Telstra 4G.
Ww is a Tls MVNO. Same as ALDI. That means some parts of the network aren't available (eg remote areas), nor is 5G or 4GX (spedd boost). Neither of the latter two is critical for most users.
BOOST uses the full Tls network and has 5G but not 4GX from what I've read.
https://www.whistleout.com.au/MobilePhones/Guides/which-netw…
@lang_tu_syd: Thx. Was misled by a Google link headline which I didn't bother following. My bad.
From Canstar comparo:
"However, where Boost differs is that it does not use Telstra’s full ‘4GX’ speed capacity, and has a speed cap on the 4G network – 100Mbps. So although you’ll still receive the same level of coverage on Boost as you would on a Telstra plan, your speeds won’t be quite as fast. Also, as the Telstra 5G network expands, you’ll only be able to access this network on a Telstra plan as it’s currently not offering 5G network coverage to any MVNOs."Seems until Telstra decouples its infrastructure assets from its retail (in planning, possibly ~12 months time) that they'll keep it that way for MVNOs.
100GB is a single week's amount of data that they intend to last someone a year?
what an absolute joke
Australia bad? Have a look at the USA.
seems not a good deal.
piss poor deal. coles is much better value @ $99
Unless you need Telstra coverage.
Also, these super pack deals are only available to those with an Aldi store within coo-ee, i.e. not online.
Not much use for most of the country even if you were interested.are only available to those with an Aldi store within coo-ee
Which would probably be >99% of the population.
To whoever negged, check Google Maps. Aldi stores are pretty much everywhere around the country. Vast majority would have one nearby.
The $169 and $249 super packs have a "buy now" option on the Aldimobile website. Super Packs
The $99 super pack is listed as in-store only.
Apologies if this has already been covered but is there a "must activate by X" requirement similar to the Coles Mobile offer? Appreciate Coles is a better offer but my current 12 mth plan doesn't end til December and this one seems reasonable value. Thanks
I would also like to know as my mobile plan expires towards the end of the
8 month?
Expiry date is on the back of the box.
Will have a look - Thanks
Answered above. You'll have plenty of time, usually 12m+ ime.
Too expensive! Buy Kogan Mobile or Catch Connect
NOT too expensive at all if you require or even prefer the Telstra network.
But sure, pay $30 less a year for inferior service.
Makes sense. If you need good service in your area, go for Telstra.
I'm near CBD, so don't have signal problems.
I'm trying to get rid of the associated with Aldi Mobile tag , don't know how to
That’s funny. Not that I’d know how to either though 😏
Doesn't appear to be a bargain in the current market but still received 50+ votes? Wow!
Simple answer to your astonishment : because it IS a bargain depending on your needs and wants. Just like every other deal really.
I've been using Aldi mobile for 3 years now and it's been great. Never had an issue with service & the convenience if brilliant.
continuous data rollover on all plans - what does this mean exactly? If you don't finish up the 12 months data it rolls over to another 12 months but only if you sign up 12 month pack?
When you continue with the same plan or upgrade to one of higher value. You lose the rollover credit if you move to a cheaper plan.
Cool thanks for clarifying, sounds like you gotta sign up for two years then to qualify for any rollover?
$99 for 15 gig. Cmon man
How long after purchase do you have to activate the Woolies SIM?
Garbage offerings compared to competitors.
I just left Aldi mobile and joined boost. Lots of problems with their network, and terrible coverage. Boost is fantastic and similar prices.
What network problems exactly? In nearly three years I've never seen ANY. Overall the coverage is better than Optus and Vodaphone but obviously not as good as full Tls in some areas. Moral is if you want the best coverage (but still not always the best in particular places) then Tls/Boost is your only option.
All other bits are fine - but $15 gb for full year is BS.
I just moved to Aldi $25 a month plan & I get 20gb pm.
If people don’t want data - then maybe take a pay As you go prepaid SIM card - that will be cheaper
$25/m is $300pa, not even in the same ballpark. There is no PAYG within a bulls roar for many users. Your neg is BS because it's based on YOUR needs only. A bit like negging a deal for cheap fuel in Tasmania when you live in Darwin,
fair point. not saying my view = everyone's views. But still, the deal does not work for me & hence the Neg.
