      Unless you bring your number across to felix, new numbers are assigned randomly - think of it as a nice surprise when you receive your SIM in the mail :)

      As with anything mobile, it's highly location dependent. At my house Vodafone is a bit faster than Optus, while Telstra is terrible. With less people on Vodafone network due to its past reputation, it actually becomes less congested and better network throughput.

    • MasterScythe on 13/07/2021 - 11:34

      Depends where you are.

      In qld, they tower share with a lot of telstra. So, very extensive.

      If you're lucky enough to have a dedicated voda tower near you, they own a huge 4G spectrum compared to the other carriers, so you can expect faster 4G and no slowdown at peak.

      Do remember, thats an "if" you're lucky enough to be in reception.

      Also, their blackspot project, to put towers up where nobody else covers all across qld, was completed iirc about 2015? And means that even some suuuuper remote properties get voda.

      All in all, in qld, its "good", but there are obviously pretty significant spots where their network has less coverage.

    felix is designed for use in a mobile phone. You can absolutely hotspot to your personal devices, such as your laptop when needed, but felix can't be used as a replacement for home internet, or as a hotspot for other people’s devices.

    So no replacing your NBN with this.

    • hotdish on 13/07/2021 - 10:44

      Incorrect.

          +1

          No, not in a legal sense its not.

          That wording on a contract, indicates the service offers no guarantees toward a use case like that.

          Basically, its covering them from needing to 'meet expectations' of home internet users.

          It would need to say "a user shall not use" or such, for it to apply to the owner.

          You're all good :)

          The main reason for that "condition" seems to be that if it were a replacement for the NBN, then it would be subject to the broadband tax, which would add to the monthly cost. So it's definitely not a replacement for the NBN, but you can use it however you like.

    What is the last day the SIM can be activated…13/8/21?

    After applying the code FLX010 under ‘Add Promo or Referral Code’, can the service be cancelled within the first month and nothing will be debited from the nominated credit card?

      Service can be cancelled within first month without incurring any further payments. When signing up, you'll be asked for a valid payment card (we use this to verify your ID) - there will be a $1 pre-authorisation charge which will be released back on your payment card.

      You have approximately 18 months to activate your new SIM. Please note as part of T&C's the following: New customers only. One per customer.

      • aussiematthew on 13/07/2021 - 20:23

        Is it 18 months activation time for transferring a number across also? If I fill out the application with bringing my number across, will this effect my current service until I activate it? I want to try this service, but I am on a plan for a couple of months still.

          Previously offered in late March, early April. I activated on the 1st of May, on a spare no., and paused it on the 31st of May, b4 11:59pm e.s.t.
          An email, last week, said that service was no longer going to receive any txt or incoming calls.
          I'll grab this offer now, for my main no., as it's coming over from Optus.
          Tbh, you could pause it, aft 1 day, then wait a while, then un-pause the plan, to use the remaining free day's of the calendar month you started. 1st Oct, will give you 31 day's max, to spread out over 182 day's, afaik.

        No, ported 1 number to Kogan $14.90\3 months and also signed up on their $4.90 1 month.
        This tied me over for a few months.

        Wanted to join up with the recent Optus deal (450GB) but their customer service/sales team were absolutely useless and didn't know about this promo or could find it in their system.
        The issue apart from this one was a ID problem, another person had this issue also.

        Using Circles.Life again $22 for 50GB, so I'll see how that goes.
        Once I use up all data from Kogan.

    i've found at -93dBm, the download speed is 13-19Mbps from this review (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvKUEYQ7T_k) , and the upload speed is only 2-5 Mbps. Cannot complain at this price point, but if they unlock the upload speed that will be great. It looks like telstra, vodafone (kogan, lebara, and felix mobile) upload speed capped at 5Mbps - slow for backup and sharing multimedia contents and only optus mobile upload speed is 8-20Mbps :D

    • MasterScythe on 14/07/2021 - 11:52

      Its a per channel thing.
      If you can get a Telstra connection, and a nighthawk modem to do band aggregation, you can get around the 200mbps or so upload.

