    I haven't read all of the above. I just rant Boost. They said you need to buy the $150 SIM to get the 40GB. If you have a $2 sim and a $150 RECHARGE you won't get the 40GB. Good luck.

    • morefire on 19/02/2020 - 14:48

      They told me the same thing. But they did confirm that you can buy the $150 sim from a third party still get the bonus, though you may need to ring and ask for it.

      • abacus on 19/02/2020 - 18:32

        I'm starting to lose interest. I went to Optus store today, the $180 365 plan is $150 only online, but could take two weeks to deliver. I'll probably just stick with Kogan $205 365 13GB.

  • Alzori on 18/02/2020 - 16:50

    Here's hoping for a rerun in 4 months when I need to recharge!

  • m1108 on 18/02/2020 - 16:50

    Can this be used for data only/mobile broadband (Etc in nighthawk m1)?

    A long time ago Optus told me that they have different SIM cards for mobile phones and mobile broadband and they can not be interchanged….

      Yes

  • cybapete on 18/02/2020 - 17:19

    what's the deal with data rolling over when you recharge?
    is it the full amount or is it capped or what?

    • sween64 on 19/02/2020 - 10:20

      No rollover on 6 or 12 month plans from Boost

  • Mikka on 18/02/2020 - 17:24

    I've previously bought this sim card back in January 27th and still haven't received it yet. Is anyone in the same boat as me and know we can redeem this deal once we ACTUALLY get our cards?

    I would advise from purchasing online if you're in immediate need of one.

    I was an existing Boost customer with about 1 week to go before my current 12 month $150 reload finished. I ported out and back, and have the 120gb data allowance. Below is what i did.

    I went to Officeworks and bought the $150 Boost Sim card, and got pricematch as per comment by LauWong above. I also went to Coles and bought a $2 Coles prepaid Sim (Optus). Advantage of Coles prepaid sim is you can activate online without needing to do a recharge.

    I activated the Coles prepaid sim and within minutes was on the Optus network. Waited 5 minutes and then activated the Boost sim. During activation where it shows the offer, it showed the 120gb as per screenshot by JoelT above.

    Within a couple of minutes, i was back on Boost and have 120gb. I can see it in the App on my phone as well.

    Porting to Optus, and then back to Boost took about 15 minutes in total.

    Hopefully the above is useful to others :-)

    • Indi24 on 18/02/2020 - 18:17

      Thanks for confirming offer works if you but from OW/Coles.. I got my Sim from Coles…hope I get the offer when I activate.

      • sween64 on 19/02/2020 - 10:21

        Do you have a $150 SIM Kit or a $150 recharge voucher from Coles?

  • StatLord on 18/02/2020 - 18:07

    I'm currently on a Telstra plan, will they accept porting from Telstra to Boost?

    • sween64 on 19/02/2020 - 10:22

      Yes but you have to go Telstra Post-Paid to Telstra Pre-Paid then to Boost and it has to be done with the help of CSRs.

    I've tried looking at the Contact Us page and the "wanna have a chat" section has no link. Then I tried this website (https://livechat.boost.com.au/) and it just redirects to the main website. Might anyone have another link I could use?

    Thanks!

        Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, that's the same page I wrote about above (accidentally called it the Contact Us page). There is no link for the live chat there; only for a phone call (1800 100 933).

        There is no link for "Live Chat (24x7)". Are people communicating with the service reps using a chat function or am I just making an incorrect assumption that there is one?

        Thanks!

        • JoelT on 18/02/2020 - 20:53

          I could never find the live chat window either. I figured it's a Chrome bug and there should be a chat button on that page?

    I activated the sim I bought from Officeworks on Sunday with Richmond in chat after the online activation failed due to technical difficulties. It includes the bonus 40gb (total 120gb). Ported from Optus after they told me their $150 deal was for new customers only. Boost seems like a better deal. Cheaper anyway.

  • sam61n2 on 18/02/2020 - 20:08

    A little concerned about receiving the SIM Kit from them, as I ordered on 26/1/2020 and still not received, and when I called today, they were unable to find out when the warehouse would be sending it out.

