      Affected transactions have been reverted to pending by our support team and we’ll know more next week from Boost. Please don’t worry. Have a great weekend :)

  • I notice on the confirmation email it says

    “For security reasons, if you've purchased a 12 month expiry SIM, you'll need to show the same ID you used to order online, when accepting your delivery from the courier.”

    Is this been the case for those of you who have received?

    I ordered 1st Jan and haven’t got a dispatch email yet. But assume it will happen this week.

      Auspost haven't been asking for signatures for a while now. Received my SIM pack via registered post in the letter box.

      I had the same issue and went on chat this afternoon. I was told it has been delivered yesterday. In a panic I checked my mailbox and it was indeed sitting there. I should have checked my mailbox before I went on chat, alghough I didn't get a dispatch email. So check your mailbox if you haven't received it yet.

    • Hi there, Sorry to hear that you haven't received your order yet. Can you please email us at [email protected] with your order number so we can track the package for you? Hope to hear back!

  • I tried activated via website and porting from Telstra to Boost but the stuck on sms verification page so I contacted support.

    They processed the whole activation and confirming what my Telstra account and what my number is, but just now I got an email saying that my activation is completed but with a new number.

    Have ported numbers so many times but this is the first time it's an issue. Anyone else had this problem and how to get this sorted?

    • I think that is pretty normal. You should end up keeping your same number and ignore that email.

      Unless of course your number stops working or you are having any other issues, then I would start to worry?

      • Ah yeah contacted support and it's just a temp number.

        • Thanks for contacting our support team. Please let us know if the activation has been processed or not so we can send it to [email protected] so we can better help you track your package. Appreciate your patience and understanding.

  • Ordered on 1st Jan, (Melbourne Metro), still waiting for delivery, no email with tracking details, just contacted live chat, got a tracking number now, it says:
    Most recent update: Item processed at facility, STRATHFIELD NSW - Date & time Thu 5 Jan, 12.08am, it doesn't show expected delivery date.
    Hopefully I will received it sometime this week!

    • Ordered 2nd Jan, (Sydney Metro) similar status "Item processed at facility, STRATHFIELD NSW - 4 Jan". Contacted Aus Post- no help. Raised a request with Aus Post- got reply " if you don't receive it before 31st Jan, please contact us".

      Contacted Boost' and asked what is going to happen if I don't receive it in 30 days from ordering- Got repeatedly told that we have dispatched it, to contact Aus Post quoting " we are not the couriers".

      • Hi there, Please send us your order details to [email protected] so we can better help you track your package. Appreciate your patience and understanding.

        • Hi Team Boost,

          As suggested by you, an email sent to [email protected].

        • Matter resolved. $2 sim bought. The BOOST customer support person topped it up with $200 recharge. Sim Swap done. $40 Cashback processed manually. Very helpful support person.

    • I ordered 30 Dec, and I never got a tracking number. I just contacted boost chat to see what had happened. They sent me a tracking link which showed a packaged as being dispatched on 5 Jan, and then marked as incorrect address on 6 Jan at Strathfield, and being returned to sender (still). I live in Sydney, but not anywhere near Strathfield and my address was entered correctly on the order confirmation.

      At first they offered to just refund me, but eventually the best that the dude on the chat could do was ask me to get a $2 sim and they would put the $200 credit on for me manually plus 5gb for the inconvenience. I raised the cashrewards issue, but he told me that was a third party offer I'd need to raise with the third party…..

      • Looks like, at least the Boost agent you chatted to was trying to help. The one I chatted to was of no help infact was rude.

        • It took me almost 45 minutes of being very very firm with the agent. Polite, but very firm.

    • contacted AusPost with tracking number, no luck, the reply was "the service that was used by the sender was actually Registered Post, which is not next day delivery. The estimated date of delivery for this one was the 12/1. Our delivery timeframes are based on averages, so it's not an exact science. Most items, if they don't arrive by the estimated date, they arrive within 5-10 business days of it. So keep an eye on the tracking, and if it doesn’t arrive by 26/1 (18 business days) I recommend reaching out to your sender and asking them to lodge an investigation with us."
      Time to contact Boost again!

      • Hi there, Please send us your order details to [email protected] so we can better help you gget your order. Appreciate your patience and understanding.

        • @boostmobileau - Email sent yesterday, please help. thank you!

          • @jhalajd: Thanks @boostmobileau. Case officer assigned, issue resolved by switching using a new $2 sim as my amaysim prepaid was expired, $200 recharge is active on new SIM now, I have been advised $40 cashback will be honored.

            • @jhalajd: Amazing! Feel free to reach us again if you need anything else. Have a good one!

