Ignore the $55 Per Month on the packaging. It's really just $55 credit.
Before you activate make sure you get a referral code from a friend already with Belong or the OzBargain Belong pool for an additional $20 credit. If you've been with Belong before you will have to use a new email in order to get the referral credit again.

    FYI - The cheapest plan is being jacked to $25 per month starting 1st July. Still a good deal if staying for 3 months.

    Also if you manage to get a 2nd $20 referral credit it's very cheap.

    • DOGGYWOWWOW on 30/06/2025 - 17:49

      Is the cheapest method first month $30 plan then 2 months on $25 plan? So costs $25+$5 for 3 months ($55 credit + $20 referral + $5 cash top-up to pay the total $80 for the 3 months)

      Doesn't appear you can buy the $25 plan in the first month.

      • WatchNerd on 30/06/2025 - 17:54

        Yes it appears so.

        • Jaduqimon on 30/06/2025 - 18:04

          Cheapest method is buy those $80 sims for cheap or use telstra pts. Activate on that then use the replace sim feature and use the 55$ sim as replacement and be credited with the $55.

          80+55+20 referal = 155
          Month 1 -30/125 left
          Month 2 drop to 25 plan and u have 5 more month left of credit.

          Total 6 months. For about 10bux a month

          You can get 6 months

          • charleslx on 30/06/2025 - 19:10

            @Jaduqimon: So you mean if I replace my activated sim card with a $55 sim card, the $55 will also be added to my account?

          • INFIDEL on 01/07/2025 - 22:26

            @Jaduqimon: Note can't add $80 SIM as a replacement SIM.
            But can first activate $80 SIM & replace with $55 SIM

            "If you're using an $80 SIM, the credit won't transfer to your account. It only applies to new services."

            Thanks. Will try that tomorrow.

            • Jaduqimon on 01/07/2025 - 22:27

              @INFIDEL: yes thats why i said activate the $80 sim first

              • INFIDEL on 01/07/2025 - 22:40

                @Jaduqimon: Just clarifying so people (like me) don't make mistake, adding $80 as the replacement😉
                Will be adding this $55.
                Quoted text is from Activate replacement SIM in app.

                Belong don't provide replacement SIMs like other telcos, so that seems only use - adding (discounted) SIM to existing account.

                Have used Belong for years, but never knew that👍
                From days when 2000 Telstra Plus points bought $80 Belong SIM. Bought so many!

                Usually I activate discounted SIM on new account, referring myself from old account to get $20 on old (still on old $21/M plan) & new accounts. Then transfer 7GB from old to new account.

                Did that today with last month's $45 SIM bought from Coles for $22 (less $5.50cr in Flybuys 4 x $50 spend for $50cr). Unfortunately no current Flybuys offer.

    Confused? Packaging says 160GB, and you are saying 55GB? It says per month on packaging, but you are saying it is not per month?

      Youre confusing yourself. Have some basic comprehension skills and read his post again carefully.

      • ja1829 on 30/06/2025 - 17:50

        Impressive confidence for someone who can't tell the difference between condescension and clarity.

        • Jaduqimon on 30/06/2025 - 17:52

          He never said 55gb i duno where you read that

      Ignore the $55 Per Month on the packaging. It's really just $55 credit.

      You can choose other plans (except the $25 plan) on signup.

      • CatInTheHat7 on 02/07/2025 - 08:58

        Can you choose a data only plan?

  • roofyapple on 30/06/2025 - 18:58

    Can you use it on a number you used with belong previously? As long as you use a new email address to get the referral credit?

    • SirFrankGrimes on 30/06/2025 - 19:30
      +2

      Yes. I’ve churned in/out of this for years. Currently averaging $12-15/month with 3-4 months on Belong then a month on Boost/Amaysim

    • Chris T on 30/06/2025 - 19:31
      +3

      Correct. To get referral credit you have to provide an email address you've not used with a Belong account previously. The Gmail dot trick comes in handy.

  • alan737 on 30/06/2025 - 23:25

    How many times can a referral code be used?

