Belong $80 SIM Starter Pack - 2,000 Telstra Plus Points Delivered @ Telstra Plus

2120

Was checking out rewards for doweyy's 10,000 point deal and noticed that the Belong $80 Starter Packs were down from 10,000 points to 2,000 points again. Same as previous deal. Thanks to bozbargain:

$100 is enough for either 4 monthly cycles of the $25 plan (20GB/month) or a mix of eg 1 month at $25 (20GB) and then 5 months of $15 (3GB/month). Data rolls over so you can start on a $25 plan, downgrade to $15 and still keep the left over data for subsequent months. You have to activate on the $25 plan (as a minimum) to start off with, then you can move down to $15 (the $15 one isn't available for your first month).

Ends 6 Jun or when sold out.

    damn still have 2 packs from last deal.
    and now rumour that belong is moving everyone up from $10 to $15 a month plan…

    • +2

      Not a rumour, they were gonna change mine at end of April so I sold off all my data balance and moved to catch. You might as well activate and sell the data after two months, prob like $50 worth

      • +1

        Sell the data?

        • +2

          You can, I gave my data to a relative, still works out good for them at $15 rolling over anyway

        • +3

          Yup, you can sell your unused data if you’re a Belong user. See classifieds and you can see a lot of ppl selling their data through data transferring

        • +4

          Yeah sell on Ozb classified. Used to be 45/50c per gb but after the forced plan upgrade its like 22c I think

          • @MeesusEff: Wow thanks, I have a stack of belong data and will be churning next month. Figured it would go to waste.

          • +1

            @MeesusEff: I didn't know this and let all unused data expired:(

    • Same got 1 from last deal thinking I would do a 5000IQ Play to churn out from jb $59 $500 gc deal and churn back after … only to find out it wouldn’t count ahhhh

    • Just got moved from $10 to $15 a month ago, so frustrating!! It's been the best plan ever (referral credits for 1 year, roll-over, buy able data, amazing data speed 😭), now up by 50%, pretty ridiculous.

      • Ive got so much free referrals from belong I'm fine for now

    • Strange one of my Belong plans hasn't moved to $15 yet also the same with my cousins Belong plan yet my mums has

  • Are there a "activate by" date on these things?

    • +1

      On the standard starter packs you have 1 year from the purchase date. I'm guessing these are the same.

      • +1

        Any experience whether that is enforced? I wondered if they actually set expiry dates on sims as they are purchased, and without actually writing the specific expiry date anywhere.

        • +1

          When you go through the checkout at Coles for example, the operator scans something on the pack which must register it with Belong that it's been purchased.

          Not sure if it's enforced.

        • +1

          It is enforced as I recently tossed a few Telstra $2 SIMs and a few Boost $2 SIMs away (expired). I don't have the guts to try Belong ones yet (i.e. let them expire) as those are not $2 ones.

        • +1

          If I don’t use the $80 SIM card will it expire?
          The credit will expire if the SIM hasn’t been activated within a 12 month period of receiving the $80 free SIM card.

          Source

          • @Pricebeat: 12 months?
            I signed up nbn back in November and didn't activate the sim. Last month I checked the sim package and it said expiry 31/12/2021 so I threw it in the bin :(

            • @RTY: It will expire as per the date mentioned on SIM. However, you need to contact Belong support & submit the proof of purchase (in your case, November) & they will reactivate it again for you to use.

              • @mountains: I already threw it in the bin so I dont bother now

  • Was also just looking through their rewards and noticed they still have iPhone XS Max 64GB for 521,000 points! Don’t know who Telstra expects to pay roughly $1450 for an almost 4 year old iPhone with only 64GB storage??

    • +5

      thats our telstra, if you havent notice. high cost, high salaries, low service quality

    • You don't redeem for phones (unless there is some crazy special). There was a deal where you basically need to setup direct debit and you get enough points to exchange for a pair of Galaxy Buds.

      Tel$tra's most recent $699 for iPhone 11 deal was okay (can use it to price match at OfficeWorks).

  • Thanks OP, got one

  • I got this starter kit from the previous deal and ported my number to Belong, do I need to port out and port in again if I get this pack again?

    • +1

      This is a starter pack, it's not a recharge voucher. You could port out to Kogan 60GB 90 days if you don't mind the Voda network.

      You'll need to use a different email when porting back to Belong if you want the $20 referral credit.

    • Yeah you need to port out for a month, then you can port back to Belong.

      Something like a Kogan Mobile $1 / $2.90 for a 1 month plan, then port back in to Belong after a month with your next starter kit.

