      If one agent tells you its possible, copy all the conversation and refer back to it when they try to refuse you.

    • Fullhalter on 22/02/2020 - 16:51

      The $2 sim + $150 recharge don't get the extra 40GB.

      • Indi24 on 22/02/2020 - 22:57

        What does this mean? Agent suggested me to do it…gave reference number.

        • Fullhalter on 23/02/2020 - 00:42

          Go for it. But boost agents told me to get a $150 starter sim for the 80gb+40gb bonus. A $2 sim + $150 voucher can only get 80gb. They would not let me have the extra data no matter how politely I asked…ymmv

    Activated a sim 6:30am this morning before I read about this deal. The activation was simple and easy (was worried after hearing all those stories…) and service was happening within 1 hour including porting. After seeing this post, decided to check the remaining data on the app and saw 120GB. Quite happy so far.

    I activated a $2 dollar sim that I bought from coles and then recharged $150 for 80 GB last Wednesday. Today, after seeing this post, I contacted Boost chat and requested them to honour the bonus data. She refused initially but when I requested her 2nd time very politely, she asked her team leader and approved my requested! So, I ended up getting the bonus data. :)

    • edrift on 18/02/2020 - 12:49

      Similar story for me, but the bonus data isn't appearing yet. Did you see it in your account?

      • Yankyviking on 18/02/2020 - 14:23

        Is it not appearing after dialing #111# or *111# ? If no, contact them again to ask for it.

    • Fullhalter on 22/02/2020 - 16:57

      They guys refused my request saying the $150 was a recharge, not the $150 sim starter kit.

    • discountguy on 29/02/2020 - 10:51

      Ported to Optus with a Coles sim, got the confirmation, tried to port back to Boost online and get an error telling me to contact Boost.
      (We're experiencing some technical difficulties completing your activation, but we're working on it. Please try again later, or contact 24x7 Chat)
      Boost say the number is still with them. Weird.
      I wait overnight but still the same problem. About to call Boost …. grrrr

      • discountguy on 29/02/2020 - 11:16

        Just spoke to Boost. They are saying because I bought the sims from OW I not eligible for the 120gb.

        When I asked to speak to the supervisor the Boost agent HUNG UP on me!!!

        • discountguy on 29/02/2020 - 11:23

          just found this hidden in the Boost fine print ….

          "*40GB bonus data on $150 SIM: Available to customers who buy a $150 SIM online and activate between 18.02.20 and 30.03.20. Offer available while stocks last.”

          The "online" is what Boost are sticking too :(

            • discountguy on 29/02/2020 - 11:41

              @thedavemiester: Yep I know thats why I trying to do the same … but when I did asked to speak to a supervisor when the Boost rep hung up!

          • Yankyviking on 29/02/2020 - 11:40

            @discountguy: I had boost rep promised that they will give me an additional 40gb when i was willing to buy another pack and they give me a reference number to contact back after activating to get that. However, after buying it from OW, when i activated it automatically gave me 80+40gb without even contacting them back. So, my understanding is that as long as you buy this pack and activate before 31/3 you will still get it regardless of where you buy jt from. Should be a $150 pack not $2sim with $150 recharge online.

            I paid $135 something at OW after price matching so set for a year with 120gb. The best value for money!

            • discountguy on 29/02/2020 - 11:44

              @Yankyviking: $150 pack from OW is what I bought. After porting to Coles Mobile with a $2 sim (getting all the welcome stuff to setup voicemail etc) I tried to port back to Boost online and got the error. Got onto chat and the agent couldn't help me. Asked me to call their 1800 number. That agent said it was for online purchases only. Told him I wasn't happy and I like to speak a supervisor. He then hung up!

              I'm now waiting in the chat queue again … is a looong wait // wondering if I should phone the call centre, take 80gb and see if the 40gb bonus shows up

              • discountguy on 29/02/2020 - 13:54

                @discountguy: Called back, spoke to John in technical support at Boost. 120gb … done! :)

    • Yankyviking on 18/02/2020 - 12:44

      No, you should request porting in at the time of activating your SIM and you can’t recharge a plan until you have an activated SIM on boost.

      • mafmouf on 19/02/2020 - 09:11

        This. The activation process confronts you at the start whether you want a new number or port an existing number.

  • bossmode on 18/02/2020 - 12:56

    Thank you. The offer is available only online. You may just place an order online should you want to get the promotion.

    Mixed bag on this one guys. When I contacted Boost, the representative said that it's online only. Would urge caution until an official representative actually clarifies.

      • bossmode on 18/02/2020 - 12:59

        Yes, I have coordinated this now with my support and was advised of the same. The offer is applicable only if you sign up online and avail the online promotions.

          The promotion with the 40GB bonus is for online purchase only

          -

          Yes. Let me clarify this. The bonus data for the $150 Prepaid SIM kit is when you order the SIM online only

          -

          I believe, the SIM kits that are being sold on retail stores are only $30 Prepaid Sim kits and below

          -

          The promotion is only for the online purchase of the $150 Prepaid SIM kit on the Boost website

          Absolutely no luck with reps.

