Thanks for letting me know.
They said to me we don't provide refunds on change of mind, sigh.
@RocketSwitch: How long ago had you purchased the sim? Mine was less than 24 hours and had not even shipped.
You can try again with another CC
@deathjr: Sunday, before the sim was shipped. Now it has shipped.
I tried with 5 others, and a call looks like they're not accepting any refunds.
They said, "We don't have to refund you."
"Neha" on the phone, utter trash customer service.
If I recall correctly, the last time I bought this — about a little over a year ago — the prepaid plan started even before I received the sim card.
Is it still the same this time?
Just say you are porting when purchasing, this avoids the sim coming already activated.
This or woolworths mobile?
Currently with woolworths mobile, enjoying the 10% off grocery but we don't really buy biiig… average savings have been $7 to $9 per month…with some planning.
In terms of use…don't need a lot of data using the second sim (boost) for data.
Of course this one. Cheapest WW mobile is $170 a year now. You can get the $60 amaysim and pay for everyday extra to get the 10% off for $59 a year totalling for $120, still much cheaper than $170..
I would say a lot of people can earn back the $50 difference through an extra monthly 10% discounted shop. Even just a $40 shop 10 times in a year would earn it back, which is minimal
The difference is not $50. If you get the $170 a year vs the $60 amaysim, it's $110!!! And $40 x 10% x 10 is $40. You need $70 more to break even. Why would you do that? And most people don't need to shop just at woolies.
@leiiv: Amaysim $60 365-day plan is 60GB. Woolworths $170 is 125GB.
If you wanted to compare them, you would need to look at the Amaysim $100 plan at least, or compare with the Woolworths Mobile $100 plan, making the difference $40-70, which again is quite easily earned back in discounts for someone who is doing regular shops.
Yup. Only $10.50 tracked for me on shopback for the 60Gb plan.
$10.5 for 180GB plan via Shopback yesterday morning before they reduced rate.
Does anyone know what happens if I still purchase the sim with the 50% discount for my existing Amaysim plan? It seems to apply the discount on the website for me even if I choose an exsiting Amaysim number. Will they just disallow me to port in? I've been told it's for new customers or a new number only, however, I can't see it's mentioned anywhere.
It says NEW mobile services only look at the website
you can port out and port in again
https://www.amaysim.com.au/plans/6-month-12-month-sim-plans/
thanks! I completely missed that. I am curious what if I still purchase anyways as it does not seem to validate if my number is an existing customer when I purchase the order?
I was unable to complete the purchase while my number was still with amaysim
@Rain Cloud: Do they lock in the number that you give them for porting?
In the past, I could always specify the number at the time of activating the SIM (if I chose the "Keep My Number" option).
@DoctorCalculon: Im not sure, I did not try to order with another phone number. When I put a number currently with amaysim (the plan was to port out then back in) when I tried to pay it kept giving me a 'transfer number failed' error.
Did anyone try this free eSim trial to port out and back to Amaysim? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/763576
I think you can only get a new number with this trial
So mine tracked at $10.50 but i did it in the morning when shopback said $35. What to do?
Take it and be happy with your bargain. Life's too short.
How long after your purchase did it take for the tracking to come through?
I purchased around 11am yesterday and got the cashback around 1am today. Same, $10.5, not $35 :(
Purchased yestrday about 10.am. Tracked about 9am this morning
Same here lol $10.5 then became $35 lol hope they wont change back to $10.5.
Manage to get 50% off for a renewal
via Chat? and will your data bank up?
Yes, via chat. Didnt get data bank up
Just purchased 60GB plan, but I purchased with my nickname, am I getting error message when I active the SIM or it will take seperate ID verification process to active the SIM?
Ps: it was purchased on credit card
Yeh you need to verify id now
So SIM activation will take completely seperate ID verification process to verify who I am? (because the portal shows nickname as my account name)
ID should match account name
Managed to get 50% renewal using live chat. They offered 25% discount at the start so I threatened to port out and back in; then the customer service representative 'asked their manager' and after about 10 mins approved a 50% discount that you can see on their online portal
my number is currently with amaysim. I will need to port out and port in back. It seems it may be safer to port out now before i purchase this plan with "port with existing number" to save the hassle.
What is the cheapest port in and port out plan that i can walk in into coles or woolies to buy?
Just go on live chat and ask for the 50% discount to renew your existing subscription. I got it this morning straight away with no questions asked. Very straight forward. And you can choose to renew straight away or later. Seriously hassle free.
you can choose to renew straight away or later
define later? Days? Months?
