        Great, thank you for your help! I never would've known to do this.

  • Enti91 on 20/02/2020 - 19:40

    Tried calling to port number from Telstra (the FAQ says bringing a number from Telstra requires a special Boost blank SIM), and the operator said the deal is not valid for Telstra customers.

  • CheapOjoe on 21/02/2020 - 00:22

    If I go to Coles tomorrow and buy the boost mobile $150 starter sim kit would I get 120gb or only 80gb? Or is this online deal only?

    • jakentta on 21/02/2020 - 10:17

      At this point, I would be happy to get even the 80GB… I have been to my local Coles, Woolworths, Officeworks and Post Office and none of them have any stock! Most have no idea about the product in the first place, others claim that the only $150 Boost item they have is a recharge voucher. Very frustrating.

  • pennyless on 21/02/2020 - 09:37

    Optus sent a deal matching this so went with that

    • CheapOjoe on 21/02/2020 - 10:09

      Link Optus deal

      • knight321 on 21/02/2020 - 15:39

        Here

      • pennyless on 24/02/2020 - 17:30

        It was some loyalty deal for already being with them so may not be applicable, I hadn't heard of Boost before so stuck with Optus.

    • dingdong3000 on 21/02/2020 - 18:52

      Didn't Optus have this deal before boost?

    I am still waiting for my order since 27/1… now doing a refund and the agent online said i have to wait for another 7-10 working days for the refund. No way, i am going to dispute this with my credit card company.l Tomorrow is my last day with my current operator and i do not want to be out of pocket twice!

    • hypexx on 02/03/2020 - 20:36

      Did you get the refund or did the order arrive? The same for my order from 28/1. The customer service on phone or online was very rude and unprofessional.

  • t3chshopper on 21/02/2020 - 14:25

    I just grabbed two of these $150 Prepaid Sim Black cards at Officeworks.

    I've activated one and the offer details screen said "120GB data (80GB + 40GB bonus) when you active (sic) this $150 SIM by 30 March 2020."

    My number is apparently already ported over (took like 5 minutes), and after a restart I'm up and running, with app showing 120GB data.

    Fingers crossed that it works just as seamlessly when I try second sim on my wife's phone!

      I can confirm the same, bought the $150 sim pack from Officeworks, ported out from Optus and the service was active within 2 hours. Thanks OP :)

    • Wardaddy on 29/02/2020 - 16:32

      Ditto. OW $150 starter sim, wife ported over from Lebara, coupla hours, no probs. Showing 120GB available.

  • dingdong3000 on 21/02/2020 - 14:45

    I suggest everyone who purchased a $2 sim and voucher to speak to online chat to get reference number in case they don't add the bonus.

    • Fullhalter on 22/02/2020 - 19:53
      +2

      No bonus to $2 sim + $150 recharge. The bonus 40GB only applies to $150 starter sim. Both online chat and call centre say the same thing. I just wasted a $2 from trying the $2 starter sim route.

      • Fullhalter on 23/02/2020 - 01:45
        +1

        I don't mind the negs. Just letting others know what to expect.

        Good grief.

    • blueyez on 25/02/2020 - 14:16

      I'm worried about this being hit and miss. I have a recharge voucher as Coles didn't have a valid starter kit - so now i need to source my own sim to activate.

      Or get a family member to use my existing sim and get a new one to be sure..

  • GPreet on 21/02/2020 - 19:41

    Just bought the sim for $135.38 from office works Doncaster in Melbourne. And i also received 120gb data and the port only took 10min from optus.

    • chmod on 21/02/2020 - 19:42

        Enjoyebuy.com.au

        • Jaff on 24/02/2020 - 17:49

          Soldout now

    • dowanted on 26/02/2020 - 17:16

      Was the enjoyebuy deal sold out when you did the price match? I'm going to OW there tomorrow…

      • tcoates on 27/02/2020 - 08:57

        They may not price match due to the item being sold out. It might be easier to call up and ask them first. Either way, let me know how you go. I would also like to Price Match.

