    Good deal. Especially for the esim comparability.

  • sinners007 on 21/02/2022 - 14:38

    Are we able to use these sims as data sims, say, for an ipad. I don't see anything excluding that use in the T&Cs.

    • Associateddm02 @ Everyday Mobile from Woolworths on 21/02/2022 - 14:58

      You can if you want, as long as the device is compatible with the network per the device guidelines - https://mobile.woolworths.com.au/content/dam/Woolworths/Mobi…

      A SIM for a phone is exactly the same as a data only.SIM for a tablet or laplop, the provider simply blocks calls and SMS on a data only SIM, so yes, it'll definitely work.

    This now is better than the boost …correct me if I am wrong.

    Except the international calls.
    I assume both wolllies and boost only gets 3g and 4g network

    • singlemalt72 on 21/02/2022 - 15:15

      Correct
      Woolworths Mobile uses parts of Telstra’s 3G and 4G network that covers 98.8% of the Australian population.

    • 4foxache on 21/02/2022 - 15:18

      Boost is the only provider on Telstra's retail network not wholesale so its still the better option as far as I'm aware.

      • freefall101 on 21/02/2022 - 16:17

        I’ve used both, previously Boost, now Woolworths. Definitely notice the difference around Melbourne in terms of signal quality, but cost-wise I’m staying with Woolworths. Still far better than Optus.

    • LSGH on 21/02/2022 - 16:53

      as we regularly shop in woolies, I will be able to recover the $150 cost, also never used the international calling for the 2 years I was with boost..coverage is good in Brissy

    • askvictor on 21/02/2022 - 19:02

      Having been using this for a few months, I've noticed that coverage is fine, but sometimes it struggles when in trying a zoom call. I was hoping it would be better since it's on Telstra, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

    • bobz79 on 16/03/2022 - 12:41

      Network coverage - less than Boost - not full Telstra, wholesale network (eg: similar to ALDI Mobile)

      Rest all yes
      - eSIM
      - International Roaming

      For Unlimited International Calls use $5 addon, can easily recover this with 10% monthly shopping credit!

      I moved out of Boost just because of no eSIM and no International Roaming (can't even receive SMS)!

  • singlemalt72 on 21/02/2022 - 15:14

    $20 off on the $200 145GB deal at the moment too.

  • MadMaxBargainRoad on 21/02/2022 - 15:21

    Hi danm02, my existing 365 day plan is expiring end of the month. Do you know if I can recharge now and extend it for another year without losing a few weeks? Or do I have to do it on the expiry date? Thanks.

    • Associateddm02 @ Everyday Mobile from Woolworths on 21/02/2022 - 15:34

      Hi! Unfortunately you cannot extend your service by recharging in advance (if you recharge, it will just replace/override the existing recharge applied).

      You would need to either recharge on the expiry date or enable auto-recharge and it'll do it automatically

      • MadMaxBargainRoad on 21/02/2022 - 15:38

        Right, that's what I suspected. Thanks for confirming nonetheless.

    Only let down is no VoLTE and WiFi calling for me

    • whey4000 on 21/02/2022 - 15:23

      What is VoLTE used for?

      • zelliot on 21/02/2022 - 15:39

        Calls go over 4G i.e. you can use 4G data while on a call. If there is no volte then it drops back to 3G.

        • whey4000 on 21/02/2022 - 20:42

          So basically no surfing the internet while on a call? Not a deal breaker for me.

          • Warehouse on 23/02/2022 - 12:03

            @whey4000: Not necessarily surfing. Could be trying to access something that uses an online server. E.g. as you're on call someone sends you something on whatsapp or whatever social.. or you want to quickly check an invoice in your email etc etc. You'll have to hang up or be on wifi to do that. Would be a deal breaker for me personally.

      • wfdTamar on 04/10/2022 - 14:22

        From their FAQ:
        'Do you support VoLTE?
        VoLTE will be rolling out to Woolworths Mobile customers starting from late October 2022 and expected to be completed in late December 2022.'

        'Do you support WiFi Calling?
        Wi-Fi Calling will be rolling out to Woolworths Mobile customers starting from late October 2022 and expected to be completed in late December 2022.'

    • JungliChilli on 21/02/2022 - 16:14

      Yeah that's a huge deal breaker for me. Wifi calling is a must at my place, have poor indoor coverage

    can you use the sim card on the phone and esim on watch simultaneously on the same number?

  • stralya on 21/02/2022 - 16:02

    Might be a stupid question - What is the advantage of an eSim, if you have to activate it using a physical sim anyway? I can see some advantages for people who use dual sims, but are there any other plus points if you are a single sim user?

