        Yes, but if the number was with Amaysim a month back (and now with another provider), does it work?

        • checkingthisout on 03/10/2022 - 20:39

          It should be fine, if you're not on the Amaysim MVNO plan then you're not currently a customer, you're a new customer. It won't work if your new and transfer number are both Amaysim though.

  • sicaboy on 03/10/2022 - 18:11

    Could the referral "$10 credit to both the referrer and referee." work with this offer together?

    • checkingthisout on 03/10/2022 - 18:18

      You can only use one offer at a time.

    • adnan on 03/10/2022 - 20:15

    Can I pause the renewal on this and start it again once I need more data?

    • checkingthisout on 05/10/2022 - 11:15

      No you cannot according to the chat

  • timhn on 05/10/2022 - 16:48

    So this is auto topup for $9 each 28 days?

    Say if I want to stop using it after 3 months, can I just disable auto topup? I'm plan to get it for someone from overseas to use while staying here only 3 months in Australia.

      You can cancel and it will not bill the next month, but you'll be able to use the last month you already paid for.

    Thanks Op, bought one for my Dad. I manage 5 mobile accounts for family members & all were with Belong but have been gradually porting them out now the lowest plan is $15, silly move Telstra.

    • checkingthisout on 06/10/2022 - 12:44
      +1

      Telstra and Telstra wholesale are charging too much, still roughly around the $1/GB range at best, which is just way too much.

      • Neoika on 06/10/2022 - 18:34

        I just noticed that Belong offers unlimited data with capped 1Mbps (OK for 480p video) now. Maybe the 1st Telco from Telstra.

        • checkingthisout on 06/10/2022 - 21:12

          If the speeds were 5Mbps or more then it would be ok, but 1Mbps is really only usable for last effort or last resort. But it's better than 0Mbps I guess. Vodafone does it best, 2/10/25Mbps after you use your quota.

          Telstra owns Belong, but the pricing is not that much better than Telstra direct, and you are limited to 100Mbps (Which is not that big a deal anyway) but is a weird thing.

          I really like the idea of Felix mobile, too bad the network isn't that great, but in trial in a city Felix was really good, that 20/20Mbps unlimited is a really cool idea.

          • Neoika on 06/10/2022 - 21:18

            @checkingthisout: If I remember correctly, 20+ yrs ago, home internet speed was 1-2Mbps.

            Without video streaming download, it is OK to use for me.

  • Ricky-SSS on 10/10/2022 - 01:27

    If I get this can I use it for a month then pause the renewal and restart after another month or so? Going overseas for a month and I already have a local Sim for that so I don't need this active.

    • lordra on 10/10/2022 - 08:45

      Clearly you didn't read the thread before posting.

      • Ricky-SSS on 10/10/2022 - 09:00

        I did but that is about continuing to use the rollover data without paying for a plan. I would not be using the Sim at all during this time so the answer might be different

        • checkingthisout on 10/10/2022 - 10:24

          I spoke to chat about it, although they weren't very clear, I do not think you can pause & start again with the discount still in place.

          Best to ask the chat yourself.

  • TightTerry on 10/10/2022 - 11:26

    I just received my sim in the mail today but my current monthly plan has just started - can I hold off activating this for 3 or so weeks?

    After spending a few hours trying to chat to Amaysim where they don't reply for ages and then the chat is closed, and not kept for the next time you chat necessitating explaining everything again, i rang them and was told the first month is $9 and all the subsequent months are $30, and only the 55 GB is on special, not the price.
    I referred to the special conditions re FINDER55, and even emailed it to her, she apologized, says it was confusing, but all subsequent months after the first are $30.
    I'm negging to alert everyone who wanted to stay on for 6 months, like me. Sorry

      Don't buy optus or voda - you have to pay extra to activate them.

    From Amaysim

    Hi ,
    I hope this finds you well.
    We've just tried to call on <Number that I didnt get>, however, we couldn't get through so we sent you this email instead.

    It has come to our attention that the name on your amaysim account is incomplete/invalid, therefore, we've suspended your mobile service.
    We would require you to provide us with a valid ID that would support your preferred account name. You may forward a screenshot of one of your Valid IDs so we can have it verified and be able to unsuspend your service.

    Is this normal?

  • marmot on 26/10/2022 - 18:40

    A little annoying that it's 28 days and not 30 days per monthly charge. Also they charge me and initiated the plan period upon applying, not when I received and activated the SIM! I had something like 16days remaining on the first month. Both niggles but still not worth searching for customer service and then the muck about.

    Also, they've made multiple offers of other more rubbish deals constantly since signing up.
    Next month will see if the $9 continues.

          I paid $30 this month, they issued me with $21 credit because i was only meant to pay $9.
          This means in december and January i will pay nothing, in february i will have to pay $6 and in march ill have to pay $9.

          I also deactivated my auto payment via paypal so they definitely cant take any money out next month if they make a mistake.

    Edit - So after an unecessary long back and forth and having to convince them by copy-pasting their own terms of the FINDER55 promo, I was credited $21 and they claimed it was sorted and I should be charged $9 per renewal for the remaining 4. (So initial activation counts as a renewal.)

    For anyone having similar issues with them, just be persistent. You may also need to copy-paste these promotion terms.

    idiots also charged me. About to have The Discussion.

    I dont want to hang around using up any credit as the data service sucks for one area I go to daily and need data.

    idiots.. will prob instesd port out to Aldi and hit them with a chargeback if they only iffer a credit.

    edit: online chat now . referenced the 1st invoice that clearly states the Finder exclusive terms… Use that to eliminate any confusion from Amaysim end.

    edit2: Online chat. if you reject a CREDIT they will offer to refund the $30 and charge the $9.

    edit3: they charged the $9. Strangely the $30 just disappeared from my bank transaction listing (prob as was still pending.

    Hi guys I have set it up. They are thieves. They charged me $9 on first month and charged me $30 on following month. Just because it’s auto recharge, it doesn’t mean they can cash out as much as they like from my accounts. I am going to report them to ACCC.

    They cannot overcharge and exchange for credit, it is illegal. They have to refund that is give money back. We can lodge a class action against Amaysim. They need to abide by laws. They need to lose a fortune for their wrongdoings.

    My plan is up for auto renewal in 14 days… Will see if its resolved by then.

    Activated mine on Friday and got a text saying they've restarted plan date - so I'll set a reminder for early December to contact them about renewal, hopefully they'll have sorted something automated out by then.

    Thanks everyone for posting your experiences and chat-war-logs, it all helps!
