    Hi rep, how do I go about changing my parents current Jeenee plans to this one?

      • Forenti on 18/12/2015 - 17:04
        +19

        That's exactly why I left Jeenee - kept on being excluded from all these good deals. Luckily I got on to the Optus $20 Click Frenzy deal for a few months and after that I can have a look at what you're offering 'new' customers like myself :)

      • unco on 18/12/2015 - 17:13
        +44

        I've never understood this discrimination against current customers by companies.

        So it's either continue to get the same payments from them but give them access to the extra inclusions everyone else is being offered, or lose the current customers' business and get no money from them at all.

        Forenti - guess I better start looking at where to move them over to next too.

        • Forenti on 18/12/2015 - 17:15
          +5

          Exactly - don't they say it's cheaper to retain a customer than to acquire a new one?

        • get-innocuous on 18/12/2015 - 17:31
          +6

          @Forenti: Not if customer aquisition involves "posting on OzBargain (for free) and getting them to sign up online without any human interaction." In that case new customer aquisition is much cheaper than reducing your margins on existing customers.

          The gamble here is that the reduction in revenue from customers who are annoyed enough to leave is less than the reduction in revenue from customers who would take up a cheaper plan offer if it was available to them.

          @get-innocuous:

          If they made changing plan like most isps, just log on to their website and choose one of their new plans, then it wouldnt cost them anything. Also only customers that know about new plans would bother changing, so you get to maintain your higher margins on everyone else. Its what most isps do.

          Like this they may lose customers.

        • get-innocuous on 18/12/2015 - 17:41

          @cheesecactus: But it does cost them - if you move from a $22 plan to an $18 plan it costs them $48/customer/year. Thier gamble is that that cost is greater than the cost of lost customers from not being able to move to promo plans.

        • cheesecactus on 18/12/2015 - 17:44
          +3

          @get-innocuous:

          Thing is though, the customers that know about the new plans are the same ones who would leave them.

          So by adding the option to swap, they will retain their higher margins with 90% of their customers who wont bother changing, but they'll also retain the 10% who would have otherwise swapped away.

          That being said theres probably a chunk of people who wouldnt have swapped, but if they found out about new cheaper plans, would probably switch. But i cant imagine this is many people. Hell i'm someone whos always on ozbargain and didnt notice for 6 months i could have swapped my telstra phone plan for one $10 less pm and over double the amount of data.

          @get-innocuous:
          It really depends on how you apply that phrase. If you're purely talking about one customer who is already with the company and one customer who isn't, then obviously it is cheaper to keep that customer as you save on the fixed costs associated with bringing the customer across such as labour and the sim + shipping. This is a simple model and we could make it more complex but I really don't think there's much point

          Made an account just to say this, but apparently Optus has been offering its resellers a bonus for each new customer they sign up. I assume that's why they can offer these plans so cheaply but only to new customers.

        • dlovep on 22/12/2015 - 13:17

    I've heard too many bad things about Optus network the last 18 months.
    3 years ago it was Voda who sucked, now it's apparently Optus and Voda is half ok.

    I GOTTA move away from Telechoice (Telstra, re-sold, 3G only) I'm blown away by how frequently it drops out to no signal at all, really surprising. (Was good for the first year too)

        I'm in Melbourne, most of my friends with Optus report more issues than I do with TC. I'm surprised to say most of the time I'm having issues, it's the Voda friends without issue.

          @oswade: Well that kinda concretes it for me, at least 2 people agreeing with the same thing.
          It's SUPER weird. Full signal dropout, it almost feels like my phones software for the antenna is crashing and reloading.

          This is kinda really bad, I'm gonna switch to a 4G Voda plan as soon as I find one under $20 with 1gb data, unlimited SMS and reasonable call quantity (250+ minutes a month)

        • oswade on 07/01/2016 - 22:21

          @hamwhisperer:

          Agreed. The strange thing to me is that when the signal returns it's great again.

          I'm still holding off moving. I find that there is a benefit to being on telstra when in crowded events (e.g. nye) you can actually use your phone unlike optus and voda.

          It's just really annoying.

          If i did move I think i'd go for an optus 4g reseller. This deal is kinda tempting.

