Get twice as much data, but only for your first two recharges.

Ever since telcos started offering unlimited standard national calls and texts even on low-cost prepaid plans, the comparative difference has shifted towards data. Boost Mobile's latest offer to entice new customers is to offer double the standard data amounts on recharges above $30 for the first two recharges only. Plans at or above $30 can also roll over unused data if you recharge within the expiry period, although that's only for a further 28 day expiry period.

Boost Mobile is also opening up its recharge levels, with new plans at $40 and $50 with 8GB of data and 12GB of data respectively. With the double data offer, that means that you could score 24GB of data per month for $50 for two months, along with unlimited standard national calls and texts. After that two month period you'd be looking at a 12GB plan. The double data deal will run from today through to 6 February 2018.

Boost Mobile has also introduced a new $15 add-on component for international callers, with unlimited calls to standard numbers in Canada, China, Germany, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, UK and USA. The $15 add-on credit can also be used for calls to countries outside that group, with 28-day expiry, but as it's a bolt-on, you've got to have an active recharge of some other type to add it to.
