    anyone here on vodafone? My boost sim runs out next month and now that Vodafone have solved their regional issues (by stealing someone else’s network) I’m curious to hear what its like, specifically in Melbourne where boost is… lets be real not amazing since the 3g shutdown.

      Plan on switching to Vodafone from Boost in the next day or two, thanks to that $150/365-day prepaid plan myself. Will let you know if it’s a super terrible experience, but I’m based quite centrally.

        Cheers that’d be awesome. Yeah was debating that but sadly the boost sim is still good till mid April so I dont really want to waste those couple of weeks. Hopefully they do another one next month.

          I’m almost certain you can buy it now and activate it when needed (within a year according to ozbargain). The bonus data is only on future recharges, the current promotional price is once off and it’s not like they can retroactively add $100 fee when you go to activate it next month.

          We must be on the same sim-slut cycle.

            yeah its the “almost” thats stopping me from pulling the trigger. Suppose 150 bucks for 6 months still isnt horrible. Just a long time if the network is iffy.

              Picked up my sim and transferred numbers from Boost today. All happened basically instantly.

              I was categorically assured that the sim card can be bought now and activated later. The pack itself says it only expires after a year.