          What I meant is that at this stage Jeenee Mobile does not allow international calls. We are in the process of changing this and will allow international calls and roaming available early in the new year.

          When we do make this available, we are not intending to make international calls a part of the included call allowance available within the plans (ie - international calls will not be part of the 300 minutes of calls available in the $18 Pennywise plan).

        As a past customer of Vaya (4 accounts, more if you include liveconnected) and a current Jeenee customer (1 account, used to be 2 but moved one as needed even MORE data), I can honestly say Jeenee are in a totally different league.
        Jeenee answer their phone near instantly on a clear line with a competent staff member who knows their products and can achieve things while you're on the line, emails (like my one to them this morning about a nano SIM) are normally answered within a day if not hours.
        90% of emails to Vaya disappear into a black hole, if they eventually answer their phone it's a low fi VOIP line with a high chance of cut off and a staff member who can't help you.

        I cant see any vaya that gives all unlimited plus 2.5gb at $27. Also even if you are saving $2 a months it means you get 12 months value instead of 11 with vaya. I don't think it's bad. Vaya had bad customer feedback plus jeene is non profit… Just a shame I'm still with lebara for a while as I bought vouchers, but if you can't be bothered moving around this jeene is the cheapest 2.5gb

          @watwatwat: well so you are paying $27 for vaya 2.5gb but no unlimited sms/calls. Please if you find someone that gives you 2.5gb and all unlimited for less than $25 let me know. Sounds like your name is quite appropriate watwatwat.

    Are there any restrictions on access to Optus' network? Like are there any 4G frequencies excluded for example?

      Unlike Telstra, I believe Optus don't restrict network usage for MVNOs on a per-frequency basis. With Jeenee, you should get all 4G frequencies offered by Optus.

        Cool, thanks!

    If I'm porting my number across when does the billing period start, is it when I activate the sim or is it when I order online?

    Also if it is when I activate the sim can I order a sim now and activate it just before the end of January and this will be when the billing period begins?

    Thanks :)

    • fozzie on 18/12/2015 - 18:13

      I was reading whirlpool it starts when they ship sim :(

      • indium on 18/12/2015 - 18:19

        Hmmm that would actually benefit me since I'll be overseas until the 5th of Feb so purchasing on 31st of Jan would suit me.

        Found this on their website, it seems you are right yet the conditions of this offer says "Services must be activated before 31st Jan 2016." So it seems regardless of if the sim has been activated the billing would continue but I hope they don't cancel the service because the sim hasn't been activated.

        When does my billing cycle start?

        Your billing will commence when your service is added to your account. It is important that when you receive your package that you call >Jeenee Mobile on 1300 054 631 (8am – 6pm AEDT Monday to Friday) to activate your service.

    beats vaya by 300mb.. better than nothing i suppose

    • fozzie on 18/12/2015 - 18:03

      Yes but also 300 minutes might work better than $650 depending on usage.
      Anyway vaya has very bad customer feedback

    I am with dodo prepaid i spend $10/month for 1gb of data and $50/6month for $50 credit.. Should i swap to jeenee?? I had no problems with dodo.. I am light user with sms and call but heavy usage with the internet.. Dodo charges per mb and no personal hotspot for ios.. Would there be personal hotspot for jeenee on ios?? What would you guys think?? To join jeenee or no??

      Not clear how much do you spend?

      • Steptoe on 19/12/2015 - 15:25

        $18.33 per month?

        • fozzie on 19/12/2015 - 15:51

          If he spends $18.33 I reckon jeenee is better value as 1.8gb and tethering allowed. So spends less and more perks.

        • Steptoe on 19/12/2015 - 16:06

          @fozzie:

          Fair assessment

          $10/month for 1gb of data… heavy usage with the internet

          With 1.8GB there's gonna be some extreme usage

        • fozzie on 20/12/2015 - 01:26

          @Steptoe:whop whop

        • fritzsticker on 22/12/2015 - 01:02

          @fozzie:

    Is data per kb like vaya is now?

    Update… found it.

    Data will be counted in kilobytes, and includes both uploads and downloads. After you’ve used your included data allowance, each megabyte of excess data within Australia costs $0.04/MB.

    Next question, do Jeenee usually grandfather plans or force customers over to new plans and pricing?

    P.s. I'm a TPG customer looking to move.
