  I just found out my mum is paying $100 a month on a Voda plan (plus handset repayment!)… contract has ended though and I've finally convinced her she can just buy a handset outright with the savings. It's the 'in-person service/upsell' that gets people

      Its been a long battle… I've finally convinced her after a year of my Kogan phone. Thats how brand names work though - Optus/Telstra/Voda have a big name out there, with ads you hear/see on TV, stores you can walk into. Kogan/Boost/Lebara are companies you don't see, out to scam the oldies in their books

    - vbhaven on 26/02/2019 - 14:03

  - chewkl on 26/02/2019 - 08:25
    
    I don't see any activation dates in the fine print nor in the CIS.
- Pantagonist on 26/02/2019 - 08:30
  
  I'm in a similar situation. This does look like it's going to be a long-term offering from Boost based on how it's been listed on their website and also included in the app. I'm just going to wait and hope that it's still there come March 10th. I just cancelled my auto recharge.
  
  Am currently on the $20/3GB per month plan but about to do some local travel so $25/20GB per month on the $300/365 day plan sounds pretty good to me.
  
  Can't beat Boost's coverage in rural/remote Australia. Basically the full Telstra coverage without their prices.
  - [Deactivated] on 26/02/2019 - 08:58
    
    Yeah, really hope it long term. As my plan will recharge in 2 day so impossible to switch before a new month. If it still avaiable mid March, I def jumping on $150.
Skky on 26/02/2019 - 08:22

  Heading overseas? Roaming is already set up on your Boost Prepaid Mobile
  service. Different rates apply to use your service overseas and these rates are
  much higher than in Australia, see boost.com.au/rates for more information.
  Just purchase a $5 Add-On and keep in touch or connected when you’re
  travelling overseas with $5 credit for calls and text while roaming. The Boost
  Anytime Plus™ offer excludes data usage and MMS while overseas. When
  travelling overseas the best way to recharge is online at boost.com.au/recharge
  or using #111#. You can recharge using your credit / debit card, PayPal™
  - totalgadget on 26/02/2019 - 14:27
    
    I'm planning to go to India for couple of months. Anybody has experience how is the roaming coverage.
    
    Basically romaing is for receiving text messages from banks and security purpose. So do i need to top up an addon every month?
    - matt_will_fix_it on 26/02/2019 - 20:01
      
      You should be able to receive text messages free of charge.

      - Borg on 03/04/2019 - 15:53
        
        @superforever: If my understanding is correct, WiFi calling is really only for those that do not have Signal to a Mobile Tower eg: Say you were in a basement. Great as it means you can still call using local WiFi.
        Downside: If in the middle of a call and a "Tower Signal" became available, it would cut off the WiFi call while switching back to the tower? I will stand corrected!
        
        ATTS on 03/04/2019 - 16:10
        
        @Borg: curious, does wifi calling just use your data?
        
        Borg on 03/04/2019 - 17:03
        
        @ATTS: It would use the WiFi you are connected to (assuming you had WiFi access) i.e. Mobile Data would not be available as you are out of Range of a Tower. From my understanding, you would only consider using WiFi calling when no Signal was available from a Mobile Tower.

Does the data roll over from month to month (unused data) or is it like kogan where it’s a use it or lose it situation?
- pharcyde on 26/02/2019 - 08:31
  
  +2
  
  It's a 365 day plan. You have 80/240gb to use throughout the 365 days.
- Pantagonist on 26/02/2019 - 08:35
  
  +2
  
  These are 365 day plans. There's no month to month roll over, just one big chunk of data.
  
  For their other plans, provided you recharge at least $20 before expiry any unused data rolls over for one month only. If you still haven't used it by the end of the following month you lose it. This is based on my current experience with the $20/3GB per month plan, but it looks like that has gone now and it's $20/5GB per month so not sure if the rollover T&Cs have changed.
  - Jamesx on 26/02/2019 - 09:30
    
    its 28 days
    - Wardaddy on 26/02/2019 - 11:02
      
      No, 180 or 365 days.
    - Pantagonist on 26/02/2019 - 11:22
      
      +1
      
      That's true if you don't set up an auto recharge.
      
      If you set one up it recharges on the same day every month, effectively meaning that some months you get 31 days, some 30 days and 28 or 29 days around February time depending on if it's a leap year or not.

  I just bought a $2 SIM and ported my number from Woolworths using the boost website Activation page. After a mandatory 1 hr delay from Woolworths (to allow for fraud prevention presumably) the port was done in under 5 min. Then you install the Boost app on your phone and recharge $150 or $300 from there - the new options are all included in the recharge list, unlike the website. I recharged $150 and now have a data balance of 80 GB and an expiry of 25 Feb 2020.