      • Wow, I thought it was just me, but I am in the exact same situation as you (no tracking email, contacted support for tracking number, only a single tracking update of item processed at Strathfield NSW), and got the exact same estimate/reply from AusPost as you. I thought AusPost lost my letter or something, but it seems like something else has happened to all these Boost SIMs :(

    • Same here. Ordered 1 Jan for delivery to Perth. Did not receive a tracking number from Boost. Contacted live chat last week and was provided a registered post tracking number (despite Boost's web site saying they would use StarTrack).

      The last update I have is 'Item processed at facility' at Strathfield in NSW on 5 January. Contacted live chat again today and they suggested getting a $2 SIM and transfering the voucher on to that.

    • Hi there, Thanks for letting us know about this. Since your package has been passed on to the courier, we can only refer to their tracking updates for any status. If your order is already outside of our standard shipping timeframe here: https://boost.com.au/pages/shipping-and-delivery, please get back to us via [email protected] so we can further help you. Thanks!

      • @boostmobileau

        Same issue here, have sent an email to [email protected] just a min ago

        • Thanks, please wait for our team to follow-up with you!

      • Hi there, I have emailed [email protected] as suggested.

  • Same here, Boost Live chat is suggesting getting a $2 sim and transferring the voucher over, does that still remain valid for the cash back with CashRewards @tightarse ?

    • Would also like to know this, going overseas soon and would suck to miss out on the deal because of some shipping kerfuffle.

      I'm not expecting it to work though unless they are nice enough to manually approve the cashback (pretty please?), since the original SIM we ordered isn't technically activated if Boost support manually applies a voucher to a separate SIM that we purchase.

      • Interested to find out too. I have given in and switched over using the $2 Sim as suggested by Boost and everything is now up and running correctly.

        @tigharse are you able to confirm? Thanks.

        • +1

          I messaged tightarse who told me to reach out via [email protected] first, so I'm currently in touch with someone at Boost. If more people contact them they will hopefully realise the issue is quite widespread and work with Cashrewards to not invalidate our cashbacks.

          I've also switched over using a $2 SIM since my previous plan was about to expire.

        • +3

          Update: Boost said they've escalated my issue and promised the cashback will be honoured.

          • @konakona: Thanks for posting this or I might not have asked! I did my sim swap this morning and when I asked the agent about cashrewards she said "Thanks for the details, I will submit a request for your $40 cashback and you will receive an update from us via email."

            Fingers crossed!

  • @boostmobileau

    Same issue here, have sent an email to [email protected] just a min ago

  • Has anyone had success finding their missing starter pack at Australia Post Strathfield? I've just submitted a missing item enquiry here: https://auspost.com.au/receiving/delayed-lost-or-damaged-ite…

    I activated my $200 sim today, despite already being a boost customer. It took 20 minutes with the customer service person on the help chat.

    I asked for help activating, they asked if I wanted a new number or transfer from another provider. I said I was already with boost and they said it’s a ‘sim swap’, and no issues doing that with a $200 sim recharge sim.

    I was unsure if it would work despite multiple in this thread saying it would work. I’d do it again. Much easier than porting somewhere else like I have in the past.
    12 months ago I ported to Optus prepaid, and had to replace my state drivers license number!

    I provided my name, date of birth, phone number, SIM card serial number and a confirmation code from my email.

    Next time I’ll listen to the rep and not insert my sim until they suggested. As it activated a new number first before transferring my old number. Being an iPhone customer, it then makes some extra steps for iMessage registration. I did receive a email confirmation for activation and phone number swap.

    The $40 is showing on my cashback account, being a sim swap hopefully no issues with Cashback going through.

    • I activated mine and my wifes yesterday. Mine was completed in no less than 10 minutes, but I had to wait until my wife came home from work to do hers. We had a different operator and after around 20 minutes the chat connection dropped just as we were in the completing stages. I got on to chat again with a different person and while we were discussing the process, a friend called my wife and it appeared that all was good. Something weird is happening now though. If she rings me, it shows as coming from her number, but if she texts me, it comes from a different number.

      • Hi there, This is an odd one! Would you mind emailing us at [email protected] so we can further investigate what is happening? I hope to hear back. Thank you!

        • I originally started an online chat with Boost, but they were unable to give me an immediate solution and said they would get back to me. In the mean time, I got onto Whirlpool and some of the smart people there suggested to go to settings in Messages and turn 'chat features' off and on again. That fixed it for me, so I opened a new chat with Boost and asked them to close my support ticket.

          • @wombat1955: Hi there,

            Thanks for letting us know! Glad that you got a quick fix. We'll definitely raise this with our team if the issue continues with other users. Appreciate your patience and resourceful and getting this resolved for you. Please don't hesitate to reach us in the email above if you need anything else. Thank you!