But still, the deal does not work for me & hence the Neg.
You'll presumably be negging 90% of all OzB deals then?
You need to update your knowledge of the rules for negging deals. Your reason is invalid.

"No Vote [ie NOT a neg]

365 Day $99 Super Pack 25GB data
Please don't post this as a deal. This is a rip-off deal and free ads for Aldi.
A neg from me.
What do the votes tell you? Not everyone needs to have their brains in idle/reverse and their eyes constantly glued to mindless social media/youtube junk.
Votes? The mindless people that keeps upvoting the nonsense eBay deal. Is that fair enough?
Agree there's plenty of mindless voting - yours being just one example. By all means comment with reasons for your opinion, but negging a deal because it doesn't suit your particular circumstances is nonsense.
In your next comment feel free to explain how the $99 plan is a "rip-off." Read other thread comments before you do so we don't have to repeat ourselves.
@[Deactivated]: Do you want me to "bold" everything for you like JV .
If it is a Bargain, then it is a deal. Individual circumstances does not make something a deal. If you are an early boomer, sure 15GB is more than enough, but that does not make it a deal in a market.
Do you want me to "bold" everything for you like JV .
Why would you want to emphasise your banality as well as your facile need for Facebook/Instragram/Youtube data?
Try absorbing some of the comments from people who have the $99 pack, or perhaps "phone a friend".
Ozbargain phone plan deals - or deals for phones themselves for that matter - have nothing to do with a market, especially one which has myriad offerings which suit different circumstances. Like most deals it's personal choice based on needs, availabe funds, service etc etc. Suffice to say your assumption that everyone thinks or behaves like you do is a massive overestimation.
Your silence on my question is instructive but I'll give you another chance - how is the $99 plan "a ripoff" and where can I find a better deal from a reputable seller for casual TLs network use?
@[Deactivated]: This
but negging a deal because it doesn't suit your particular circumstances is nonsense
And this
for casual TLs network use
Hypocrisy is strong with you mate. Majority of population does not need Telstra to make a reliable casual call. Wanting Telstra is a circumstancial need that meets only small number of people like rural/remote areas.
Here: Optus $89 60GB Optus network that provides 98.5% coverage.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/629410@No ONE: Thanks for the link. I can understand why YOU might think that's a great deal but swapping to an OS-owned, second tier network with well-known blackspots in both city and country regions (read comments in this and many other Ozb phone plan deals if need confirmation), with more congestion and slower speeds, offering data I don't need, and which has a 20% higher recharge cost, is not MY idea of improvement.
read comments in this and many other Ozb phone plan deals
All I see (in this deal) your reply to every comment defending this deal. You gotta stop enforcing people accepting your argument. Bad deal is a bad deal.
@No ONE: Opening both eyes sometimes helps although we often see only what we want to see. Seems you're one of a minority who still believes that Optus service is as good as Telstra's in cities. Anecdotal evidence says that overall it isn't.
You gotta stop thinking that your needs are everyone else's when it's as plain as the nose on your face that they aren't.
@[Deactivated]: Mate, you need to take off some time from the screen and stop being keyboard warrior defending Aldi Mobile.
The deal is about value for money for general users not for boomers.
If it provided 60GB at least, I would have upvoted as being value for money.
You gotta stop thinking that your needs are everyone else's when it's as plain as the nose on your face that they aren't.
You forced my hands to give you statics. On average, users use 8.4GB per month in Australia on mobile network, now that does not sound like minority Australian, does it? The mean will more likely be over 8.4GB per month as heavy data users are compensating boomers.
Put your words where your mouth is.@No ONE: Seems you don't understand what a deal is. so let me spell it out in simple words. Deals can be anything, targeted at anyone - including "minorities" and those with specialist requirements. They are NOT solely for some amorphous majority concocted by your imagination. There's nothing remotely complex about the concept. For example: looking for a bike? Average Joe's needs are entirely different from cycling aficionados who want better quality specs and hence are prepared to pay more. As I've already suggested, negging a deal for a low spec bike because it doesn't suit YOUR needs would be garbage.
