    So many Catch Connect deals recently! I was gonna order this but then wondered why - there's no way I'll be using it before it expires (on 90 day Catch).
    +1 for the effort and negotiation though, hopefully others can use this :D

      There's been well over ten percent of the population downloading it so it's a roaring success already.

      • dm01 on 03/05/2020 - 10:08

        Roaring success apart from not actually functioning.

      • CacheHunter on 03/05/2020 - 10:12

        That's based on download figures, which we know are inflated from people using bots to download the app multiple times.
        The risk is that the government might switch to counting registrations, which are presumably much lower. That would mean that those who fall between the cracks of JobSeeker, JobKeeper etc will be left with no income and no prospect of work for even longer.

        • Diji1 on 03/05/2020 - 10:50

          You don't know the download figure, you know the total installs figure.

          I'm not sure why you think someone would mount a bot campaign to inflate those figures, that takes considerable resources. Who has deep pockets that wants to inflate the bot installs figures? Communists? The Government? I don't see how that helps anyone.

          Bot campaigns are usually started with the aim of making money so only a state adversary really has an interest in attacking Australia in this way. But then … who is benefiting out of Australia not curing COVID fast? China? Still seems silly …

          Not sure why you think false figures are a good thing?

          • CacheHunter on 03/05/2020 - 11:46

            @Diji1: Considerable resources? What about a Windows PC running BlueStacks and python script to download/install, wipe and repeat?
            Why? You might have a point. I can't think of anyone that's been negatively affected by the lockdown and wants to see the government wind things back. (Let's ignore casual workers, overseas students, people who are desperate to see partners or sick family members living >50km away, small businesses that have been shut down etc.)

            The PM has been very clear - if there's enough downloads by next Friday, all of us can take another step towards getting our lives back.

                There's plenty of others who still have a job or who are living the high life or bludging on JobSeeker and JobKeeper you could have a go at.
                Its a bit rich to say that someone who has had their livelihood taken away, but is still expected to put their life and family on the line at an instant's notice if the virus gets out of hand is what is wrong with this country.

        The population is about 27 million and 10% of that is 2.7M. A couple of days ago the PM said 2M have installed it "and it needs to be millions more." 2.7M minus 2M is 700K. I don't think 700K qualifies as 'millions more'. So if 10% have downloaded it, it's hardly a roaring success. ;-D

        Personally I don't take well to government threats. So if he wants to keep the country closed indefinitely until the public revolts, he can have at it. I'm still not installing any kind of tracking app created by government. I watched them lie with that 'statistical key' they added last Census in contradiction with Australian law, and multiple other personal data related breeches or lies since. I don't tend to trust habitual liars who then say, "But we weally , weally, pwomis you can trust us this time."

      • INFIDEL on 03/05/2020 - 20:37

        10% uptake rate… Roaring success??
        The average chance of 2 people in close & prolonged contact (15minute min) with another person being traced by the app at that level of uptake is 1%!!         (0.1 x 0.1).
        Downloads have reportedly risen to around 17%.

        Singapore is reported to have had an uptake of 20%. Singapore carries out contact tracing via activity mapping, analytic tools, surveillance footage, door-to-door inquiries and through the TraceTogether smartphone app.
        S Korea has no app, but uses credit card purchases & surveillance footage to trace.

        Our Government wants 40% or a 16% chance of tracking being recorded between 2 close people.

        Of course if you have the app operating, the probability of tracking close prolonged contact with another rises to the percentage of the population in your area also using the app - which may be lower than the proportion downloading.

        Even at 100% uptake, it won't trace other sources of infection (from surfaces etc).

        And then there's the issue of having to keep the app running in the foreground & phone left unlocked for iPhone users…

        The app alone is currently next to useless in tracing. The data is reportedly currently not available to do the job. Manual systems will still be needed.

      looks like the T&C says new mobile number only. So porting will be uneligible.

      • LG-13 on 03/05/2020 - 11:12

        don't think so. it says new service. if you port from a different provider to catch connect, it should be considered a new service.

        • F1ngolf on 03/05/2020 - 15:33

          Yup! It has always been this way i.e. new service=new mobile number or port in number.

  • JamesLucas on 03/05/2020 - 12:19

    Can someone tell me if this idea sucks. I have a dual SIM phone, I keep an Amaysim PAYG account with my main phone number everyone knows and top up $10 every 365days to keep account active, but don't use it. Can receive incoming calls to my main number.
    I then use the other Sim slot for whatever Sim deal is great at the time and use that for my data and all outgoing calls.
    I dont make a lot of calls to people who know me, WhatsApp mainly, so a different number being used has no affect.

    • Arthur Dunger on 03/05/2020 - 12:20
      +1

      No it doesn't suck. Dual sim phones are great for this purpose.

      You could however save $5 by porting your main number to an Aldi $5 starter pack. They remain active for 1 year. You can buy them in store or get it delivered free.

      • dasher86 on 03/05/2020 - 12:55
        +1

        Only issue is your outbound number is different to your main number.
        This can confuse people.
        But as you said if you don't make many outbound calls and use WhatsApp it would be fine.

