    this Boost deal, is a very good deal.

    i just think Telstra are trying to lock in all these customers,
    onto their 4G network, while they release 5G plans within 6+ months.

    this is just a guess, because when new 5G phones/plans come out,
    there'll be new customers looking to re-contract, and they will probably choose the 5G phones
    and then when these Boost 12-month plans expire in March 2020, they will be ready to re-sign
    on 5G Boost or Telstra.

    • netsurfer on 26/02/2019 - 12:19

      It's Telstra responding to Optus' Epic Value 180 plan. Telstra still want the profit so they don't want to match it themselves. Belong's system is too lousy. So Boost get to do the work and attempt to get the customers. Otherwise, people will churn to Optus.

    Did telstra just updated their prepaid plan as well?
    It was crazily expensive before.. now still is expensive, but much better..

    $300 150gb for 12 months and 20 countries unlimited calls
    Works out to be $25 per month for 12.5gb

  • Aemit on 26/02/2019 - 12:11

    are the international calls per month?

    • netsurfer on 26/02/2019 - 12:14

      Unlimited international calls and texts for 12 months.

      • Aemit on 26/02/2019 - 13:19

        was asking for the other group of countries 1200 mins per month?

        • netsurfer on 26/02/2019 - 13:51

          On average $100 per month (for calls and texts to countries not included in the unlimited international). You can derive this from looking at other plans.

          However, it is actually $1200 for the duration of the contract so if you really want to, you can use $1200 all up in a month.

          • Aemit on 26/02/2019 - 15:29

            @netsurfer: says 1200 standard minutes…so 100 mins per month?

            • Fexofenadine on 27/02/2019 - 14:32

              @Aemit: Yes that's how I interpreted it.

              @Aemit: I thought it means 1200 standard minutes(international) to use within 12 months and not 100 mins per month?

              • Fexofenadine on 28/02/2019 - 01:17

                @ATTS: Sorry… yes I agree with Triton. On average 100 minutes a month but you can use all 1200 minutes the first day if you wanted.

  • peuwayaqdq on 26/02/2019 - 12:24

    So how does the voucher works? Is it a recharge voucher which then can be used even on existing Boost number?

    For example if I am porting from another provider, can I port it with $2 SIM and make sure it ported successfully before I apply the voucher? Thanks.

    • salrock on 26/02/2019 - 23:40

      Yes. Buy sim, install boost app and recharge 150 dollars. Done

  • quappz on 26/02/2019 - 12:25

    Does anyone know the Ip address you get assigned and if it is a Public IP? If not, which provider gives you a public ip so that I can reach it remotely?

  • Vitus16 on 26/02/2019 - 12:27

    To the guys who might still in another plan and want to purchase this plan later.

    According to the reply from their customer service, the expiry date for these prepaid plans till up to 29th Oct 2019, so I suppose you can have that anytime before the expiry date.

  • zzymurgy on 26/02/2019 - 12:42

    Great deal, but give 80GB to kids and they're just going to burn right through it.

    Can anyone recommend a similar plan with data monthly, rather than yearly?

    • ChickenAdobo on 26/02/2019 - 12:50

      They have 28 days 65 GB monthly.

    • zzymurgy on 26/02/2019 - 12:57

      Boost is $12.50 for 6.66GB per month, Kogan currently offers 3GB for $12.66.
      It seems like Boost is better value, until you have to buy another pack when the data runs out.

      • sitdowndisco on 26/02/2019 - 13:09

        Why is it worse value when the data runs out?

        • bchliu on 26/02/2019 - 13:34
          +1

          I think what they are saying is you get access to the full 80GB from day dot of signing onto this plan and you could basically use up all your data on the first day. As opposed to other providers that give you a smaller set amount per month to ensure you dont use it in one go.

        • zzymurgy on 26/02/2019 - 13:38
          +1

          The credit expires after 12 months or 80GB, whichever is sooner. If you burn through the whole 80GB, you pay another $150 each time.
          With Kogan you get half as much data per month, but you won't pay any more than $152 per year.

          So it comes down to how much control you have over your data usage.

          • bargainfinder on 26/02/2019 - 14:04

            @zzymurgy: Or you could still ultilise the unlimited calls locals and international and not using mobile data for the remaining time of the plan :)

    • aragornelessar on 26/02/2019 - 13:26

      Do their phones have a data restriction? Some handsets can turn off data once they reach the set threshold after a month. Not sure how accurately it counts the data though

      • zzymurgy on 26/02/2019 - 13:42

        Good idea, but not sure it works in reality. There is always a way to get around them.

  • placard on 26/02/2019 - 12:58

    Currently with Aldi mobile.

    How do I change to Boost? Since Aldi is with Telstra, do I need to request they post out a blank sim first?

  • Baniya on 26/02/2019 - 13:29

    How does international roaming work? If I’m heading overseas, I buy the $5 add on and that gives me 500MB. So if I want 2GB, do I buy the $5 add on, four times? Can you do that? Or do you have to wait for the add on to run out first?

