    data free music streaming

    Wait what which music streaming service this is pretty much all I use my data for.. Well and sometimes to watch the music videos but hey if we get free data music streaming I'll switch to that.

    I wonder if it includes downloading the songs for offline play if you have the premium plan with said service.

    Anyone know which music streaming service it is or is it all of them? Highly unlikely.

        For me it's the only reliable network when you go into shopping centers (especially underground or multi storey) and hospitals / rehab centers.

        If you go to remote areas it's the only network with reception at all.

    • cycleri3 on 27/11/2019 - 08:04

      if you can get 4G signal then its fine, but when it drops to 3G its slow - Have Telstra has refarmed their 3G capacity and now its mostly for calls?

      I was on Kogan (Vodafone) before and it performed better in CBD for 3g and 4g. But Boost is miles better in the outer suburbs. There was no reception at Hanging rock for example but Telstra has full bars.

      Yes my phone does have B28.

        That's the expiry of the SIM. The activation window is longer (can be up to 2021) so you can buy it now and hold onto it until your current one expires.

    • lostn on 26/11/2019 - 09:56

      yes.

    • Cucumber123 on 26/11/2019 - 10:50

      No.

      These are starter packs not recharges so you would have to port out and back in to use, and even if it was the recharge voucher (like often goes on sale at Coles), it wouldn’t extend your expiry it would wipe out whatever you’ve got remaining and start a new 12 months.

  • PukeyLuke on 26/11/2019 - 10:27

    There seems to be a few questions about the Boost coverage in comparison to Telstra, the answer, Boost Mobile is identical to Telstra in speed and coverage.
    The following is from Whirlpool Wiki site; NETWORK, The service is provided over Telstra's full 3G & 4G networks.
    Coverage is equivalent to Telstra, and Boost Mobile customers have full, unrestricted access to all Telstra towers. Boost are the only Telstra-equivalent MVNO.
    While there have previously been debates on Whirlpool (and elsewhere) suggesting Boost customers have capped speeds, these statements are anecdotal and incorrect.
    Just as with Telstra Prepaid, users receive full speeds (unlike other Telstra MVNOs where speed is capped at 100mbps).
    Unlike other Telstra resellers, Boost accesses the full Telstra 4G network including 4GX.
    The following is from the Boost Mobile website; Boost Mobile is on the full Telstra Mobile Network. With Boost you’ll get 3G and 4G coverage on the Telstra Mobile Network.

    • dlovep on 26/11/2019 - 22:24

      Been using over past 5 months, at train stations Town Hall & Central the reception can be vary, one day full the other day only 1 bar, same phone same waiting spot for train. While Optus seems more stable on 3 or full bar. Also a few dead spots in the office while com's mobile on Telstra has no issue and always full bar, swap sim and result same as Telstra always full bar.

      Would feel like a gap filler or lower priority when compare to Telstra, tried yourself before sign up for 1 year, the $30/$40 packs randomly on half price.

      Not true - if you have your current plan setup correctly AND you enter all the correct details when you sign up the porting process is really quick (mine was less than 20 minutes).

      • dlovep on 26/11/2019 - 22:14

        depends on your personal detail in Gov database, I port 4 in only 2 works, last 2 took over 3 tries on chat and finally phone call to sort out.

          +1

          What do you mean by Gov database? I've ported many times over the years and It's worked every single time without fail. Some are quicker than others but it all comes down to how long they take to initiate the request and your personal details (name, DOB and account number if required).

      yes - but you need to either:

      OR (the method I used)
      port out to VF or other
      then port back in

  • Stimps on 26/11/2019 - 11:40

    The 12 month plan rocks. $36 a month with a brand new Galaxy every 2 years.

    • BlueMM on 26/11/2019 - 13:17

      Huh, how does that work? (I think I'm missing something)

    • Benjamin Dobell on 26/11/2019 - 13:59

      A new Galaxy phone for $594 (80GB plan) or even better $324 (240GB plan). Now that'd be a deal worth sharing!

      Unfortunately, I think you may have miscalculated ;)

    • Stimps on 26/11/2019 - 14:10

      Buy S10 from Samsung EPP $900, sell old galaxy on eBay $300 +2 yrs boost 12 mth $270 = $870 over 2 years.

      • Benjamin Dobell on 26/11/2019 - 16:17

        Including the sale price of old device is probably a smidge misleading. As you could apply that logic to any phone plan (rental plans have gone by the wayside), its subject to sale price, assumes the phone doesn't get smashed etc. and there are also people like me who like to keep their old phones and/or pass them on to family etc.

        However, all in all though, that sounds like a reasonable plan. However, this S10 for $900 you speak of… EPP? Employee Purchase Program?

        I suppose one would have to be a Samsung employee to get in on that?

        • Stimps on 26/11/2019 - 16:43

          Enhanced Partnership Program, only available to employees of companies that have a partnership with Samsung. Great deals come up for everyone though, like the s10e deal that was just posted at JB for $799.

