> That tells me that a provider using the Telstra network would be perfectly fine for a fraction of the cost. Until you find yourself…

To the best of my knowledge, only Telstra (and Boost, I've also read) $2 SIM cards can be activated without adding a plan and paying more…

I just read that the cheapest plan (that you can change to after the first month) from 1/7/25 will be $25 for 10GB.

Activate a $2 Telstra SIM, scroll down past the plans offered, and select "Continue without recharging". (Generally good for 6 months…

When it comes to activating a $2 Telstra SIM, you can port in *or* get a new number, the choice is yours. If opting for a new number you…

I don't currently have a Yomojo service (but have had previously), but I can still login to the new dashboard. If I add a service it says,…

Did you start by activating it on As You Go, or something else?

> Have you ever come across this issue? No, I sat this one out. Having had a Mate mobile service in the past, I could've run foul of the…

I don't know where that user is getting 90 days from. I'm looking at the back of an Amaysim $50 starter pack right now and it says,…

The wording on the back of the pack is 12 months from the date of purchase, so you'll be fine. (Beyond 12 months, YMMV I guess.)

Not exactly, as it was a while ago. But it can't have been too onerous; it's the painful ones that tend to leave an impression.

If you started with a $2 SIM, you'd still have to activate it on As You Go (and pay another $10, minimum) first, before you can switch…

> I’ve seen the signal fall to 3G, and at times, I can’t even make a simple phone call. How long ago was this? Vodafone were the first…

> What's up with this? I've never seen it before. How long has this been a thing? Is it common? Anyone know the reason? Is there some weird…

Short answer: It'll work on Telstra Wholesale MVNO's (subject to the Wi-Fi network being used not blocking it). It won't work on Optus or…

Either cancel (and lose the number), or port out (keeping the number). For anyone thinking of giving this a shot, it's probably best to…

It's post-paid, and billed monthly in advance. As such, there's no "auto recharge" like you might have with a pre-paid service.

Mate is post-paid, not pre-paid, so you can't just let the credit expire as you would on a pre-paid service.

I'd definitely be trying Shizuku + Pixel IMS in that case. If you find that it works, the next thing to check is if the setting "sticks"…

On my C21, VoLTE doesn't even appear as a standard settings option, even with a non-Lebara SIM, and that doesn't change when using Pixel…

There's something funky going on affecting VoLTE when using some handsets with Lebara. To get VoLTE working with a Lebara SIM in a Realme…

Was it the rather common "Something went wrong" message, or something else? (I've had "Something went wrong" quite often, but eventually…

I've got a $35 Telstra starter pack that I don't plan on activating until May. If I go through the initial motions of activating it, I'm…

> Does it specially need to be Telstra $2 SIM? Most other $2 SIM cards require you to part with more money during the activation process.…

Telstra (and Boost) Pre-Paid starter packs have an expiry date printed on them. If you buy online, it's a lucky dip as to what you'll get.…

No, you can still get 10% off regular grocery items, even when those items are on special. That's pretty much what I used to do when I used…

Have you checked that there's actually Classic Reward Seat availability though? Have you checked what the taxes / fuel fines will be? Got…

Data point: My Lyca purchase on 3/11/24 had the cashback approved on 4/3/25.

It's now Day 61, and it can still receive calls.
