          @rob359: Once again, Amaysim's plans that offer unlimited international calls start from $30… I still don't see how it applies to this deal.

          @currentfad: I've asked a question to StoreRep OP if they offer unlimited international calling (I didn't tie my question down to advertised plan). I'm expecting it to be at an added cost.

        • illumination on 14/11/2017 - 15:08

          @currentfad: I think it's a fair question.

          As rob359 pointed out, it's not a question necessarily in relation to this deal.

          If he was expecting it to be $10/mth ongoing though, I think you asking what world he's dreaming in is also very fair lol.

      Haha, nice one.

      Although you could argue if you keep it for 2 years, then you've "paid" 25 billing cycles for 24 months of service as opposed to 13 billing cycles (a la 28 day expiry) for 12 months of service.

    • Matslurpee on 14/11/2017 - 15:26

      Yeah, this extra charge is bullshit.

      • Caped Baldy on 14/11/2017 - 16:00

        To be fair for someone staying long term it's a better deal than the 13 cycles in a year less the ~1 gig of data.

        • illumination on 14/11/2017 - 16:08

          Yep but you worded it better/shorter!

        • peterpeterpumpkin on 14/11/2017 - 16:51

          I think the criticism is more so in showcasing "no contract" as a feature to a change-like-the-wind OzBargainer when the competition is already providing similar deals over 28 days. As a speculator you'd be betting against services increasing in provisions in 12 months time. If you lose your gamble and switch to a new provider in 3 months you'll lose even more as a percentage than the 13 month cycle (e.g. if the next $3 a month Groupon deal comes along).

          But this is Australia where progress has gone backwards before. The reason it looks like a Live Connected style middle finger is less likely is because calls and SMSs are no longer part of the race and there are much more MVNOs these days.

    • tonydav on 14/11/2017 - 16:34

      They had me until I saw this. Was going to move my daughter from ovo for the unlimited calls. Rest is the same.

      • turbodude on 14/11/2017 - 17:55

        Amaysim now does unlimited calls/sms with 1GB for $10 but has a 28day rather than full month billing cycle https://www.amaysim.com.au/plans/mobile-plans/unlimited-xsma…

      • shaybisc on 14/11/2017 - 18:03

        The reason I left Ovo was because 1300 and 1800 calls were not free- have they fixed that?

        • peterpeterpumpkin on 14/11/2017 - 20:53

          Damn. I never realised. Ovo themselves use a 13 number…

          Apparently still charge on the small plans…
          https://ovo.com.au/pricing

          Amaysim and their evil 28 day scam don't look so bad anymore (seeing you can roam internationally). I might be forced to stay when my Groupon 6 month deal expires…

    • Sunshines bright on 14/11/2017 - 18:34

      • henrus on 14/11/2017 - 22:40

        It would be nice to have roaming which just allows texts or receiving calls. The standard Optus Zone 1 rates aren't that expensive anymore $1 per minute for calls and 50c per text.

          +4

          It can be either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on where someone lives. If someone spends most of their time in an area that has coverage from one network but not the other, then it would be pointless to get the one that won't work for them, regardless of how much data it includes.

        • illumination on 14/11/2017 - 16:38

          @kurisu: That's logical.

      lowest unlimited is aldimobile, $15 with 500m data.

    • shaybisc on 14/11/2017 - 18:06

      There is no similar deal, price wise, on Telstra. You pay a 50% Telstra premium on everything that I have looked at. Unless you live 100km beyond the Black stump or visit relatives who do it's not worth it.

      • mr626 on 14/11/2017 - 20:58

        So, I'm already on Aldi's $15/m plan, which suits me well. Would just like the extra data (although less of an issue with the data rollover now)

        lycamobile (not lycra, lol) do appear to have a $10/m plan that includes 1GB data, and they use the Telstra network:

        http://www.lycamobile.com.au/sysimages/mediamanager/CIS%20-%… (PDF)

        So, cheaper than Aldi and double the data. Unless I'm missing something?

        But, Lyca don't have data roll-over, and don't have their own app.

      • henrus on 14/11/2017 - 23:06
        +1

        No they don't…

        Soft Cap is where you're slowed after using your allowance (like Belong Mobile slows to 64kbps)

        Hard Cap is where your service is shut off after using all included data (like Kogan Mobile)

        then you've got everyone else who just keeps billing…

        For Jeenee it's $6.50 per 500mb (so $13 per GB) but only for the first 5x 500mb's then it's $0.02 per MB (which works out at $20 per GB).

  • shaybisc on 14/11/2017 - 18:15

    With Jeenee, I have had to call them 5 times and on 4 of those occasions the wait was over 30 minutes.

    And the reason I had to ring so often is that you can't do routine account admin like change payment method or contact number online.

    And after you have waited 30+ minutes to change something like payment method, and have had them read the details back to you so you know they've got it, be prepared for another 30+ minute wait the following week, because it hasn't been actioned.

    Interestingly, the only time I got a shorter pickup- 15 minutes- and competence- what I rang to do was done, first time- a woman answered the phone.

    The other 4 times a man answered the phone- 30+ minute wait for incompetence.

    What happens once you reach your data limit if you have automatic data top ups turned off? On the website it says that there can be up to a 24 hour delay between reaching the limit and Jeenee restricting the data, and that any data used in that time will be charged at the applicable rate according to the CIS. I couldnt find the rate in the CIS..

    You can download a lot of data on 4G in 24 hours… what is the applicable rate, and how likely is it that it will take up to 24 hours to restrict the data?

    Basically, how kid-proof is it?

    How easy is it to track your data usage? Is there an app? Is it updated in real time or 24 hours delay?

    If the answers to these questions are favourable, I'll be on board :)

    • hugamuga on 14/11/2017 - 22:51

      I am on the 9.90x12 plan an hit my data limit last month (and have top ups off), they charged me an extra 55c for going 32mb over…
      my phone tracks my usage, apparently there is also an app for tracking usage but I haven't been bothered downloading it.
      also you might be able to lock usage on your phone, I know the option exists on mine.

  • techboy on 15/11/2017 - 17:29

    If you purchase one and say you want to port you number, what happens?
    Do you wait for your sim to arrive and then activate it and port it and the billing cycle starts then?
    Or do they start the billing cycle from when they snail mail it to you and you loose 7-10 days…

  • desertspur on 15/11/2017 - 18:20

    Still no update on their website if you wish to change plan to this new $9.90 plan. Online they offer the option with only the old data allowance.

  • techboy on 17/11/2017 - 08:12

    Be careful if you go over the limit with data top up turned off.
    My son went over in September and they stopped the Internet (good!), but then they forgot to turn it back on at the next cycle (bad), only found out recently as he started to complain that it was taking a while….

  • hazzad on 02/12/2017 - 09:45

    Looked today and seems new upgrade plans are available to existing subs. Oddly though when i go to upgrade it tells me there is a 90 cent difference in my plan even though im pretty sure im already paying 9.90/month and going to a 9.90/month plan. Anyone else confirm what this is about? Or just some sort of wierd billing anomaly when moving plans?

  • jelko on 16/12/2017 - 13:53

    Does anybody know how long porting usually takes? I initiated a port on Wednesday night from Aldi (pre-paid) to Jeenee via Jeenee's online form but as of Saturday morning the Aldi sim is still working.

    • jelko on 23/12/2017 - 23:58

      Took over a week for the porting to occur. That's the longest I've ever experienced.