      Hey there, your current service won't be impacted whatsoever. When you're ready join, log back into the felix app and commence the switch then. The entire switch usually takes a few minutes and you will continue to have service on your current SIM until the switch is complete. You can find out more over at the felix helpsite - https://help.felixmobile.com.au/support/solutions/articles/5…

      Hey wildstone, yep - the plan is prepaid!

      • Italkdigital on 20/07/2021 - 03:02

        But since its direct debit it sort of behaves as postpaid, never took any notice can I remove the direct debit and have a couple months break, usually one has within 6 months to start up a prepaid by paying for the month, so one doesn't loose there number when no credit in prepaid simcard plan, so since this is prepaid will one still receive calls while no credit monthly within account

        Basically how does Felix prepaid behave as compared to normal prepaid plans?

        Again great service 👍😁

        • Black26 on 08/08/2021 - 04:20

          Being that there's a pre-paid authorization charge, yet a credit card is required, it could be a post-paid plan, in sheep's clothing. As i commented previously (above this comment), my incoming service, aft pausing the service, was only 2 month's. Kogan haa been as little as 7 day's. As long as you are aware, then it's pretty simple, and unlimited data is worth the trial, to see if you need NBN, or not…

      Makes sense.
      Optus wont speed limit their own servers, since it costs them nothing, as you're not leaving their network.

      Very common back in adsl days; you'd hit your speed limit for downloads; then just spend the rest of the month gaming online on your own iSP's servers at full speed.

      1. Move it closer to a window. Try different windows for the best one.

      If you're using it in a modem (even a little pocket cube portable modem); never underestimate the benefit antennas make.
      It has tiny -3db antennas internally, you can get a pair of 12db external antennas for below $50.

      Most cheaper phones with a removable back-plate still ALSO have an antenna port, if you look closely.

          The 5G Telstra Wifi Pro (ZTE MU500) modem I have I noticed running on 4G was better speed and signal then my cheap Alcatal/Huawei 4G portable modems, I'm guessing cause the ZTE has mimo antennas built into it, I think are 2x2 antennas and it also has carrier aggregation but there expensive on eBay around the $350 mark mind you second hand (but they hold there value) but my main reason for purchasing one is it has the option to connect external antennas on the 4G side and also an ethernet port out I use to connect directly to my pc through an ethernet cable, also its capable of connecting to 5G mmwave not that it will be available for few years to come, I'm actually still waiting for sub 5G to happen in my area were I live or even better 4G speeds to happen, so come on Optus your so close one tower away lolz

          No sorry, I've always used 4G as a replacement for home internet, so it's always warranted a decent modem, for speeds and reliability.
          I've never needed something that will just do, I've always wanted it to perform well (I'm a network engineer).

          The NETGEAR LTE 2120 was my go to, I've deployed it at over 100 sites, including rural towns and it's been wonderful.

          That said, things like these exist also:
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/640465

          Unfortunately licencing the 4G bands costs money, so if you're only willing to pay pennies, then most of the 'value' for the manufacturer gets eaten up in licencing.

              @Italkdigital: At the very least, if you want performance, finding out what frequency is used by your local tower, and buying a pair of antenna for the modem, will SKYROCKET the performance.

              I basically refuse to help people who have an LTE modem, claim it's slow, but have no antenna yet (other than telling them to buy an antenna :P)
              I've seen quintupple the performance in one site!

        When I was researching antennas I was lead to believe those inexpensive antennas have no effect.

        You would need an externally mounted antenna to the roof and some cabling, and the cost is around $200 iirc.

        But if you've had success with the crap on eBay, then more power to you

        • MasterScythe on 01/08/2021 - 20:06
          +1

          You were led to believe wrong.
          a PCB antenna can at most reach -3dbi.
          An actual antenna (either mono or dipole) can basically be as much gain as you wish; they tens to start at 3dbi.
          A lot of the ebay ones do not have a ground plane, and people buying them have never studied antenna theory; which is probably where that rumor comes from.
          They'll probably put them on their desk, or something NOT made of metal.
          I mount my antenna onto a baking-tray to act as the ground plane, and have seen upward of 7dbi increase (it's the same as when you build tinfoil ground planes for your WiFi modems)

          Whoever led you to believe that, should probably be struck from your list of reliable sources.

