    Any idea how long before one had to recharge with the recharge voucher, ie can I buy another one now to use 12 months from now?

    • WatchNerd on 04/10/2021 - 08:43

      Not sure but why risk it? There will be other deals closer to the date you need.

      • slackme on 04/10/2021 - 11:03

        I don't remember voucher was discounted before.

        • hawkeye93 on 04/10/2021 - 11:09

          Last year, iirc.

    • hawkeye93 on 04/10/2021 - 08:47

      It's generally recommended to activate a SIM within 12 months from the date of purchase. But it's usually on sale so you can buy another one next year. No need to stock.

      • WatchNerd on 04/10/2021 - 08:50

        Sim starter packs are different to recharge vouchers.

        You need to activate your SIM within 30 days of purchase
        or by the date advertised in a promotion (whichever is earlier) in order
        to take advantage of the inclusions in any advertised plans.

        I can't find anything about recharge voucher expiry.

        • hawkeye93 on 04/10/2021 - 08:53
          +1

          Yeah, you need to activate within 30 days to secure the inclusion advertised. After that, you have to take any thing available at that time, e.g. they change the data allowance to 50GB.

          • craving on 04/10/2021 - 09:24

            @hawkeye93: I'm also confused regarding the activation date. Because with some providers I noticed there's actually an 18 - 24 months expiry date even though they said to be activated within 30 days. But the clause says 'to take advantage of the inclusions'. To me that sounds like if they were giving out extra bonus data. So in theory it should be safe until it expired.

            I don't think they could change it to 50GB or even 80GB. The product is for 60GB therefore it stays 60GB. You will only lose the advertised bonus.

            • 0jay on 04/10/2021 - 09:54

              @craving: Advertised bonuses change though. I agree you'll get the 60GB that's the standard regardless but there may be 3 different bonus offers over 12 months you may have to activate. You should get whatever offer is current on the date of activation.

            • poohduck on 04/10/2021 - 11:15

              @craving: I'm guessing they could add data, because that is no loss to you. I doubt that they could subtract data, because you're paying for whatever is advertised ie 60gb or 120gb etc.

              I'm not much of a mobile data user with amaysim unlimited 1gb plan ($10 month). They've upped that to 2gb month (still at $10). Prior to that they were often giving me a bonus extra gb. Now they often give me a bonus extra 2gb (total of 4gb).

              • 0jay on 04/10/2021 - 12:22

                @poohduck:

                amaysim unlimited 1gb plan ($10 month)

                That's 13 months a year though, right?

                • poohduck on 04/10/2021 - 13:41

                  @0jay: Do you mean 28 day months? If so, I don't know, and no disrespect intended, I'm not bothered if it is. It is now a 2gb plan, still $10. I'm not suggesting this would suit anyone here though - they'd all want more data.

                  • 0jay on 04/10/2021 - 13:54

                    @poohduck: Yeah it's just an extra $10 a year but part of the value proposition. I was curious as I think I could survive on that plan but having a pool of data works better for me and a $10 saving's worth having all else being more or less equal.

                    • roonie on 04/10/2021 - 14:39

                      @0jay: Im really fond of the annual plans as my consumption is irregular. eg. if Im at home, I could be using less than a Gb/mth but travelling could see Gb/day

      FYI, From my experience. Last time coles mobile recharge on sale on January 21 the voucher expire just 10 months from the date of your purchase. I would recommend do not stock this voucher. If you plan to use within 10 months. This is the right recharge for you for existing customer. Because last time l brought and check the recharge voucher date of expire it not cover until my expire date so l sent a compliant form to coles mobile and get a refund in a few week. Whenever you purchase this recharge 10 months will expire for coles mobile. I hope this info would be help.

    • HeWhoKnows on 06/10/2021 - 18:30

    Bonus is nothing compared with the monthly 10% grocery discount with Woolworths mobile, which is also better for Telstra network.

      • NoApostrophePlurals on 04/10/2021 - 11:38

        Sim slutting and exclusively buying half price specials from colesworth beats Aldi on savings, although what you eat for the week is dictated by what's on sale.

      Yeah, but Woolies prepaid doesn't include international call so this may be better for many people.

      Not really, Woolies is 10% off each month, capped at $50. This is a single shop, capped at $30.