        • dowanted on 27/02/2020 - 14:08

          No price match. Might wait a little to see if the enjoyebuy deal comes back in stock.

  • nedski on 22/02/2020 - 21:18

    How do people find the speeds? I have ported from Optus to Boost and noticed a dramatic speed drop in comparison to Optus. EG Optus was over 60 to 100mbits and on boost I struggle to get 30mbits.

    • jv on 23/02/2020 - 01:05

      I just did a speedtest…

        Hmm I spose it just comes down to my location then. I cant really complain as I got the 240gb one for 12 months and wont have phone bills for awhile.

  • asian bargain hunter on 22/02/2020 - 22:47

    bought my prepaid sim kit 2 months ago. Ported out of Catch Connect to Boost. Took at most 20 minutes for the whole porting process to be complete. Also received the 120gb data. So easy and seamless.

  • Ntense on 23/02/2020 - 11:34

    I think I've missed out on the window where Boost allocated 40GB bonus to starter packs bought from other retailers, so I decided to buy it online to ensure I get the bonus data. Fingers crossed it arrives in time before the final activation date. For me it is a great deal if you consider the international calls.

    I used Paypal for the transaction, and noticed that payments went direct to Telstra. I guess this means Boost not only uses a slightly capped Telstra network, but IS actually operated by Telstra?

  • Emerald Owl on 24/02/2020 - 00:25

    Is there a similar deal with a carrier that supports international data roaming? E.g. Kogan. I like to always have that as a backup overseas or use it during a layover/

  • Dave Id on 25/02/2020 - 04:46

    Thanks OP.

  • usmanhafeez2000 on 25/02/2020 - 11:08

    I am currently on Telstra. Are Telstra and Boost considered seperate networks? Or I will have to port out to some other network from Telstra to come back to Boost?

    • usmanhafeez2000 on 25/02/2020 - 11:10

      Got the answer from Boost Chat, as below:

      "if you're switching from Telstra to Boost Mobile, you'll need a special blank Boost Mobile SIM card. Call us on 1258881 (8am-9pm AEST, 7 days) and we'll send one out to you".

  • carlenet on 25/02/2020 - 11:10

    Just a heads up to those whom ordered a sim online on the 18th. I just went onto chat with them as it's now been a week since I ordered it and was given the following shipping times, "METRO AREAS >> Approx. 14 business days, NON METRO >> 16-18 business days, REGIONAL / REMOTE AREAS >> 18-20 business days". I was offered the option of going to buy a $2 sim and they'd credit the $150. As I don't urgently need the sim, yet, I said I'd wait for now. Not too good especially as their order emails are still stating, "Next business day for metro deliveries and within 2-7 days for other areas".

    • carlenet on 02/03/2020 - 21:33

      Received my sim today via StarTrack. Ported from Kogan in 5 minutes. 120GB showing on the app.

  • Bryanalves on 25/02/2020 - 12:11

    Spoke to online support. This deal only available If you purchase online.

      Support are useless. I and many others have this deal and purchased through Officeworks.

      • Bryanalves on 25/02/2020 - 13:34

        So just activated like normal then it just works?

    • trammel on 28/02/2020 - 11:24

      Last night, online support told me the same thing, that the deal is only available online. I bought a $150 sim from OfficeWorks this morning, activated it online, and the mobile app shows 120GB.

      • Bryanalves on 28/02/2020 - 14:21

        Yea online support specifically said "we can also identify which sims were purchased online". Going officeworks this weekend lol.

        • MrTickles on 28/02/2020 - 15:12

          Jerson from online chat is giving wrong information.

          ive spoken to him as i had issues activating my sim 3 days ago . He also said its a Online deal only.
          But once my sim was activated it showed 120GB.

          You will get 120GB data doesnt matter if you bought this online or store so long you activate it by 30 march. 2020.
          Hope this clears things up for oz bargainers.

          ps i bought the sim in store months ago.

