Best in the market for 12 mth plans. Wireless wifi as well.

published

Best in the market for 12 mth plans. Easy to manage and Telstra infrastructure but throttled to 100mbs. So what! Perfect for 4g wireless modems to defeat the NBN dramas. And so much less expensive.

Takes a full week to activate

published

Don't get this prepaid SIM if you need it urgently. It takes a full week to go active upon activation. Never had this issue with any other provider.

Edit: Also received 80GB plan instead of 150GB which I've paid for. Too much hassle for a prepaid. AVOID!

Customer service staff were nice enough though.

Review score for my second interaction with Boost.

published

This is my second review of Boost mobile, and is based solely on the Company's follow up after the initial problems I experienced that were detailed in my first review a couple of days ago (a 1 star review). After that review, Boost reached out and have made good. Their follow up communication was prompt, friendly and apologetic and the additional unexpected cost that I incurred was offset by a voucher. So I thought I would give them 5 stars for these corrective actions bringing their average to 3 stars across my two reviews.

Boost Mobile Refurbished iPhone SE 16GB Grey

published

Paid $169 on boost.com.au to buy a refurbished iphone SE 16GB grey.

What they delivered was an iphone 5s which is a cheaper and less advanced model. Have requested a refund from them today and will update this review based on how long it takes them to refund the purchase. Note there is no SE stamp on the back. This is obviously a disappointing first experience with boost.

** Update 25/4/2020 **

After chasing up a return through PayPal Resolution Centre, Boost Refurbished has supplied a Reply Paid postal address, and once my phone was returned to them, they provided a prompt refund. So it was an honest mistake on their part, but they have given good customer service and rectified the issue.

Seriously this company should not exist. I managed to get refund after complaint to Ombudsman. It was a long way but I thought it was over. About a month later, Boost sent me txt to say I have to return sim card which I've never received to get refund. Just avoid this company!

Happy with the coverage (including international) but hope for additional options

published

We bought a prepaid SIM pack (with 80GB for 12 months) from Coles 12 months ago and have recharged for another year
+ experienced quick change over from the previous carrier
+ data more than required and no need to worry about month by month quota)
+ generous international calls and texts
+ easy to check balance by dialing #111# and recharge
- I and many more low data users will appreciate smaller 20GB or 40 GB plans with long expiry 12-months
- it should be easier to contact via email or chat options

Still waiting for activation - however connected now

published

Not off to a great start. Have been waiting for the activation to take place since Thursday and now is Monday afternoon. No notifications since the initial email saying it would take up to 24 hours. Have been unable to reach boost either through chat or the phone. Very poor customer service compared to the service provider I have been with before.

Update: Was later able to get through after 40 mins on hold. Was quickly activated over the phone. Not sure why it didn't go through before. Will update and maybe give more stars in the future if the service is good.

Thanks for the reply. Once I managed to get onto someone they were very helpful and quickly sorted it out. The service is working well now. I expect to be upgrading the number of stars in the near future once I have used the service a bit more.

Bad start but everything worked out well in the end.

published

I had trouble activating for a couple of days, and was told it would not work.
Then I received an email saying it was activated.
In between I had written a poor review here, and had a reply from customer service.
I contacted them, was given an apology, and even a voucher for my next recharge.
The mobile service is good and customer service was very good.
No complaints.

I am a new customer switched over last Sunday March 29th, still have no connection, can't make any calls or receive calls. Have been on livechat they just tell me it's coz of the virus.I have emailed them they said they will respond within 5 days or I can contact customer support, but I can't ring anyone. I am using pocket
Wifi to write this as its my only communication. Should not have to wait four days. Would I be able to get a refund so I can look else where?

I finally got my service activated yesterday after requesting activation on Saturday 28 March. I ended up going through the Telstra call centre. I explained my situation and the telstra employee was able to directly transfer me through to a Boost rep and they activated it over the phone. If you can use someone else's phone to call Telstra that will be your best chance of resolving the problem.

Cheers...honestly I'm tired of the whole rigmarole, they should be working from home if the corona virus was a concern, sick of their excuses,extremely poor data speed, they dont even have the decency to repond to existing customers concerns, instead they duplicate every response,to me that explains what kind of company they are and their carefactor..I've got the s8 note so it's a good phone,no reason for crap data speed you were lucky too have jagged the Telstra rep.i wish you all the best!!!