      • No, you can port back anytime, I ported back a few times less than a week.

  • I have 1500 points. How to get 500 free points?

  • I have 23,000 points from Telstra, can I get 11pcs and get 33months free?

    • +1

      Packs need to be activated within 1yr of purchase! Already have 1 unused.

      Received 100k pts for 5 X 1n bookings (5n in Noosa Heads YHA @$35/n), so looking for some good Telstra Plus Deals.

      • Did you stay the hotel?

        • +3

          YHA ($35/n Backpackers) just off Hastings St, 5min walk to beach @Noosa Heads. Listed 100 year old wooden guest house in some forest.

          Enjoyed it & made an effective profit on week stay in Noosa Heads! And travelled almost free.
          That's how I like to travel 🌎

          • @INFIDEL: Heard some horrors from that YHA, might of been cleaned up recently though..

            • @nrodg11: The Nomads Noosa Youth Resort is the one with the bad reputation.

              Up the hill at Noosa Junction.
              They are cramming in a lot of long termers working in local tourist industry. So many there! Its a real mess in rooms. As shown on TV reports!
              People escaped there to relax on the huge wooden verandahs of the YHA!

              YHA doesn't take long term stays (usually 14d max). Its for genuine travellers. So few there. Set in a listed historic building, it's not a party place. Not even a bar now. And much closer to beach.
              Suited me - as an experienced traveller.
              Found it great. Clean, great staff.

  • Anyone know if these can be e-sims?

  • Is $15 plan an option? From the product description the smallest plan is $25

    • +4

      Not initially. Start on the $25 then move down to $15 for subsequent months.

      You have to activate on the $25 plan (as a minimum) to start off with, then you can move down to $15 (the $15 one isn't available for your first month).

  • looks like on my app they have changed the price back to 10,000 points

    • +1

      Mine is showing 2000

  • I can't join telstra plus because I don't have a Telstra service, is this targeted?

    • +4

      You’ve answered your own question :)

    • Firstly to join Telstra plus you need a telstra service, I'm not sure if one needs a Telstra service to keep Telstra plus active/alive as I've always had some sort of Telstra service and they have been Telstra prepaid services,

      Maybe you could buy a Telstra $2 starter prepaid pack to start of Telstra plus but you'll be starting from zero points, but they gave me 10,000 points last month supposedly for a bad service of some sort

      It's not targeted, but you need Telstra plus with at least 2,000 points to buy this 2,000 points offer Belong $80 starter pack

      Plenty on eBay usually discounted fairly

      Here you go Telstra offering free 10,000 points when you signup to Telstra Plus Market,.. of course you'll need a Telstra service of some sort prepaid or postpaid mobile plan,…
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/699323

      Edit: Actually it's 20,000 total bonus points, as a bonus 10,000 points if one makes an eligible purchase

      • +1

        currently I dont have a telstra service, but they keeped my telstra plus.

        • +1

          Same

        • You have 2,000 points in your Telstra plus account?, try signing up to join Telstra Plus Market as its a new Telstra service, you could grab 10,000 or 20,000 Telstra points

    • Joined when I had a Telstra service. Haven't had our in many years, but still get get the benefits

  • +1

    When I try to order, after checkout it says "Based on our assessment, you're ineligible to redeem this item."

    Any idea what this is about?

    • Worked when I ordered through the app instead.

  • +1

    3 months plan credit when you activate on Belong $25/mth 20GB mobile plan.

    So essentially you get 3 months on a single $25 recharge?

    • +1

      Not for a current subscriber with a recharge, this is for a new subscriber.

    • +1

      Plus $5 left over for your 4 month if my maths is right lolz,.. yes new subscribers only as ballistykx stated above,.. this ain't $80 credit for existing Belong customers 🤪

      Edit: anyone know if this is a one off purchase or example I have over 10,000 points can I buy 5x of these?

      • +2

        You can purchase multiple but you will just need to do multiple orders.

        • Thanks for that, got actually just over 11,000 points and should get another 10,000 points for signing up with Telstra Plus Market so I wonder if there's anything worth buying through Telstra store with 21,000 Telstra points I'll have to do a search, problem with these Belong $80 starter packs they expire in 12 months

          So wondering also what are these $80 Belong starter packs worth selling outright, people selling them on Ozbargain somewhere? Or I guess eBay fb marketplace or Gumtree?

  • how long do you have to activate?

  • -1

    Nice. Got 2.5k free from the vaccination cert

    • -3

      Took you that long to get your first vaccination lolz?

      • Did you get rona?