                    +1

                    @amirkh: No luck, and honestly some of these representatives are just plain cold and textbook.

                    Some background to this statement: I purchased a Boost sim for dad four days ago and per previous comments on these forums, they contacted Boost, argued their case, and were successful in varying ways in getting 20 - 40 additional GB added to their account.

                    I politely stick to my points, and the following conversation ensues, text left unedited:

                    I can see here that you have activated your sim 14 Feb, and the offer only started on the 18th. With your $150 sim, you got 80GB of data already. That offer is when you purchased a $150 sim only from 18th of Feb.

                    Me: That's right, I missed out by four days. My friend purchased his on the 10th of February, eight days ago, and still received credit as a gesture of goodwill

                    I apologise but we are not providing that much data for no reason. Getting a sim earlier than the promo date is not a valid reason and we are running a business and we are not giving it for free

                    -

                    Is there anything else I can help you with?

                      • bossmode on 20/02/2020 - 21:25

                        @amirkh: This whole ordeal has actually been terrible for me. TLDR; Followed pickme's tutorial, online activation failed and said I needed to contact support. Support representative said I'm SOL for the next 7-10 business days and my case has been escalated to a Case Manager.

                        "There is a misalignment on our end and we need to fix that first before we can process the port in."

                        Not pickme's fault whatsoever, just amazed at the luck I've had with this deal.

        I moved from yearly lebara to boost and I am not happy with boost.
        I travel every work day from Melbourne City and catch Belgrade line. Almost no internet in the city loop and throughout the line.. the network is too slow. With calls as well few dropsoffs.

        Not saying it's better to Lebara as with Lebara , city loop internet was better but they have 3 black spots where calls will drop and also phone goes to emergency mode.

        I'm using Note8 so band is not an issue.

      depends if you absolutely need the international call , and who you are with right now.

      If you are on Boost ; go to Optus.
      If you are on any others; go to Boost.

    Hi sort of related to this deal. My catch connect runs out at the end of this month. Has anyone in the community ported from catch to boost? I was wondering how much time I should allow between porting.

    TIA

      My wife's Catch Connect plan ends 29/2 too, so I plan to start the port this Friday evening. I too would be interested in knowing if anyone else has had good luck with a Catch > Boost port.

      • JoelT on 18/02/2020 - 20:56

        After all the comments about slow porting, I've decided to initiate the Catch-to-Boost tonight. Fingers crossed.

        • kzaj on 19/02/2020 - 10:51

          I ported this morning took 3 min. Hope all goes well with everyone

          • kzaj on 19/02/2020 - 10:52

            @kzaj: Also I can confirm I bought boost pack in early Jan and I got the extra 40gb

          • JoelT on 19/02/2020 - 13:54

            @kzaj: 3 mins?! Porting your phone number from Catch Connect to Boost? I initiated ours last night and have only received an email saying it'll take 24+ hours, and still waiting. Sounds like you got lucky.

            • kzaj on 19/02/2020 - 14:12

              @JoelT: Totally surprised I read it might help if you ported during business hrs. Just tried and it was done. I think I was quite lucky

                @kzaj: Nice.
                I initiated my Kogan one yesterday during business hours, but I know there're lots of problems with Kogan/Vodafone ports. Hopefully Catch gives me less headaches.

    Hope this extra GB valid for last sale customers as well..+ following.

    Man…My current plan with Boost ends on 18th march next month….I do not have enough time to port out to another provider then port it back to Boost before 30th March…or do I?

    • Debuting on 18/02/2020 - 16:32

      Yeah, looking for the same answer.

      I'm a bit tired today, so my brain has turned off in the afternoon. It might be that it includes recharge too. Looking at the website it isn't clear whether the rectangle includes all the text inside it. It seems to be a continuous rectangle, but I will probably call before I recharge.

      The offer will be around for some time.

    • sween64 on 18/02/2020 - 16:46

      You do. Most ports during business hours take less than an hour.

    • Raq on 21/02/2020 - 08:52

      If you order directly from Boost you might not get the SIM for some time. I've ordered mine on 24/01 and have yet to receive my SIM from them.

    Just did a OW price match using enjoyebuy price (142.5), got this card at $135. Not a best price, but still sweet.

    • kiwiinoz on 18/02/2020 - 14:57

      But are you sure you will get bonus data? even though you didn't buy the SIM kit from BOOST online….

      • TEER3X on 18/02/2020 - 15:26

        How is boost going to know where you bought the sim from?

        It's already been stated it shouldn't matter where you buy from, chat rep confirmed

        • kiwiinoz on 18/02/2020 - 15:33

          Chat Rep confirmed with me, it has to be online purchased from BOOST online website to avail the offer.

            @kiwiinoz: Neg voting me because you are angry at Boost Rep? come on…. lol….

    I have a blank un-activated Telstra sim lying around. Can I use for Boost? Thanks.