Up to you. The 50% discount is given in the form of an approved credit amount towards the renewal of your plan
thanks @wondering. I also got the 50% as you mentioned :)
Amaysim doesn't support conference calls.. If you are getting 2nd call, you can't put the active call on hold and pick up the 2nd call… to attend the 2nd call, you have to drop the active call and pick up the 2nd call.
I was just approved for $100 credit towards a renewal as my 365 day plan is expiring today (purchased last year, for half price - 165gb 365 day plan for $100; normally $200). $100 already showing in my account as credit.
I was wondering, has anyone else in this position tried to use the $100 credit towards the smaller $120 60gb 365 day plan?
I have 40gb of data and was told it would rollover. If I'm able to, I could essentially end up with 100gb on the 365 day plan for $20 lol
I'd be interested to know this.
I looked at the change plan option but it looks like it happens immediately & you lose all roll-over credit.
This would still be fine as the 60GB 1 year plan would be OK.
Yeah I just went with the 60gb plan for $20 after applying $100 credit.
Won't officially take effect until tomorrow as that's when my plan actually ends (not today, as I initially thought).
I'll update here if the ~40gb data I have left ends up rolling over.
I do lose the international calling etc. that I had but I never really used it anyway.
Either way, 60gb on 365day plan is still a steal
How does the 60gb plan end up to be $20 with the $100 credit ? 🤔
Nevermind… I got what you meat 🤦🏼
@Litew8baby: I've pretty sure the credit they gave you will only apply to the specific plan you were offered. If, when you are trying to purchase the plan, that the amount doesnt show the discount then it wont apply the discount to your plan.
@andyman1908: Can confirm credit was applied to the new plan, i.e. I purchased the $120 60gb 365 day plan for $20 after applying the $100 renewal credit I was given via live chat. It wasn't locked to any particular plan fortunately for me
For the rollover you must rollover to the same plan AFAIK so if you gothe the 60GB plan NO rollover
Thank you. I went with the 60gb plan anyway. Not too fussed if data doesn't roll over as I don't need much.
I have 2 sims which are going to expire in couple of days. I contacted the support by chat requesting for a recharge using this 50% off offer. They said they can only offer 25% off as this offer is for new customers only. I replied thank you, i will port out my numbers and will port in again using this offer, don't need 25% recharge. So they offered me 50% off on my next recharge straightaway.
What happens if we don't activate by June 15? My plan doesn't expire until July
How do I purchase and keep the same number but don't activate until the 15th June?
You activate the sim when you get it home on the app
@Hurley
If you are with Amaysim this is for new customers only not updating current plan if you are with someone else than see if it worth losing a month and activating by the 15th June.
Thanks!
would you know if i can activate after 30 days? my plan ends in a month and a half and worried if i buy now it won't be "active" when i use this
Wish I hadn't jumped on the woolies offer so fast lol this is a great deal
Forgot to use a referral =(
How long can you keep woolies sim before start using?
12 months of purchase date
Have 3 postpaid mobile services. Never had prepaid. I can port over from the existing mobile numbers over from post to prepaid? Works exactly the same?
Yes, you can. You'll be asked to enter your account number from your current provider during the porting process.
no tracking from cashrewards after placed order successfully yesterday, anyone in the similar situation?
Same boat. Cashrewards hasn't tracked mine. Though my click history displays the record, so maybe wait a bit.
No tracking from shopback either
it told me amaysim need about 2 days to show
Managed to get 50% off (180gb) via chat, just made sure to mention I could port out and port in to 'get the deal anyway'. Did not get to roll over databank and missed out on cashback, but worth it for convenience IMO.
Got the 50% via chat using your method thanks!
Really cheeky to hide the most expensive plan in the middle (6 months instead of 12 months) - I wonder how many people fall for this :-(
It clearly says 6 months, i think its in the order of cost!
How can I contact with ShopBack regarding tracked $10.5 instead of $35, as I bought before 2:00pm 22/5.
Got it applied via chat. Didnt wqnt to go through hoops for cashback
Be careful, I chatted to amaysim and they said it needs to be activated by 15th June.
i ended up buying a vodafone $10 prepaid pack from coles for $4.
transferred to vodafone in 2 hours then i have purchased the $60 amaysim 12 months plan.
Will the 12 months start from today or when i activate the card (awaiting for delivery)?
I am thinking if i should wait until 14 June 2023 to activate it.
When you activate it on the app from my experience
I need 3 for tha family, but the T and C's say Limit one per Eligible Customer. Anyway around this? 3 seperate accounts i assume?
