      Please refrain from making statements of unreliable and misleading, please read the offer on the delivery terms, I have provided the link below again for your convenience and I have quoted the terms under which you were clearly informed

      http://www.suredeal.com.au/all-deals/deal/2704

      Please allow 10 business days from redemption date for your item to be shipped

      Nowhere did we tell you or advise to anybody that they would 'receive' the sim card within a certain time frame. We guaranteed a time of dispatch. Every approved application has been dispatched exactly on time.

      ***Statement seems to have been removed.

      • joannatan on 17/08/2012 - 16:11

        edited by smartbuyer that not reading the term and condition :)

        • smartbuyer on 17/08/2012 - 16:45

          Actually edited because I did not want to cause an issue anymore. I did read the terms and conditions, but was also actually told in an email reply that it would take 'up to 10 business days' to receive, not just that it would be dispatched within 10 days. It has been 12 business days and I am still waiting. I have even contacted Australia Post and was told by them that there is nothing they can do for me as well as I was not given a tracking number.

        • joannatan on 18/08/2012 - 02:08

          you are counting 12 business day from the redemption date that the company set?
          just tell us what date that you redeem your voucher.

    Sure telcom rejected my applications for other 2 vouchers (I bought 3) because they suspected I wanted to use for myself!

    I'm unable to leave a negative comment for this deal as I'm new to OzBargain. I've really had a bad experience with these guys. Purcahsed two sim one for myself and other for my wife. Rep denied to activate my wife's sim card claiming that i will use it. This is ridiculously stupid. Moreover very arrogant over phone. Do not trust these guys.

    • joannatan on 10/09/2012 - 16:32

      so why they allow you to purchase in the first place? weird

      • digijagan on 11/09/2012 - 16:16

    Received an email today from Sure Telecom renegging on this deal.

    They advise that they will only honour the first in the series of any vouchers purchased in a multiple buy. Sims already issued and activated will be honoured but unactivated Sims will be voided. A request must be made for a refund of the amounts paid for unredeemed vouchers. Voided Sims must be returned before a refund will be given.

    Looking back over the comments posted, this deal was ill conceived and and poorly communicated from the outset. If there is an "OzBargain Hall of Shame I'd like to nominate this deal for induction.

      Do you think it would be worth submitting a Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) complaint? I couldn't find anything in their terms and conditions that they could just pull the deal and not offer the service that was advertised, or could they?

      Interesting each complaint to the TIO cost the company $32 (http://www.tio.com.au/members/billing-and-payments)

      • neil on 12/09/2012 - 20:53

        I would be asking for a post paid envelope to send it back or a refund of $2 + postage ($.60?) otherwise you will contact the TIO. They should be sensible enough to do that.

      • joannatan on 14/09/2012 - 01:48

        This is the email that I got:
        Dear Customers

        Due to circumstances surrounding the SureDeal offer, Sure Telecom has decided to terminate all vouchers over and above 1 per person, it is the consumers perception that they can use 3 vouchers for themselves over a 3 month period and therefore receive 3 months of Unlimited usage for $6. This is of great concern and is causing conflict between staff and consumers.

        In view of continuing great relationships with consumers, we have terminated the remaining vouchers ending in -2 -3 -4 -5 -6. All vouchers ending in -1 and all vouchers that have already been successfully redeemed will be honoured, however, if you have already redeemed more than one voucher and received the sim cards, any attempt to activate 1 sim card after another month after month will deem the voucher/sim card void. We do realise that there are a select few consumers that may not have attempted redemption of vouchers in this way and we apologies for the termination of remaining vouchers.

        To obtain a refund of an unused voucher

        Please go to www.suretelecom.com.au and complete the refund request form under the Terms & Conditions.

        To obtain a refund of an unused sim card

        Please return the sim card, go to www.suretelecom.com.au and complete the refund request form under the Terms & Conditions. Only once we have received the sim card, we will release the refund.

        Although this matter has occurred there are still many thousands of customers of whom have enjoyed the use of our offer successfully and we thank you for signing with our company.

        Kind regards

      have you ever call their call centre, then you know the owner of this company. if you dealing international business with this people, even you have formal agreement, in place, they still want to negotiate the final price that they agree, so don't get surprise if they don't honor their word, it is common within their community :)

    I've had the same problems others have had. These guys are a scamming bunch of jokes!!

    If I knew how to change my positive vote to a negative vote, I would do so.

    We have spoken to the ACCC and TIO and the following has been advised:

    Basically we have written them a demand letter via email outlining what restitution we would like.

    "I hearby demand that you activate the service forthwith, otherwise you will be in contravention of the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 for misleading and deceptive conduct. Failure to comply will result in further action."

    I suggest others burnt by these guys do the same. We don't need operators like this lot in Australia.

    • Moderatorneil on 14/09/2012 - 17:34

      You can't change your positive to a negative vote but you can retract your positive vote. Go to the Votes tab at the top of the page and revoke your vote from there.

