What data allowance a 6GB prepaid recharge includes

The 6GB allowance is the smallest column in the Boost prepaid table. Here is what it costs, how long it lasts and what else comes with it.

The 6GB recharge is the cheapest column in the Boost prepaid table and the only one on the 7 day expiry term, which makes it easy to misread as a small monthly plan.

That is one column, not a family. The next column along is $28 for 8GB on 28 days, so the step from the cheapest plan to the next is a jump in both price and term.

What you give up at this price point

Whether it fits your use

At 7 days and 6GB, the plan suits a week of light use. If you use more than that in a week, the expiry is the binding constraint, not the data.
