Starter Pack Features.

  • 20GB Data
  • Unlimited national calls & SMS.
  • Unlimited data banking.
  • Unlimited data gifting.
  • No lock-in contracts.
  • Telstra 4G & 3G.
  • Flexibility to change plans once every monthly payment cycle.
  • Data slows to 64 kbps if you use all your monthly allowance.
  • 12 month SIM expiry (you have 12 months from the purchase date to activate the starter pack)

New Customers

Before you activate make sure you get a referral code from a friend who is already with Belong for an additional $20 credit.

2 Months 23GB — Activate on the $25 20GB per month plan. Then switch to the $15 3GB per month plan for the 2nd month. You should be able to switch straight away once your account is set up & activated. The first 2 months cost is covered ($25 starter pack credit plus $20 referral credit) and data rolls over every month or can be gifted. $5 referral credit will be left over.

2 Months 40GB — Activate on the $25 20GB per month plan & stay there for the 2nd month. This will cost you another $5 as the referral credit is only $20.

Hack For Existing Belong Customers

Activate the same as above but in a family or friends name & email. Use your referral code to give yourself $20 credit. Make sure you actually use the new sim in a spare phone so you can't be accused of breaching the "Customer Terms". Gift the 23GB data to yourself gradually or towards the end of the 2 months.

More info at the Whirpool Belong Wiki.
Customer Terms.

I thought you offered a $10 smaller 1G plan?
We did, but the Belongs $10 plan is no longer be available for new sign-ups.

You can cancel your service by notifying us. We’ll cancel your service within 24 hours. It may take up to 24 hours to process your request, so you’ll need to let us know at least 24 hours before the start of the next monthly bill cycle. If you want to keep your number then port out before the next payment date, this will cancel your account too.

    Just been through my first Belong 3 months. I sent a message to support informing them I have ported out to Vodafone.

    They jusy reply saying my Belong service is still active (but been with Voda for a week).

    I still have $10 credit in my account if they try to charge me another month. But not sure what I'm meant to do?

    Also, Just a reminder to others to delete your Belong referal codes if you arent with Belong anymore, it can stuff others up if the referer isn't active.

      Did you write the words - "please cancel my account"

      Not that it should matter but at least if there is a dispute you have done what they have asked in the customer terms.

      Cut and paste directly from within the belong app when I select cancel my account:

      If you’re switching to a new service provider and want to keep your number, do not cancel your service. Please contact your new service provider and they’ll transfer your number for you and we’ll stop billing your service.

      Good point about the referral codes. Most people would forget to remove it. I was lucky enough to get one referral "hit" a few months ago - feels nice.

    • kei on 16/03/2021 - 11:38

      I thought your account would be automatically closed after your number has been ported to another provider. They no longer have your number in service to charge you for any services.

        My recent experience was this.

  • payless69 on 16/03/2021 - 11:30

    Buy 4 and get 3 times the referal credit so overall cost is a BARGAIN!

    • WatchNerd on 16/03/2021 - 11:31

      You'd have to activate each one in a different name & email though.

      • payless69 on 16/03/2021 - 12:16

        they create "burner" mails just for that!
        names, John Smith, jo brown, jahan braun, Hans Schmidt…..

        • WatchNerd on 16/03/2021 - 12:18

          Sure you can use any email but my point is you actually need real ID in Aus to activate a sim.

          • payless69 on 16/03/2021 - 12:20

            @WatchNerd: Vodafone wanted a credit card online but over the phone they do not care! If tourist buys a sub "Hell" sub-company card they do not care!

          • xlamik on 16/03/2021 - 14:25

            @WatchNerd: I have activated 3 sims using one name and ID but different emails. Not sure if I breached T&C but so far no questions been asked.

            • WatchNerd on 16/03/2021 - 16:45

              @xlamik: You might want to read the "Customer Terms" because it states they may cancel your service immediately if you’ve seriously breached them.

              Link is in the description.

            • Feeblely on 01/04/2021 - 11:24

              @xlamik: Yes it's a breach. People including myself have had their number cancelled without notice for referring our own accounts.

    I just got a referral credit land in my account, I assume it's someone from OzB.

    Thank you mystery person.

    Have the plans changed? I just signed up on the $25 plan, seem to have 20GB available. But the plan options available to change to are 3GB for $15 a month, 40GB for $35 a month (limited time promo), and 80GB for $35 a month.

    Suppose I'm only in this to sim slut it and get back onto the Kogan 3 month deal whenever I've burnt up the data on this, so the 3GB $15 plan suits me for a total of 23GB for $10 spent. If I end up using that before renewing for a third month, I'm pretty happy with that.

      Wow yes they have!!! Just looked at their website now.

      Looks like they've totally got rid of the $10 plan for new sign ups, what idiots!!!

      I thought you offered a $10 smaller 1G plan?
      We did, but the Belongs $10 plan is no longer be available for new sign-ups.

