    Can confirm my 16gb is now 17gb 😁

    15months ago I started at 10gb/month with Kogan and wondered how I'd ever use it all. Now up to 17gb - I'm glad Kogan has handed opened up additional data for free!

    • Whisper Quiet on 30/08/2018 - 09:16

      Yep been with them 10 days shy of one year. Supposed to start at 10Gb for the month. First day was upgraded to 11GB, then two months later it was 16, now 17GB. All for no extra cost. Absolutely no complaints about Kogan. As good as any other networks I've been with (Telstra, Optus, 3 and Vodafone) if not better.

  • MrZ on 29/08/2018 - 08:18

    What kind of speeds do you get on Kogan compared to Telstra? I'm thinking of switching over.

    • adrenaline127 on 29/08/2018 - 08:23

      Just did a speed test on the bus, getting around 42mb download and 18mb upload (Ookla speed test app)

        Are you sure you're not on wi-fi?! I'm getting 5 Mbps with Telstra…

        • CYMA on 29/08/2018 - 08:37

          There's a few factors that will affect your speed. Telstra is only really good for network coverage imo. I was getting some pretty awesome speeds last time I checked on Kogan mobile (Vodaphone network). 200mbps down 40mbps upload at Glen Waverley station.

        • Woodyg22 on 29/08/2018 - 09:14

          I've also seen around 200mbps down on Telstra 4G

        • greennick on 29/08/2018 - 10:09

          I just got 95.3/49.2 on Telstra and often get mid 100's. It really depends on where you are and the amount of network congestion.

        • [Deactivated] on 29/08/2018 - 12:01

          @greennick: I get over 100mbps up to around 170mbps at work, then at home 1km away I get 15mbps

        • MrZ on 29/08/2018 - 15:09

          @Conye:

          Can't seem to get more than 10 Mbps on Telstra (4G) regardless of where I am. Very frustrating. Does it matter that my phone is an overseas model, i.e. not bought in Australia?

        • greennick on 29/08/2018 - 16:15

          @Conye: I find it weird at home. I get really high data transfer, but my home seems to be in a bit of a deadspot and sometimes the reception goes to shit.

        • greennick on 29/08/2018 - 16:26

          @MrZ: Could be that your phone can't do LTE? Which is Telstra's standard for high speed data transfer. Or maybe you don't have access to the frequencies the faster parts of the network are running on?

        • Wardaddy on 29/08/2018 - 16:44

          @MrZ: Yes, could make all the difference in the world, depending on what it is.

          @CYMA:

          I very much doubt you see 200mbps on Kogan. Pics or it didn't happen.

          Before I ported from Telstra to Kogan today I did some tests, here were the results:

          Telstra
          Downspeed – 230mbps
          Upspeed – 40.7mbps

          Kogan
          Downspeed – 64.6mbps
          Upspeed – 19.3mbps

          Same phone, exact same location, about 14 minutes apart.

      Just got 7.85Mbps/2.07Mbps on Kogan using Samsung S7. I'm in Canberra Civic.

      Realised it was unrealistic of me to test on first floor of a high rise. Retested on my way to get coffee and I now get 22.8Mbps/5.16Mbps

    • krisspy on 29/08/2018 - 09:07

      61Mbps down and 38Mbps up. Parramatta near westfield

    • Han Solo on 29/08/2018 - 09:35

      The speeds aren't as great (still more than usable for mobile phone purposes) as telstra and reception could be an issue if you live in the country but apart from that if you live in a city you should have no issues.

    • Allan Thomas on 29/08/2018 - 09:56

      Same. My data has been upgraded like 4 times in the almost 2 years i've been with them. I started with like, 8GB i think. now on 17GB.

  • tianyujojo on 29/08/2018 - 08:37

    Does anyone know when will Kogan allow roaming overseas? It is a pain that I can't receive sms or phone calls when I am overseas.

    • overkillxx on 29/08/2018 - 08:59

      Not only does Kogan allow no roaming, they don't even let you call forward unless you purchase an "Upgrade Pack" on a monthly basis. Even with the upgrade pack call forwarding is is charged. Vodafone however offers call forwarding for free. This reason alone is why I will change carriers once im finished with my prepaid plan with them.. For me, if I go overseas I want to be at least able to call forward to a local Australia DID (Voip) number which I can use overseas without being charged extra for it

        Not sure if your comment was supposed to be a complaint.

        MVNOs exist and are cheaper for the reason that some people dont require additional extra services that are usually factored into the monthly cost of host provider.

        Things i expect to be missimg from mvnos are volte, vowifi, international roaming and call forwarding

        • callum9999 on 29/08/2018 - 12:01

          How, do you live under a rock? Loads of them do, including most of the major ones - Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Aldi, Coles, Boost, Amayasim etc etc

        • illumination on 29/08/2018 - 12:04

          Optus, Vodafone, Amaysim, Telstra, Ovo, TPG, Aldi. Arguably as to whether Ovo/TPG are prepaid, but they can "effectively" be prepaid.

          Feel like I might be missing some too.

        • BuzzBuzzBuzz on 29/08/2018 - 09:02

          It rolls over from the last billing cycle until the start of the next month. i.e. data resets on the first of the month regardless of where your billing cycle lapse point is.

          EDIT: Actually, turns out I could be wrong. I'll let somebody more knowledgeable answer.

        • CVonC on 29/08/2018 - 13:29

        I was just on the phone with one of Kogan mobile's customer service staff. He told me that the update to 32GB will apply for both new AND existing customer.

        However, existing customers (like me on XL plan) will need to wait a bit until we get the extra 9GB. He also said that we will get text message to confirm that our 23GB plan has been updated to 32 GB, but it'll take some time.

  • mysterytal on 29/08/2018 - 09:29
    +1

    32GB per month. Nice… Can this last? There's no need for the NBN at this rate. Even if it lasts just one week with a bit of fiddling about changing SIM cards each week that's some 128GB of data over 4 weeks for under $20 using the discounted SIM card offer in another thread. The cheapest NBN plan is somewhere around $60/month.

    I mean…I'm all for saving money and will definitely be taking advantage but is this to lure me into paying more in the future? Is there a catch?

    • musicinbed69 on 29/08/2018 - 09:45
      +2

      32GB wouldn't even last me two days on a wired connection, so we're still a long way off not needing NBN.

      The catch is, to get the 32GB at the best rate you need to buy a year in advance. If you switch away or find you need a higher tier you don't get any of your money back.

      • mysterytal on 29/08/2018 - 09:49
        +2

        Two days… Wow… I thought I used quite a bit streaming video to the TV through a Chromecast for an hour or so each day. That is amazing. I do wonder how people get through so much.

        I thought the current best deal from Kogan was the offer of $4.90 for the first month.

        I've currently got a few 98 cent codes which should see me through until they are no longer valid. Yes I understand it's fiddly changing SIM cards but the saving is huge.

    One thing I realised over the years: you can never have too much mobile data allowance. I am always surprised how quickly you can burn through even 23gb a month if you put your mind to it.

    Does anyone know for the second voucher if it can be used on an existing kogan account.

    The buy one get one free deal gives a single sim and two vouchers. The new SIM will be setup as a new account using up a single voucher, can the second voucher be used to recharge an existing account?

          It does.

          "If you are already a Kogan Mobile customer, simply login to your account, click recharge, choose your plan type, then enter your voucher. You will not need a new SIM Card."

          @Penpinch:

          Oh so if you buy a buy one get one free you can apply it to an already existing account? (I thought it said the buy one get one free was only for new users?)