    • bobz79 on 16/03/2022 - 12:48

      eSim
      - phone
      ** free up your SIM slot for another local SIM when international roaming or cheaper data plan etc
      ** some providers allow instant activation via app, eg: Optus, no need to bother buying SIM
      - smartwatches - no SIM slot, comes with eSIM

      • bargaino on 18/05/2022 - 23:19

        You cannot use this for watches.

        • bobz79 on 20/05/2022 - 00:02

          Yes, because they still need a physical SIM to activate the service! I wonder perhaps you can activate service via SIM on a phone and then move to eSIM on watch?

  • Frozensage on 21/02/2022 - 16:08

    Just note, woolies doesn’t issue you a tax invoice for recharging via the app or online. Incase you claiming this on business or work expense you better do it in store of able.

    • Associateddm02 @ Everyday Mobile from Woolworths on 21/02/2022 - 16:23

      This is correct, if you need a receipt/invoice for claiming with the ATO, I recommend purchasing recharge vouchers in-store at the front service desk.

      Alternatively (not advice, speak to your accountant) you may be able to claim it using the transaction on your bank statement and the recharge confirmation email sent out

  • Chalce on 21/02/2022 - 16:19

    I don't know very well about esim. Can I use additional esim of woolworths even though I am using a vodafone physical sim? Otherwise , do I have to use same provider (woolworths mobile) to use dual sim (physical+esim)?

    • leetec on 21/02/2022 - 16:22
      +1

      It will work forthe phone like Samsung s21, doesn't need to be same provider.

    • Associateddm02 @ Everyday Mobile from Woolworths on 21/02/2022 - 16:22
      +1

      Depends on your device.

      If your handset supports dual-SIM with physical and eSIM, then as long as the handset isn't locked to any particular network it should work fine.

      For any specific questions or concerns relating to the handset, I recommend contacting the retailer or manufacturer.

  • yjun355 on 21/02/2022 - 16:19

    Just be careful with e-sim and see how easy it is to switch. Lots of scams going around especially with optus where hackers switch to e-sim.

  • leetec on 21/02/2022 - 16:20

    Some told me that Woolie mobile reception is obviously worst than Boost after the swap, what is your guys's experience? My Boost will expire soon.

    • Associateddm02 @ Everyday Mobile from Woolworths on 21/02/2022 - 16:21
      +2

      Boost uses Telstra Retail (full network) whereas Woolworths Mobile uses Telstra Wholesale. I encourage people to check and compare coverage before switching.

      Alternatively, you can activate a $20 prepaid SIM and try it out for a month - if you're happy then switch with your main service :)

  • pointnlarf on 21/02/2022 - 16:23

    normal price….. also compromised reception even in urban areas….. eg metropolitan Sunshine Coast

    • sngr on 21/02/2022 - 16:34

      What's this, telling us about your negative experience as a user of the service and voting negative. Do you think this is an acceptable use of a negative? O M G

      It must be your fault. You must live in a blackspot. You need to change your network. It never happened to me so it couldn't have happened to you. Why are you making it so personal to push the red button instead of the green. Why are you targeting the poster of this fantastic deal with your negatives. They deserve to have a great experience here on OzEchoChamber, uh sorry OzBargain.

        lol…yeah well … was with belong and it was fine in my location.. people should probably test in their area before they shell out for a full year. Even if they were with another telstra provider….. or just neg me and buy it anyway :)

      What he said above are the fact. Not sure why the neg. Normal price. I got it at $140. we used amyasim, boost, coles and wws. Amyasim and boost are excellent in our area even in the shopping center. Wws struggles in the shopping center. I'm working from home and don't go to the centre very often, plus the esim, I'm okay with wws until I return to the office.

  • cwongtech on 21/02/2022 - 16:32

    Can you verify if a Sim can really be activated within 180 days of purchase as per the below two posts by Rod S?

    FYI - If you're planning to sign-up/port-in multiple mobile-phone numbers, make sure they're each registered as individual accounts, failure to do so means that you can claim only one 10% off voucher per-month in total, and to fix this, you have to port away from W.W. Mobile and port-in again!

    Can we get sim from Woolworth then activate it?

      Yes, you can get a $2 (or any value Woolworths Mobile SIM) in-store and activate it via the website - during activation you can select the desired plan: https://mobile.woolworths.com.au/activate

      You can purchase a SIM via the website however delivery can take upwards of 10-15 business days (AusPost regular letter, no tracking).
      Personally I recommend just purchasing a $2.00 Woolworths Mobile SIM starter pack in-store and activating it on the desired plan via the website - https://mobile.woolworths.com.au/activate

      • Averell on 22/02/2022 - 00:32

          If you already have an active Woolworths Mobile service, you can just update the auto-recharge via the app or website to the $150 plan, then when your current $20 plan ends it'll auto-recharge and switch over