    • INFIDEL on 03/05/2020 - 13:17
      +1

      That's what I've been doing for over 6 years. Initially carried 2 phones, much easier with dual SIM phone.

      Occasionally people get confused by my changing outgoing number. But anyone who knows me is used to my frugal ways😉

      Just ported my long term number from Optus to free Amaysim SIM on Friday. Amaysim keeps the number active for incoming calls & SMS for over a year.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2020 - 13:20

      That's exactly what I'm doing with my dual SIM G6. SIM 1 with Boost for voice calls, and SIM 2 for data only.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2020 - 15:00

      That's nearly exactly what I do, except I entered my Paypal (because it's easy to turn auto payments off on the Paypal site) and set Catch Connect to automatically top up $10 when my credit balance drops below $2.

    • Cheeper on 03/05/2020 - 22:21
      +1

      I do the same. PAYG Amaysim $0 per year but must make 1 outward call or txt every 3 mths. Total cost per yr 60c?
      Had the acct for a few years so must be an old arrangement? No annual fee involved.
      The second sim is always one of the intro sims with a new number each time.

      • JamesLucas on 03/05/2020 - 22:32
        +1

        It's my understanding that any unused credit expires after 365days,and minimum top up is $10.
        I'm assuming I would need to add $10 every 365days to keep number active?
        I can use a $10 28day Amaysim plan now and again to lower the balance.

        • Cheeper on 03/05/2020 - 22:49
          +1

          We have 2 of the old deal which are handy to keep our dial in numbers. Must have changed because we have had it for many years and there is no annual fee, just a bill every 3 mths which is 15c or a bit more if i have sent txts using it. I thought they would have changed the name of the deal if you have to pay $10~ yr as that is not PAYG, it is prepaid.

          • JamesLucas on 03/05/2020 - 23:03

            @Cheeper: Not an annual fee, just have to top up or I lose the remaining balance on my sim.
            I'll look into what happens if my balance goes to $0 and I don't top up.

    Hi, If I already registered for this 3 months ago but didn't activate the Sim once it came in the post. Could I use the same Sim once I register now & activate straight away? And will it still be $4.90 for the month? Thank you

    • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2020 - 14:17

      No. You can do it with Kogan because the activation codes are emailed to you so that code activates any Kogan SIM. Whereas Catchconnect mails you the SIM with the info already coded to that one SIM.

      • stephd on 03/05/2020 - 14:28

        That's a shame. Thank you for confirming. Last time it took so long to arrive, may be the same this time if I have to wait for another Sim.

            @[Deactivated]: How did you manage to order "few"? It doesn't let me, maybe I was too late and the offer has a limited number of sims.

              -1

              @CheapieChippie: I meant that I've ordered lots of SIMs over a long time. But I did just order 4.

              Because I buy both Kogan and Catch Connect SIMs I try to make the 'rules' the same for both (easier to remember). So like with Kogan, I ordered one SIM at a time. Maybe that's why? But also when I went to buy SIM #4 their site said the deal had ended… But then I closed all the browser tabs, went through the steps again starting on this page, and then it worked. So I'm not sure what that was about.

              I just went through the steps again as far as I could without purchasing and it seems to be working. Maybe try clearing your browser cookies/cache and/or use a different browser (after installing the Cashrewards plugin).

  • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2020 - 14:19

    How do you activate these on day 30? I've seen people saying don't enter your details until you're ready to activate, but you have to when you buy the SIM!?

    • NPB on 03/05/2020 - 14:37

      • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2020 - 15:08

        Yeah there's some piece of info I'm missing here because I've received their SIMs before, waited 3 weeks, then logged in to set it up, but it hasn't reset to day one. People also say something like don't enter your personal details when purchasing, but I can never find how to purchase without entering details.

          I think you're getting confused with Amaysim. They come pre=activated if you aren't porting.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2020 - 16:39

          It might have been Amaysim now you mention it. Ok thanks.

          • NPB on 04/05/2020 - 10:44

            @[Deactivated]: Yes, Amaysim comes with preactivation, if you wish to port out from other provider you will need to put your details with phone number while purchasing. While with catch connect you will have options to either port in or use new number after you get your sim and ready to use (within 30 days)
            Please remember, weekends processing will give you significant delays. In my past experincen, never had problems porting in and out between kogan and catchconnect (given its in weekdays). Porting in from telstra/boost/amaysim to Catchconnect can be delayed in my experience.

    • lorikeet on 03/05/2020 - 15:19

      This was for amaysim who auto activate Sim cards on order. With Catch Connect the Sim cards don't come pre-activated but to get the cashback you have to activate them within 30 days of purchase. You can activate them later but you might not get the cashback.

    As isn't usually there could be issues from Optus to Optus?
    Also if I have or will few activated $2 Sims is every number considered as a "new number service with this deal" if I port them to catch connect? I bought heaps of the $2 Sims packs both Optus and Telstra when they were offering them for free 🤑🤪👍

    Anyone else having trouble adding the credit card? Page doesn't seem to have the credit card number field? Edit: Working for me now.

    Anyone know how to delete old numbers? Or clear them off my account?
    How long do they stay active on your account without any credit?

      Check you plan and find a dropdown menu on the right "WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO?"

      Untick and update.
