Answers for "Why Telstra, not boost, what's the difference"

  1. Boost does not support Telstra 4GX network. Thus in some particular areas, internet speed may be slower than Telstra.

Boost do have the same 3G ad 4G coverage as Telstra and using the same internet gateway. while BELONG, LYCA, ALDI etc only use the wholesale network which have only around 63% geographic coverage (population coverage is quite small difference)

  1. Boost use VOIP for international calls, while Telstra use VoLTE which get much high call quality.

After activation, the expiry is 12 months.

    May I ask if this deal is for new Telstar customers only? I'm using this prepaid plan now, and I will need to recharge it early next year.

    • Maestrok on 17/11/2021 - 00:49

      considering they're starter packs (not recharges) you'd need to port out and then port back in.

    • Employeesimonline @ Simonline on 17/11/2021 - 14:45

      Yes, new customer only, you need to port out and port in if your are telstra/boost customer

  • Maestrok on 17/11/2021 - 00:48

    what is the expiry date for the sim cards? (ignoring the current activation bonus - understand that changes).

    • SpotOn on 17/11/2021 - 09:04

      I would like to know this too. Also if someone know if these can be changed to an esim?

      • ozzieozzieozzie on 17/11/2021 - 20:26

        I've been running a Telstra PrePaid eSim for almost 12 months.

    There's also a Boost Mobile $300 Prepaid SIM Starter Kit also down to $234 and has 240gb included (260 if activated by 29 Nov) might be better for some if they dont need the international minutes and rather some more data.

      Keen to see the evidence - here's the Boost FAQ on the 'pool:

      https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/boost_mobile

      Boost use VOIP for international calls, while Telstra use VoLTE which get much high call quality.

      Sorry what does that mean? VOLTE is Voice over 4G (aka LTE) - while the call is on the mobile network. Happens with Boost and Telstra. How can a call be VoLTE when it's no longer over 4G - eg an overseas satellite link?

      And VoIP can mean any quality - there are low bandwidth codecs (G729 @ 8kbps) up to high bandwidth G722 at 64kpbs. HD Voice (on 3G ang 4G) is AMR-WB (IIRC) at 22kbps.

      TL;DR?

      High bandwidth VOIP is "better" than VoLTE.

      Most likely - overseas Boost calls are routed via low bandwidth VOIP, Telstra calls are routed via high bandwidth VOIP. Doesn't make sense though…

      • Xizor on 17/11/2021 - 07:56

        When i used to work at Telstra many years ago it was the norm that mvno/wholesale and anything not the mother Telstra brand would typically have limited network coverage and network service capability. It was very important to not compromise the Telstra network / brand premium. That said, anything could have changed since.

    • tonydav on 17/11/2021 - 06:36

      Boost use VOIP for international calls, while Telstra use VoLTE which get much high call quality.

      Interesting. I usually call my daughter in the US via FB messenger but the other day called her via my "normal" phone. I'm with Boost and was shocked at how shit the quality was compared to the quality of FB. Not that it's a deal breaker as I would normally call using FB.

  • Black Hole on 17/11/2021 - 05:51

    Telstra 150 is out of stock. Can I port my Boost to Telstra without the Vodafone route?

    • got on 17/11/2021 - 08:22

      I would also like to know? Has anyone done this?

    • txb on 17/11/2021 - 11:40

      Usually you have to port out of the telstra network completely. So I believe you have to go through voda or optus network before jumping back to telstra.

  • Elpres on 17/11/2021 - 07:49

    I’ve got one from last year expiring soon. If I get the $5 Voda with this, does Voda and Telstra support esim for these respectively?
    I currently get 5g on Telstra, will that no longer be the case?

    • stirlo on 17/11/2021 - 09:25

      No 5G on Telstra prepaid yearly plans (only on prepaid $60 monthly plan). Yes Telstra supports eSIM for prepaid unlike Boost.

  • boomramada on 17/11/2021 - 08:24

    I wish I could get them discounted like this from a shop front.

  • Super Saiyan on 17/11/2021 - 08:56

    This is a good deal (I'm on this currently) but just a word of warning for those currently on Telstra already and looking to port out/port in to take up the deal.. I did the same process earlier this year and Telstra royally botched up the port, it ended up in some black hole where "the relevant team will call me back" which of course never happened.
    Out of desperation it took an email sent to the CEO's email address to get someone competent enough to show some ownership and see it through.

    YMMV though so just putting it out there.

    • Elpres on 17/11/2021 - 09:20

      The port out or the port in?

