Someone on reddit replied to my complaint about this and not getting all the data at once that they were given the option of that when joining up.

 

Has anyone seen if thats true because that would change the viability of it from useless as I might run out mid month to useful in that I can just use it till the data is gone and then bin the sim.

 

 

It is very much 15/32GB per month with no carryover, not a 180/384GB all-at-once pile.

 

It's also intentionally difficult to find out when the monthly renewal date is, at least on the web interface.

I'd be keen on a large or extra large perhaps if someone else wanted one of them?

I was on a Kogan Extra Large 48% off for the past 12 months expiring today. I looked at just going to their cheap plan until another Black Friday deal turned up but I decided not to risk that since 1.5G is not enough for me. So I switched to Skinny on their $17 plan which is also 1.5G but double data over the summer and a 8G welcome for porting a number.

 

Of course after the port, completed yesterday, I discovered this thread!  Luckily I have been able to purchase one half of the BOGO and I will keep Skinny going until the end of December and then activate the Kogan plan. It will be good to see the difference between Skinny (Spark) and Kogan (ONZ)

Flick me a PM, I grabbed the BOGO XL plan so I've got a second code up my sleeve

A few days late to the start of this, I’m looking for someone to split the large plan with - let me know if you’re interested. I’ve already got a Kogan SIM so would be ideal to split with someone else who already has a SIM so we don’t have to worry about that.

Does anyone know if you can go straight to a Kogan eSIM? looking at organising a large (split) for someone currently with another provider. 

 

/edit looks like no eSIMs for Kogan mobile in NZ?

Correct, no eSIM from Kogan, you do need their physical SIM.

 

And as already pointed out earlier in this thread buy the $5 starter pack then you get a month free and still time to activate the BOGOF plan before Dec 31st.

I had to query this via support for my daughter recently.  We activated her plan on boxing day 2024, so had assumed the rollover would be on the 26th. However support told me:

 

Please note that data renewals follow a 31-day cycle, rather than calendar dates or your plan activation date. This means your data will be allocated automatically after 31 days from last renewal.

 

The last renewal date will be the 1st December this year, which means the last cycle is only 25 days long.

Their website explains this -- when I was on their large plan about 2-3 years back this was disclosed upfront. Agree it's a bit odd but it's there black and white when you look at the plan details.

Sounds like a good opportunity for an online calculator where you enter your starting date, and it pops out the 31 day end points of each cycle?

Extra data may sting. That's not unusual.