          If you're keen to learn about antennas, in an actual useful way (that will get you a skill for your resume also!) I'd suggest getting a HAM licence.
          It's very interesting stuff

            @MasterScythe: Actually always have wanted to get a HAM radio licence though haven't really investigated into it

            I'm just one of those nerds that drives around to different areas and 4G towers trying to beat my past speeds tests now more so with 5G towers

            A great Android mobile app I've found helpful is "Aus Phone Towers" to find a towers bandwidth and number of frequencies on that tower, shame were my place of home is I don't have great speeds though one part of my home I have reached over 85 Mbps (suxs couple towers down there is a 5G tower, so I'm waiting patiently) why important owning the ZTE mu500 modem and other portable 4G modems to move around to the best location, so big thanks might try out your idea of using a baking-tray as part of an antenna setup

            I'd say also you must have some juicy speed tests to share with us?, some of my best speed tests so far

              @Italkdigital: Honestly, nothing I keep logs of.
              I used to be in charge of setting up remote connections in super rural areas of inland and far north queensland for the company I worked for.
              So it was more about getting a usable speed, via directional antennas in area with previously zero reception, than it was breaking new speed records.

              I'm also a latency and reliability nerd more than anything else.
              I'm excited for 5G because every normie will be slowly migrated to it via 'new phones'; and as that happens the longer range 4G network will get much less congested.

    Does this stack with the free month from referal?

    Hi OP, I know it says 1 per customer, but I have 3 services in my name, one for me, one for my 12 year old son, and one for my elderly (76 year old) father. Would I be able to order 3 services if I use a unique email for each one?

  • Jjj888 on 01/08/2021 - 19:46

    Wow very happy I'm just wondering is this using the same network as KOGAN?

    I'm in the country and KOGAN is pretty slow here but I guess for $0 I'll try it out for a month. I just ordered one thanks guys.

    • MasterScythe on 01/08/2021 - 19:47

      Yes, they are both Vodafone.

      Whatever 4G modem you use, it's worth getting antennas, you'll be amazed with the difference.

  • Jjj888 on 01/08/2021 - 22:04

    Excellent deal

    Felix starts sending warning emails for those who use the sim in non-voice mobile device!

    • fufufu on 07/08/2021 - 00:52

      What do they say?

      • ifuggedxyz on 07/08/2021 - 01:35
        +2

        From 'the other forum';

        "We’re writing to inform you that we’ve detected unauthorised usage on your felix account. This is in breach of our SFOA and Fair Use Policy.

        We request that you immediately cease using your felix SIM in a non-mobile voice device, otherwise your service will be suspended within 7 days."

  • TIM VO on 07/08/2021 - 09:11

    For me I think they did some studies and figured out the very high demand in using the sim as a replacement for NBN, so they're starting to block and deploy a TPG home wireless broadband plan, everything is the same with felix plan, just the price will +20$, so 55$/m. We are on track. They give an attractive benefit, turn the blind eye, lure people to use, then create a motion to move people to the higher price. You can still use it if you could DYI to turn an old 4G phone to a router until the day they apply other policy. I do not support for unfair usage, but it's interesting to do. Just deem as a promotion for a while. Never last for ever.

    • Cheer on 07/08/2021 - 11:26

      Well, it's a no brainer to choose NBN over wireless.

      I think we all have known the true speeds are more like 10/10 during peak times, with it usually going to 5/5.

      How much did you download for them to terminate you?

  • Mickel07 on 09/08/2021 - 16:05

    Has anyone else received an email for using the SIM in non-mobile device? I've only seen the one reported so far

  • Sundubu on 11/08/2021 - 08:45

    Thanks Op. This should suffice until nbn is connected at my property (3-6 months).

  • Edge12 on 06/09/2021 - 13:07

    Hi all,
    Anyone have any idea if I'm eligible for this as I have already been their customer in March (I used the first month free deal) this year but the number has since been ported out ?
