    F Amaysim! Never again! Horrible reception. Be warned.

      • Maths Debater on 26/02/2024 - 21:03

        Full Optus network as well. Optus have consistently been the fastest 5G network for the past several years per OpenSignal testing. Of course it doesn't have the reach Telstra does, however.

          Telstra has become quite bad recently. It doesn't work inside of shopping centres for me. Lot's of drop outs on the train.

                    @zealmax: Yeah, that's bad. I noticed 3g got worse gradually with the 4g rollout also. Planned obsolescence and pushing people towards 5g maybe.

      • Heatherfield on 05/03/2024 - 22:12

        Just bought this an hour ago. 10% off using Everyday Extra, paid with a Woolworth egift card. I had a bag of bread in the order together with the sim FWIW.

    Whats a new customer? New to Woolies or new to Amaysim? I have a prepaid a/c for mum in my name with Amaysim Does that mean if I buy this sim I wont be able to activate this plan?

    • Borg on 26/02/2024 - 21:31

      New to Amaysim so just port out and back in.

      • timhn on 27/02/2024 - 07:35
        +2

        I believe if you activate this sim, it must be for a new number or port in from other telco. You can be an existing customer.

        • ocular on 01/03/2024 - 07:22

          This is the correct definition of the incorrect use of the phrase "new customer" in this industry.

    • Lord Ra on 01/03/2024 - 09:41

      @glyptothek the others are right, but also wrong.
      The correct answer is from @timhn.

      You can be an existing customer but adding a new number to your current portfolio. I have 7 under my name so far. Eventually, they expire, you get cracking deals on these 'expired' numbers to tempt you to come back.

    I also love the amaysim $70 roaming pack, lasts 365 days and you get 9gig and 100min, I only used 3 gig over2 weeks at Xmas in Asia so using it again in May for my next trip, so much better value than other long pre paid offers

    • sal78 on 27/02/2024 - 06:31

      Travel sims are really easy to use. I have a Travel Sim already and each time I go overseas I just recharge for that country or continent. The company is available 24/7 on whatsapp if I need fast activation.

      Recharging is a lot cheaper than buying new travel sim. It was like $8 for 2G per day for 2 weeks recently in KL. I spent less than $70 for 4 weeks in Europe and Asia. Especially when travelling with the fam and everyone wants intl roaming.

      9G for $70 is very little tbh

    You would think they have a good reception in a hospital as if you have someone in emergency you can not walk outside to have reception to call someone.

    Any thoughts on Lebara guys?

    Looking that this plan but lots of caveats lol especially when one needs to make international calls on the regular to one of their 'included' countries (India)

    https://www.lebara.com.au/prepaid-plans/long-expiry/

    360 day sim - 80 GB in chunks - $119

    talk me out of this lol

    • non-core promise on 27/02/2024 - 13:43

      If you don't need the international calls, wait for a Kogan Mobile sale.

      From memory, their 120GB yearly plan gets frequently discounted to $100, with very occasional further drops.

      Their 200GB gets frequently discounted to around $140.

      300GB drops to aorund $160-180.

      500GB drops to around $180-200.

      All 4 plans get 5 or 6 additional days over Lebara and can be renewed for the same value a year later if you monitor Kogan Mobile sales a few weeks ahead of time (make sure the fine print says the code can be used for existing customers as well as new ones).

      Kogan Mobile plans can also be purchased from Kogan.com with Kogan gift cards, credits and credit card points. The first 2 have expiry dates, the last one has no expiry date and can be earnt at a rate of 1% if you have a no fee Kogan Black credit card.

      I personally purchase a few Kogan Mobile plans every year using the points I've accumulated and discounted gift cards/credits to discount them further than their nominal costs.

      • non-core promise on 04/03/2024 - 15:08

        @SES

        If you're still interested, Kogan Mobile currently have a sale on their top two plans, but it will only work out if you have a friend who is also willing to go with Kogan Mobile.

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/834437

        $270 and $300 for 300 and 500GB respectively, but you get two voucher codes instead of one, so that's half price if you have a friend.

    • Kustard King on 29/02/2024 - 17:30

      Voda are fine if you live in the capital cities. I was with them for 2 years 12 months ago. I'm not with Optus and Telstra (2 sims in same phone) and coverage is just better in some small towns. I would just go cheapest myself.

      • helpme on 27/02/2024 - 16:36

        Ah really…maybe it's just all the networks…I'm in SE Melbourne, about an hour from CBD. I was with boost before switching to amaysim ~7 months ago. Huge difference I've noticed in terms of consistency.

          haha I'm a suburb past dandy lol, small world but yeah telstra doesn't work or is very choppy where I think you live so yeah it makes sense, a friend of mine did the exact same thing. What's interesting in my case I like 500m from a Telstra tower and never had any issue up until recently.

        Hi - Sorry to jump on but moved over to boost hoping for better coverage than GOMO(Optus) - they stopped providing their service but with Optus networks had the usual drop outs on the train but everywhere else it was great, i live in the western suburbs - of coz a few malls it would be bad. Moving to boost - itis soo bad even in the CBD say in a level 50 building to download even an app from the app store takes ages and its so slow! Southern cross station is a shocker - my phone doesnt support 5g not sure if thats the case but from what i am reading above - you having 5g is no better? just wondering if you reached out to telstra or boost (whoever you are with) 7?

        • SES on 29/02/2024 - 18:17

          yeah they dont want to ack the issue/fault after being passed around a few reps including Telstra reps. I told them it's not JUST me, ohers having the same issue but they were stuck on it being an isolated to me. Imma reach out to their retention team and see if what they can do, probs nothing so will jump ship.

          Use the AUS tower app to confirm you have enough Optus towers/coverage in your vicinity.

    • Ibz on 27/02/2024 - 16:58

      These broad statements are useless as coverage varies from suburb to suburb, let along city to city

      Refer to coverage maps and get the aus phone towers app to see which carrier has towers near you and what bands the towers have.

      https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.bitbot.…

      E.g. In Dubbo, voda has a tower that covers the entire town, but it uses a low speed band so it's borderline unuseable for data. Meanwhile optus and telstra have closer towers and they have more bands.

      • SES on 27/02/2024 - 18:57

        I live 500m away from a Telstra tower and the coverage map says 5G indoors and outdoors but yeah calls drop out constantly. never had an issue up until recently so unsure etf is is going on.

        • Ibz on 27/02/2024 - 23:25

          That's pretty odd. Maybe there's an issue with that tower that needs to be reported? Might be worth seeing what bands that tower has active and how far out their signal travels

    I would not recommend porting in to Amaysim.
    Never f***ing again.
    In Canberra Telstra got really slow data wise so I ported into Amaysim, but my number is not receiving calls or SMS seemingly from other Telstra numbers(banking or Mygov text verifications, personal calls and sms). Issue still persists even after isolation test and sim card replacement. The customer support chat and phone line is a nightmare to deal with, without the physical store.

    If opening an account with a new number, it is prob OK as there is no risk of ruining your main number.

    • apptrack on 27/02/2024 - 12:29

      Unfortunately can happen with any carrier, I would raise a complaint and ask for the number routing to be checked/fixed on your service. TIO as last resort.