It may come as a surprise but there are numerous phone plans out there for users who live in the alternate reality of social media 18 hours a day. And, shock horror, there are also plans which suit moderate users as well as those who live in the real world. The fact that some of those plans don't fit your needs doesn't make them "rip offs".
@No ONE: Nice find - that is leaps and bounds better than aldi's joke of an offer.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/629410 ($89)@w37hsyea: Again, given your votes on this thread, I can also understand why YOU might think that's a great deal. Perhaps you can have a go at explaining how swapping to an OS-owned, second tier network with well-known blackspots in both city and country regions, with more congestion and slower speeds, offering data packages many don't need, and which has a 20% higher recharge cost than Aldi constitutes a better deal.
You clearly don't know but Aldi has also had their $99 plan at $89 (and may do again late this year). Unlike your Catch plan however, their recharge is always $99 while yours - on the inferior network - is $120.
Phone plans are small bikkies but my advice to you is that whatever you do don't get a home loan without taking professional advice.
@No ONE: What was NO the answer to again No ONE? Ah yes, I remember now.
Do you and @w37hsyea understand the basics of what constitutes a deal. NO
Does @w37hsyea - whose dog appears to have eaten his homework - understand the difference between Telstra and Optus services, or why $89+$120 > $99+$99? NO
@[Deactivated]: Let me get this straight - I assume your educated.
Your points of argument below - seeing as you don't understand value comparisons.
'OS-owned' doesn't determine value.
Second-tier by your own definition and Aldi has comparable black-spots.
You are stating that 15gig is better than a lower-cost higher capacity offering from Catch Connect.Incredible how you can't see beyond the bias of your own posts. THIS IS NOT A DEAL when other offers are exceedingly better value. Jesus christ.
Let me get this straight - I assume your educated.
Your assumption is for once accurate. I'm certainly educated enough to know how to spell you're for example (sorry).
OS-owned' doesn't determine value.
You're stating that value is the only reason why something is a deal. Wrong yet again. I'm repeating myself but you obviously didn't comprehend. Value - a subjective judgement in most cases - is a major component but there are plenty of others - including product quality, place of manufacture, after sales service, etc. That's why people pay a bit more for brands over generic for example, Au or USA made in lieu of Chinese etc, businesses with b&m stores over online.
Second-tier by your own definition and Aldi has comparable black-spots.
Your guesswork about service black spots is indicative of your ignorance. The Telstra MVNO network which Aldi uses is overall faster AND has fewer blackspots than Optus in cities. Google will help clear that up should you be interested.
You are stating that 15gig is better than a lower-cost higher capacity offering from Catch Connect.
Wrong again. I'm not stating anything of the sort. I'm simply stating that the overall Aldi $99 package is obviously a good deal for many people and that for me it's significantly more attractive than the linked Catch one. I've already shown you the error of your claim regarding pricing. Perhaps you should research the concept of whole of life costs and "value". The up front cost of something is not the single or most significant factor in what constitutes a deal for most savvy consumers. Boost for example has plenty of good up front deals but their recharges are significantly higher than their "new customer" deals. Classic trap for young players.
Two question
- Can a existing aldi customer join this plan?
- Can you remain on the $99 the following year. So in other words, after 365 days go by, you can autorecharge on the same planYes
Not seeing any bargains here…
may be good for someone elderly just need calls and sms, just wondering if there's an expiry on activation, I know someone wanting to buy this but keep missing out due to current long expiry not yet expired.
Say if one purchased this in-store, how long can we wait to activate, looking at late October sort of activation, it'd be niceRead comments above. Your question has been asked and answered at least twice already.
Yep, thanks for that, rolled up and got my answer
I signed up for the one-year pack and lost my accumulated data rollover. Is that normal/expected?
Accumulated data from another plan? Probably (from memory) but you might be able to get them to restore it if you ring and explain you didn't know that would happen.
Yes, I had a monthly plan which had some rollover data (around 22 GB), and recharged with the "365 day super pack", and the rollover amount went to zero.
