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.
oh awesome. Well, may as well take a punt I guess!