    Burnt! Ordered 2 SIMs - using 2 vouchers that I purchased under my suredeal account.
    Received one - did not receive the other (>20 days) and called up Sure Telecom today.
    Same reason - can't send 2 separate SIMs, even though I requested the SIMs under different names -my wife and me.
    Rep was courteous, but adamant that he could do nothing about it as his managers were responsible for this decision. There were no managers on site to speak to unfortunately (at 2 PM on a work day!).
    He said an email had been sent advising me about the decision - definitely didn't receive any such email.
    Refused to activate my SIM in my wife's name.
    I'll request a refund for both SIMs as I don't approve of their business practises.

    "In order to prevent abuse of the promo, Sure Telecom management has decided that only ONE voucher will be honored for redemption. If a customer has bought multiple vouchers, a refund will be issued for the unclaimed vouchers.

    Suredeal is already working on processing the refunds to all the unclaimed vouchers due to this reason.

    Thank you very much."

    The plan was to move to SureTel after our (Wife and I) current vodafone contract was up at the end of the month.
    Wish they had informed me earlier so I could make other plans. Will go check that Amasim deal now.

    Here is the email I received last night from SureDeal regarding unused sim cards from SureTelecom. How arrogant SureDeal. How they are going to conduct business in future with such brains? Just read the letter. Only fools can write to their customers in such a rude manner using a language and saying - naughty naughty!!
    Suredeal Team you are scammers and useless bunch of people - a real joke in the world of business that will go no where with manners like these. Go and get some customer service training.

    Dear Valued Customer

    Recently, you may have received an email from Sure Telecom to let you know that they will no longer be honouring additional SUREdeal vouchers (ie. additional means more than one SIM/voucher per person).
    urt
    Sure Telecom made this decision after some buyers attempted to redeem multiple vouchers consecutively in order to get more than one month of Unlimited usage – naughty naughty!

    All vouchers ending in -1 and all vouchers that have already been successfully activated will still be honoured.

    Any voucher ending in -2, -3, -4, -5, or -6 will not be honoured by Sure Telecom and any unactivated SIM cards that may have already been redeemed from these vouchers will be voided by Sure Telecom.

    The good news is that Sure Telecom will be refunding you for any unactivated SIM cards or vouchers. To claim your refund, simply follow these steps:

    1.  Go to http://www.suretelecom.com.au/attachments/Refund_Request_For…

    2.  Complete your details (insert your SUREdeal voucher numbers)

    3.  Email the form to: [email protected]

    *If you are requesting a refund for an unactivated SIM card that you have in your possession, please complete the form and you will receive details on returning the SIM from: [email protected]

    While it was not SUREdeal’s decision to cancel these vouchers we are very sorry for any inconvenience this decision by Sure Telecom may have caused you – especially to those members who were doing the right thing and only redeeming one voucher per person as per the terms of the offer.

    Unfortunately, this transaction cannot be refunded directly by SUREdeal but if you have any questions about the refund process or the progress of your submitted refund request, you can contact Sure Telecom directly at: [email protected] or on: 1300 987 132.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Kind regards,
    Team SUREdeal

    SureTelecom's refund form has the following notice in the signature panel. It tries to strip me of my consumer protection rights. Should I sign the form and get my money back?

    You agree that the determination made by Sure Telecom is final and binding upon the resolution provided.

    What is the amount of refund I should claim? $2 for the SureDeal voucher, or $40 face value of the mobile plan?

    • joannatan on 15/10/2012 - 17:42

      omg, the scam you and you try to scam them back hahaha

  • retiredfeline on 17/10/2012 - 07:45

    Activated on Sunday and am using it right now. Works fine, Optus quality reception, etc. so no complaints there. Not for $2 for sure.

    On the form I asked for a port from an old number of mine but they gave me a new number. Not very customer oriented to ignore that part of the instructions. Somebody attended to the form data manually and wrote me that by email. That and the non-HTTPS form are signs to me they are not serious about Internet trading. I don't see how they can compete against better offers on the market especially if they don't handle automated registration and activation professionally.

  • joannatan on 17/10/2012 - 11:14

    anyone know if you need to call them after 30 days to deactivate the service or the service will stop automatically?

  • daver on 23/10/2012 - 08:56

    suretelecom on 26/07/2012 - 14:25 ¶

    -> since its a prepaid how long will your number last after the 30th day (if you don't recharge)? 90 DAYS
    -> free port out/in YES

    It took at least one week to see my mobile number on the application form finally ported; which felt rather slow… however, this has worked out compared to the worst I tried in 2012 i.e. to name Redbull->dodo.

    I can confirm ST may offer satisfactory help based on my correspondence with support. I also can not fault any product that boasts simply charged 3G data, and generally, this must be welcome.

    Meanwhile, I hold a view of data being more valuable than calls, and am less likely to stay on as a regular top up customer. I.e. for some $22.60/mo saving by selecting 'woolies recharge' I'd cede maybe 0.67 GB of DL/mo (~3.33GB vs 4GB), therefore to me, this still presents a greater return on investment.
    ($17.40 vs $40.00)
