What is a Data Boost?

What are Data Boosts? We thought you’d never ask.

We’ve created a range of data boost options that you can add onto your plan whenever you want. That means if you’re running out of data, you have the option to add extra data without having to upgrade your plan. This is a one-time purchase and activates only when you choose to add it. It expires at the end of the month.

What are the boost options?

Why have you introduced more options?
Life is unpredictable sometimes. The internet goes down and you’ve had to hotspot for hours to get your work done. Now your data’s on life support with days left until your plan renews. The options? Staying close to WiFi, upgrading to a higher plan or paying excess data charges. But there’s no need to put your life, nor your bank account, on hold. Boost to the end with a choice of one-off data top ups suited to your circumstances. With a range of boosts from 1GB up to 25GB and easily accessible in a few taps of the Circles Life app, the power of data predictability is all yours. Rule your boost!

How long do I have to use the extra data?
Until the end of the billing period in which you purchase the boost. For example, if you purchase it on the 1st of the month you have a whole month to use it, if you buy it on the last day of the month, then you have 24 hours. With this in mind, it’s a good idea to work out roughly how much data you need and buy the right boost option.

Can I buy more than one within a month?
Yes, if you need more than one data boost you can purchase as many as you need within the same month.

Do they work overseas?
No. The data is only for use within Australia. For information on our overseas data, check out the information here.
