    Vodafone have gotten rid off their 10 countries unlimited calls just over 2 weeks ago I believe. Its 1000 minutes to selected countries and 120 to a few more countries!
    
    For someone who has the unlimited calls (like me), I dont think I would make over 1000 minutes (16hours of talk time) of calls a month anyway!
- Chall5 on 03/08/2016 - 15:10
  
  match Vodafone's "90 standard international minutes to selected countries." and you may well have my business

Nice! Optus! I'm currently with optus at 18gigs for $100 per month… Why now Ovo!!! Optus 4G is phenomenal too! Can't say for everyone but I do easily get faster than NBN speeds.
ichimoku on 03/08/2016 - 13:04

any chance of a higher tablet plan? ie. $70/month for 75GB data? I'll be first to hop on.

quick q. If i put this on a mobile and tether across other home devices - i don't suppose there's any issue here? though i should really look at a dongle - yes.
- Associatedlandog @ OVO Mobile on 03/08/2016 - 13:10
  
  thanks for the feedback - will channel into our marketing folks.
  
  No problems with tethering, but as you say better if you get a purpose built mobile broadband device.

100gb data sim on month to month at a reasonable price…….

Not being locked into a 24 month contract, no set up (modem or line connection) fees and no long waiting period for connection.

How does my plans compare with this:

I sit here with my $18 plan, and 1.5GB Data
$24.95 2GB, UNLIMITED CALLS & SMS in OZ
$34.95 8GB, UNLIMITED CALLS & SMS in OZ
I sit here: $40 for 10GB and unlimited calls + $300 international calls.
$44.95 12 GB, UNLIMITED CALLS & SMS in OZ

Data SIM's:
And here again with $9 for 1GB data only.
$29.95 13GB
$44.95 25GB
$59.95 50GB

It's a no-go for me then.

Just signed up. Regularly using over 30gb with telstra so this plan is a god send. Only issue I have with it is I have already been charged and I haven't even gotten my SIM yet. So am I being charged for a few days usage without being able to use it?

Also do we have any means of checking data usage?
- Associatedlandog @ OVO Mobile on 03/08/2016 - 15:45

  The first 30 days starts from when you activate. So nope no days wasted.
  
  You certainly can. Once activated log into the My Account. The login is on the top right of Ovo.com.au

I think you should change the name of the "Tablet" plan to "Data" plan. Tablet seems to be confusing too many people. Doesn't help that Telstra have/had some iPad only plans.

Sound like you should offer a 100GB data plan (or $99 data plan), although I am not sure how much better price per GB could be done compared to your current 50GB plan.

Now I just hope those extra pending charges from the failed orders go away.

    Reminds me of when Telstra somehow managed to add someone else's home broadband to my mobile account and then switched my account to his name (keeping my login details). That was a "fun" one to sort out. Actually, I think they're still using his name in emails but I'm too lazy to try to get them to fix that.
    
    Your site's holding up pretty well to the traffic, actually. It's not gone down completely! I suppose my main concern is what cleanup I'll need to do later - do I need to come back and fix up my info, etc..
