FAQ thanks to BG

Question Answer
1. Is Boost operated by Telstra network? Yes, on the full Telstra network
2. Does Boost support 5G? From 4 April 2023, 5G network access will be included as standard on your service and we’ll be introducing capped download speed caps on our 4G and 5G networks
3. Does Boost support e-SIM? Sadly not at this stage. However there are plans to do so
4. Do you have to activate the SIM within 30 days? Every Cashrewards Boost cashback up to and including June 30 has been approved (confirmed by TA) - provided you activated within 30 days of order
5. How long is the SIM expiry? Usually 1 year, but to qualify for cashback the SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering
6. It is showing “new customer” on Boost website. What does this mean? New customer term is only for the additional Boost data, and nothing to do with the cashback offer
7. Can I receive international text message (aka int. roaming) with this SIM by default? Yes, you can receive SMS while overseas, but can’t send outgoing to Australia
8. How long does it take to receive the SIM? According to the Boost Rep: Once dispatched, you should receive your order within the following business days: Metro Areas – 2-5 business days for capital cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart & Brisbane (order before 4pm). Non Metro or Regional / remote areas – 3-7 business days
9. Is porting in a Telstra number to Boost considered a "new customer"? From Boost Mobile rep via dm: Porting a number from Telstra to Boost is definitely considered a new customer
10. Are you able to purchase multiple plans using different names / ID (or can I purchase 4 x plans for the family using my own details)? From Boost Mobile rep via dm: Received clarification from the team and this is a tricky one since for compliance the terms is showing the customer is only allowed 1 sim per transaction but he can buy multiple SIMs and then activate them all under his name and he will then be able to manage all the numbers when he logs into the App with his Boost ID.
11. Information on what to do when the "please try again later" " or "SORRY, SOMETHING WENT WRONG" message comes up List of indicators that can affect how your order is flagged in different financial systems, which can hopefully help you understand what is going wrong. Possible fraud scenario: API returns during purchase - credit to @himalpatel. Live chat advised that if you faced the above fraud scenario message, you need to use your friends details (aka a completely different details) to order
12. Can this be used to recharge? No, this is a starter pack. Using as a "recharge" is being dis-allowed and activating first and moving the number may be allowed but is frowned upon and may not be allowed in future depending on how you ask for it.

Enjoy!

    Are they trolling me? I just bought the $2.20 one
    Time to double down

  • +5

    Nice, i knew it

    • +1

      Tomorrow $35 SP will be on sale.

  • How long does it take for the cashback to confirm? Is it still the standard 100 days?

    • -1

      Read the FAQ.

      • Doesn't say

        • +1

          Yes it does. Dot Point 4. Everything up to June 30 has been approved, which was 81 days ago.

  • When I have bought 3 earlier today…

    • +6

      Username doesn't check out.

      • I’m not so sure — it’s not BargainsStalker or BargainsMaximiser…

      • +3

        That’s alright, I’ve bought more to average it up :)

        • great to hear :D

    • Did you try this

      • +2

        Shoot, thanks for the reminder. Gonna try my luck and will report back

        Edit: I was successful again but idk how many more one time courtesy I’m gonna get :((. They have already put a note against my account too

        Of course , I am not saying that it is you BG , We are speaking in General. All right here is what I can do for you. I can activate that new sim and have it deactivated afterwards so I can transfer the $ 30 credit on your number . This will be the a one time courtesy that we can do for you . I hope you will be aware on the process of the recharge . Thanks

        • You are too good in convincing!

  • +2

    What are people jumping to after this? My Boost main is running out end of month

    • +1

      Following comment as I'd like to know as well. Worst case I'll have to hope for an upsized cashback every month!

      • I've got heaps of kogan sims but they stopped doing their 1st month free lol. Wonder if I can port on a 0 sum but probably not haha

    • +1

      More Telecom for free for up to 3 months

      • CBA cardholders only.

      • Cba refuses to let me submit the application online without calling 😂

        Also if More is postpaid, I've learnt my lesson to steer clear after Boost effed up my port and I was active on both sims, same number for a week and got charged by ABB for the duration :(

    • Aldi payg for $5, burn through it. Lebara goes on sale at $6 for 30 days if you don’t want to port back too soon. Someone mentioned $4 for 7 days Vodafone (when on sale) packs too, if you don’t want to spend too much. You have pretty much a month to monitor the supermarket sales to decide.

  • Holy fuzzballs! My credentials worked again

  • +2

    The question is, when will boost go bust!?

    • +1

      Telstra has the "Power of the Government" lol, half joking only.

  • +3

    $3 profit on $20 spend = 15% which is almost half the previous (margin)

    Used to be $10 spend per sim a few months back. Well I Still buying anyway to maintain my portable internet.

