=====I thought you offered smaller $10/$15 plan?=====
$10/mth plan stopped in 2020, the year of COVID. [[https://www.belong.com.au/support/mobile/getting-started/getting-started/which-belong-mobile-plan-is-right-for-me|The cheapest plan now is $15/mth]], available after you activated the SIM.
 

======How to best use the $20 Referral Credit======
=====New Customers - use with discounted starter pack=====
Before you activate make sure you get a referral code from a friend who is already with Belong or from [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/api/referral/35|OzBargain Belong Mobile pool]] for an additional **$20 credit**. 

As to where to enter the referral code... TBA 
 

====$25 starter pack====

===2 Months 23GB===
  * Activate on the $25 20GB per month plan. 
  * Then switch to the $15 3GB per month plan for the 2nd month. You should be able to switch straight away once your account is set up & activated. 
  * The first 2 months cost is covered ($25 starter pack credit plus $20 referral credit) and data rolls over every month or can be gifted. 
  * $5 referral credit will be left over.
 
===2 Months 40GB===
  * Activate on the $25 20GB per month plan.
  * stay there for the 2nd month. **This will cost you another $5** as the referral credit is only $20.
 


====$40 starter pack====

===3 Months 26GB===
  * Activate on the $25 20GB per month plan. 
  * Then switch to the $15 3GB per month plan for the 2nd month. You should be able to switch straight away once your account is set up & activated. 
  * The first 3 months cost is covered ($40 starter pack credit plus $20 referral credit) and data rolls over every month or can be gifted. 
  * $5 referral credit will be left over.
 

====$45 starter pack?====
Not yet on market, but dare say it will be now the largest plan is $45/80GB. When that happens, activate on $25 plan and stay for another month before switching to $15 plan. You will get 3 months 43 GB and use up all the credits!

=====Hack For Existing Customers=====
Activate the same as above but in a family or friends name & email. Use your referral code from  to give yourself $20 credit. Make sure you actually use the new sim in a spare phone so you can't be accused of breaching the "Customer Terms". Gift the 23GB data to yourself gradually or towards the end of the 2 months.