Cheapest and easiest way to port out of amaysim and portin after a month?
Port in before the 15th
I got this half price 6 months ago and ran out of data literally today, anyone know if I can just casually buy a simcard and ask for a new number and just pop it in phones second Sim slot for data only?
Yes. Or port out to another provider and back in with amaysim.
My existing Amaysim plan expires next month so I wouldn't mind preempting this for when the time comes.
Just to confirm 100%
If I want to buy this now to be activated later, at checkout I don't select that I want to use my existing number and I want a random new number (So the sim doesn't come pre-activated) then when the time comes to actually activate it (When my existing plan comes close to expiring) I need to port-out my existing number elsewhere (eg. to Boost Mobile) then port back in via Amaysim even though I have selected a 'New Number' at checkout? and I can just go through Live Chat and they will just do it for me so I can keep my existing number?
I have read through all of the Port-Out / Port-In Comments a few times and I believe that's correct but I just need to be 100% confident and so I don't screw myself over hahaha
I want a random new number (So the sim doesn't come pre-activated)
AFAIK, they will pre-activate the SIM during transit if you select this option.
Then when they see you start using the SIM / data, they reset the plan start day to that day.
It might be best to go on Live Chat now and ask them if this is possible to do. You could say that you are not sure yet if you want to transfer an existing number or not and want to decide this later. Will be interesting to find out if this does work.
One thing though, in the past I selected paypal as the payment method and did not verify my ID for this until I was ready to use the SIM. This stopped the pre-activation.
I was wondering this also. My Phone is with Boost and doesnt expire until mid july. If I get a Amaysim Sim with a NEW number and use it in my old phone and activate it by mid june then can I port my old phone number with boost to the already activated SIm / different number )
EDIT: advised you cant do this
"If you pick a new number it will be a new service and you cannot change that number to your old number.
when your existing service expires? "
On chat to Amaysim
"If you pick a new number it will be a new service and you cannot change that number to your old number. "
"Yes, If you are a new service you must activate the sim by 15 of June. since you are transferring your number, You can initiate your transfer with in 90 days. "
so for me I can buy a new service now choosing to port my existing number then just wait until mid july to activate and port from Boost
Thanks for checking, I wish that was more clear on the page
I didn't check this comment before I purchased it, I figured I could chose the option to get a new number just to get through with the checkout process. So got back on chat to see what options I have to transfer this plan to my existing number. They simply offered to withdraw the new number and apply that plan to my exisiting number. No hassle of porting out and back in. But makes sense to do the port out in for @Squeezy. My plan is expiring in 1 week.
Just chatted to another Amaysim Rep to confirm these T&C.
I'm told the 30th June is the deadline (no 90days period) Transcript Below.
Different Reps seems to give different T&C.
Visitor:
Mervin I appreciate your patience. However, hope you understand why I'm constantly asking again. You intially confirmed the 30th June Deadline, then changed to 27th June Deadline (as I asked if the deadline is within 30days from my 28May order=27th June), then you change back to the 30th June deadline.
It's only few days apart. But my friend was told July is fine by another Amaysim rep
Mervin O. 11:58:45 am
Okay, the deadline of your number transfer is on 30th of June however we need to start the number transfer on 27th of June due to the number transfer time frame takes 1-3 business days however if the number is still on number transfer with in July 1 I'm afraid that the plan will be forfeited.
Visitor: 12:00:03 pm
Thanks for finally confirming this.
So my friend was told misinformation by the Amaysim Rep?
Mervin O. 12:00:53 pm
Your most welcome 😊 With that in mind, are you good with the outcome of our chat today based on the next steps in place?
Visitor: 12:03:58 pm
30th June is the activation deadline for ALL current numbers ported over (new numbers have the earlier 15th June deadline). However this 30th June deadline is when Activation needs to be "COMPLETED" by. Most cases porting completes in few hours -1 day. but in cases where there is a 2-3day delay, it's best to activate on the 27th June to ensure meeting the port completion by 30th June Deadline (to avail the Promotion plan for "EXISTING PORTED" numbers. Did I summarise this correctly. Please confirm? Thanks
Mervin O. 12:04:48 pm
Yes, that is correct 😊
So basically is this an activate by June 15th or else it expires and you don't get anything and lose the 100 dollars?
Shopback didn't track, it's asking for order id. Anyone know where I might find this?
Just download the invoice from your Amaysim profile.
cheers :)
data won't be enough for me and i found a better alternative
