Interesting/odd mobile plan behaviour (Warehouse Mobile)

May or may not be useful information to someone.

After no Kogan special I signed up for Warehouse Mobile "$15" plan for a month that came with extra data.

It expired about five days ago. And while I was going to (and will) renew with Kogan I got caught up in stuff going on, and as a result ended up with no plan.

Perhaps obvious things:

you can still receive txts (I knew that already).

Suprised to find Incan also still receive calls (makes sense I guess, they are the one paying).

The interesting thing:

I am still getting mobile data. At least six days after my plan ended.

I don't want to check the balance in case it then wipes it off. But I guess it's something to do with yr bonus data.

I kinda need my number active unfortunately (especially since stupid Warehouse turned on my answering service again - something I'd never check even if I could!) - or else I'd just keep it going and see what happens.

I might even chuck in the card occasionally to check, or just download a 5gb+ file before I switch and see if I hit the limit.

Probably not helpful - but interesting. Makes me wonder how long it'd last (time wise) Would be super helpful for a car GPS tracker or similar.

  • I don't know of any provider that wouldn't let you receive calls with no plan.

      Agreed - I have SIMs that have not been active (no plan, and no top up) for up to 11 months (probably you could push it to 364 days, but I have always topped up after about 11 months to be safe), and they have always been able to receive calls and SMS messages.

    • It's even been recording voicemail for me. I hadn't set it up, but I accidentally called the number on via my watch and it started the set up process.

      Seems I have an active plan with no credit, but data. I'm guessing either the Sim/plan will expire after 30 days, or the bonus data (I don't even remember how much. 5gb maybe?) will run out.