    • +2

      Calculation is a bit off…
      It’s $3 profit on $17 spend, so 17.6% profit

      • Correct!

  • +3

    how many numbers can you active under ur name? i think i have ~ 30 SIMs already

    • "Apperantly" when you call up to cancel multipple expirted/unused old numbers they "amusingly oblidge"? YMMV?

      • +3

        Your post gave me cancer

        • +1

          Then you need buy more of this, so you can afford the cancer treatment. Good luck :)

  • Does the 30 day activation requirement start when you place the order, or when you receive the actual SIM?

  • Does one have to stay out of Boost for 30 days to qualify as new customer ?

    • +2

      Nup, a day is ok last time I asked unlike Kogan and perhaps others.

  • +1

    Just bought one and tracked instantly ✌🏼

    • +1

      Buy another!

  • I hope Boost has plenty of cash. I just bought a 12 month SIM

    • +2

      Ummm, that isn't where the profit is?

      • +2

        No, but it is where the profit comes from

  • Didn't track instantly for me. Will update when tracked Edit - Tracked 2 mins after purchase

    • +2

      So pretty much instantly.

  • Tracked quickly - very happy. Thank you!

  • If I buy the sim and gift it to someone who activates it under their name, will I get the cashback?

    • Yes. You will get the cashback assuming they activate it for a new number within 28 days of purchase.

  • My Cashback tracked but just realized it says only for new customers; ive already bought a few sims from Boost previously.

    What does that mean? Will i not get the Cashback?

    Also says activate by 25th September, I'm soo lost!

    • +1

      You will get the cashback - I can confirm this. When it means "New Customers", it means, you are activating the SIM card as a "new number" and not recharging an existing service.

    • Read the FAQ.

  • +3

    Thanks OP, just bought 50 sim cards. Could only do 5 purchases per debit card per day/2 days- every 6th purchase i try, my order gets rejected with error: "Something went wrong"

    • +1

      There are easier ways to make $150, but none as satisfying

  • My 7th order, something went wrong but i got charged $17 still (on pending) , should i be worried? I used zip-pay single use card.

    • +1

      You still made a tidy profit! 6 x $3 - $17 = $1, to be exact

  • @tightarse - do you reckon there will be deals coming up on recharges?

    • +1

      Not likely. There is never any deal on recharges other than the standard boosted data for the first 3.

      Really good deals are only on new activations/customers. Just rotate between carriers or keep activating new sims if you are just after data.

  • +2

    Bought 25 😂

    • Do you need a different address for each one?

      Something must need to be unique - name/ email/ phone number/ credit card / delivery address?

      • Just different card I reckon. I used 5 different visa gift card from coles.

        • Weird…couldn't get one.

          Must be flagged as I'm a legit customer, not a sim hoarder profiteering!

          • @tunzafun001: I think Boost may assess the distance between your IP address and delivery address.

            For example, if it is NSW and VIC, it will be definitely declined.

  • +1

    Can't seem to shake the "SORRY SOMETHING WENT WRONG" message :(

    • +2

      At least they’re polite about it

      • +1

        True

      • +2

        Emailed them since I'm losing profit due to this, hopefully they can green flag me

        • +1

          Same here. Let me know how you go about it.

  • Anyone doing sim hopping on main number? Or better not? But i only have and need 1 number…

  • +1

    I do it on my main number… never had any porting issues

  • +1

    Spend amount : cashback ratio is increasing!!

    BUT can't buy one

    "Something Went wrong…blah ..blah"

  • +1

    Just purchased before midnight. As usual, no problems at all. I buy these all the time (at least one per month) and have never had an issue, Strange that some people have and others not. Thanks Op.

    • Do you use the same details every time?

      Use the same email as your boost account?

      I think it has something to do with people who have been with Telstra and Boost. Have you been a Telstra customer before?

      • One can buy using any email address, doesn’t matter and has no bearing on the email address used when activating the SIM. I use a variety but often the same and never matters. Yes I do have a Telstra & Boost accounts but again makes no difference when purchasing (for me at least)

        • Strange.. I went all in with misspelling my name, alias email and different card for payment. It worked. Just wanted one for next month.

  • +2

    $5 profit now on ShopBack 😂

    • Turned out to be $45 for $17 when purchase from Boost, so $1 profit really

      • The things we do for a buck… :P

    • -1

      Typo. It says $45 SP for $13, not true.

  • I bought 1 but got charge 2 times. First time I have this problem with Boost.

    Anybody got the same probs?

  • Mine didn't track. It's in my click history, but no tracking email. Sigh. Here we go. Suddenly the $3 profit seems like a lot of work. 😔

  • Ordered on 19th but still haven't received any notification about shipping yet.

    Is it normal?

    • Normal for me but others have mentioned they received shipping notifications

      • ah.. will wait then… Thanks mate
