    Mr tightarse can you confirm if this can be used as simply a recharge for an existing boost customer?

    • robbyjones on 14/12/2022 - 16:03

      As a current Boost customer the answer is no. You will need to port out and then back in. You can either use an esim or purchase a $2 sim from the supermarket. You may also have issues if you are porting from another Telstra network so suggest maybe Vodafone.

    • cooni on 14/12/2022 - 17:45

      Not simply as a recharge, but effectively as one, yes. Need to get customer service to do it

    • Heybargain on 01/01/2023 - 12:22

      Not as a recharge
      Contact customer support and tell them that you “accidentally” bought this thinking it was a recharge. They’ll port your number to the new sim and you can continue from there.

  • alohame on 14/12/2022 - 14:01

    just in time, got pissed off by amaysim.
    amaysim make decision on behalf of its customer by assigning a new mobile number even though customer want to keep his number, plus they activated your service even before you have received your simcard. They don't offer resolution and even care to retain customer. terrible service.

    Why do boost mobile only except license or passport for identification?

    I'm unable to get a license because of my disability and I have a proof of age card issued by the Australian government that should be good enough and should be accepted

    • Sammy Boi on 14/12/2022 - 14:46

      After speaking to their support and explaining my situation I was basically told a dodgy work around using somebody else's ID…

      So boost mobile won't accept an Australian government issued ID but they will give dodgy advice on how to get past the order system….

          I know it's a government requirement so don't you think it's a little bit dodgy that they won't accept a government proof of age card?
          Primary identification for any disabled Australian without a drivers license is an Australian issued proof of age card.
          Most people in my situation also will not have an Australian passport. I was advised to just get a friend and to use their ID or a family member.

              "They may also verify by:

              using an existing post-paid or prepaid account
              a real-time or time-delayed financial transaction."

              Takes common sense and a little effort.

              • Sammy Boi on 21/12/2022 - 13:25

                @Igaf: To give some more context to my situation I ended up using a family member's ID to purchased a Sim card and it was sent to my address and I did not have to show any identification to receive the package even though on the boost website it said I would need to show that ID.
                Furthermore because I was Porting from post paid Telstra I needed to contact support to have that done so I got support to activate my Sim card and I didn't need to go through any ID process except proving the Telstra account belonged to me and that was just me giving correct information and an SMS security code.
                So yeah they definitely used my postpaid account to verify my identity.

      You are correct that it is Boost causing the problem, nothing to do with regulations. It's unintentional but IF what you say is correct, essentially the business is discriminating against people who don't have licences or passports for the sake of their convenience. This sort of "accidental" discrimination can be found in many places - commonly airports as the media likes to play up.

      Armed with the above information you should ask to speak with a senior customer manager with common sense at Boost, or send them an email so you have their response in writing. If that doesn't get a reasonable response I'd flick bill shorten an email and ask him if he can look into it. The NDIS has plenty of very highly paid executive officers he could put onto finding a solution. Yes, I'm serious about the Shorten email.

      • Sammy Boi on 21/12/2022 - 13:42

        Thank you I really appreciate you taking the time to find this information.

        There are only 2 ID options available to order Sim cards from the boost website and that is Australian drivers license and Australian passport so yes even if it's accidental I would say there is a level of discrimination. As soon as I noticed there was only those two options I actually contacted support and explained my situation and that I felt it was discrimination. I got a pretty generic response and then got upset and shut the chat. I knew I could get a drivers license to use but as someone with a disability I think about other people with disabilities and I'm positive a lot of people live by themselves with disabilities without passports and without access to somebody else's drivers license. I appreciate the advice and I would like to follow up on this matter at the start of next year.

        • Igaf on 21/12/2022 - 13:46

          Shorten has expressed an interest in fixing a lot of these impediments. This should be relatively easy so I hope you do follow up with him. I'm also sure the owner of Boost wouldn't want to turn away good customers, nor be accused of "accidental" discrimination. Vbol

      If an Optus MVNO is good enough (and you need the extra data), go with Circles. For me, every time there's congestion (bars of reception but data 'not working') while using an MVNO it reminds me of the true cost of being tight.

    • MikeHunt69 on 14/12/2022 - 23:28

      That question has so many variables between customers. e.g. the phone you have, any software or firmware issues, network bands supported, antenna strength and position, environment e.g. thick walls blocking signal. I don't think anyone can tell you how it performs across the entire Adelaide region and apply it to your situation. You can check general coverage here: https://boost.com.au/pages/coverage

      my dads plan ends next week too wondering about this same thing, also does the recharge apply from the date you recharge?

      i.e. he has 70gb left but expiry is 24/12, if we recharge say 17/12, does the 12m kick in from then, effectively losing a week?

        Did it couple of days ago via chat, no issues. They do say it is a one time gesture. in their copy and paste spiel.

        You will have to insert the new SIM card, then they will transfer the number across to the new SIM.

        I waited 2-3 days before expiry of the current plan before requesting on chat.

          People are saying they have not received sim yet? My recharge plan ends 22nd what if it my sim deal from here comes after then?
          They told me i could either keep my existing sim and they can transfer this over to it or use new sim transfer my number over to it.

          I’m reading and told from here best to use new sim deal and have my number transferred over, as it will not affect my cashback where as keeping my old sim and transferring this as a recharge I will lose my cashback.
          But what worries me is this supposed to be all done while my current plan is active?
          What if sim does not come before 22nd dec what happens then, I obviously don’t want to lose my number and want to use this plan as offer by cr.
          But I have no control when or how long it will take them to send it and it’s not exactly the fastest time of year to get mail.
          When they do send is it tracked are you notified of when your sim deal is on way.
