    Lol I see a Boost rep on Lemmy. Hey, Boost is hell expensive when compared to others. Bring your prices down and i’ll think about switching.

      But not compared to regular Telstra its not, no. Show me a network with comparable coverage AND value to Boost and I’ll concede. But Boost is almost always the best option unless your budget extends to one of the JB Telstra plans.

      I buy the 365 day expiry for $250 whenever its on special, and that’s my years mobile plan covered for $21 a month.

      I’ve been on Vodafone and Optus too. Mostly out of spite from having to deal with Telstra’s billing which is a disaster.

      Vodafone surprisingly good, Optus terrible. Vodafones main issue was coverage… any time I headed out west for work it would die anywhere outside of civilisation. And I have never received so much spam SMS as I did in the 3 months I was with Optus. Also missed calls come through in oddly formatted numbers so they don’t appear to be from your contact… i.e. the missed call SMS shows “you missed a call from 1234567890” and the SMS shows it came from 6112345690 instead of John Smith, even if John Smith is saved with the correct +6112345690 formatting (or ‘wrong’ 1234567890 formatting).

      The only Boost I’ve ever repped was boostcruising.com, RIP that place. If Boost Mobile want to flick us some bucks I’ll take it though!

          But they aren’t Telstra, they’re Telstra Wholesale. The difference in coverage is critical - IMO - because although it’s only another 1ish percent of the population, that translates to a huge amount of extra surface area. And those are the areas I go.

          For some people they may be options worth considering, but if you’re able to do with a smaller coverage footprint you may as well go all the way and jump on Vodafone. They have even better deals.

      I thought you “maintained a certain lifestyle”? Maybe you should ask you’re wife how you could save a little more cash around the house