        I didn't claim the 2.5k i mean I had it in my account doing nothing.

        So this is perfect.

  • Thanks grabbed 2 with my big 4K balance

  • +4

    FWIW, these can be activated as a Data Plan. See my comments in https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/693980 about a month ago.

    • +3

      Great idea. Bought another $80 pack based on that.

      As you suggest: 500GB for $70/mth (+ next 2 months at 20GB for $15/mth if activating with Referral). And gift data to Belong phone SIM set up for 6mth with Referral. Hope that works.
      https://www.belong.com.au/go/data-plans

      • As long as you keep renewing the data doesn't expire? I'm on Telstra $55 month. Tempted to switch over gift myself 2TB and stick with belong. That 2 TB wont expire?

        • Rolls over & can be gifted to another Belong SIM.

          • @INFIDEL: Wowwww ok just ordered. How many times can you gift yourself… Is 2TB maximum? I'm jumping ship then. Only downside is belong doesn't have 5G?

            • @R3XNebular: Don't know. 2T was just suggestion of how to use up surplus Telstra Plus points - in Forum post.

      • Can you gift data from a Data Plan to a Mobile Plan though? The data in a Data Plan does not roll over, I'd honestly be surprised if you can do so.

        • Best to check - took the advice of Colin2905. Wondered myself. As i commented - Hope that works.

          • +1

            @INFIDEL: It seems like you can, that's epic lol. The page you linked above says that "All our data plans include Data gifting

            Share your data with anyone else on a Belong mobile or data plan: family, friends, frenemies, your call"

      • Looks like not able to use referral code when activating data plan?

        • +2

          I'd yet to activate a data plan, so I just went through the motions to see what I'd get. Sure enough, no option to enter a referral code. I then went rummaging through the Belong web site, but it was only when logged in that I found this….

          Limits on introductions
          You can’t invite friends on a Belong data plan
          It’s only for customers on a standard Belong mobile or internet service.

    • In your post in that other thread you said:

      "That way, if there's at least one pack left as the six month mark approaches, it can activated as another voice service, the remaining data from the first voice service gifted to the second before cancelling it, then continue on with any other remaining packs."

      I don't understand what the 6 month mark part means. Why does this make it better than your first thoughts that you posted in that thread?

      • +1

        Unless you've picked up some more referrals along the way, after six months you'll have exhausted the credit and will need to stump up $15 per month if you want to keep using it.

  • +1

    OP, thanks for the great deal.
    why did you say “$100 is enough for…”? isn’t this starter pack only $80 value?

    • Sorry copied it from last deal, $100 is $80 from the starter pack and $20 from the referral randomiser.

  • I'm 28 points off, any smart ideas on how to get that?

    • +3

      Prepay your next bill with $3. Will take a day or two for the points to arrive though

  • +1

    Belong service seems pretty bad, dare i say worse than Kogan which is based on Voda

    • I guess it depends on your location.

      • +1

        Melbourne CBD and it says H+/3G out on the street, Kogan was much snappier

  • Anyone mind telling me the equivalent of 2k points in dollar value?

    • +1

      10k points is a $30 prepaid recharge, so using that you could say 2k is $6 in value.

  • -7

    A rip-off from a rip-off company

    • George Sorros?

  • 500 Internal Server Error
    An internal server error occurred.

  • I think Belong is now trying to stop data buying/selling. I sent some data to my son this morning and a message popped up that this transferred data will expire when the recipient's renewal date comes up.
    So if I was to buy 50GB from someone, any unused data from that 50GB will expire at my monthly plan renewal.
    Anyone else experienced that?

    • that doesn't make sense, if it's the recipient's renewal date, it should be his not yours, isn't it?

      • I pulled out the policy and looks like data deletion is applicable only in case of data plans, and not mobile plans.

        • +1

          Here is the policy,
          "Unlimited data banking comes with all of our mobile plans, but is not available for our data plans where data expires at the end of each billing period.
          For mobile plans, you can roll over and keep your unused data, including any bonus or gifted data in your data bank each month as long as you pay on time.
          Things you should know: You'll lose all your banked data when payment is more than 25 days overdue or if you cancel your Belong mobile service."

          • +1

            @Maq: So as long as your on a data plan and gift to a mobile plan you can retain the data. Just doesn't work when gifting data plan to data plan it just expires at end of month. That's my understanding. So the above method of gifting data plans and building up to 2tb of data should work

  • +1

    Can you buy 2 and get $160 credit on the one account?

    • No, but you can buy 2 and get all the data combined.

      • So I'd need to port once the first lot of credit is used and then port back?
