan used up data quicker?

      Yea I’ve posted the same thing once, I seemed to have burnt 5GB doing nothing more than what I usually do with 3gb when I switched to Kogan for a month. Pretty sure Kogan calculates data in a way that says I use more from experience.

      If you're after one of their discounted prepaid plans, then you must purchase the voucher by the 31st of Dec 2017 and redeem the voucher by the 31st of Jan, 2018.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2017 - 18:28

      Yes you can. I was with Optus previously and the process took around 15 min to port my number to Kogan. Not sure if it's still that quick, however there shouldn't be a problem in doing so :)

      Edit: You should be receiving a free SIM card with your purchase of the voucher. During the set up process, it will ask you whether you would like to keep your old number or have a new one provided by Kogan Mobile.

    After Telstra has ended the play store credit on Freedom plus, I have now decided to move to Kogan too! Husband and daughter already with them (6gb and 2gb). I just bought the 6gb plan, but used a $50 voucher which was on here (paid $9 for it so $41 discount), plus got $10 off from husbands referral. Total for 1 year at 6gb $156.60. What a bargain, I will be moving over end of February as I still have some Telstra vouchers.

    • CyberMurning on 11/12/2017 - 22:26

      Ok care to explain how to get all those perks? I have 2 numbers so also interested with the the referral thing. Thanks.

      • fozzie on 11/12/2017 - 22:29

        The $50 discount are sold on here or eBay (range between $9 and $15). The referral link is under your account. Just use a different email to sign up and both original account and new account get $10 off (to be used within 3 months). Just saved myself $51 (and if I use new voucher will be $61 :)
