    Great for people like me who needs international calls. But wish this has esim.

  • A 1 on 29/04/2025 - 20:14

    Clicking through to the link, page says, "New customers only" is there a work around anyone knows of?

    Might need to update the title.

    edit Or maybe I glossed over the "Starter pack" part of the title, sorry!

      You should be able to port in your number if you are with another provider. If you are already with Coles then you could use a $2 Telstra starter sim to port out your number (no recharge needed) and then port in to Coles.

      Hope this helps!

        I thought that might be the go, cheers for confirming.

      • pandadude on 30/04/2025 - 13:20

        Could use the Optus Network Trial. However, it becomes an internal port between Optus to Optus MVNO.

        By the way are you sure the Telstra $2 dollar sim works. Without a recharge how exactly do you reply to the sms porting verification when leaving Telstra?

        • mightywhiteoak789 on 30/04/2025 - 14:13

          I did it last week so yes, I am sure it works!

          You don't have to reply to the SMS, just have to receive the code and input it during your activation on the other network.
          FYI - On Telstra you only get a week on incoming calls and texts before you have to add credit.

          • pandadude on 30/04/2025 - 16:56

            @mightywhiteoak789: Just to clarify how exactly do you input the code during activation on the other network?

            My understanding you request the mobile company to transfers your number. Then they send your the code. Are you calling the phone company back or smsing the number using the new sim card?

            • mightywhiteoak789 on 30/04/2025 - 19:20

              @pandadude: Before you can use the new SIM, you have to activate it on the new network's website, using a desktop/tablet. It asks for your basic information including the number you would like to port in.

              During activation you choose the option to use your existing number and provide the mobile number that you would like to keep. They send you a text message containing the OTP to verify that you own the number. You read the OTP from your phone and input it into the field on your browser. And then continue with the rest of the activation process.

              Hope it makes sense.

              • pandadude on 01/05/2025 - 19:49

                @mightywhiteoak789: Thanks. I will check the next time l port services. I might have missed it last time but will keep an eye out.

    Would recommend the Moose Mobile deal ($12.4 for 6 months) with 40GB data- Optus network (4G and 5G capped at 100mbps)

    • katrodiyar on 29/04/2025 - 20:38

      It's is $12.40 per month not $12.49 for 6 months.

      • OZBMate8911 on 29/04/2025 - 21:13

        $12.40 per month for 6 months***

    4G only is a bit of a bummer

    • superforever on 29/04/2025 - 21:28

      Bought it today, will move from Boost, Boost even have 5G, still not good anyway and expensive, even first time received SMS from them, giving me $50 discount on $300 plan but still I don't need that much of data.

      • pcwa218 on 30/04/2025 - 19:56

        I feel disappointed to move to boost 5g as I always cant get data work for the place I usually go, even Optus 4g can work fine with no issue. Can’t wait to move back!

        • superforever on 30/04/2025 - 20:00

          Yeah, I can't even get signal from inside Coles supermarket of my shopping centre, I moved my wife to Coles mobile and it is fine now. Will move myself next month.

  • cashless on 29/04/2025 - 21:32

    Rollover up to 500GB

    More than the annual data allowance!
    Think you mean 50GB

    • Dr Phil on 30/04/2025 - 19:28

      Sorry cashless - wrong mate.

      OP is 100% correct
      Copied directly from Coles Mobile if you'd clicked on the link and cared to check.

      What this means is that you can accumulate and rollover up to 500GB data.

  • keji on 29/04/2025 - 21:56

    Can anyone chime in on why telcos are able to offer reciprocal text and calls to the 15 countries? I'm guessing Optus has relationships with other operators but keen to hear from someone in the know.

    • mpember on 29/04/2025 - 22:27

      Because countries like the US charge both parties for the call, spreading the costs between the call maker and the call taker reduces the costs for the originating network.

  • freeb1e4me on 29/04/2025 - 22:50

    Activate within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised in a promotion, whichever is earlier, to receive advertised inclusions colesmobile.com.au

    I’m confident you can always activate before the promotion end date rather than within the 30 days

  • damz on 29/04/2025 - 23:13

    Can we use Coles GC to purchase this sim?

    • superforever on 29/04/2025 - 23:31

      Yes, did that today, just pick up the card and use self check out

  • solacens on 30/04/2025 - 10:24

    Argh still got hundred of GBs banked in amaysim.

    • Dr Phil on 30/04/2025 - 19:29

      Amaysim is great!

      • solacens on 30/04/2025 - 19:29

        Agree. But there is no deal and 21 days till expiry.

        Real Ozbargainer don't accept RRP.

  • solacens on 21/05/2025 - 17:20

    I think it got extended to end at 03 Jun

    • KiwiBloke on 21/05/2025 - 17:21

      Thanks, I’ve updated the expiry date of the deal

      • solacens on 21/05/2025 - 17:22

        Nice.

        Gonna grab one as mine will expire tmr. Thanks OP.

  • Nuff-Nuff on 21/05/2025 - 18:54

    Currently on this plan which expires 4th June.
    Anybody know what ‘inclusions’ mean with regard to activating sim. E.g. I assume based on the promotional period I’ll need to activate by 3/6? So I can’t just buy a cheap 21 day prepaid with another provider then port back later in the month?

    • KiwiBloke on 21/05/2025 - 19:00

      You can buy this deal (by 3rd June) and then activate within 30 days according to the deal terms. But you’ll just need to port out first (get an Aldi $5 sim) and then activate the Coles sim

      • Nuff-Nuff on 21/05/2025 - 19:09

        Doesn’t “Activate within 30 days of purchase or by the date advertised in a promotion (whichever is earlier)” mean I would have to activate before 3rd June as that’s the promotional period and is earlier than 30 days?

        • KiwiBloke on 21/05/2025 - 19:20
          +1

          Pretty sure they still give you more time than that to actually activate, according to this comment you may have much longer:

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14338921/redir

          Although if you still want to be on the safe side, seeing as your current plan expires on the 4th June, you could just port out and then activate this on the 3rd June? You’d only lose out 1 day of your current plan..

  • zuslab on 22/05/2025 - 09:10

    Just wondering if anyone can help confirm, will I still be able to receive SMS while I'm overseas if I don't have roaming turned on? I don’t need to make calls or use mobile data, just need to receive text messages.

    • Allen A on 01/06/2025 - 16:38

      International Roaming is enabled by default with our service, and you will be able to receive SMSs whilst overseas at no additional cost prioviding you are connected to the overseas network. However, if you would like to do everything else such as make/receive calls, send SMS and use data, you will need to manually purchase our PAYG roaming pack which can be done via your dashboard. You can view our roaming rates by searching the country you are travelling to here: https://colesmobile.com.au/pages/roaming-rates.
      This is from the customer support team.

  • Salmando on 22/05/2025 - 18:30

    Got this, much regret in the Brisbane region. 4G coverage seems ok, however mobile internet is super slow and rough even when showing decent reception

  • Allen A on 01/06/2025 - 16:54

    From the customer support team, this sim plan can receive the text whilst overseas without extra costs. Also, he mentioned there are no bonuses within this deal, so you can activate this plan within 24 months, do not need to worry about the activation period.
    All the information comes from the coles mobile support team. You’d better confirm it with Coles again when making your purchase.
