      I found it better than 2nd tier telstra resellers.

      • pennypincher98 on 22/02/2018 - 15:07

        I've said this many times before, but the main reason I can't be on Vodafone is I don't get service half the time. Optus (including MVNOs) is better for me, but Telstra (and it's resellers) have got the best coverage.

        Note, I'm not talking speed.

        • Cheeper on 22/02/2018 - 21:58

          I travel up and down the coast a lot.. coffs to gosford and find voda 4g great for that.
          Performance in any static location always varies.

          @xywolap: Ah, that is where it's different. You see I tend to go down from Gosford, not up (to go to Sydney) and find that Voda service during Gosford to Hornsby very limited, or non-existent.
          Performance in one location does vary, but sometimes I had 4G and sometimes I had "limited service". Bit too much of a variation for me.

          That comment helps nobody unless you specify geographical areas where your talking about.

          When I read that comment I replied to that specific comment without reading your clarification regarding specific locations many hours later, only after "xywolap" mentioned "coffs to gosford"

          So yes, I commented too early before reading later comments, but you did make a comment without location.

        Actually, if you just wanna grab a new phone number, no need to recharge any money. It just means you can't make any phone or txt out. I just operated like that and port the number out to kogan.

        • bonz on 23/02/2018 - 09:57

          I guess you haven't tried to activate a $2 Optus sim lately, Optus has a new process whereby you can not complete the activation without a minimum of $10 credit. I collected quite a few of these free sims for porting purposes but instead of chucking them in the bin, i put them in shopping centres with a 'FREE' note on them, someone else may find a use for these
          I now stick to Telstra or Voda $2 SIMs, or $10 Optus starter kits discounted to $1 or $2. Incidentally Woolworths petrol stores are selling $10 kits for $3 until 6/3/2018. Optus is currently running a promo on $10 offer where you'll get 15 GB + unlimited calls and text for 7 days

        • nickj on 13/03/2018 - 14:46

          @bonz: Superb description of the changes in Optus $2 SIMs. Only very very minor correction would be that the $10 Optus SIMs have 100 minutes of standard national calls (rather than unlimited calls) and unlimited SMS/MMS.

          @jmmjbb: I have seen free $2 vodafone SIMs at some motels, among all the brochures for local tourist attractions. That's the only place I've seen them recently.

        • bonz on 13/03/2018 - 17:28

          @nickj: You're spot on there re. 100 minutes, deep down i knew that it was 100, don't know why i said unlimited, must have typed that in my sleep lol. Thanks for pointing it out so others would be better informed.

      Are you using the code to port your mobile phone number from another provider to Kogan?. The code will only work for a porting.

      • ozhunter68 on 06/03/2018 - 12:58

        Yes, same here with two codes. Called up Kogan Mobile and they confirmed new rules to only work with porting a number over in same name etc.

  • AlienC on 23/02/2018 - 20:18

    I have a vaya SIM atm expiring pretty pretty much soon.

  • Ashy Larry on 24/02/2018 - 06:31

    Rus don't make it easy but I figured out his cryptic deal. All conventional methods failed so I tried porting my Kogan number(only needed to remember the number) from the previous deal last year and it worked. I entered new starter(leftover starter pack from last year) details in the next steps as I didn't have the old sim number. The number didn't port and I dare say that you could put any number in the porting field as they are bluffing. With great frustration comes great satisfaction, sometimes.

    • elsecry on 27/02/2018 - 17:18
      +1

      Can you give me some more specific details on what happened? I tried to port to a random number, and the sim card can't connect to a network. Did you have to wait for the sim to work, or did it work immediately?

      • Ashy Larry on 27/02/2018 - 17:45
        +1

        It was the only way I could complete all steps to get the success message. However yesterday they sent me an email stating that porting had failed, which could be for any number of reasons. I have given up on them but still believe in a world where porting a valid number would activate this deal.

  • dreamerman on 24/02/2018 - 09:21

    Been recommending Kogan to my friends whenever appropriate. Weird thing is many are unaware of Kogan mobile and they can't believe what I am telling them especially the one year prepaid plan. Kogan has a great marketing approach (either accidental or intentional) when they send 2 sim cards for an order of one. With one spare, I can give out to friends. They can sign up for a plan and straight away receive an activation code. Within an hour they can port their personal mobile number across to Kogan. That happened 3 weeks ago. Now Kogan has another happy customer. BTW, I am not associated with Ruslan but I think he is a shrewd businessman.

    Hi fellow ozbargainers,

    I contacted Kogan mobile support customer service and enquired about using voucher code to recharge exsiting kogan mobile number option which states on the emails when we receive the voucher code. I was told voucher code will only work when porting from another provider. They weren't aware that on the emails they sent out, it has another options to recharge an existing kogan number.

    • cwongtech on 25/02/2018 - 17:24

      The codes don't work anymore at all..
      They all register as "Please call customer service"
      They worked two days ago..

