Boost your mobile phone with Boost Mobile’s prepaid plans. Boost’s plans are aimed at those who love to use their phone for entertainment, as well as keeping in touch, plus they come with plenty of data.
The Facts
Not all prepaid plans come as impressively abundant as Boost Mobile. With a wide variety of unlimited offerings to choose from and the valuable inclusions that go in every plan, it’s no wonder the telco was chosen the 2018 winner of Canstar Blue’s annual review of prepaid phone plan providers.
Prepaid plans answer to customers’ need for freedom. But it’s not just about flexibility, it’s also about substantially contributing to make one’s mobile experience smooth and favorable. This is where Boost Mobile comes in.
What Makes Boost Mobile Different?
It’s prepaid, but not as you know it. Boost Mobile’s prepaid plans function like SIM only plans, except there are no lock-ins and you get to choose to recharge every month instead of being automatically charged. Boost’s plans still have the same great inclusions that you’ve come to expect, including their generous data allowances, data rollover, unlimited calls and texts, and unlimited international calls to select countries.
Boost Mobile’s Prepaid Plans
From the budget-conscious to the big-data-spenders, Boost has the right prepaid plan for you. The cheaper plans give you what you need without the bells and whistles, while the higher up plans come packed with features to keep you going such as data rollover to use on your next recharge. The $30, $40, $50, and $70 prepaid deals also include 15GB bonus data on the first 5 recharges.
Prepaid Plans
Boost Offer Unlimited Texts and Calls
Big on texting and calling? Never worry about going over your limit again with Boost’s offer of unlimited calls and texts to standard numbers across all of their prepaid plans. Their prepaid plans come with unlimited international calls and texts as well. Even the cheapest $10 plan with a 7-day expiry includes international talk and text to 20 countries. Depending on the plan you purchase, international inclusions vary on the number of countries (20-30 destinations). There’s bonus international minutes, too; from 100 to 3600 minutes.
Stream Apple Music Data-Free
Get your groove on with Boost’s offering of data free Apple Music streaming across their prepaid plans. With the 40 million songs available on Apple Music, you’ll have plenty to listen to, whatever your music tastes are.
Telstra 3G & 4G Network
Boost Mobile delivers unlimited talk and text plus massive data allowances and backed by the country’s largest mobile network. This appeals to many customers — connecting through Telstra’s network with prepaid plans that are cheap with no lock-in contracts. By signing up for a Boost prepaid plan, you get 3G and 4G services on the Telstra Network. By default, your device will switch to 3G and speeds will be less when you go outside of 4G coverage areas.

Boost Mobile – Prepaid Worth Having
This year, Boost Mobile expanded their offerings by introducing prepaid plans that can last for up to 12 months. Recharging every 28 days may be seen as an inconvenience. Hence, customers who feel that way will be pleased to know that Boost Mobile now has prepaid plans that can either last for 6 or 12 months. If you want an unlimited call and text service that’s good for half a year, you can start with the $100 prepaid plan with 60GB data. Double that amount and you’ll get 150GB. For 12-month expiry plans, there are also two you can choose from: $150 and $300 plans with 80GB and 240GB data, respectively.
The Good
The Gotchas
Go Big, Go Boost
There’s a reason Boost Mobile won CANSTAR Blue’s Most Satisfied Prepaid Customers award in 2018. They’ve got a good range of plans with generous inclusions across data, international calls, music streaming, and data rollover—and all of this is on Australia’s biggest mobile network.
