Boost Mobile has today announced a big plan refresh and the new data inclusions are market-beaters, offering some of the best value on the Telstra network and, in some cases, the best data for dollar value around, period.
Here are the new plans, which all come with unlimited talk and text on a 28 day recharge:
- $20 for 5GB (up from 3GB)
- $30 for 20GB (up from 12GB)
- $40 for 30GB (up from 22GB)
- $50 for 40GB (up from 32GB)
- $70 for 65GB (up from 52GB)
It's important to note that as these plans are offered on a 28 day recharge, you will end up recharging 13 times through the year.
Boost Mobile has also introduced new long expiry prepaid plans with 186 and 365 day expiry options. The plans come with unlimited talk and text as well as the following inclusions:
- $100 for 60GB over 186 days
- $200 for 150GB over 186 days
- $150 for 80GB over 365 days
- $300 for 240GB over 365 days
Boost has now also extended international call inclusions to all plans, including its long expiry deals. Plans now come with unlimited talk and text to between 20-30 selected destinations. All plans also come with an additional limited allowance of international talk and text to 25-35 extra destinations.
Boost has also extended data rollover to cover 28-day expiry plans costing $20 or more, where it was previously only available on plans costing $30 or more. However, unused data rolls over for use only within the next recharge. This is a shame, given that most other providers offering data rollover allow you to keep you data indefinitely up to a set limit like 200GB (what you can currently bank with Telstra prepaid plans).
Boost is also offering a bonus of 15GB of data on the first five recharges for new customers, if they activate by May 13 and recharge with $30 or more. Customers must make remaining recharges by September 2 to get the subsequent bonuses.
