Was looking for a good NBN alternative mobile data plan and came across these very reasonable 'Endless Data' (capped at 1.5mbps) offerings from Vodafone. The showstopper is the 120GB full speed for $65/mth, a full 35% cheaper than this popular deal posted last year. 1.5mbps should be fine for web browsing and SD video in a 1-2 person household.

    What’s this business with 75-100% cashback? That must be a mistake.

      "Cashback value is based on the percentage of one month's payment for plans…"

      So it's 75-100% of one month's cost.

    It's a decent offering if you need mobility / that on the go freedom. But if not, and its just in the home, then deals from Optus and their re-sellers for Mobile Broadband are much better. i.e. 200GB 4G for $65.

    That being said, every location is different. I primarily use vodafone myself and where i live due to apartment density and where the towers are my devices stupidly attach to a congested tower which for whatever reason seems to provide better in-building penetration, but at a crap speed, lucky to get 20mbps on a good day. Stick it out the window it connects to a different tower get minimum 60mbps. Was over at a relo's house recently using my same device and hit over 300mbps on Vodafone - almost spat my beer across the table in shock! Location, location, location.

    ovo $35 for 50gb

    no endless data

    • Kill Joy on 26/08/2019 - 21:02

      What is OVO like though? Good coverage?

      • StrayfireX on 26/08/2019 - 21:27

        Optus. However well Optus does in your area.

        Vodafone is best where I live, followed by Telstra then Optus. YMMV.

    Great deal, especially not having to worry about going over and having to pay $10 per extra gigabyte or something ridiculous like that.

    Note however, at 1.5mbps it would take just over an hour and a half to download 1 gigabyte.

    • Mitch889 on 27/08/2019 - 08:18

      Forget how far we’ve come sometimes. The idea it would take that long to download 1GB seems hilarious, but I still remember when I was a kid trying to download 15MB on a really poor dialup connection before the 4 hr time limit.

        Definitely, I used to make sure all my porn files were under 5mb

  • bjdchwr on 26/08/2019 - 20:04

    If you just want to use endless data, you'd better off Telstra.
    They are cheaper - just $15 for 5GB then slow down.

    • dcep on 26/08/2019 - 20:34

      which one ?

    • Rumbaar on 26/08/2019 - 20:43

      Do you have a link for this $15 for 5GB plan with Telstra?

          Hmm interesting. You also get Telstra air included in these plans which apparently doesn't use your allocated data.
          So could you buy the $15/month one and just use the neighbours Telstra Air hotspot all the time?

          • Steptoe on 26/08/2019 - 21:41

            @sharkfan12: You can get Air on the long life prepaid if you just want Air at home.

          • bjdchwr on 26/08/2019 - 21:48

            @sharkfan12: Yup.

            I am using a $19 plan which includes 10G data when I got a promotion from JB. It was meant to be on $25 plan.

            Love this plan.

            • dcep on 26/08/2019 - 22:19

              @bjdchwr: do you know if the sim can be put in modem for home broadband use ?

              • user01 on 26/08/2019 - 22:43

                @dcep: think so, this is a data only plan. "Bring your own tablet or mobile broadband device, "

              • bjdchwr on 26/08/2019 - 22:57
                +2

                @dcep: Yes I am using it in a Telstra unlocked modem.
                Never had an issue.

                Last month my colleague borrowed it and she used more than 50G or the data.

                The only issue for this SIM is you cannot use this on a mobile phone as the network will detect the device, presumably using TCP header packet or HTTP agent, then disable the data feature.

                You can use it in a tablet or modem.

                • Nom8352 on 26/08/2019 - 23:38

                  @bjdchwr: the sim can be used in 4G modem? and connect 4G? 1.5mb still faster than my adsl2 0.5mb.

                  It's based off the IMEI.

            • codinghelloworld on 27/08/2019 - 20:20

              @bjdchwr: Just curious, is this plan still available? I looked on JB site but cannot find it.

          • b3au on 27/08/2019 - 09:59

            @sharkfan12: Air from a neighbour's access point is only 2/1mbps, but I guess technically it's faster than the 1.5mbps, probably not in practice though. :-) https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/telstra_air

            • dcep on 27/08/2019 - 14:38

              @b3au: Do you know if feasible to use Air 24/7 ?

              Or does it time-out and requires login every sessions

          • Wardaddy on 30/08/2019 - 16:01

            @sharkfan12: Air is limited to 5 MBPS.

  • scuderiarmani on 26/08/2019 - 20:06

    Aren't they JB BYO plans better with a gift card? Not to mention, Telstra.

    I get the shaping but I couldn't imagine being restricted to 1.5mbps in 2019. Isn't 3G good for a little over 3mbps? It's a shame they couldn't have used that for shaping.

    • bjdchwr on 26/08/2019 - 22:59

      or maybe buy two of $15 Telstra plan then you can multi-wan the two services together - now you get 3Mbps when you download or watch Youtube. lol

        I was thinking if that was possible.
        Unlimited 3mps for $30/month. Not bad for light users

      • DogGunn on 27/08/2019 - 15:10

        Might not be possible if they're on the same subnet.

  • Thundaja on 27/08/2019 - 01:24

    Sorry to be that guy, but these aren’t on sale though? This is the normal price on their website and it’s pretty on-par with the competition’s standard prices too - maybe marginally better, but you’d expect as much if you went Voda over Optus/Telstra.

    1.5 Mbps isn’t as much as you think it is either. You’ll realistically get less - and good luck dividing that bandwidth up between 2 people, even with web browsing.

  • IMadeYouReadThis on 27/08/2019 - 07:58

    Not really a deal IMO but thanks for posting OP!

    I just buy the $4.90 Kogan Starter Sim which gives you 40GB to use within 30 days https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-mobile-prepaid-voucher-co…

    Once I run out, I just buy and activate a new one (I buy a few in advance)- it only takes a few mins to set up. Even though it's meant to be for "new customers", I just select the option that I'm a "new customer" and it seems to work just fine. I've activated about 15 or so of them and they haven't said anything yet lol.

    I don't need the speed but it seems pretty fast and runs on the Voda network :)

    • mr_vino89 on 27/08/2019 - 16:14

      edit: I don't know the speed*

    • upper69 on 27/08/2019 - 16:21

      Cool. I thought Kogan only allows to use 5 of these sim cards per person?

  • willz on 27/08/2019 - 08:34

    isn't this the price on their website? doesn't seem to be a deal to me.$45 for 30GB is below average value.

  • minicat on 27/08/2019 - 10:18

    1.5 Mbps is way too slow. My NBN is 45mbps.

    • cv05 on 27/08/2019 - 16:44

      Did you read the bit about how that is the shaped speed?

  • isaiah247 on 16/09/2019 - 20:57

    Can i get feedback from anyone that took up the 80/120GB deals? Is Vodafone's coverage good?

  • isaiah247 on 16/09/2019 - 21:04

    How long is this deal expected to be available for?

  • modsec802 on 12/02/2020 - 21:24