      • wavesgreen on 04/10/2021 - 16:14

        Plus this is an online shop only whereas you can actually do 1x online shop and 1x in-store with WW each month to get two 10% off shops.

        • Tock on 05/10/2021 - 20:43

          :0
          really?? I just assumed it registered if you used either in a month. Is it via code?

            @Tock: Yep:

            https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/653331

            You get a code to use for the online shop, in-store when you scan your linked Everyday Rewards card it asks you if you want to redeem your 10%.

            When it first launched WW were pretty loose on redemptions so people were able to do multiple in-store shops every month. But then WW cracked down.

            EDIT - If you follow this link, there are other ways to get multiple in-store shops:

            https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/575978

            For instance having your partner as a supplementary card holder on a WW Visa card but with a second linked Everyday Rewards card.

    It's using optus network, if you are driving in M1, please expect call quality drops and cut off time to time.
    Coles mobile support wouldn't do anything for you, they will ask you to specify address where calls get cut… you say M1, they wouldn't do anything for you lol
    no refund, compensation as well.

    I would suggest just go with Woolworths mobile or Boost as they are more expensive (but similar price range) & Woolworths being big discount for 10% grocery off for every month.
    Wasted money and just hope some other people don't go through what I have gone through.

    For anyone in the same boat (365-day prepaid) I strongly suggest always comparing Coles to CatchConnect etc. and churn when you need to.

    For comparison:

    CatchConnect is currently offering 240GB of data for $109
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/653050
    - Optus
    - no data rollover
    - excludes international sms or calls
    - can pay with Catch giftcards (from e.g. CR) on catch.com.au
    - earns cashback on CR or SB

    Coles current offer: 60GB for $95
    - Optus
    - rollover up to 50GB data
    - includes international sms or calls (15 countries)
    - can pay with Flybuys $ in-store (and earn Flybuys $ in return)

    For reference, I am currently on Boost (Telstra) but 4G network has been horrible in my area in the last month (and there are no attractive offers) so I am likely to terminate it.

    • sepa on 04/10/2021 - 12:23

      Agree. I'm also dumping Boost. Telstra coverage is no better than Optus most everywhere I go, sometimes worse, and they are a pushing me off my old plan and upping the price.

      CatchConnect is definitely the best deal right now but today is the last day!

      • Euthyphro on 05/10/2021 - 09:12

        Depending on where you live. Telstra coverage is better than Optus in my case.

        • sepa on 05/10/2021 - 11:01

          Indeed, it all depends on your towers. In some areas Telstra is better, in some Optus, in others no appreciable difference. I live in Melbourne, where Optus had far better reception than Telstra in two of the last three houses I have lived in, and on some hiking and other trips around Victoria. Coverage maps for Victoria bear this out. Telstra shines in remote areas of Australia, like outback Queensland and WA, which I rarely if ever visit.

          • Euthyphro on 05/10/2021 - 11:23

            @sepa: I am in Sydney. The Optus signal is terrible comparing to that of Telstra.
            One more point, I wish all these telco companies are Australia owned so the profit stays here.

    • w37hsyea on 05/10/2021 - 08:35

      Boost is 4g Telstra and Coles is 4g Optus.

      Its more a weight of rural needs, blackspot locations and value per gb comparison.

      Some of the Boost deals here are amazing, if you can hold off till a proper discount appears.

  • Bloozzz on 05/10/2021 - 04:21

      Id imagine you have to start a new account and port your current number out then port back into the new coles. Just taking a guess, unless this can be used as a straight recharge.

    Been on boost and now on this. I can't wait to go back to boost. My major issue here is that if you are using data and voice at the same time and driving then you are basically effed.

    I learnt this the hard way. Data is dropped and it goes back to 3g which means your apps will stop working. The only fix I found so far is to hang up to get date too work again.

    Stay away from it if you are using data and voice often at the same time

    I'm on the Coles $150/120Gb plan which is due to expire on 14/12/21 and was hoping to purchase the currently discounted $119 recharge voucher and apply it just prior to my existing plans expiry. I rang Coles Mobile this morning to ask if this was okay and the fellow said it should be fine but is dependent on the vouchers expiry date which nobody knows including the Coles staff until I purchase one. I still have 100Gb left and want to roll over 50Gb so don't want to stuff up the renewal but am also keen to save $30, the Coles fellow also said to disable the renewal auto payment option before applying the voucher.
