  • Dupe and better cashback at TCB https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/969348

  • Better deal at TopCashback with $50 cashback.

  • Kind of a dupe

  • You can get it from Costco for $249, which is actually $1 cheaper, and it comes with a $30 eGift card.

    When it's on sale for $219, after the eGift card you're basically only paying $189.

    • I checked today and none at Costco in Moorabbin only Telstra yearly.

  • Boost are great. Was with them but now with Kogan at $149. Wife is OnePass at $149.
    Not noticing any difference I must say.

    • Do OnePass/Kogan have wifi calling when roaming?
      I have been with Boost for that only reason

      • AI told me this.

        I've never used the feature. Can you explain the circumstances in which it's super useful?

        • I can make/receive calls and send SMS's (all free) from my Boost number when I'm overseas as if I were still in Australia.

          It used to require a Wi-Fi connection, so I needed to have a wifi hotspot with me. However, in the past few years, with a Samsung phone and a local data SIM card on the 2nd SIM, my Boost SIM could be used anytime, anywhere.

          • @Averell: That's awesome and something I'm going to need to look into.. we do spend time overseas so that's not a tech I was too across. Thank you.

      • One pass do not have call waiting and call merge features!!

    • I also switched from Boost to OnePas, day and night different. It is probably heavily dependent on your area. At work in Sydney Olympic Park I went from full bar of signal in the bathroom to absolutely 0 signal.

  • Be warn, for whatever reason boost signal was not as good as before, even in same metro area..

    • So true. Boost network has detoriated so badly. My coles mobile, which I used as a burner sim as I was already with Boost, had so much better mobile speed on 4G as compared to boost now.

    • Network congestion and your priority is set lower than those on premium Telstra plans.

  • 241.99 at Lucky mobile. Free postage with tracking

    • $200 after cashback here though?

  • I know Boost use to allow for these to be used to top up exisiting accounts with a bit of negotiating - is this still the case?

    • Probably easier to port out and back.

  • Price-beat at Officeworks makes it $237.50
    Or could try to price-beat another posters deal at Lucky Mobile advertised for $241.99 which would come down to $229.89

    • anyone tried PB with OW on these recently?

      • I price matched in store with lucky mobile. Only thing they add shipping cost too. Overall, good deal and you get the sim on the apot

      • Last time I tried they wanted me to prove that the bar code on the packet that the other retailer would sell would be the same as the one they had in store

        • sounds about right, last time they refused saying the packaging was different

          • @perhaps: mine was Boost $300 prepaid - same package.

    • I just got OW to price beat on Lucky Mobile price. They didn’t add in shipping cost, so came to $229.89. Good deal considering the SB and TCB deals never worked for me, always got the “something went wrong” error.

  • Anybody else have issues purchasing this SIM card online?

    I have tried to purchase but each time the transaction has failed

    • yea same issue here, I contacted support and all they said was to try in 4 hours (about a hour ago now)

    • Yep, then asks you to start again.

      FFS Boost

      • I fully gave up on boost after going back and forth with support, saying to try again in 4 hours, or a different browser/device. I also tried all the troubleshooting in an old thread on another boost deal with no luck. Different delivery address, payment method, etc. but didn't want to give a different identity since it might stuff up keeping my number.

        cbf anymore, might go to Aldi mobile instead if I want to stay on the network

    • Tried twice. No luck. It just says that operation can't be completed at this time, please try again later.

      Offer ends on 10-Aug. I've Vodafone connection and want to switch to Boost. If I get the sim on 09-Aug, and couldn't activate by 10-Aug, will I have to pay $50 on top?

    • I could purchase successfully just now (7th Aug). I did have the same issue yesterday and day before. Called their customer care, reported the issue and asked them if they don't want any new customers? Questioned her if one is facing issue just to become their customer, after becoming their customer what other issues one has to face. Although I don't think this would have any effect (akin to raining on a donkey) given that this issue of "Sorry, something went wrong" since many years, I just expressed my resentment.

      Anyways, I don't think this caused it to work - so first 2 times, I tried on my iphone (Chrome) with credit card, 3rd time that I just tried sucessfully was on my macbook Chrome (with new window) + a different bank debit card. And lo and behold it worked!! Hope this helps someone trying to recharge. Good luck!!

