Announcement posted by Boost Mobile Australia 23 Aug 2019

Winner Best Pre-Paid SIM – Long Life, Winner Best Pre-Paid SIM – Under $40, Finder Awards recognise groundbreaking Australian products and innovations that challenge the status quo
SYDNEY, Australia, 23rd August 2019BOOST MOBILE, the world’s largest youth-focused telco brand, was last night recognised at the 2019 Finder Awards, awarded “Best Pre-Paid SIM – Long Life“ and “Best Pre-Paid SIM – Under $40”. 
 
The annual Awards aim to recognise groundbreaking Australian products and innovations that are challenging the status quo. Several of Boost Mobile Anytime Plus Plans fulfil these criteria, offering great competitive value on Australia’s biggest mobile network.
 
"At Boost Mobile we work hard for our customers to deliver great value products. To be recognised with these two Finder Awards, further validates how fantastic our offers are for Australian consumers. Just $150 for an entire 12 month period providing consumers 80GB upfront to use as they wish all on Australia’s biggest mobile network is a very compelling offer, and we want to thank Finder for acknowledging that”, said Jason Haynes, General Manager, Boost Mobile. 
 
According to Finder Judges: Best Prepaid Sim (under $40)With Boost’s $30 plan, not only do you get 20GB of data on a 28-day expiry across Telstra’s network, but data rollover means it’s easy to take advantage of what you pay for. Best Prepaid Sim (long life)The $150 Boost SIM card will give you 80GB of data over 12 months plus data-free Apple Music streaming, and unlimited local, national and international calls to 25 destinations. 
 
Boost Mobile continues to challenge the status quo more broadly, with ongoing enhancements to their product line-up, including the introduction last month of a full range of Boost Refurbished Phones to its customers.
 
There are massive savings of up to $550 to be made across all Boost Mobile Premium Refurbished Phones plus a FREE $30 Boost Mobile Prepaid SIM with loads of data on Australia’s biggest mobile network. Customers can save $750 on a Samsung Galaxy S9+ 256GB (premium refurbished RRP $749 v new $1499*) or save $450 on an iPhone 7 128 GB (premium refurbished RRP $469 v new $919**). This is in addition to the environmental benefits of embracing refurbished phones, fully maximising the life cycle of the product and keeping devices in use and out of landfill for as long as possible.
 
Working to give the data hungry what they need to keep in touch, all 28 day expiry Boost Anytime Plus recharges will offer a bonus 15GB for the first 3 recharges for new and migrating customers. When customers recharge before the 2nd of September on any $30 - $70 Boost Anytime Plus plan, an extra 15GB will be automatically added onto the existing data allowance giving them up to a whopping 80GB of data.
 
Changes are also being made to the Anytime Plus Add Ons. With the $5 add on, the extra data allowance included is being boosted from 500MB to 1GB. Similarly, with the $15 add on, the extra data allowance is being boosted to 3GB. Furthermore, the $15 add-on now includes $15 credit to use on standard rates for international calls and text from Australia.