      • ja912son on 25/02/2018 - 18:15

        Weird. Voucher expires at 11:59pm AEDT on 31/03/2018. Activation or recharge must be made before the voucher expiry date.

        Should be still working if you port a number from a non-Vodafone carrier until 31/3/18.

        • cwongtech on 25/02/2018 - 18:20

          Nope. Still says call customer service in the voucher code field even if you choose to port a number.

    I found it required porting a number to work (as it is advertised).
    I tried just activating a SIM I already had and got the "Invalid Code" message until I backtracked and put it through as a porting request.
    Perhaps they have patched people being able to just register a new number?

  • neil on 01/03/2018 - 22:54

  • marquise on 08/03/2018 - 18:45

    Ported today, no issues. It's comforting to know they ask for a voucher code at the same time, before they process the activation. I was worried it would process the port, then I'd have problems with the recharge voucher.

      • brisdaz on 18/03/2018 - 08:20

        I ended up buying a Telstra SIM. It activated OK and now in the process of porting. What I didn't realize was porting only occurs Mondays to Saturday. I'll still have to wait a day but that's quicker then 2 to 3 days for the online Telstra SIM.

        I also ended up ordering the Telstra SIM as I need it for hopefully the free voucher code offered by JLQC5899 above as I will be transferring to a new fixed line ISP in the next 2 weeks.

        Does anyone know whilst I wait for the port to occur I can use data? I guess I'll find out soon. EDIT - I can't use data whilst I wait for porting.

          I only just read your comments now, otherwise would have advised anyone to not port on Sunday, but wait until Monday morning, or even after midnight Sunday, as Non of the Telcos port on Sunday, but Kogan will start the 30 day expiry from Sunday, so you miss out on a day.

          I have ported on Sunday with other Telcos before and they will start the first day of activation on Monday, and went smoothly Monday morning. Not sure if it was a technical issue with Kogan's porting in last 4 months ( that's what they told me ), could be because I'm on a slow port list lol because of my many porting history/free sim XL activation, but if I start the port on a Sunday, will not be finalised until 2-3 working days and phone calls/live chat later, very annoying. New number activation's are not a problem though.

          This could just be my personal experience only, not sure if others had similar problems?

          @asx100:

          Thought so much. Oh well,… you can't blame them for making it a bit harder and slowing down the sim sluts like me &

          others. At least they still run this deal and we can still sample/use their Free offers for more than one sim at a time ( if

          you port or activate multiple sims with different numbers up to 4 per month on same name/account/credit/debit card as far as my knowledge/experience ).

          I imagine they will further close more loopholes and reduce the amount of free XL sims in same name, or slow down the internet speeds or whatever.

          But for now, still thumbs up for Kogan :-)

  • brisdaz on 18/03/2018 - 08:48

    Does Kogan Mobile (Vodafone) support Carrier Aggregation? Speed test on both Belong and Telstra SIM with my Moto G5 Plus support speeds of around 80mbps whilst Kogan only support 40mbps which leads me to believe that Kogan doesn't.

    • ozhunter68 on 18/03/2018 - 11:26

      I think you might be right, as I have even noticed that sometimes Kogan can be slower than Vodafone in exact same area and time. Have not done technical speed tests like yourself, but very obvious just loading similar pages using same hardware ( Vodafone latest 4G portable modem X2 ), and tethering using same phones.

          I've also successfully ported out my the other Kogan mobile number to Telstra prepaid sim (got it free sometime ago) yesterday and ported back to Kogan mobile today using the voucher. I just wanted to try if it works and wasn't expecting that it went through so smoothly. It took less than 3 hours for the port from Telstra to Kogan to happen this morning.

          @F1ngolf:

          Maybe Kogan still activated this code for new number last week, but changed policy now. Hence people lately saying it's not working anymore for new number.

          @F1ngolf: Do you need to wait for the existing Kogan account to be de-activated before porting back in as new customer? I did the exact thing as you. I ported out from Kogan to Telstra OK, but I notice that my kogan pre-paid account is still active.If I initiate a porting in now, my mobile number has already been attached to an existing
          account, will that be ok?

          @asx100: I didn't check if my previous Kogan pre-paid account was still active before porting from Telstra to Kogan. I thought that once my number was ported out from Kogan to Telstra, my Kogan pre-paid account which was linked to the ported number is no more valid. Have a go and you could always call Kogan customer service to help if you face problem with the activation.

          @F1ngolf: It has been five hours since I ported out and my kogan pre-paid still active.

          @asx100: I ported from Kogan to Telstra and back to Kogan on different day.

          One day apart?

          @JLQC5899: Yes. That was what I did; though I'm not sure if this is really necessary.

        When did you try for "new number"?

        I just activated the sim and ported from my existing vodafone number (I didn't read the post carefully), and it didn't port successfully but still got the data plan , the number is the new number which came with the sim
