      Very easy to do, let's assume you're able to download at 1MB/s.
      That's just under 86GB/day at full choke.

        Your not going to get 1MB/sec on 3g. You'd be doing well if you got a third of that (~350KB/ sec).

        Can you really get that sort of speed? Back when I only had access to 3G, I don't think I've ever gotten speeds that fast. I would assume it's even worse now since there are a lot more people using it.

        @Bob81: HSPA+ is capable of 21 Mbps-down 5.76 Mbps-up
        21 Mbps = 2.625 MB/s so in theory more than double

  I was seriously thinking about to move to you guys until I saw a slightly hidden T&C "Customers can remain connected on a Mammoth Unlimited Talk and Text Plan for a maximum period of 12-months at which time, the service must be moved to an alternative plan.".
  I've to say that you just lost me forever now that you thought you could do such a thing…

    This is not something that they want to be the case, and in 12 months there will undoubtedly be a better plan for you to move to. It's not bait-and-switch.

    3G is useless for many people.

    This only suits people who are ok with waiting 30 seconds to load one page or live in a 3G only area.

      I don't really see the problem with 15 Mbps. The 4G plans also look like excellent value.

        It doesn't work like that.

        The actual speed of 3G is very low and very congested.

        Again.. it can literally take 30 seconds to load a page with 3G, that's just the reality of it.

        Yes its possible to be near the tower and not in a congested area and get decent speeds, but you won't most of the time.

        Thats why 4G isn't a luxury, its basically needed to have decent Internet on a phone.

        Again, its all about real speeds in different areas, 3G performs very poorly overall.

        Just because you are in a spot that performs well, it doesn't mean 3G is any good.

  despite this being a non contract no commitment prepay service

  Jeenee had the gall to conduct a credit check on you, which stays on your credit file for 2 years and affects future credit application for other more worthy purposes where credit check is much more needed.

  This should be highlighted in BOLD letters. Unlike your normal prepaid service where no credit check is required this mob checks to see if you have paid all your bills on time in case you run away after prepaying for the month in advance. And they have nothing to lose anyways, you already prepaid in advance so why the credit check I don't understand. You can cancel service anytime you wish plus Jeenee does not subsidise any handset or hardware.

  Very sneaky and evasive. Wonder what TIO thinks of prepaid service providers doing credit checks on customers on plans that are prepaid in advance and can be cancel at anytime without any penalties.

    Jeenee is a postpaid provider. The minimum monthly charge is paid in advance, however, unlike a prepaid service, there is still the possibility that a customer can exceed their monthly minimum by exceeding the inclusions in the plan. In these circumstances we are providing credit to customers and this is why we perform a credit check. The alternative is to charge a security deposit (which has been done by other postpaid providers in the past). This would mean that every customer is treated in the same manner (ie - as a credit risk). We prefer not to treat our customers this way and that is why we perform credit checks.

    • 

      paloverde88 on 23/12/2016 - 15:43

      I wonder how the big players in the market is able to run a prepay service successfully doing everything jeenee does without performing a credit check that stays on the customer credit file for 2 years making their credit file look negative. (All credit checks count against you) Jeenee have the ability to limit the amount you spend within what you pay and when you exceed you simply cannot use so you can recharge, Just like a normal prepay service that Telstra Optus or Vodafone provides.

      Sounds like jeenee encourages over spend as they can limit the amount you use up to what you pay like all prepay services but choose not to. And by virtue of that, they justify checking your private credit details.

      Asking money up front and then pretending you are a post paid service is deceptive. You are either a credit provider or you are not a credit provider. Credit providers never ask for money up front like you do. That's why it's call providing credit because you pay nothing up front. Yet you want money up front. There's no halfs halfs or partial credit provider who want money up front in advance and then say "oh we still give you credit in case you go over, but only if you go over and we are going to assume you do, so credit check it is.

        @Lizard Spock:

        You're missing the point here, they just replied to me saying they do provide credit that's is why they can blemish your credit history for 2 years with their credit check and yet you say they block you when you hit the limit. So which is which? Are they a credit provider or not? It is illegal to access people's credit files when you do not provide any credit that you say you do. It sounds like they did not provide any credit to you at all and I hope for your sake, they did not do a credit check on you too.