    • Chris T on 01/07/2025 - 12:20

      Once your friend's service is active, you'll receive $20 off your next monthly payment. You'll get this for every friend who joins Belong mobile using your promo code, up to a maximum of ten friends. Each of your friends will also receive a $20 credit after they activate their services.

      You have to keep track yourself of how many times your promo code has been used.

  • Super doobie on 01/07/2025 - 10:08

    Ive been with belong for years, i used to do the referral and get the halfprice specials but now the minimum monthly plan is going up. Im going to kogan or aldi. Anyone elses thinking about changing? Kogan 500g a year looks like a better deal then this.

    • WatchNerd on 01/07/2025 - 11:08

      As mentioned in the 1st & 2nd comment - $30 for 3 months is still a great deal, then sim slut somewhere else.

      This has unlimited throttled data too. Works fine watching YT at 480p.

  • CatInTheHat7 on 02/07/2025 - 12:17

    @WatchNerd can a data only plan be selected when activating?

    • WatchNerd on 02/07/2025 - 12:53

      They have specific data SIMS available so I don't think these can be used. Just be aware data SIMS don't have data rollover so not as good.

      I just USB tether or hotspot from my phone.

      • INFIDEL on 02/07/2025 - 16:05

        To get around no data rollover with Data Plan…
        Gift data to a trusted friend on Belong Phone Plan. Then have it gifted back.
        Did that days ago.

  • INFIDEL on 02/07/2025 - 16:23

    Some advantages with using Belong…

    GIFTING Data - eg to roll over data from old account when setting up new account.
    REFERRAL - $20 each, including self referral when setting up new account. Adds to your old & new accounts. Or fellow user's account.
    UNPAID DATA - when run out of credit - data is slowed. Have used 2.5GB/d (watched SBS on Demand movies etc & downloaded).

    • reddevilpin on 02/07/2025 - 17:48

      How do you roll over data from old account?

      • INFIDEL on 02/07/2025 - 18:13

        As I commented, by "GIFTING Data" to new account. Used to gift over 1TB to new SIM.

        • reddevilpin on 03/07/2025 - 09:33

          OK
          but old account with number 123 .. port out …port back in with belong starter pack with different email. ..

          how to gift data in this scenario?

          • INFIDEL on 03/07/2025 - 13:25

            @reddevilpin: Once you leave your Belong account, all data & credit is lost. As happens will all SIMs.
            Can't gift data from a closed account!

            You port out if you need to retain your number. I rarely do that with Belong.

            I use Belong in Dual SIM mobile. Along with long term number on other SIM / eSIM to receive calls & SMS. (Usually on Amaysim using PAYG for 1yr.)
            Call / SMS unimportant numbers with Belong. Only use main number if they need to know it's me.

            That way can set up new Belong account on new SIM. Gift Data from old to new account. Then close old account before billed for next month.

            Been doing that for years. Discussed in old Deals.

            Allows use of self referral from old account to activate new account. Both receive $20.
            My old account is still on old $21/M plan, so costs $1 to keep old SIM for another month for extra 7GB (to use or gift).
            But that $21/M plan runs out for me in August, costing $25 for 10GB.

            Otherwise use different referral & cancel old account before billed for next month.

            • reddevilpin on 03/07/2025 - 14:55

              @INFIDEL: thanks ! .. will do that moving forward.

              • INFIDEL on 03/07/2025 - 15:02

                @reddevilpin: Getting my first Dual SIM mobile almost 10 years ago - changed how I use SIMs.

                • reddevilpin on 03/07/2025 - 15:17

                  @INFIDEL: I have dual sim mobile long time ago .. just never thought of doing this.
                  i.e call /sms unimportant numbers with the belong number…..

