| Prepaid Mobile Review – Boost Mobile (April 2012) | |||||||||||
| Last review I prepared for Boost Mobile, they offered the following plans; 1c text, Free Text, Super Cap and the new Day 2 Day offer. Today the offer has shrunk quite a bit in terms of products but not so much in terms of value. The three plans on offer are the Super Cap (loosely based on the Optus New Turbo Cap Plus). They also have the LongTime offer and the Day 2 Day plan. The Super Cap starts with the new $10 recharge which gives you $60 in call credits, 60MB data and 7 days to use it. After the $10 recharge, you have a $15 and $20 recharge and then you move up to the $25 recharge which offers $200 in calls and 200MB, at $40 you get access to the popular Boost unlimited offer which lasts for 30 days. Boost’s Unlimited offer comes with unlimited talk and Txt locally (includes 13/18 calls) and 3GB of data. At the top end you have the $100 recharge with $1500 in calls and 5GB of data plus unlimited MMS and social media access. Compared with Optus’ New Turbo Cap Plus ($40 recharge), the $40 Boost is much better value. Optus only gives you $600 in calls, unlimited Txt and 1GB of data. Given they are both on the same network, I know where I would be putting my $40. A few extra’s to note with the Super Cap plan is that all recharge levels are given access to unlimited Txt and MMS plus unlimited social media access. Recharge $10 you get this, recharge $100 you also get given access to it.The Longtime offer has a 60 day expiry when you recharge for $30 and comes with $30 in call credit. At $40 you receive the unlimited offer with 3GB of data, credit lasting 30 days. At the top end, with $100 you receive $100 in call credit, 100MB of data and 186 days to use it. This isn’t the best long life recharge offer out there. Try Savvytel for better value, they also use the Optus network.Finally we have the Day to Day offer. Spend $1 per day and receive unlimited local fixed line calls and Txt/MMS plus unlimited social media. Add $1 to that ($2 per day) and get access to fixed line calls, Txt and social media plus either unlimited mobile calls or unlimited internet access. Add a further dollar and get access to everything for 30 days.What I like about Boost is that they put effort into trying something different and bold. Good luck to them I say. With new offers and products, customers always win. | |||||||||||
