Couldn't see this posted anywhere, so thought I'd share it with you as it's the exact plan I'm on. Great value, especially with free AFL/NRL, data rollover, data-free Apple Music streaming etc. Utilises Telstra's 4G network. Critical information summary here. Enjoy :)

Note: Pricing is for 28 days, but choosing auto-recharge provides full month as recharge is set for the same day of each month.

    Thanks TA, saw this "15GB bonus data on $30, $40 $50, $70: For Boost customers only who activate or swap to Boost Anytime Plus from 14 May 2019. First recharge by 8 July 2019, with remaining four recharges by 31 October 2019." below

  • Etheral Point on 06/06/2019 - 20:23

    oooh damn.
    I've still got many months left on my 80gb 12 month recharge

    • Al123 on 06/06/2019 - 20:42

      11 months

    • dddp on 07/06/2019 - 07:03

      don't know about you but one of mine is going to run out of data before the 12mths is up - 68gb to go 9mths

      • elli0t on 07/06/2019 - 23:06

        I'm 2 months in and have used 2gb lol. I'm on Wi-Fi most of the time so it suits me pretty well

  • uncyspam on 06/06/2019 - 20:23

    Unless its changed, Data Rollover only applies to the next month. So it's not data banking like is offered on many other plans.

      Thank you for the heads up :)
      If this is the case, then the Telstra data banking is still quite enticing given you can retain the the residual balance as long as you have an active recharge
      Thoughts?

      • sween64 on 06/06/2019 - 22:49

        But Boost gives more data for the same recharge amount. Depends on actual usage and if there's any seasonality.

  • Spending2Much on 06/06/2019 - 20:35

    Says next extra data for next 5 recharges, but also says, before 31/10
    I'm out of Telstra contract begin of July, so I'll only get 3 recharges before 31sf Oct

  • Gil Gunderson on 06/06/2019 - 20:37

    If I’m an existing boost customer, do I have to buy another sim ? Or just recharge for $30 on my phone ?

    • sween64 on 06/06/2019 - 22:52

      Make sure you are on the Anytime Plus offer then recharge $30. If you're an existing customer you won't receive the bonus 15GB only the 20GB.

  • karmax on 06/06/2019 - 20:38

    I'm tempted, I've been on koganmobiles cheapest plan for ages but it's expiring in 13 days and I've just started a new job and coverage sucks, does anyone know if I order it now does it activate straight away or when I get the sim I activate it then.

    • CC123 on 06/06/2019 - 20:39

      From memory, you need to manually activate it, so when you get the sim

    • kooldavid on 07/06/2019 - 10:10

      I recently switched from Optus to Boost late last month on this same offer. During my switch, I had to call them as the online portal didn't allow me to transfer my Optus number to Boost. The call centre sorted that issue and I was ported over to Boost on the new sim card in less than 10 minutes.
      when my wife switched over on the following week, she was able to use the online portal to transfer her number across and she was able to use the Boost sim card within 10 minutes.
      Basically to answer your question, the sim card will activate with a new number once you placed the sim card in. If you do not wish to use the new number provided by Boost, you will need to go to the online portal like we did and begin the transfer of your own number.

    Is $300 240Gb for a year a better deal?

    https://boost.com.au/plans/#Long-Expiry

    • FTTNope on 06/06/2019 - 21:03
      +5

      At $25/mth and the same amount of data over 12 months, I'd say the yearly recharge is the way to go.

    • sween64 on 06/06/2019 - 23:01
      +1

      Depends how much data you want, that's only 20GB/month instead of 35GB/month for 5 months then 20GB/month for the next 7. $25/month instead of $30.

      What kills your suggestion is the 12 month commitment, that's a long time in the prepaid world.

    • PukeyLuke on 06/06/2019 - 23:15
      +1

      The $300 240Gb for a year plan gives you $25 for 20GB per month, or you could go for the
      $30 for 35GB per 28 days (or monthly 30/31 days when you auto recharge) for the first 5 recharges.
      What many people don't realise is that the 28 day plans become monthly plans
      if you auto recharge adding an extra 2 or 3 days to your plan at no extra charge!!
      It's worth paying on time, the other advantage is your plan will always finish on the same day of the month,
      therefore you're more likely to remember how long you need your data to last for.

  • intruhvurted on 06/06/2019 - 21:26

    is has free AFL/NRL? i'm on the exact plan, how to i access it?

    • JoJoker on 06/06/2019 - 21:40

      AFL Live app – automatically recognises that you're on the telstra network

    • sween64 on 06/06/2019 - 23:02

      Free access each year and unmetered streaming.

  • JoJoker on 06/06/2019 - 21:41

    Signed up my partner to this. The only equivalent plan I found was with Belong but this one won because of included international calls, in our case.

    • intruhvurted on 06/06/2019 - 21:46
      +1

      its a great deal. been on it for a while, and reguarly roll over 5-10GB of data, so from month to month i'm never running out

    • dddp on 07/06/2019 - 07:10

      does belong use the full telstra network like boost does though?

      • Nurcopolics on 07/06/2019 - 08:27
        -1

        Yes

      • sween64 on 07/06/2019 - 12:01
        +1

        No.

