    The $10 deal has no phone. It only says phone comes with the $248?

  • bchliu on 16/03/2012 - 08:11

    I dont get the comments floating around.. From reading the title and descriptions am I right in saying:

    $10 will get you 2 months of unlimited National land line and Mobile calls, SMS and 8GB of data (4GB per month equivalent).

    And you can resubscribe to this every 2 months, which means you pay $60 per year? Or cant you renew it for that price and have to go onto one of their other real plans?

    Isnt that better than the aforementioned 356 day / 180 day plan (unless you want that crappy HTC explorer)?

    • retiredfeline on 16/03/2012 - 08:28

      The $10 offer is introductory, you'll have to go normal after that or hop onto some other introductory offer elsewhere.

      • manyu882 on 16/03/2012 - 11:24

        Good for those who use it to tether. Once expended, just change to a new sim and no.

  • leemako on 16/03/2012 - 08:20

    So you cant just purchase heaps of these and keep using the vouchers on the original sim? Does the sim come preloaded or do you get a top up voucher for the 60day expiry?

    The woolies deal was so good because you just purchased heaps of sims and vouchers then used the vouchers on the original activated sim card.

    Using that deal I got myself a year of mobile credit for under $100. 45day expiry each top up, 5GB data, $250 to Optus and $250 to any number.

  • bemybubble on 16/03/2012 - 08:36

    For blackberry users redbull is definitely depressing as its internet services arn't compatible (same with amaysim for that matter).

    At least amaysim is iPhone compatible, redbull is nearly getting there but then have a read of their iphone page.

    http://www.redbullmobile.com.au/pre-paid/help-support/handse…

    Still reckon if you have any smart phone other than a blackberry that amaysim is definitely the way to go (IMO) or else blackberry users switch to boosts $50 unlimited plan is the cheapest I could find.

  • binatang on 16/03/2012 - 08:37

    My suggestion if you dont need the phone. Purchase the $10 so as to check coverage in your area. No doubt this deal will be repeated whereby can purchase longer term. My (2nd) Amaysim deal from last year expires April 4 so should blend in. Anyone up with groupon's guarantee (if they have one)? Would time permit to:purchase 1x $10 deal plus the 365 day deal with fone. If the coverage, once you activate the $10 deal is shit-could you enact any guarantee/refund they may have to rescind the 365 day deal and get a refund??
    Addenda…. cannot find activation date anywhere. Me just stick with the $10 deal

      Just asked for a refund from Groupon, under the 'cooling off' T&C (can ask to cancel voucher within 7 working days of day after receiving it). First, Groupon never answered numerous emails within 14 days. When I rang to complain (15min on hold to Sydney) they only wanted to give me credit, not a refund. So not good. Their guarantee covers the trader not providing the service, or a poor quality service. When I did not receive a delivery of wine, the wine company contacted Groupon for me helped get a refund, & that was deposited to my account. So a complaint through the trader may work better than just complaining to Groupon. Good luck!!

  • ozzie13 on 16/03/2012 - 09:11

    Can this be used by people who already have red bull mobile accounts as a top-up? Can't see anything in the T&Cs that it is for new users only.

    • retiredfeline on 16/03/2012 - 09:26

      It comes tied to a SIM, and I don't think they would be willing to port RBM to RBM. After all their goal is to get new subscribers.

      • ozzie13 on 16/03/2012 - 09:36

        But I should be able to set up a new account and go back to the old one once the 60 days expire.

        • retiredfeline on 16/03/2012 - 09:39

          Sure, if you aren't expecting to be contacted at your normal number during that time. But that's not a top-up as you were hoping for.

      • Mary Poppins on 16/03/2012 - 14:31

      "$10 for Red Bull MOBILE Access 60 prepaid plan is for NEW customers only. Customers will receive a Red Bull MOBILE SIM Pack with the Access 60 plan already preloaded onto the SIM"

  • BargainBenno on 16/03/2012 - 09:52

    If this was on the Optus Network I would consider it but it is on the Vodaphone one and to be honest the service even here in the CBD of Brisbane I would struggle to get 8 GB Downloaed as it is so poor.

      So, use your unlimited calls & SMS to -campaign- for Vodafone to improve their network:

      Call & SMS ACMA, you MPs, at all levels, all media that will have you - including talk-jocks, etc.

      (Caution: If EVERYONE did this, V'fone would either they -fix- their N/W or they'd go broke for lack of customers! :-)

      • retiredfeline on 16/03/2012 - 10:21

        It's not just their network they have to improve. They keep turning on Call Catcher on my prepaid account and then I have to go disable it again. Very annoying as calls get diverted after 7 rings if I don't get to the phone in time. Also occasionally their usage page is broken. Though I don't use it much now, I just SMS 1512.

      • Nezuji on 16/03/2012 - 11:20

        Well, I don't use my phone for calls or SMS that much, and I'm currently paying about $5 per month, and looking at an even cheaper plan at the moment. I thought that this might be a way to keep phone functionaly for those times I do want it, but to have a bit of Internet on the phone itself as well, so that I could move my Pocket Wifi out of my pocket and into my bag.

        • Turd on 16/03/2012 - 11:21

          Sounds perfect though for what you need it for. Just port out after the 2 months.

          It not worth the hassle of porting twice in two months (there and back), just to temporarily solve a problem that's not really a problem in the first place.

          Another plan to look at is Amaysim's AYG. Minimum spend is $10 every quarter.

        • daver on 16/03/2012 - 21:14

          Or Savvytel's 10c/min plan, ultra low overheads there as well.

          edit: though $50/gb(?) probably would rule it unsuitable

        • Nezuji on 20/03/2012 - 19:09

          Thanks for the advice, guys! Anyone in the same boat might also want to look at Crazy John's FLATChat plan, although again that one runs to $30/GB for data, which is why this one interested me.