    • JoelT on 18/02/2020 - 20:52

      They're pretty useless with this info. I ordered 2 kits in early January. The first one arrived in about 3 days. The second one vanished off the face of the earth, took about 5-6 phone calls over 4 weeks to finally get it delivered. Good luck.

  • cheapo999 on 18/02/2020 - 21:02

    those who want to buy/bought sim from sources other than online, just go and talk to them in chat. They are providing reference number to claim extra 40GB once you activate sim from other source. Enjoy.

    According to CSR

    ''Upon confirming to my manager even if you purchased a $2 sim kit at any store once you recharge $150 on your service you will still get the 40GB bonus data.''

    • sween64 on 19/02/2020 - 10:24

      Nice. Keep that email.

    • blueyez on 19/02/2020 - 11:24

      I hope so - i bought the sim kit from Coles but they were out of Boost sim cards. So i bought an extra starter pack. Realised later all the boost sim cards had short expiry or had already expired and tried to get a new sim from Boost without success.

      Still have the voucher waiting to go, need to go buy another sim =/

    • Fullhalter on 22/02/2020 - 17:03

      Nope. $2 sims won't get 40gb, only 20gb 'goodwill'. Confirmed.

      • dingdong3000 on 22/02/2020 - 17:38

        If you let them know that you were told by their colleague 40gb bonus was still eligible, they'll ask for proof and you can copy paste transcript. 9 times out of 10 would work if not then try again with another csr.
        Can also say wanted the SIM straight away and this was the only way due to no $150 sim stock in-store and their delays in shipping, therefore was told still eligible.

        They chat like they're speaking the truth using 'honestly' we're not doing that bs

        When you get someone that say can do it make sure they give you reference number

        • Fullhalter on 22/02/2020 - 19:36

          Tried many times they flatly refused to add 40GB to a recharge.

          • dingdong3000 on 22/02/2020 - 20:41

            @Fullhalter: You need to try harder. If anyone has issues getting bonus I can send transcript of chat. Of all the times I've asked about it they've honoured the bonus.

      Not yet, it's still up in limbo at the moment.

      Could always just recharge an extra month, or activate another sim for the time being.

      • JoelT on 20/02/2020 - 07:09

        Live chat just told me:
        "and yes there is a slight delay on the porting process coming from Kogan.
        as there is a problem on there network trasnfer. it will be 2 to 3 days depending on how many days the kogan can fix their issues. "

        Since this has been ongoing for months, I have my doubts.

      • d2567 on 19/02/2020 - 11:27

        Think I might change to Optus $150 for 120 gig/ 12 months, new customers only , must activate before 4/20.
        Can also add data roaming for $20 / 10 gig lasting 14 days.
        As usual telcos only want new customers not necessarily keeping their old customers that can go through the hassle of switching.

        • DavRo on 20/02/2020 - 22:07

    Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can: Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration.

    People with this type of entitlement are the most likely, as the term suggests, to explode when people don't bow to their wishes. The entitled in our midst who feel that they deserve special treatment when they've done nothing special can make life difficult for those around them

      I've been waiting since Saturday to port from Lebara (Vodafone network) to Boost. It went through this morning. Don't know if that means the porting issue between Vodafone and Telstra is resolved fully or not. I also got the 40GB bonus data. I bought the Boost SIM through ebay in December, so buying the SIM online through Boost to avail of the offer isn't necessary.

          For 2 weeks the old Catch Connect Sim was active. In the 3rd week Optus finally ported - but I could only receive sms and calls, couldn't make any outbound calls. I can now send sms but still can't call - requested port on 14th of January.
          Lodged an ombudsman report they have until the 26th to resolve it but I think it's unfair that I still can't call people on my normal mobile number.

    Customer service advised via chat 'The $150 sim kit with bonus data is for online sim only. But as one time courtesy, we will be applying the bonus 40GB on it once activated and once the $150 voucher has been applied."

    When I ask for a human rep, SIMO asks for my number so a rep can call me. Any way for a virtual chat instead?

      Hey Sploots. When you get SIMO just send the message “consultant” and he’ll eventually put you on to someone. If he asks for a number just say “no”
