    Get upto 5 extra sims as gifts - but only 1 can be redeemed per person

    • ccrap on 24/07/2012 - 19:54

      No, you can't activate them all in your name. From the conditions on the site:

      • Limit of one voucher redeemable per person
      • Available for new connections only

      Nothing stopping you from activating under family member names. However note that all vouchers need to be redeemed within 3 months, so at most you can have 3 months unlimited for $6.

      Edit: you ninja edited your question into an answered statement while I was typing the reply :P

      Yeah they really need a PayPal option. Kills two birds with one stone - 1) you know for sure when you're being billed because you initiate it, and 2) enforces HTTPS so solves the security concerns.

    • bargain_knight on 25/07/2012 - 12:17

      Why is Paypal safer than a credit card? In Australia credit card providers, give you exactly the same fraud protection as Paypal. It is legislated.

  • Splashtash on 24/07/2012 - 20:08

    sounds ok, i might grab one or 2 but the only thing im thinking of is the payment method….. if u use credit card or some form like that will they automatically charge u the next months fee without asking u?

    • retiredfeline on 24/07/2012 - 20:10

      Don't think so, you haven't registered for a service yet, that comes when you redeem the voucher. All you get at this time is an electronic voucher which has to be redeemed before 31/10.

  • retiredfeline on 24/07/2012 - 20:15

    Also a question for the rep, when we redeem the voucher when does the 30 days start ticking? From the time we register the SIM online and choose or port a number? So actually there will be a few days delay between redeeming the voucher and getting the SIM in the mail?

    • Splashtash on 24/07/2012 - 20:17

      its in the terms on there buddy……

  • Splashtash on 24/07/2012 - 20:16

    I meant after u pay the $2 and wait untill that first month is up will they roll over the new month and charge u?

    • retiredfeline on 24/07/2012 - 20:22
      +2

      Looks like they could if they have your payment details. So you might have to cancel.

      Edit: It depends on whether you need to enter any card details here when you redeem the voucher:

      http://www.suretelecom.com.au/main/page_self_service_prepaid…

      Edit: Noticed a problem with that form, it submits to a HTTP page. C'mon Sure Telecom. Non-HTTPS submit links are a no-no in e-commerce. I certainly won't be filling in any card details on that form.

        I think this clearly answers your question: There are no other fees or charges and your sim card and shipping are included so all you’ll pay is a tiny $2!

        They say the $20 is for the sim, postage, and porting/connection, so unless there is a connection fee it should only be $2

        • mikeo on 24/07/2012 - 21:43

        As Sure Telecom is an honest and accountable company, we expect this also from customers.

        As you have already purchased your 30 days commitment from Suredeal, credit card details are not necessary. We would only require those details if you were purchasing directly from us for this deal. All credit card details sent by customers are held securely.

    i assume like others the deal will give us a voucher code only.
    where do we pick microSIM at the redeem voucher link == prepaid selfserve application page ??
    also where do we enter the shipping address??

    i assume (somehow) we receive the sim card +10days later,
    we then need to activate it on the activation page, that is when then 30days starts?

    lastly, the 'vouchers must be activated 3 months from 31/07/2012 '
    does this mean apply for the sim with the voucher within 3mths and activate the sim it anytime after,
    OR within 3mths to activate the sim card??

    Watch out the deal conditions and the company. I purchased a great deal like this December 2011 ($15 unlimited calls with 500+1000Mbyte data. Suretelecom couldn't provide the contract condition, dismissed 1000Mbyte bonus, excess charges, "unauthorized credit card charges", etc etc. They are using every trick in trade to take advantage of the customers. I spent 4 months to get out of company and my money via ombudsman. This deal seems also very good, but I wouldn't take it for free!!!

    • daver on 24/07/2012 - 23:46

      They can muck around with D.O.B.-mismatch 'errors' when they feel it not their worth porting a number and then fail to dispatch your starter kit accordingly. They keep your payment of course. It is unfortunate when that happens & just reaffirms the careless attitudes behind these businesses. No doubt I am increasingly cautious before I join, though in my report I am more pointing to one of either Dodo or Vodafone AU as the alleged bad apple. Sadly they exist.

          3. Will I be charged automatically on my credit card after 30 days of using the SIM card for the next month or do I have to top-up the account after 30 days to continue using the service?
          4. What will be the cost per month if we decide to continue using the service after first 30 days of usage?

    REP,

    I think this is what you really mean:

    • "Voucher must be activated within 3 months from 31/07/2012" == "Voucher must be redeemed and SIM card activated within 3 months from 31/07/2012"
    • "Sure Telecom Unlimited voucher is valid for 30 days from voucher redemption" == "Sure Telecom SIM is valid for 30 days from SIM activation", unless you want to continue and pay up.

    Is this correct? Please clarify. The language is causing a lot of confusion.

    Why cant i just simply buy it with paypal [ i know i know], get it sent to my address and use it?

    That would be simple.

    Some of these deals have all sorts of funny/tricky/suspect conditions attached and the posting company etc tries to fix them on the run.

      Maybe because they want your credit card number !!! if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and smells like a duck…..