          @eurosp
          I have written documentation that says 6 months, so I'll go with that.

          "Red bull MOBILE SIM Starter Pack must be activate 6 months from date of purchase". I think they mean "within" 6 Months.

          It is written on the Voucher I got from Groupon in the Fine Print. Others who bought later may have different terms and conditions?

          Also from Red Bull Mobile site, right down the bottom in fine print
          http://www.redbullmobile.com.au/pre-paid/prepaid-plans/
          "The SIM Starter Pack and recharge voucher you are purchasing must be activated within six months of the date on the proof of purchase for the SIM Starter Pack and recharge voucher."
          Given that I am buying a SIM Starter Pack and Access 60 Recharge, I think it applies equally to me.

      You'll need to cut the SIM down to a micro SIM. (Since apple have their own quirky, patented micro SIM, proprietary stuff).

      Also it's written that the APN stuff may not work properly but I read somewhere that if you remove the 'proxy' it will work? I dont know the exact details check out the massive whingpool thread for more details:

        If it was indeed 6 months activation then redbull will go bankrupt because people will buy the vouchers in truck loads. This means people can buys 4 vouchers activate them in this sequence day 0, day day 60, day 120, day 180 effectively $10x4 to last 8 months (6 months plus 2 months if last voucher is activated on day 180). Happy to discuss but sounds unlikely scenario to be allowed by redbull.

  • hello007 on 16/03/2012 - 16:02

    I think they actually changed the terms and conditions - there was no mention of the 90 days to activate the sim card when I got mine last night.
    Nor was their any mention of six months to activate.
    I read the six months only on here. Apparently its in the Ts and Cs - but I haven't checked.

    • Steptoe on 16/03/2012 - 17:25

      I'll back you on the changing of T&C

      Read your voucher, right hand column.

      "Red bull MOBILE SIM Starter Pack must be activate 6 months from date of purchase" on mine, so that's binding AFAIK.

  • hello007 on 16/03/2012 - 16:11

    And a search for the terms "90 days" and "Six months" and "activate" in the Red Bull full terms and conditions - reveals nothing. … interesting?

    If it's not in the Full terms and conditions - then how can they enforce a prevention of multiple recharges by the same customer using the $10 deal?

    The terms and conditions seem to be Red Bull's general Ts and Cs - and not written specifically for this deal.

    • Steptoe on 16/03/2012 - 17:27

      Only for NEW customers. Use one and your aren't new anymore. The credit is in the SIM already, so no recharge voucher to be used, unlike the Woolworths deal.

  • hello007 on 16/03/2012 - 16:41
    +1

    Also - just called the Red Bull call centre.

    The 90 Days to activate the sim card STARTS from the DAY YOU PAY your $10. Not from the day you receive the sim card in the mail. They say allow up to three weeks (21 days) for delivery. So in effect - IF it takes that long to arrive - you would only have 69 days from the time of receiving the Sim card to activate the service.

    So then you could recharge one 60-day period - and then start a second period (even under someone else's name) before Day 90 from today.

    It's just good info for anyone buying multiples of these cards to be aware of.

    By the above you can probably get two cards if you have two names to register them under - plus the ID check info etc for each person.

    That would give you 120 days of usage. But Alas - no more :-)

  • fermium on 16/03/2012 - 18:59

    So you have 6 months to activate the SIM card, is that right? In that case, it will be worthwhile to buy 3 of these, then just port to a $2 simcard (or one of the 8 Woolworths mobile SIMcards I have lying around) and port back to RBM so you are again a 'new customer'. 6 months of unlimited phone calls for 30 bux, thats pretty epic.

    • Steptoe on 16/03/2012 - 19:11
      +1

      If you haven't purchased yet, I'd say you will be bound by the 90 day activation period.

        even if you have to activate within 90 days you still can get 2, activate one as soon as you received it and then activate the 2nd one before the 90 days expired; that way you can get a good 4 months out of the 2 sims =)

          Not in the same name. Only for NEW customers. I doubt you can be a "Born Again Virgin" customer

    Yep, buying two. Much better value than my current mobile plan for data usage.

    I'll stick it in an old android phone rooted, and use it as a wireless modem for my laptop and tablet. 8gb = plenty and much cheaper than most plans. Then just chuck out the simcard.

    red bull mnvo + vodafone. buyer beware.
    though 17c/day does seem attractive on the surface.

    $10 deal sold out — 30 minutes before they said it would end …

    How much credibility does Vodafone now have left? —still playing their potential customers like suckers/guitar strings … :-(

    So what if they sold a few hundred more in the next 30 minutes …

    Must be a lemon doing the marketing :-)

      may be i am the last person that purchase that simcard :)

    Vodafone? The network coverage is just horrible here in Perth…
    Won't reckon to anyone unless really out of choice.
    Have to pass this one.

    Missed the $10 deal too. However now the countdown clock says 95 hours remaining for some reason. Hope they'll extend it :P

    And for those complaining about Vodafone's coverage - I actually did bring the matter to the TIO last month and miraculously the reception went from 0 bars 3G (usually stays on 2G) to 3 bars 3G… Bought an Optus SIM to try out and it also only receives 2G signal (iPhone). I live quite close to Brisbane's CBD so it's funny how only Telstra works fine in this area.

    I did transfer to the big T in the meantime but would consider VF on a more permanent basis if coverage improves to 4 or more bars so the phone won't drain the battery that fast.

      they are selling the $248, try to clear their stock, if they selling for $100, I will be very tempted to purchase one