    • FiXXXeR on 26/02/2019 - 13:36

      You can do that, and the data will stack but expiry date won't.

    • kiwiinoz on 26/02/2019 - 13:36
      +1

      I just had a chat with agent and she said new addons coming on site by evening….
      I am heading overseas soon and she said do 2 addons - 1 for $5 to enable roaming and then another $15 for international calling rates and you get your plan data plus free incoming calls and outgoing calls(if that country is on free to dial list in Australia)….so $20 you are sorted for a month….I am just waiting for website to update and see the addons for myself…its too good to be true….
      Here is the link - https://boost.com.au/blog/2017/10/30/add-ons/.....scroll down and click on rates…At the moment it is not working as they are updating the site apparently….

      • netsurfer on 26/02/2019 - 14:08

        Given that it is prepaid, you will either be able to use it or not (I don't think Boost can charge your credit card automatically). However, on whirlpool, people reported the $5 roaming pack gets you 500MB data while overseas. Are you sure about the ability to use your data from your plan and the unlimited calls from your plan while overseas? Seems too good to be true.

    • Baniya on 26/02/2019 - 14:11

      I just spoke with a customer rep and there are no data provisions whatsoever on international roaming. The $5 credit is for calls and text only whilst overseas. So you would have to stick to local wifi or an international sim if you wanted data overseas… :(

      • FiXXXeR on 26/02/2019 - 14:57
        +1

        Dual-SIM phones are pretty much essential if you travel. Local SIMs are generally easy to come by in a lot of countries, and would be far more cost-effective anyway for data.

  • Owgasm on 26/02/2019 - 14:05

    If you don’t need international calls is the Optus one everyone is talking about the better option?

    $180 on Optus page is this this correct?
    Does that have free streaming?

    • netsurfer on 26/02/2019 - 14:18
      +2

      Assuming you get the Optus one for $120, this Boost plan is simply $2.5 more per month, but you get 1.67 GB extra per month (on average), unlimited international calls and texts to selected country, $1200 worth of calls and texts to countries not in the free list. For me, Telstra network coverage is much better for me (at work, as soon as I reached the area with lifts, Optus and Voda has zero coverage; on the train, Optus data is a pain to use).

      Unless Optus' coverage is great for you, you are better off with this one (I wish I did not go for the Epic 180, much prefer to have this one). Optus Epic Value plan does NOT have streaming bonus on those 3 sites (only Epic Data has that).

      • Owgasm on 26/02/2019 - 16:14

        Thank you.
        The only other worry I would have is using up the 240gb in the 365 days.
        Do you know if this has data packages to add on

      • Owgasm on 26/02/2019 - 16:16

        I’ve never had a plan that wasn’t Spotify data free. Worried that I’ll eat it up with Spotify.

      • kaikor on 26/02/2019 - 23:04

        Wonderful, our BOGOF from Kogan last year about to expire in May, this will be the best deal for two of us to switch over, only disadvantage is losing 13gb/mth data down to only 6.6666gb/mth. Unless Kogan is having special recharge for existing customers, otherwise I will be jumping over to this.

        • AlienC on 27/02/2019 - 06:56

          I am in the same boat but I have been using less than 6gb a month consistently roughly so this is a ripper of a deal especially with the unlimited international extras compared to Kogan.

          Still got two months to see what else comes out between now and my recharge date.

          Honestly just want one that can do multiple years and not have to bother with it yearly.. I honestly would maybe pay extra for that.. I think there was one mobile carrier that does that but I forgot which one now.

          • kaikor on 27/02/2019 - 09:21

            @AlienC: Exactly, all these providers should do some 5 or even 10 years super deals for those like me who hate to worry about recharging every now and then.

          I felt that he was showing off with Apple Watch. Frankly, as an Apple user, I don't see the big deal about it. It was more about this comment:

          But it’s an awesome deal for an Android user for sure.

          The truth is, it is an awesome deal for Apple users too. RRP for Apple Watch is only $599. That's not even enough to cover the cost of my car rego for a year.

      • auna on 26/02/2019 - 15:07

        Visual Voicemail doesn’t work on Boost and neither does VoLTE (I tried finding out 100% but found only posts from a few months back confirming no still). I’m not sure if wifi calling also doesn’t work either.

      At least to 1 country, and as per kururii, it should be covered for all.

    https://boost.com.au/shop/100-prepaid/ seems worth it to renew every 6 months - 120gb $200 - 10GB per month much more value than amaysim - good solution to finding a middle-ground on the 12 month deals

    If I can buy it and not activate for 2 more months (my contract ends), I'd be all over this.

    Now it's a bit risky.

    I don't want to miss out, but if I buy it now, I will lose 2 months.

        I ended up taking on the Woolworths S10 deal, so I'm contracted for 2 years. But this would be a good deal with a BYO phone.
