    How long do I have to activate it?

      NVM its optus. Practically unusable in Urban Sydney

      • wetwork on 16/01/2023 - 11:00

        Yeah - used to be good, but something happened a bt over a year ago around my way.
        Whilst getting credits upon complaint is nice, I also need coverage.
        It was bye bye Optus.

    • cannibal on 16/01/2023 - 07:15

      Must activate within 30 days of purchase.

      • Ryk on 16/01/2023 - 07:51

        they dont seem to enforce this, I have activated up to 90-100 days from purchase.

        • wavesgreen on 16/01/2023 - 07:57

          Don't know that I'd want to risk $80+ on it.

          You can activate later but you just forfeit any included inclusion bonus. For example you don't get extra bonus data if it's advertised to be.

          • freestyle18 on 19/01/2023 - 21:37

            @hollykryten: Anyone else confirm this? I'm keen to activate this just before my old plan expires

      • TheTaxMan on 16/01/2023 - 09:35
        +2

        On the product page, it says, "Activate within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised in the promotion, whichever is earlier, to get advertised inclusions." There is no other advertised inclusion (like bonus data), so you can probably activate after 30 days, although there should be an actual expiry date/duration.

        Debatable if the 5000 bonus points is considered the "advertised inclusion" as they only know if you have bought it or not.

        • tonsta on 30/01/2023 - 13:44

          I got the 5000 2 days after purchase, didn’t activate the card yet. Hope this helps others.

    • iperezgenius on 16/01/2023 - 11:31

      30 days

    • zt7891 on 28/01/2023 - 13:26

      I purchased the 365 day 60GB pack for my parents on 07/12/2022. They finally activated it today (and keeping their existing number). Everything worked well. Expiry peroid is a year from now (28/01/2024) with the full 60GB data.

      So while it does still work after 30 days, there is no guarantee it will continue to work in the future. So I wouldn't bet on it and still recommend people activate within 30 days after purchase.

  • bargaino on 16/01/2023 - 00:34

    Don't they normally offer 25% off for a recharge before expiry? Or has that changed?

    • wavesgreen on 16/01/2023 - 02:04
      -2

      Also I was pretty sure they used to offer a one-time 10% off your shop to all Coles Mobile customers. Now looking at their website it seems they do six 10% off your shops (one per month) but only for month-to-month customers now. Unless I'm reading wrong.

    • GEE-SHOCK on 16/01/2023 - 09:00

      I got 20% off last Nov since I hit my first year - as a reference

      • Jono05 on 17/01/2023 - 15:37

        Recharged July last year, no offers at all.

          Anecdote, to get a recharge special offer you need to have auto recharge turned off and have receive marketing turned on in your account settings.

          • Jono05 on 20/01/2023 - 00:37
            +1

            @jmc787: Auto recharge is never on. Just checked marketing preference and it was off. It’s on now. Let’s see if I get an offer, which I don’t need now due to getting the discounted recharge.

            • jmc787 on 20/01/2023 - 01:20
              +2

              @Jono05: Marketing on was a requirement to receive offers, good luck :)

              I'm out of the game for 2023 too with my discounted recharge voucher already purchased !

            @jmc787: Thanks jmc787, I was wondering why I never get the offer and finally got it once I turn it on a month before the recharge date.

  • T-man on 16/01/2023 - 00:42

    5000 points ~= $25 , so 60Gb sim card for $74 , better value than the 60Gb Amaysim card ($89) selling at Woolworths, but the Amaysim sim includes international calls to 28 countries instead of 15 and supports eSIM.

    • tharlow on 16/01/2023 - 00:52

      Cheaper, but not necessarily better value. Value is in the pocket of the beholder

      • WatchNerd on 16/01/2023 - 04:09
        +4

        Both use the Optus network so not sure what you mean?

        • linkii on 17/01/2023 - 12:51

          Exactly what he said.

          "But the Amaysim sim includes international calls to 28 countries instead of 15 and supports eSIM." Also some people may not want the points and prefer more instant savings."

    • sylvester328 on 17/01/2023 - 13:57

      But I believe amaysim offers international calls for the more expensive 180GB plan only, not the 60GB plan.

  • wavesgreen on 16/01/2023 - 01:27

    • mangobango on 16/01/2023 - 09:08

      I swapped from Boost to Optus last year.

      The only real time I noticed a difference was the underground parking at my old work. Telstra had perfect reception, nil for Optus.

      Other than that I haven't experienced any black spots or anything vs my wife's Boost reception but YMMV.

  • montorola on 16/01/2023 - 01:54

    Wow I see what's going on here…

    365 days
    365 = 3x6x5 = 90 (90 is a multiple of 3)

    60GB (60 is a multiple of 3)
    $99 (99 is a multiple of 3)

    $169
    169 = 1x6x9 = 54 (54 is a multiple of 3)

    Half Life 3 Confirmed.