        @paloverde88: As stated previously, we are a postpaid provider. We take the issue of bill shock very seriously and offer our customers the choice to have their services barred when they reach 100% usage. This is up to our customers. Some people really appreciate the fact that we try to actively limit their overspend. Others prefer not to have their service barred when they reach 100% of their included value - in which case they continue on using their service at the published excess call or data rates. It is up to the customer. In this case the customer is being provided credit by Jeenee - and this is why we perform a credit check on potential customers. There is nothing sneaky, underhanded or illegal about this.

        @Jeenee Mobile:

        Well then practice what you preach give the customer the choice to have a credit check for seamless usage or let them control their bill payments when they reach the limit they understand they need to manually recharge just like a normal prepay service and that they do not need any credit checks.

        You also hold their credit card information for debits in advance every month so it's not as if you have zero collateral.

        And your statement does not make sense, Gas and Electricity companies also are afraid that you may go over what you use by alot, they never ask for a credit check like you do and they also never ask for money in advance like you do. A modest bond maybe but not every month they do not demand an amount in advance.Only you do and still insist on credit check.

        I follow up with TIO and ASIC or whoever is in charge of credit providers might clarify this
        There is a strict code credit providers need to stick to. If they are not providing credit but just in case the customer goes over then they start kicking in their credit provider status sounds strange. IN light of the fact that your industry is able to limit customer usage or turn off service at any time due to non payment and against a background of no contract leave anytime, I do not understand how your credit provider status hold up. You just want access to people private credit details which is not necessary for what you are providing to customers since you:
        1 demand payment in advance,
        2 store customer's credit card details,
        3 no contract in existence where customer can walk anytime.

        Credit providers never demand payment in advance, always in arrears
        Credit providers never store credit card details and charge them automatically this should be a choice, not mandatory but you made it mandatory
        Credit providers normally provide credit on contracts that customers cannot just walk away. In your case, customers can walk anytime any day

        @gummibear:

        I am of the opinion that customers may have been mislead into just letting this mob check their private credit details when really they always have the upper hand. The check is unnecessary intrusive and leaves a black mark on customer's credit history for 2 years what if you just want to try out their service for a few months? Well they ruin your credit history for 2 years for you just trying out their service for a few months. All credit checks are negative and count against you when you really need a loan you will find Jeenee's credit check is a negative.

        @paloverde88: I apologise if I have not been clear. We are a postpaid provider - not a prepaid provider. The difference is important. As a postpaid provider it is possible for our customers to use more than their included allowances (for which they are charged a minimum monthly charge) It is this minimum charge that we bill in advance. As stated previously, we try wherever possible to limit the exposure of our customers to overspending by sending usage alerts (at 50%, 70%, 85% and 100%). Furthermore, we will bar our customers at 100% (if they wish). Not everyone wants this to happen and these customers are happy to continue to spend over and above their minimum monthly charge.

        Credit management is an important part of any business, and unfortunately, like any business we have some customers who use our service and do not pay for it. We try to mitigate against this risk by asking for the minimum monthly charge to be paid in advance each month by direct debit. Incidentally, we are not the only postpaid provider to do this - some have even asked for a $20 security deposit from customers for EVERY service that a customer had with them (irrespective of the customers' credit history with them). These mitigation strategies are not always successful - credit card payments can and do fail due to insufficient funds, cancelled or lost cards and so on. We perform credit checks as a way of mitigating against this risk, and unfortunately not everyone is happy with the outcome of these checks. Every business has the right to determine which customers they will and will not provide credit to. It is as simple as that. There is nothing untoward about this policy or practice.

  Credit check already a big no no.
  Then running on Optus the new vodafail. another no no.

  Thanks but you can give all that data on Optus and you will never able to use it.

  It is a good idea for medium fix location usage though if you want to ditch you land line. But then chek if you can get VIVI first which is unlimited at this price range.

  Hi Rep,
  Interested about the 50 GB plan. But few limitations which are halting me
  - Excess data charge (not limited to 50 GB) as well as delay in data usage update
  - Billing cycle start from the time of shipping the data sim (standard delivery ~10 days)
  - 30 day notice to close the service (and probably need to call)
  Any suggestion?