    After my major issue with EXPIRED BELONG SIM…
    Warning! Before buying BELONG SIM Pack:
    Check production date on back of pack is not much more than 1 year ago
    If too old, won't activate. Store won't refund.
    Belong say to buy another SIM & activate.
    Required to send photos of pack & proof of purchase.
    Then they will only add that $ credit to the new SIM once activated!
    Otherwise you've done your money💰

    Struck a major problem with FAULTY SIM😜

    SIM was unrecognised in 3 unlocked mobiles. Showed No Sim Inserted

    (Could happen with any SIM, not just from Belong!)

    Most telcos offer a quick simple solution…
    use replacement SIM (from telcos shop), $2 SIM, or eSIM.

    NOT BELONG!!
    Belong will mail out a replacement SIM, but that will likely take a week😜
    If you activated, you pay for a service you can't use😜😜

    Had Activated a $45 SIM from Coles, porting my number in use for over 10 years…

    After about 30 min, Belong notified me my number was ready to use…

    But when inserted SIM & restarted mobile - found had lost use of my number😜😜
    No calls, SMS, 2FA to pay bills or move number to another Telco etc, nothing

    Thats when realised SIM didn't work with other mobiles - SIM WAS FAULTY!!

    Contacted Belong - only option apart from long wait for mail, was to BUY ANOTHER BELONG SIM, & click Activate replacement SIM in account app.

    Same expensive solution they offered to fix EXPIRED SIM! That complaint dragged on for months.

    But it quickly worked.
    Bought this $55 SIM with Flybuys Dollars.
    Quickly Activated on my long term number.
    Added $55 credit to account.

    Should not have had to waste my time & money doing that to a fix telcos problem.

    But glad to get my number back!! 24 hours later😜

    Advice: always insert SIM into mobile BEFORE activation! Check its not a faulty SIM🤔

  • Chris T on 04/07/2025 - 11:49

    Note that when purchasing a Belong Starter pack at Coles it is treated like a gift card. As such, you cannot use a gift card to pay for it, in part or in full. This also applies when paying for a shop which includes both the Starter pack and grocery items.

    Additionally I found today that making a split payment with cards was not permitted. It seems that the only accepted option when the shop includes a Belong Starter pack is to make a single card payment. I got a Coles staff member to try to help me, but there didn't seem to be any other way that worked.

    • INFIDEL on 06/07/2025 - 09:58

      Problem with buying all SIMs in my experience.
      Staff can't do anything.
      Bought mine with Flybuys Dollars.

  • INFIDEL on 09/07/2025 - 16:23

    Got another today - to use later.
    (Checked SIM not faulty!)

    Still available at this price.
    No sale price / expiry date showing in store.
    Was not in local catalog.
    (Deal image shows available until 8/7)

    Bought as part of my wk1 spend of Flybuys 4 x $50 for $50cr So effectively cost $18.75

    Using $20 Referral Randomiser:
    Month1 $30 (25GB)
    Months 2&3 $25 (10GB ea)
    Data rolls over. Can be gifted to another Belong SIM.
    Total charge $80 less $55+20 credit.

    So $18.50 + $5 for 3 months & 45GB = $7.92/month.

  • Suricate on 09/07/2025 - 23:11

    I guess I need to study this before buying one

    • INFIDEL on 10/07/2025 - 11:18

      Major difference between Belong & regular prepaid SIMs…

      BELONG is prepaid BUT a month to month service!
      It's expensive to add data (there are cheaper ways).
      Current plan can't be changed until following month.

      If you don't PORT OUT or CANCEL in app before next monthly billing date - you will be charged!
      There is no simple option to stop like unclicking auto-pay. Never been a problem over many years of use.

      Otherwise with $20 referral credit, able to gift data, slowed at no cost data after data runs out (have been using 2.5GB/d), it's a fairly cheap monthly service

  • MurahMeriahOy on 14/07/2025 - 12:23

    I am little bit confused.
    After followed the step with the referral.
    I had to manually change the plan to 30?
    And then I can only see credit for $20?
    What went wrong?

    Help please @WatchNerd

    Thanks OP.

    Unfortunately the value is diminishing….

    But good deal nonetheless.

    Remember to use a referral when signing up to ensure you also get a $20 credit