  • Cynicaloflife on 16/01/2023 - 02:23

    Shane no international wifi calling like Telstra :/

    • nightelves on 16/01/2023 - 02:46

      Wifi calling is amazing! The ability to call back home whenever you need to is just so handy.

      • sh4hp on 16/01/2023 - 13:03

        So no need for a roaming service?

    • tharlow on 16/01/2023 - 06:18

      Don’t worry about Shane — they’re too busy travelling the world to worry about calling people to tell them about it

    • TheKykle on 16/01/2023 - 06:47

      I thought (hoped!) wifi calling worked from anywhere

      • hawkeye93 on 16/01/2023 - 09:02

        Looks like only Telstra and Boost wifi calling work overseas.

      • Gotch on 16/01/2023 - 09:02

        According to Telstra, Wi-Fi Calling allows you to make and receive calls to devices in Australia at no additional charge.  Calls to all other countries will need to be made over the mobile network, and standard charges will apply.

      • nightelves on 16/01/2023 - 12:40

        Yeah works anywhere where you can get a wifi signal. I've tested it on a plane as well. Being able to make local calls is amazing!

        • Cynicaloflife on 16/01/2023 - 20:59

          So you can do it from overseas? Like can I be in the UK and use wifi calling to call Australia?

          • jmc787 on 16/01/2023 - 21:05
            +1

            @Cynicaloflife: I've read here before that Optus/Coles geoblocks wifi calling from all IP addresses outside Australia so what you need to do is have device A make a VPN connection to Australia and also act as a wifi hotspot to device B which has a Coles SIM in it, then wifi calling should work overseas. I have not tested this.

            Alternative option is to pay for an International Roaming pass.

            • Cynicaloflife on 16/01/2023 - 21:07

              @jmc787: Exactly! Hence asking this question.

              I know with boost I can do wifi calling from overseas. However Coles is much much cheaper

              • jmc787 on 16/01/2023 - 21:07

                @Cynicaloflife: Telstra does not Geoblock wifi calling which is why it would work on Boost.

                • Elmer Fudd on 17/01/2023 - 06:19

                  @jmc787: Does anyone know if wifi calling works overseas on Woolworths Mobile who are a Telstra MVNO?

          • Gratt on 17/01/2023 - 11:04

            @Cynicaloflife: Don't know about UK. VOWIFI on Coles mobile worked perfectly for me in NZ with one exception. I have a dual Sim phone. If I put a NZ Sim in the second slot it didn't work. What worked was using a second phone with the NZ Sim in set up with a wifi hotspot.

          • nightelves on 17/01/2023 - 11:29

            @Cynicaloflife: I'm talking about Boost btw. No idea about Optus.

        • hiaaron on 31/01/2023 - 16:30

          I can vouch for this. I am on Boost prepaid so no roaming. I've been overseas and have been able to receive and call Oz local numbers. Basically, it connects you to a local port in Australia via Wifi, allowing you to use local calls as you were in Australia.

  • 1000060 on 16/01/2023 - 02:24

    I remember someone mentioned that unlike normal GCs, Coles SIM cards are qualified for the weekly spend x get x points offer. Is this still true?

    • wavesgreen on 16/01/2023 - 02:32

      Can't speak from personal experience but I believe that is correct. I also just read the T&C's of my current Spend X Get X Points flybuys offer and Coles Mobile products are not listed among the exclusions.

    So the 20% off recharge … this doesn't works with the $99 SIM right? It's only for an existing customer? … And you don't get the 5000 FlyBuys. Seems like a worse deal.

    • jmc787 on 16/01/2023 - 22:28

      The recharge voucher works out at $8/month, if thats too much for someone to pay for their mobile phone service not sure where you go from there.

      • fruitysalad on 16/01/2023 - 22:38

        Ah, didn't mean to say this is not a good deal overall. Just confirming that it would be better to port out and then in to get the 5000 Flybuys, instead of continuing as existing customer with the 20% off recharge.

        • jmc787 on 16/01/2023 - 23:31
          +1

          It's a better deal if you could be bothered with the hassle of doing it and also wear the risk of
          1. having one of the two ports that are completely outside your control stuff up leaving you cut off for x hours/days/weeks
          2. providing your personal information to yet another 3rd party who may lose it, expose it, have it stolen

          Thats a firm no from me.

      The advert (above link) reads that the purchase can only be in store and your FB card (physical and digital?) must be presented.

      You can purchase the plan on Coles Mobile's site online, but you'd risk not have the FB points attributed to your account.
