My plan expires in a month and I found this when googling.

60GB Data for $89 and 120GB Data for $109.

Used online chat to talk to a Catch agent, apparently, there is no Catch for the expiry.

As long as I activate within 24 months, I am good.

I am unable to post a link to Finder being an L plater.

    Nice find, thanks for sharing.

      The 60GB plan @ $89 is a regular (almost every month) promo with catch connect and probably the cheapest Optus MVNO deal around.
      Coles regularly (and currently) does $99 for 365 dyas/60GB plan and includes international calls and text to 15 countries and you get data rollover too.
      https://colesmobile.com.au/home/left-image/product/5
      NOTE: Amaysim no longer offers the cheapest 60GB plan

      SAYS Offer ends 14/11/2023, unless withdrawn earlier.
      Activate SIM within 30 days of purchase, or by the date advertised in a promotion, whichever is earlier to receive advertised inclusions….

      There isnt much included apart from the standard unlimited calls, text and data.
      Would like to know where OP was told they have 24 months to activate.

      Now lets see what great deals pop up for the week of Black Friday next month (25/11/23)

      • sumyungguy on 14/11/2023 - 17:38

        Just received my Catch Connect $89 SIM. The attached correspondence says it must be activated with 24-months of purchase. I consulted an agent who advised the 30-day activation applies to promo inclusions, of which there are none - just a discounted purchase price. I'm on half-price Amaysim 60GB from 2022, expiring this month, no retention offer yet. Others have received a $90 renewal offer plus 50GB bonus data (plus Optus outage bonus data). So if something better becomes available around Black Friday I can keep my Catch SIM until this time next year.

        • ESEMCE on 15/11/2023 - 08:53

          The promo inclusions are currently 60Gb data (potentially a bonus 60Gb on top of that - according to the offer on the main page and depending on how well CatchConnect track these Promo SIMs)

          The $120 plan might change in the future to be 40Gb data, or maybe 80Gb data who knows?
          If you activate after 30 days, you'll get the offer that is current at the time you activate, not what was being offered at the time of purchase of the SIM pack.

        • HeWhoKnows on 15/11/2023 - 18:18

          I received that same retention offer from Amaysim.
          Its a no-brainer
          But I had auto-Renew turned OFF.

          So try turning OFF Auto-Renew

        When there is boost deal for new user, we still can buy it activate as new user then ask via chat to transfer old number to the new one, right? It was working long time ago

        • Donpisang11 on 21/10/2023 - 11:18

          I heard, they are not supporting it now a days

        • Tretno on 21/10/2023 - 11:18

          Not anymore, at least the last time I tried. Chat said they no longer have the power to do so. They directed me to a call line, it seems like that’s the only way to do so now.

          • CyberMurning on 21/10/2023 - 11:57

            @Tretno: Ah I see.
            As long they do it via call it's fine for me. Probably I did the call too last time, and I said I have somehow damaged the old physical Sim but I want to keep the old number so please transfer. Both are boost anyway.

            • rob3 on 21/10/2023 - 17:38

              @CyberMurning: I did it about a month ago via chat. They said they couldnt do it and asked me to sell it to someone in the family. When i said ill just port out and back in they eventually said they would just do it this once for me.

              • Ezio on 21/10/2023 - 22:24

                @rob3: How long do you need to port out for before you can port back in to boost?

                  @Ezio: We've done it same day. Port out in the morning, waited a few hours to make sure the port was fully bedded in … then ported back to Boost. Of note, 5G took about 2 hours to become live (was only showing 3G / HSDPA and 4G). Then 5G popped up without needing to do anything. YMMV

    Question.
    I'm expecting new phone with 5g capability, any cheap provider that gives access to 5g? Only need 5 GB per month data

    • fozzie on 21/10/2023 - 11:27

      Belong $19 a month (first month $25 but then you can downgrade to $19 for 5gb) also unlimited data if you run out (albeit very slow speeds).

        Kogan one year 120GB plan is $120, cheaper than Belong.

          I'm on this now and Vodafone 4G is surprisingly ok now in my area.

          • jimojr on 21/10/2023 - 16:55

            @stephendt: Vodafone 5G is better than Telstra in my place.

        You mean I will burn that 5gb too quick?

          +2

          Haha Na I just mean, obviously you don't do too much high bandwidth usage, so realistically 4G, which is like 150mbps+ would be more than enough. 5G is alright but it tends to chew through the battery.

          • CyberMurning on 21/10/2023 - 14:48

            @Binchicken22: Ah okay. When I feel getting choppy reception with 4g phone and 4g signal , that will not improve if I have 5g phone and 5g signal, right? That is because the area is bad that's it.

        • integriti on 21/10/2023 - 17:56

          Good luck with 5gb - when I got my Optus sim a couple of weeks ago I did a few (two or three) speed tests and got the 2gb usage warning lol. Certainly experienced the blazing speed though. Test result average was 9509Mbps download and 100Mbps upload.

        2 different things
        1) activate within 30 days of purchase and they will honour the offer available at the time of purchase
        2) after 30 days, activate within 24 months from purchase and get whatever offer they have available at the pricepoint on the day you activate
        if you try to activate after 24 months, they may not recognize the SIM and you may have burned your money.

      To me if you are not with Catch Connect right now, you're a new customer as you're basically porting in from a different provider.

      • CyberMurning on 26/10/2023 - 14:17

        correct they can ban anyone that have been with them in the past, as millions people moving between providers each day.

    From the Coles Mobile thread, I suspect the same will happen with CatchConnect as it's probably the same Wholesale product from Optus and Optus seem to be putting up prices, just like Telstra.
    Note Coles $120 Plan is the 60Gb option

    What’s happening to the $120 plan?
    The $120 will be discontinued on 9 November 2023 and will no longer be available for purchase by new customers.

    If you purchase this plan before 9 November 2023, you can still activate the SIM any time before 1 January 2024 to enjoy the current plan inclusions with no impact.