        Belong operates on part of the Telstra mobile network link

        That usually means the Telstra Wholesale network not the Telstra Retail network. Telstra and Boost use the retail network. Woolworths, Aldi, and I'm pretty sure Belong use the wholesale network.

      • Munki Kundi on 11/07/2019 - 09:26

        No

  • HunterBargainHunter on 06/06/2019 - 22:19

    I am on the fence, this or aldi as both use Telstra. being able to call UAE like I do now on vodafail would be an advantage.

    • pevo01 on 06/06/2019 - 22:33

      Boost utilises the full telstra network. Aldi is on the telstra wholesale network which doesn't have as good coverage.

      • sween64 on 06/06/2019 - 23:11
        +2

        full Telstra network includes 5G according to early reports. Budget prepaid on 5G is amazing

  • jelko on 06/06/2019 - 22:47

    Does Boost come with A-League access as well?

    • sween64 on 06/06/2019 - 23:04

      Most likely. Anything Telstra gets Boost usually gets.

    • JerryB on 07/06/2019 - 22:10

      I swapped to Boost when this deal was on and I successfully registered the Live Passes for the AFL, AFL Women's, NRL, My Football and Netball Live apps. I have not tested to see if they stream data-free. So far I watched one AFL game over wi-fi.

  • sween64 on 06/06/2019 - 23:04

    Apple Music is unmetered but you still need to have a paid subscription.

    • Bellpop on 08/06/2019 - 12:29

      Beats 1 streaming is free

  • Oxygenzero on 07/06/2019 - 05:14

    $100 for 6 months x 60 gigs will have afl/nrl subscription ?

    • sween64 on 07/06/2019 - 11:59

      Yes. Sports streaming available to all Boost offers.

  • [Deactivated] on 07/06/2019 - 07:59

    would like to know as well. I'm assuming so.

  • Rajgowda on 07/06/2019 - 09:45

    Correct me if I'm wrong, Telstra seems to have the same plan on its website.
    https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/prepaid-mobiles/40-…

    • realfancyman on 07/06/2019 - 10:23

      No, the 10GB bonus is only for the first 3 recharges. This plan is permanent 20GB with 35GB for the first 5 recharges.

      • Rajgowda on 07/06/2019 - 11:22

        Thank you!

    • absolutlegend on 07/06/2019 - 10:37

      Thats a $40 recharge, where the sim purchase with first month is $30 as a promotion, but the monthly recharge is $40

      • Rajgowda on 07/06/2019 - 11:20

        Didn't know this. Thank you!

  • Pinchy on 07/06/2019 - 12:26

    Nice - Where’s does it say free NRL streaming?
    And Apple Music isn’t free - just the data you use is free.. might wanna change that OP.

    • realfancyman on 07/06/2019 - 12:30

      It is not advertised but does work in practice. Could change but knowing Telstra I doubt it

    • JerryB on 07/06/2019 - 22:06

      AFL, AFL Women's, NRL, My Football and Netball Live apps think you are a Telstra customer so you get the Live Pass for free. I have not tested to see if they stream data-free. So far I watched one game over wi-fi.
      Some of the auto SMS and MMS messages have actually come from Telstra instead of Boost so the level of separation between the two companies isn't clear.

      • sween64 on 08/06/2019 - 16:54

        I can confirm AFL streaming is data free on Boost.

  • utsc on 07/06/2019 - 12:38

    240GB $300 365 day plan will be better value for those who are willing to pay upfront for a 1 year plan

  • Charity on 07/06/2019 - 21:26
    +2

    Hmmm… $30/m is a lot in 2019. Especially for professional bargain hunters.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/06/2019 - 01:08

    Anyone know if current boost customers can upgrade to this for free?

    • sween64 on 08/06/2019 - 16:55

      The 20GB yes, the bonus 15GB no. Unless you port out and back in.

  • Bakelite on 08/06/2019 - 03:11

    Even if you sign up tomorrow you'll only get 4 of the 5 recharges though yeah?

  • payless69 on 08/06/2019 - 09:46

    thanks TA,
    looks like the first Telstra bargain in a while. Clicking on crit info reveals also 2 viable 12 months offers.
    Leaves Coles 12mo for dead. To be honest their data counter is way slow so got about double the data out of them so not that bad. O'seas roaming is dismal.

    Currently on Telechoice but yuck it is really castrated, requires prefix input to even dial a local number. Zero O'seas roam.

  • i37 on 12/06/2019 - 07:21

    Does Boost get access to the same speeds as Telstra post paid?

    • omgitzrick on 12/06/2019 - 15:40

      I just spoke to Boost’s 24x7 chat and they assured me the speeds are not restricted in any way. Not sure if that’s true or not, but I’ve saved the chatlog in case the performance sucks.

  • omgitzrick on 12/06/2019 - 11:16

    My wife and I are both coming out of contract with Telstra tomorrow after being with them for about 16 years. I hit them up on chat for a decent retention deal and they just pointed me to the standard plans, which are not competitive at all… So is this the best option on the Telstra network for this level of data? I don't care about overseas stuff, just unlimited calls/texts in Aus, and a decent amount of data.

  • iversonjack on 12/06/2019 - 13:31

    Can you port from TPG prepaid to this if I purchase the prepaid Boost sim online or over the counter?