      How does this affect you?
      If you're already on the $10 plan, this won't affect you. You'll remain on the plan.

        Oh yeah, just checked the Critical Information Summary and its official as of today.

        Reading this deal description, the $10 plan for new signups have been gone for a while. But they've also removed the $10 plan for renewals now. Still though, $15 for 3GB is better value than $10 for 1GB.

          Just looked at the CIS too.
          Thanks for the heads up, will edit the description.

        • wildstone on 19/03/2021 - 19:20

          The problem is that, now you could only use for another month with your referral credit with $5 left, instead of using it for another 2 months with $0 left.

          • WatchNerd on 19/03/2021 - 19:25

            @wildstone: Yep so people will now be sim slutting to Kogan 60GB 90 days $14.90 just before their 2nd month ends.

            On the positive - 2 Months 23GB $10.00 is still pretty good value.

        • ja912son on 20/03/2021 - 11:54

          Gees, that literally removes $10 plan and replaces it with $15 a month, which is 50% price increase.
          That makes Kogan $14.90 for 60GB 90days way more attractive.

          • WatchNerd on 20/03/2021 - 12:14
            +1

            @ja912son: This starter pack on special is still good value for sim slutting between Kogan as I mentioned above but what they have done is pretty much eliminated a massive chunk of the market who only want to spend $10 per month.

            The good thing about Belong was once you had accumulated a large amount of data you could sit on the $10 per month plan until you worked your way through it. That's not possible now for new sign ups.

            • ja912son on 20/03/2021 - 12:18

              @WatchNerd: Touche. I'm currently on $10 per month Belong plan contemplating what would be the best option moving forward.

              Either way, I need to grab some of these $25 pack as a starting point. Belong mobile has been providing great value for a while.

              • WatchNerd on 20/03/2021 - 12:27

                @ja912son: If you're currently on the $10 plan then don't forget the hack mentioned in the description under - Existing Belong Customers, which should still give you $20 promo credit (2 extra months & 23GB).

                • ja912son on 21/03/2021 - 12:40

                  @WatchNerd: Thanks for the heads up.
                  I've exhausted 10 referrals of $200 in total since joining them in Oct18.

  • ja912son on 21/03/2021 - 21:15

    Hi all,

    Just wanna ask a question about Belong Referral $20 credit. It seems that $20 credit can't be used right away at the activation process towards the very first month cost. Is that correct?

    If so, when would the $20 credit be added to a newly activated account?

    Thanks!

    • sydracing on 21/03/2021 - 21:20

      Added on first invoice, can be used at 2nd month.

      • ja912son on 21/03/2021 - 21:28

        Thanks for your reply. That sucks! Unlike the old days, you can use it right away towards the first month cost.

        • sydracing on 21/03/2021 - 22:25

          Yes, belong’s game is over, no more immediate credit and double data at fixed billing dates.

  • seniordoc on 23/03/2021 - 09:17

    I activated a $25 starter few days ago. I want to change to $10 plan today, I only find $15 for 3 G plan available.
    Any other way to use $10?

    Thank you.

    If there is NO more $10 plan to change even after the 1st month, could OP update the title?

    addit

    I also cannot find the referral code for the new account, Are they going to turn the referral system off?

    • WatchNerd on 23/03/2021 - 13:12

      You should have $20 referral credit left over after activating on the $25 plan.

      The description already says there is no $10 plan anymore.

      From the app go to - My Services, then scroll down to - Get Your Invite Code.

  • Jaduqimon on 24/03/2021 - 08:08

    With the riddance of the $10 plan, its probably better to go for a $40 starter pack when they are on special for $15 and activate as

    Month 1: $25
    Month 2: $15
    Month 3: $15

    • seniordoc on 02/04/2021 - 12:52

      Maybe.
      It is a choice of $10 for 2 months or $15 for 3 months. Both have $5 useless in your account unless you pay $10 for 1 more month.
      However an ozbargainer will not add $10 for that.
      Nevertheless I cannot find any special of $15 for $40 starter at the moment.

      I think now Aldi, $99, for 365 days, 15G is a good choice, as there is wifi everywhere.

  • gtrain on 25/03/2021 - 06:35

    Is it possible to start on the $45 plan with a starter pack by paying the difference?

    • Jaduqimon on 25/03/2021 - 08:43

      yes you can

    • fishes2222 on 04/04/2021 - 00:42

      It was the $40 start kit sold at $20. I am waiting for the newly added $45 start kit on promotion. Maybe it is $20 as well

  • OrbDaggerZ on 29/03/2021 - 19:38

    It's a shame you cant have a 2nd account, would have been nice to get this deal then slowly gift my data to my current account with them.
    Sucks that they dropped the $10 plan too.

    Thanks OP.

    • WatchNerd on 29/03/2021 - 19:45

      Just activate a 2nd account in a family member's name as mentioned in the description.

      • OrbDaggerZ on 29/03/2021 - 19:47

        I only have 1 brother and he has a different last name.