      • Super Saiyan on 17/11/2021 - 09:22

        Port out went without a hitch. It was the port back in to Telstra where everything went sideways

  • nyq28 on 17/11/2021 - 09:09

    I’m currently with coles. (I think use optus)

    Do I need to port out and port in.
    Or can port in straight away.

    Cheers

    Is there a deadline to activate this?

    • Employeesimonline @ Simonline on 17/11/2021 - 14:51

      you have about one year to activate the sim card

  • Rickyvii on 17/11/2021 - 11:04

    Can I bring my boost number to this deal? Thanks :)

  • terrys on 17/11/2021 - 11:06

    Just a reminder that Telstra doesn't offer 5G access on this plan.

    • 10muscat on 17/11/2021 - 14:50

      5G: Does Boost give on its plan ?

      • terrys on 23/11/2021 - 10:43

        None of the resellers offer 5G atm, the telcos keep that to themselves, and don't offer it on all planes. This will do 4GX which gave me 79Mb/s down,14Mb/s up whereas 5G gives 80-150 Mb/s down 5Mb/s at home, and ~ 550 Mb/s down 25 Mb/s up at work.

    I’m on Boost anytime plus with over 150gb expiring mid Jan, barely scratch the usage. what’s the next best plan? Probably stick to $150 year recharge?

  • sam9879 on 17/11/2021 - 22:48

    Can i port to this Telstra plan directly from Woolworths Mobile?

    • 23jj on 23/11/2021 - 23:28

      I believe you can port your numbers from Woolworths Mobile directly.

      • sam9879 on 26/11/2021 - 18:42

        Ported from Woolworths mobile to Telstra $300 prepaid. After receiving activation confirmation email, i popped in Telstra sim only to see SOS. Tried reboot and different phone and it didn’t work. Logged in to my Telstra app to find that all details of my prepaid recharge and number were correct. Live chat with Telstra was pretty much useless. Had to go to Store to get the Sim swapped and that worked within 10 minutes.

        Came back home connected to WiFi and used ‘Transfer or Restore eSIM’ option in my Telstra app to switch to eSIM. Worked flawlessly. No barcodes to scan. It simply adds a profile to setup eSim on your phone.

        I got $300 365days prepaid plan for $235. Very good value considering it includes Full Telstra network, VoLTE, 200GB data, international calling and eSIM.

  • Stoodoo on 22/11/2021 - 21:58

    Bought this deal last time simonline had it available, just now ported directly from prepaid boost mobile, to telstra. All done online, no issues, and done in probably less than 20 minutes. Thanks Simonline.

    Hi @simonline,

    I received my Telstra sim 2 days ago (Order #1873) and on checking with Telstra I have been confirmed that this prepaid sim plan doesn't support International Roaming.

    I therefore have been calling you on 0498158888 to discuss my return and refund but no one answers the call.
    I have also sent a few mails to [email protected] but no response again.

    I haven't opened the envelope and sim card pack yet.
    As per your 14 days policy, please can you help me with the return and refund.

    I am travelling overseas tomorrow thus will be dispatching back the simcard back to you today at Simonline, Po box 3000, SYNDAL Victoria 3149, Australia.

    Please could you respond to my email to close this issue.
    Thanks.

  • unknown-entity on 25/11/2021 - 13:10

    whats the cheapest method to port out and back in? (I'm currently on this sim with Telstra)

    • hopper on 02/12/2021 - 08:36

      Asperprevious comments u can use this as recharge.YMMV

  • peterlikesmilk on 02/12/2021 - 09:36

    Hi there, Telstra $300 prepaid now offers 225GB data - if I buy it from simonline, will I be able to get 225GB instead of 150GB?

    • Employeesimonline @ Simonline on 05/12/2021 - 17:39

      Yes, it's now confirmed our cards will get 225gb if activated before Jan 31th.

  • Rahagarw on 05/12/2021 - 16:54

    Hi @simonline,

    I had returned the unopened simcard promptly and Aus Post tracking status is awaiting collection at SYNDAL LPO since 29th November.

    Please can you process my refund (Order #1873).

    I have also sent a few mails to [email protected] but no response again.

    Please could you close this issue.

    Thanks.

    • Employeesimonline @ Simonline on 05/12/2021 - 17:38

      Hi, Rahagarw,

      via checking the account, the order #1873 had been refunded a few days ago. It depends on your bank when will you get the money appears on your card/ bank account.

      usually it takes around 3- 5 business days. If you not get the money by Wednesday, please give your bank a call.

  • eman resu on 20/12/2021 - 14:10

    Can the Telstra prepaid be used with an ESIM?