  • just wanted to confirm that if im already on boost, i can still get this but it does not come with the added 50 GB?

    • port out and back in and you should get it. Worked for me back in march

      • how long did you wait before you ported back in

        • as long as you enter the new network, I don't think it matters. I've done 4 hours before I've done 10mins before. It's all fine

  • I bought two Boost SIM cards from Costco because I thought that, since they use the Telstra network, the coverage in a major metro city would be excellent.

    Unfortunately, the experience was the complete opposite. The connection was so unreliable that I often couldn’t even make WhatsApp calls while travelling—they would either fail to connect or disconnect midway.

    Within a month, I contacted Boost and requested a refund because the service was simply too unstable to rely on. They told me to go back to Costco, but Costco said they needed written confirmation from Boost before they could process the refund.

    After being sent back and forth, I ended up writing a firm email to Boost before they finally approved the refund for both SIM cards( one used and one unused)

    Based on my experience, I wouldn’t buy Boost again.

    • How did you able to convince boost that you're having internet issues? Did you provide any screenshot etc as a proof? Or they checked from their end?

    • Sorry if this is obvious/you've already tried it, but are both SIMs failing? If it's only one it could be an issue with the installation/contact? I've had an issue previously where some crud got on the simcard and was causing issues. 99% IPA and a microfibre cloth (fine glass type) fixed the issue for me.

  • Since Boost is based on Telstra network, would it be okay to port out from Boost (Current) —> Telstra —> Boost to get this plan?

    • You'll have to argue with the rep. Their position changed on this from no to yes, but it doesn't seem consistent with their staff.

  • keeps failing at the payment page for me

    HOW GOOD

    • Seems I am not the only one experiencing the same bottleneck :)

    • I could purchase successfully just now (7th Aug). I did have the same issue yesterday and day before.
      So first 2 times, I tried on my iphone (Chrome) with credit card, 3rd time that I just tried sucessfully on my macbook Chrome (with new window) + a different bank debit card. And lo and behold it worked!! Hope this helps someone trying to recharge. Good luck!!

  • Do i need to buy another sim card to port out and back into Boost so i can get the yearly deal again?
    Whats easiest way to do it?

    • I did this with a Telstra $2 sim a few months ago and porting back and forth took literally less than 5 minutes. However, I think telstra has now made it so you need to recharge the sim to activate? Happy to be corrected.

      • No - you need to pay a minimum of $15 to select a plan at activation with Telstra now.

      • how long did you wait before you ported back in. I just bought a 2 dollar aldi sim but luckily dont have to recharge it. The number has now been ported over.. not sure how long to wait before going back to boost

        • Within minutes of porting out I ported back in. It should be fairly quick since they share the same network.

          • @perhaps: ah much faster than I thought
            Thanks!

  • Ok update - Officeworks PB call center isn't in aus anymore and now you need an officeworks account

    • Update to the update lol, PM'd in store. It was honestly theatrical😂. Lady at the counter just took a minute or 2 to check the price, free shipping status and make sure it was in australia. But she needed the manager to approve it cos it was x% off the in store price. This is where the full blown fbi investigation starts. Manager comes over and then asks to see a barcode, I say the officeworks website doesn't even have barcodes so what's the point. Then he proceeds to look up the shop on google maps to make sure its real, looks up the ABN, checks their facebook to again make sure its a real shop. That wasn't enough he then decides he needs to call up the shop and make sure the price is real and it infact is free shipping because he thinks the price they are selling it for is too cheap (even tho boost is selling it for $250). Finally got it all approved for $229.90.

      • nice

  • Any news yet if the bonus data offer will persist beyond today?

    • Usually doesn't. I've grabbed one anyway, still a great deal for $200 after cashback. If the data runs out after 12 months then its $16.67/m, 11 months is $18.18/m – not a big difference.

  • I am on Telstra prepaid. Is boost the same network priority/network experience as Telstra prepaid?

    I know in theory that they are the same level but been seeing people say Boost has deteriorated as of late so wondering if I would be downgrading going to this or not

  • If I make a new account as I’m already on boost can I get the $250 price? Anyone tried?
