Kogan is 480GB for $315.
Double data for $15!
No international calls though….but whatsapp.
Voda…not telstra though…not great if you are in the country.

- andymic on 26/02/2019 - 10:54
  
  Vodafone can roam to Optus in some regional locations.
  Unfortunately is no 'list' of locations, it's more of a 'try and see' approach.

Alright folks contacted Boost to ask the following:

Me: When do these offers expire?
Agent: We don’t have this information so it will stay active as long as it is on the website.
Me: Can I recharge twice and get 2 years’ worth plan?
Agent: Yes you can, please call us so we can assist you with this request.
- bidam1 on 26/02/2019 - 09:39

    To be honest, I vowed to never lock into a 24 month contract given the way mobile plans move. Maybe in 12 months we will see these kinds of prices for even more data.

      Mobile industry is fascinating to watch.
      
      Most customers used to be on post-paid 24 month contracts but as the MVNOs offered better value many customers migrated to prepaid (and why not, you regain control of excess usage).
      
      The MVNOs raced to buy customers with the best introductory deals (e.g. Amaysim offering $35 cashback on a $10 plan), then they all realised it's a stupid churn game as the mobile market has been fully saturated for years. e.g. Amaysim today announced that they had 124,000 customers expire off their PAYG plans during January and February this year. PAYG is is what all the non-renewing (think OzBargain) customers automatically migrate to.
      
      So now several players offering 365 day prepaid plans, and we're considering buying 2 years worth… effectively putting ourselves back on contracts.
      
      It could turn out to be a good bet if prices rise again… but ATM that looks quite unlikely as all indications are that 5G won't be more expensive because consumers won't pay more when 4G is already adequate.
- Bappy on 26/02/2019 - 09:46

  I also called them and the customer service rep answered little differently
  She advised this will be a permanent offer from now on (this offer only launched today…)
  We could also purchase/pre-order the $2 sim card and then add the $150/$300 pack later on along with port-ins.
  - virhlpool on 26/02/2019 - 09:55
    
    Different replies by different people - is why I don't like customer service of these small players. Kogan isn't too bad.

        @bchliu: Not in terms of revenue.. in terms of how their customer care operates. Kogan hasn't disappointed ever. While, Boost, Lebara, Jeenee, Yomojo and Lyca have not been that great in my experience.
  - Kas on 26/02/2019 - 11:50
    
    Like kogan voucher code, we can't buy this deal now and activate later, you have to buy this deal when you want to activate / port to boost.
    Fingers crossed when your current plan is going to expire and see whether this deal is available or not.

how do i buy the 12 month plan as when i select it only takes me to buy the $2 sim card which i did what next ? my plan expires after 25 days so thats when i would like to move on boost…
- xsacha on 26/02/2019 - 09:49

  Seems you need to already have a boost Sim to recharge the 12 month. So buy a $2 Sim first. You can grab it at Coles instead of waiting for delivery.
  - justtoreply on 28/02/2019 - 18:12
    
    Good advice, it really helped (I was time limited as I had to resolve whether I could get out of the catchconnect that I just bought and needed to transfer to today, I wanted a boost sim in my hand in case the boost deal expires soon).
    
    Having said that, Coles was useless (Out of stock), Woolies was useless (Out of stock). Australia Post was where I got it.

    maybe the case, but let's not forget these days hardly any one using a voice call, might be the marketing gap like 3G, when everyone's on 4G you need someone to fill the gap.

My Kogan plan expires in the Dec 2019 so I can't do much, but good to see that there's one more strong competitor offering amazing value in the market. Optus' and Vodafone's of the world should wake up now. It's high time.

- justtoreply on 28/02/2019 - 18:15
  
  It will certainly heat up the competition. However, I doubt that will make people that need the coverage go away from boost. I know I just canned the $100/yr Catchconnect for the $150/yr boost (nb: Boost also has more data. But I did it for the coverage as I am in the vast minority that need it)
gstfree on 26/02/2019 - 10:25

Can we activate this plan on $40 starter pack?
- Dungeon Master on 26/03/2019 - 22:55
  
  I just bought the $10 starter pack because they were out of $2 sims. Now that I'm trying to sign up it'll only let me use the $10 credit on a 7 day 3gb plan. There's absolutely nothing on the sim packet saying you're exclusively buying credit for one specific plan. Gonna call them tomorrow.
  
  So, probably not and I wouldn't risk it.

If you pay $30 per month by card you get 12x20g plus 5x15g = 315g - $360 for 315g - why is this deal better? am I missing something?

- Osprey06 on 26/02/2019 - 12:08
  
  You mean the $30 prepaid at Boost?
  
  As noted, it depends if you need the data (I don't), but that plan has a 28 day expiry, meaning you need 13 recharges to give you 12 months coverage. 365.25/28=13.04*$30=$391.34 for 12 months coverage.
  - blamesociety on 26/02/2019 - 23:59

    You only need 12 recharges if you set up auto recharge (recharges on the same day of each month).
Owgasm on 26/02/2019 - 10:28

Tried looking for an “add on” data package.
Just in case I get trigger happy with 240gb in the bank.

Can anyone link a “top up” for data if I run out of data within the 365 days?
- bdl on 26/02/2019 - 10:31
  
  They would probably want you to recharge with another 365 day plan or switch to one of their 28 day plans which would suit higher data usage
DarthLord on 26/02/2019 - 10:31

I think the $100 , 60gb / 6 mths plan more appealing for me. So, end up paying $200 for one year with 120gb in total. I need those overseas unlimited calls

In conclusion, just spend extra $50 compared to $150 /12mths plan and get 120gb instead of 80gb.. that's 50% more data for extra $50
Am currently on Kogan
- walahbro on 26/02/2019 - 12:34
  
  if the comment about Telstra 5g coming out in 6 + months, this is probably a better for the time being, free calls to 20 instead of 25 countries offer on the 12mth options though
  - DarthLord on 26/02/2019 - 14:07
    
    Seems like a good value on this 6mths, few months later can still choose other deal if there's better
    
    I'm not concern of 5g as I'm using older phone.
- lovepub on 26/02/2019 - 19:45
  
  This is a better deal in my opinion with larger data pack.

Just clarifying, if I want around 4-5gb per month and unlimited national calls and SMS but couldn't care less about international calls, this 80gb plan is still the best deal going?
- bidam1 on 26/02/2019 - 11:45
  
  eh, its still decent but the international calls is probably the big winner of this deal IMO
- netsurfer on 26/02/2019 - 11:49

  Technically, no. The Optus $120 for the Epic Value $180 special discount is cheaper (but without international calls and texts). But, Boost (through Telstra network) is much better. Not to mention that if they continued this plan next year, it will be $150 (this) vs $180 (Optus - very unlikely you get any discount as an "existing" customer then).
  
  To me $30 over a year to use Telstra instead of Optus network is already attractive. The international calls and texts is a nice extra bonus.

I just switched to Telstra prepaid after many months on Optus and surprisingly I find the Telstra network pretty unreliable in Melbourne. My new Telstra prepaid often uses the ancient 3G to access data, an icon I haven't seen on my phone in years. My partner has exactly the same issues in Docklands. I never had this problem with nither MVNOs on Optus or Vodafone. Anyone else?

  Coverage varies everywhere so saying 'unreliable in Melbourne' makes no sense at all. For instance, in particular parts of Melbourne I get full Telstra coverage whereas Vodafone/Optus struggle to get a single bar of coverage at the same time. If you have issues in your area of coverage then switch.
