    So those on the $18 plan purchased before May don't get the upgrade?

    • Store RepJeenee Mobile @ Jeenee Mobile on 01/06/2016 - 16:57

      The upgrade relates to the $18 Pennywise Essentials plan only (the one with 200 minutes of voice calls). The earlier $18 plan had 300 minutes of voice included.

      If you are on the older plan then you can certainly upgrade to this plan at the start of your next billing cycle - you will need to contact us to arrange this (it just won't happen automatically).

      What's the "life of your plan" given these are month to month plans? Is it until you decide to switch plans or go to another provider?

      • suicine94 on 02/06/2016 - 08:59

        no, it's until your month is up since the life of your plan is 1 month. Store rep might like to clarify

      • tonester on 05/06/2016 - 12:55

        i assume it's as long as you stay on it and don't change - but check with jeenee to confirm :)

      So if we choose option 3, we get 400 minutes AND 2.2gb for the life of our plan too? Or after 3 months, do we then have to choose between data or minutes? If the former, that's just awesome

    I've been on the $18 Pennywise plan since Jan and have been quite happy with the service. I had to call support initially when I ported my number in (from a Telstra corporate account), but it was a very refreshing experience talking to someone actually knowledgeable, and who was obviously located in Australia as it didn't sound like they were talking through a tin can.

    I've put a few family members on to these guys and they have nothing but awesome stuff to say about them. Data measured by the kb, no contract, call-centre based here in Oz, knowledgeable operators who dont up-sell shit and just fix your problem instead, no enforced late fees for late bill payment/forgetting, courtesy reminders for data usage through the month (50%/70%/80%/etc..), excellent Optus 4G coverage, MMS/1300/1800 numbers no additional cost, free voicemail & retrieval, no invoice fee, no change of plan fee, no cancellation fees.

    Also, from memory, the $10 set-up fee was pretty much because they express posted the sim-card/etc… via courier?

        The family I have on Jeenee all simply pay via BPAY from their bank accounts online, once they receive the monthly invoice in their e-mail. No direct debit or anything like that. Pretty sure you can pay bills over the phone though as well.

        • phantom on 26/06/2016 - 11:32

      Once your data is used up you will need to opt for more data which comes with the 4c/MB charge.

      Automatic Barring

      Once you pass 100% of included value usage we will automatically bar you on the network to prevent you from incurring further expense. We will also call you to inform you of this restriction and to ask you what you would like to do. After all, it's your Jeenee Mobile service and your choice. We want to provide you with as much information as possible so that you can make an informed choice about your spending with Jeenee Mobile.

        Actually, looks like although they bar your service there may possibly be a delay and any excess data will be charged at 4c/MB. However data packs are available for 1GB ($10) or 2.5 GB ($20) which can be applied before or after your service has been barred.

        Excess data charges are 4c per MB. In order to prevent bill shock, data usage will be automatically barred when you reach 100% of your allowance. This barring may take up to 48 hours to take effect, so it’s important that you slow down on your usage when you are nearing your limit to avoid any excess data charges. Data packs are available can be purchased at $10 for 1GB or $20 for 2.5GB to increase your data allowance for the month.

      • [Deactivated] on 02/06/2016 - 19:39

        Could you elaborate a little? Are you saying you've experienced the opposite (positive) or have you simply not had to contact support/etc?

        The billing system I assume differs for direct debit (well, you wouldn't exactly receive bills)…

        Customer service is only problematic if you are required to contact them for support.

        It's a fact they start charging you from 3 days after you order the sim - no matter of delivery or activation time. Assuming you got your sim in 1-2 days, you wouldn't experience any problem with this either.

        With the debit being setup without my permission (I provided the bank statement as ID, not for any other reason) I believe this was simply an employee mistake rather than common practice, though it still outlines a lack of training and professionalism.

        • treeman on 02/06/2016 - 21:18

          Not my experience either.

        • [Deactivated] on 02/06/2016 - 22:28

          @treeman:

          As with John's reply above, I'm curious if you're saying you simply haven't needed to contact support/etc (therefore have had no problems), or you HAVE contacted support and they were helpful in your case.

          To simplify things, here's some yes/no questions:

          Have you contacted email support?
          (if yes) what were the reply times like?
          Have you contacted customer service via phone?
          (if yes) were they helpful and understanding?
          Did your billing cycle begin 3days after placing your order?
          Have you tried cancelling your service?
          (If yes) was it an easy process to cancel your service?

          Edit:
          Quote from a support email:

          Your billing cycle began on the 17/03/2016 and was activated 23/03/2016.

          This shows they can see the exact date you activate your service, though they still bill you from the date it's sent out. In my case the difference was 6 days, 1/5th of a billing cycle (~$3.6). It's not much, though it's still a business tactic I don't overly approve of, especially when they charge a $10 sim fee already. It's a free $13.60 in their pocket before you even activate the service.

        • treeman on 03/06/2016 - 19:55

          @dyl:

          Never contacted email support.

          Contacted customer service via phone 5 times. Each time helpful and responded to my request. Waited approximately 5 to 10 minutes each time ringing at different times of the day.

          I'm not sure when my billing cycle started, I didn't look, I think it may have started when they sent the sim out, I then activated like a week later.

          I didn't try cancelling my service.

        • Doggiie on 03/06/2016 - 22:04

          @dyl: From memory on their terms it stated that your billing cycle starts when they dispatched. You should have read it before buying it.

          Plus the poor service was due to the previous deal which had the problem of being OzBargained, that's why wait times were long for both call and email.

          Their call centre is local, so it's easier to talk to them and they were definitely friendly.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/06/2016 - 22:59

          @treeman:

          That's not as bad then, still a little wrong that bilking starts when they send out the sim though.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/06/2016 - 23:07

          @Doggiie:

          Consumer law > terms.
          As I can't access the service, I don't legally have to pay for it at that stage. Its literally taking customers money relying on how most won't call up requesting it to be changed.

          I purchased my sim in around March, not sure if there was any deals then.

          Call center was friendly, just not overly helpful. They also signed me up to a direct debit with bank details I provided as ID (NOT for direct debit) without notifying me at all. They're either meant to be trained in to financial services or reading from a script wrote by someone who is trained, they evidently weren't either. From a financial services point of view, its an absolute nightmare having an employee sign someone up to something like this without permission - it's an absolute compliance failure.

  • jeppikah on 02/06/2016 - 15:23

    I'm an existing customer who just called up Jeenee. Existing customers are eligible for all 3 plans, including the bonus data + minutes with the 3 month contract. However, the bonus data + minutes plan has a technical issue where they are currently unable to sign you up for that plan today and they anticipate that it will be fixed tomorrow. The other two plans seem to be fine if you call up today. Not sure if this issue is just with existing customers changing plans or all new customers as well. Save calling for tomorrow onwards if you are an existing customer who wants the 3 month contract.

    • spal on 02/06/2016 - 18:34

      Well that explains it. Called them first thing in the morning and they set it up to commence effective next billing cycle. Afternoon l got a call to say they have a payment issue for the existing customers at their end and nothing to worry but the debit will go through tomorrow. First time in my life I had a customer service call me on their own, that too for something as trivial. I'm impressed.