      • PukeyLuke on 29/11/2019 - 12:03

        @Stimps This makes a lot of sense to me and I try to do similar. I'm a bit of a Pixel fanboy and I buy a new Pixel each year usually within 2 months of being released then I sell my old Pixel on eBay with the remainder of a 2 year warranty. Obviously this idea works with any phone, iPhone Samsung whatever. So by Christmas a deal will come out where the Pixel is on sale for around $1,000, so I buy it, keep the receipt, never touch the contents of the box as I already have fast chargers and cables and I don't like the in ear headphones, so when I sell it on eBay I get at least $500 for it, as buyers like a phone with warranty and the contents of the box untouched. Anyhow I always sell the phone when eBay has one of their regular sell free or sell for $1 promos. So with this Boost plan and paying for the phone, it puts me at under $55 per month for a new flagship phone each year and over 6GB data each month.
        Dropping the phone and smashing the screen would wreak havoc on my tightwad master plan!!

    I have received a Boost blank SIM in preparation for porting over from Telstra.
    Can I take advantage of these "starter kit" discounts, or must I opt for a full-price recharge?

    • Benjamin Dobell on 26/11/2019 - 16:23

      I have the same concern. However, your safest bet is to run into Coles (today is the last day) and pickup a $150 recharge for $135:

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/497201

      • Viper8 on 26/11/2019 - 17:06

        Trouble is the value for that is less than 240GB for $300 as someone that uses lots of data

        • Benjamin Dobell on 26/11/2019 - 17:09

          True. I read in another thread that someone had success contacting Boost support and redeeming two $150 recharges as a single $300 recharge. Can't really verify the validity of the claim, and assuming it did work, that it still works.

  • delfredo on 26/11/2019 - 13:05

    Thanks.

  • Benjamin Dobell on 26/11/2019 - 13:35

    When you try purchase:

    We will be back online shortly

    Well, that's not reassuring. Also the "24x7" live chat is down…

  • Benjamin Dobell on 26/11/2019 - 13:41

    So, the whole "blank sim required" thing, porting from Telstra…

    Has anyone not used a blank SIM, and instead used a regular Boost SIM? If so what happened?

    The reason I ask is last time I was with Boost (~3 years ago) I intentionally activated a Telstra prepaid SIM card on Boost; had to contact Boost support to do this. In doing so it gave me access to Telstra's 4G network, where as at the time Boost were 3G only.

    So what I'm asking is, will not using a blank SIM actually cause the service to not work, or will it simply confuse Telstra's systems into granting you access to things you shouldn't have access to?

    • myoda on 26/11/2019 - 13:59

      For the $300 recharge I received a sim with $300 on it.

      For the $150 plan I purchase a $2 boost sim in the same transaction, activate the $2 Sim and then top it up using the voucher code to. All this and porting can be done in the same web sign up session.

    • Benjamin Dobell on 26/11/2019 - 15:04
      +2

      To answer my own question…

      https://community.boost.com.au/t5/Recharge-Network-Support/A…

      It seems that by not using a blank SIM you'll run into an issue sending SMS. Specifically, it sends SMS from the phone number associated with the starter bundle SIM, rather than the number you've ported across to Boost.

  • Phamon on 26/11/2019 - 14:39

    Please ignore my ignorance but the data is the total for the whole plan and not monthly right?

    • poboy on 26/11/2019 - 16:02

      Correct. Data is for the life of the plan, not monthly.

    • Ninja9 on 27/11/2019 - 20:25

      Did you need to port to blank sim first?

      • rictee on 27/11/2019 - 23:37

        Yes but that was the final step. Just one port Telstra prepaid into the blank SIM.

        • Ninja9 on 28/11/2019 - 18:39

          what were the steps?
          1. Call Telstra to switch from postpaid to prepaid
          2. Do you need to top up prepaid so you can reply to the sms confirmation
          3. Port from prepaid to Boost blank
          4. Wait for the switch over
          5. Done

          • rictee on 29/11/2019 - 08:39

            @Ninja9: Pretty much. Call up Boost to request for a blank SIM first. May take a few days to get it. That way you don't lose any connection.

      1. Call this number (Telstra) 1800 100 933 and say I want to "port from Telstra to Boost Mobile, I need a special blank Boost Mobile SIM"

      2. blank sim will arrive

      3. Call 1258887 from your telstra phone to "switch to prepaid sim to port from telstra to Boost" (this was a bit annoying to get through the call centre)

      4. Wait a few hours for PREPAID to show up in your telstra app

      5. Call Boost on 1800 026 678 to activate

      6. Swap SIMs when your Telstra SIM goes dead.

      7. Call them back after it activates to transfer the credit you bought over (have to do this after you have an activated service.

      IT'S THAT EASY….

    If it helps anyone, I ported from Belong Mobile to Boost today. I kept getting errors on the usual activate boost website, so I just went through the "chat" and gave all the usual details. Name, DOB, driver licence, number, provider (Belong & Prepaid is what I declared - others have said to state it's postpaid. I had success stating it's prepaid. YMMV). Initiated through chat at 2.29pm and was completed by 5.00pm. Boost Sim card now in and working as expected.
