  • Iggemo on 18/12/2015 - 18:40

    am currently still with liveconnected. if i sign up to this do u move the service over so i dont have to deal with them at all?

  • revivor on 18/12/2015 - 18:48

    I noticed in their Critical Information Summary:

    Tracking your spend
    We’ll provide you with SMS usage alerts once you’ve reached approximately:
    • 50%, 70%, 85% and 100% of your Included Value or Included Data Allowance (whichever comes first).
    • When you reach 100% of your Included Value or Included Data Allowance, if you do not contact us, an outgoing bar will be placed on your service. We do this to
    minimise the likelihood of incurring unexpectedly high bills.

    Does that mean you get stopped on making more calls/data usage?
    I don't mind on data being blocked but calls…its just like a prepaid service at $0 balance…

    • indium on 18/12/2015 - 18:51

      I think it's just for data but you could probably request it be removed even if it is for calls

      • revivor on 18/12/2015 - 18:52

        ok so you have to call them and tell them to remove the bar on just the data then but not calls?
        I would not mind if this is the case.

  • froggym on 18/12/2015 - 18:53

    Your unlimited talk is just from Jeenee to Jeenee right? Not really unlimited. It is actually really quite limited.

    Jeenee Mobile does not offer international voice calls, video calls or roaming at this time.

        I think this is for the $30 starter packs, so you won't be able to keep your number.

    Does anyone know if there is a credit card fee? Their help line said no, but their CIS says there is a 1% fee.

    Also, do Jeenee expire plans like Vaya, or will I be able to stay on these plans?

    Cheers.

    • actinium227 on 19/12/2015 - 20:27

      a confirmation of any credit card processing fee would be good, also a month recurs on the same day everymonth (1Jan, 2Feb, 3Mar, etc) or is it one of those 28/30 days expiry thing?

      • iscooljoey2 on 24/12/2015 - 12:30
        +1

        I called them and they said there was an error in the document and there are no credit card fees. They also do not remove customers from plans and apparently you can stay on the plan as long as you like.

  • Larz128 on 18/12/2015 - 23:42

    • kimba88 on 19/12/2015 - 07:56
      +3

      I think I'll also jump on this too, coming from the exact same plan at live connected. Be careful you don't port out of live connected too early. They will charge you more if you've used more than what you should have so far within the month. So don't go crazy and try and waste your live connected credit just to use it up

    • phantom on 19/12/2015 - 09:42

      what do you have to do to deal with liveconnected? I have two services on the same plan and considering jumping to this too. I didn't know we had to talk with LC to port over?

      • kimba88 on 19/12/2015 - 10:09

        I don't think you need to contact them. I only contacted them to complain about my data usage being chewed up a lot faster over the last couple of months.. But I'm using my phone less. They said if my plan no longer suits me, to go to another provider. So liveconnected don't seem to care about their customers. Been with them since 2012 and I felt that comment from them was disgusting.

      • bennib0i on 21/12/2015 - 17:26
        +1

        To Phantom and Kimba,

        Kimba is right to keep this in mind.

        If you leave / port out of LC, your new provider (ie: Jeenee) will do all the work so you don't need to contact LC at all. But LC will pro-rata your monthly allowance based on the date you leave.

        So if your monthly cycle date is 5th (next one coming up is 5th Jan 2016). And you port out of LC on the 1st. They will pro rata your allowance to 26/30 days x your allowance. So don't use up 100% of it or you'll pay for the over extra.

        Hope thats clear.

        Cheers, Ben.

      On the same 1.5gb LC $12+$10 plan freeze. Looking to move over as well.

      HOWEVER something to consider first - I spend a lot of time on Facebook, and LC seems to have some generous free FB data not included in their 1.5gb cap. I haven't found anything in Jeenee's fine print about free FB data. The amount of FB data I chew up could easily makes the 300mb difference between LC and Jeenee.

  • Iggemo on 19/12/2015 - 12:03

    how do i get off liveeonnected? can anyone who has left them let me know> thanks .. i honestly dunno how to cancel if i cannot contact a human person

      If you're looking to change provider, you can port your number over if you wish to do so. Jeenee (if you want to change your plan to this) will do all the work for you.

  • umoddbro on 19/12/2015 - 13:12

  • JoJoker on 19/12/2015 - 15:26

    Awesome, can get rid of Vaya now.

    Not liking how they don't treat existing customers with the same deals (like many companies it seems), it's like, oh yeah, let's piss off our existing customer base because like, who cares about retaining them.

    It's a shame that the alternative is Vaya.

    • wakkawalla on 19/12/2015 - 22:51

    No International roaming is a deal breaker for me, else I will switch all family mobile to these plan. Knowing that I can make emergency phone call when I need to when overseas is critical to me. Hopefully you will have roaming sorted soon.

  • CanadianBeaver on 22/12/2015 - 01:41

    so when you guys port do they start charging the moment they ship the sim out or when they complete the port/activate the service?

    • Bpang on 22/12/2015 - 16:40

      I didn't join the pennywise plans, but back when i joined. I think there's a section you can type to enter your old company's details, etc.

      I had to call up when SIM came and they ported for me then.

  • Giant Dwarf on 23/12/2015 - 09:32

    Are there excess data charges on the plans? Or they cut you off at 100%?