  • xdivino on 25/02/2020 - 19:29

    Looking to move off Aldi since expiry is in 2 days from today.

    Can I just purcahse some $2 cards at Woolies and then sign up online like I did with Aldi last year and be eligble for this? or do I need to find a $150 sim pack in store?

    Need to move quick since I was going to just lapse over auto-renew but this is $100 cheaper for more now.

    • thedavemiester on 25/02/2020 - 19:54

      Sim pack. Do not get the $2 Sim unless you're happy to miss out on the bonus.

      • xdivino on 25/02/2020 - 20:31

        they're saying weeks for delivery online.. so i'm guessing I can buy somewhere?

            buy $2 and activate it and you get it… no you dont.. boost said x, boost said y.. there's no clear defined answer.

  • mtchairs on 27/02/2020 - 08:46

    Any issues with using one of these sims in an iPad? Is anyone else doing that?

  • Densor on 27/02/2020 - 10:24

    I was told on online chat that the current delivery times were 2 weeks for a new SIM. They told me to buy a $2 sim and come back. When I did, they activated the sim for me in online chat, then got me to recharge it on the $150 plan while they waited. They then applied the extra 40Gb to the account. Very easy and quick.

    • dddddog on 27/03/2020 - 20:51

      good advice, thanks

      I looked all around today but can't find a $150 sim instore so I think I will do this…

  • Cannix on 29/02/2020 - 00:42

    I wish boost had a 120 or 150gb 12month expiry sim as an actual plan you could recharge to. It sucks that it's just $150 for 80gb or $300 for 240. Why isn't there something inbetween, this deal is great for that, but its only for new customers. I'm not expecting a discount, I just want to be able to pay for something in-between.

    • jsb on 29/02/2020 - 15:03

      How about 240 gb for $228. Pay in between 150 and 300 but get more data

      Boost has 240gb for $240. Just do price match in price match in officeworks for further 5% off. I got it last time.

      Want a better deal still? Try to get coles officeworks gift card with discounted Coles giftcard and get 4% extra off.

      • Cannix on 29/02/2020 - 17:35

        Thats for new customers only. specifically said recharges.

        • jsb on 29/02/2020 - 22:42

          It's not hard to become a new customer. Just Port out and Port in. If you don't have free sim from earlier deals, just add $2 as extra expense. Just saying it's possible.

          • Cannix on 01/03/2020 - 10:13

            @jsb: Of course it's possible. But it's a pain in the ass if you need your mobile for work during that period. And you still don't end up with what I was asking for, something in-between 80gb and 240gb on a 12mnth expiry. Yes, I'm aware you can go with the 60gb 6month expiry and have 120 for the year, but it doesn't work out too well if your like me and wont use more than 1gb data for months but need to use a lot of it over the course of a few days when you go out to remote locations and tether your phone for downloading.

    I activated a $2 SIM card(new customer to boost) which bought from Woolies, then I found out the fine print says "Activate A $150 SIM".

    Jump on to the website, start to chat with the customer service online. That was the first thing they say to me as well, however, they advise me to recharge the $150 plan then they will add the extra 40 GB for me. It is pretty quick, less than 10 mins :)

  • Meulsie on 15/03/2020 - 19:59

    I'm with Telstra, from what I've read Boost need to send a special SIM for an automatic transfer.

    Is it faster to go buy a $2 Optus Sim at the store and transfer to that and then transfer to Boost? If anyone has done this can you say how long it took?

    • ndenham on 16/03/2020 - 13:45

      I ported Telstra -> Optus (officeworks has a $5 sim pack with $10 credit at the moment) and then Optus -> Boost. And had no issues getting the bonus 40gb.

          I said I called previously wanting to take advantage of the 40GB bonus, but there is not enough time to ship me the $150 pack, so I was advised to go buy a $2 SIM and a $150 recharge, then call back to get the 40GB added.