  • kimba88 on 24/12/2015 - 22:51

    So the question has been asked a thousand times, but not answered.. and i'd really like to know too.

    Does Jeenee start charging you as soon as they send the sim.. OR once you receive the sim and actually activate it before 31st January?

    I want to know for the reason of, i need the new year to start so i can start a new month with Liveconnected.. as this month i will go close to using up the calls/message credit due to Christmas and New Years.. then Liveconnected can refund me the correct pro-rata amount.

    • pkh on 25/12/2015 - 12:05

      Their website says they charge you as soon as they send you the SIM.

    • scrimshaw on 31/12/2015 - 14:17

      Looks like they haven't shipped mine — I had to callback and give them my credit card details and they'd be shipping after Jan 6th.

    • mrpoppy on 31/12/2015 - 14:44

      I ordered on 19th, got an SMS on 21st saying my order has been processed and the SIM will be posted 'shortly'. Still waiting. Paid the extra for express shipping.

      Starting to get annoying since I have no credit left with my current provider so can't make calls. Tried calling their phone centre - gave up after 10 minutes waiting. Sent an email - still waiting for a response after 48 hours.

      EDIT; Got through to the call centre - will be shipped next week.

  • umoddbro on 30/12/2015 - 09:52

    Do you get a shipping confirmation when they've sent it? Still haven't heard anything from them a part from the confirmation email.

    • pilchard on 05/01/2016 - 17:38

      Only an SMS 3 days after ordering, stating the order had been processed and would be sent out shortly.

  • datzed on 04/01/2016 - 10:01

    OP, am I correct in reading that the '$30 unlimited talk and text' plan is the same as the '$25 Pennywise Sim' plan, but with 1GB LESS data?

    Critical info pdf comparison below:
    https://www.jeenee.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/cis/CIS-$25_Pennywise_SIM.pdf
    https://www.jeenee.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/cis/CIS-$30_Unlimited_Talk_&_Text_SIM.pdf

    Reason I ask is, as a current TPG customer, I was going to join the $30 unlimited plan, but it seems the cheaper $25 Pennywise plan is better value*.

    *With the discount included, the $30 plan becomes $20, but I am speaking on prices after the initial 6 month discount period.

    What I don't understand is, this prepay service ask so many personal questions for granting no credit, you have to pay up front.
    They ask questions like what your occupation is how long you have been working whether you renting and how much…all for a prepay service? Stuff that could not be bothered.

          Got mine today, it was apparently sent out on Monday. According to the guy on the phone it'll take 48 hours to switch over since I'm porting my existing number from Optus.

          They say 7 days to receive sim, but its registered post, so got it within 2 (living in Melbourne suburbs)
          They said 48 hours for activation but took ~6 business hours (ported from vaya - as also on Optus, data and voicemail took another ~4 business hours)

    I paid on the 24th of december and haven't heard anything. I understand holidays slow them down but still. This is taking a long time.

    • venu on 08/01/2016 - 18:15

      I got a text saying I needed to confirm details (they couldn't trace my credit history for some reason so required direct debit to be organised before sim was sent). No email or anything else, so if you missed the text, you wouldn't know. I'd give them a call to confirm. Takes about 8-10 minutes wait on phone, but friendly call centre.

      • scrimshaw on 08/01/2016 - 18:53

        I went through that last week. Just yesterday however, I got a message telling me to call them regarding an order. They texted me

        Your order is on hold. Please call Jenee Mobile on 1300064631 to finalise your order.

        The number doesn't work, so I called their normal helpline instead and had to verbally agree to direct debit once more.

        Couple of hours later i got the SIM at Auspost.

      • froggym on 09/01/2016 - 20:19

        I recently got an email asking me to confirm my email address and then a text a day or two after that saying it would be sent soon. I'm glad it is finally coming soon. Took them long enough considering we pay the first month straight up and most of the first month was spent with me hearing absolutely nothing.

        • phantom on 11/01/2016 - 22:32

          froggym: might still be a bit of a wait, I got that text (saying it would be sent soon) before Christmas and still don't have the SIMs yet so guessing you're a couple of weeks behind that? I think they define "soon" fairly loosely…

        Called them before to ask about the status of my sim card. They said they have a back log due to the festive season, etc. Said it will be shipped this week and I will receive it next week as of today.

    • phantom on 11/01/2016 - 18:33

      Agree, this is poor. I received an SMS confirmation from them before Christmas saying they were shipping and saying what to do to activate when the SIMs arrive. 3 weeks and they haven't come.

      They charged upfront the first month's access is poor but looks like I won't even have the sims in that period. Meanwhile can hardly use current provider due pro-rata exit month and not knowing when that is going to occur.

You're not the only one frustrated by their call centre not being open during the scheduled hours, unknown delays to get a SIM - unsure when I'll get mine but looks like at least 5 weeks (it's already at a month and they haven't posted it despite sending the "about to post" SMS on 23 Dec), and email replies they say will be responded within 48 hours taking a week and then not providing response that makes any sense (saying delivery will take up to 10 business days when it has already been a month). Starting to think my previous provider was the better of the two, and I haven't even got to try Jeenee's service despite paying for the plan from a month ago.
