Be aware !!! Completely Crap Service

Poor network and awful service. No transparency, no accountability and their sim won’t even work most of the time. Don’t waste your money and time guys. Spare yourself, they won’t help you with any issues.

Support refuses to help

published

BEWARE: Support team are useless and have no power/authority to action anything. When I attempted to change my details, I got an error: "There was a problem deleting your payment method". Support refused point-blank to help, said "We can't do anything to fix this error, it just happens sometimes, just keep retrying" and refused to resolve the error from their end. Going to TIO for help.

No MMS

published

Since signing up with catch my wife's and my phone cannot receive/send SMS MMS? Called tech support a few times and they say it's our phones! It's not, we had no such problem with Kogan Mobile. Now kicking myself I went CHEAP! Catch tech support have no idea how to rectify problems and have the standard reply of "nothing wrong with our sim it's a problem with you phone". We'll be changing service provider soon. Catch is the worst of a bad bunch here in Australia's 3rd world internet system.

If you want to port in from another supplier, Don't Use Catch

published

It has been more than 24 hours since I ported in from Optus. Disconnected from Optus and still have no service from CatchConnect. I still have no mobile service when I am writing this review.

Contacted CatchConnect 3 times, nothing they can do except ask me to wait for 24 - 48 business hours. And of course, they don't know the progress of the resolution. Extremely poor customer service.

Anyone want to port-in from another provider, please do not use CatchConnect.

This has been a really good experience!

I have been with catch connect twice now for 3 months each time. Never had any issues. Great service, quick turn around on SIM and set up and easy to turn off recharge and use dashboard. Absolutely no complaints and cannot understand other people's complaints. The price of their start up deals are second to none. Just wish i had signed up for a year and not just 3 months!

Generally good.. But!

published

I enjoyed the service even if it was lacking on an app to check your data usage. But then it was time for me to port my number over to a better deal. Unfortunately that became the sticky part a d caused unnecessary wasting of my time let alone the person who tried assisting in a failed porting of my number. My date of birth did not match the data systems of my current provider Catch Connect. Catch connect did not have my date of birth entered as apparently they are meant to. Obviously this is being used for cross matching and porting your number over.
New Customers. Watch this and insist your date of birth is recorded or you will experience porting difficulties i have

Terrible service for replacement sim

published

Was enjoying their service, and then lost my SIM card and needed to get a replacement. Spoke to their online chat who dispatched a sim and said it would arrive within 10 business days, but it never showed up. Spoke to their online chat again, who agreed to have a sim dispatched express post and said it would arrive in the next 3 business days.

I have asked for the tracking information every day since the sim was dispatched and I've been informed that the support team will be in contact with me. It's now been 4 business days and I still have no SIM, and no tracking information to let me know if/when it will arrive.

Poor internet

Internet wont work at all. If it does work will only be for few mins. Do not buy this. Get a boost with Telstra network or Kogan mobile. So disappointed I opted for annual service. Fix your crappy service and internet.

Great price, no lacking any feature I needed

published

The fact that Catch connect rates are much lower than the big telcos, I would cut some slack, but the fact is that living and mostly on a metropolitan area, the signal works fine for me, their internet portal has the basics features to control your usage, recharge etc.. suits me well.
Both my wife and my mobiles were switched to Catch for over 3 months now and haven't had any problem
The only query I had was solved by contacting them via web chat on their portal so no waiting on a telephone, which again, suits me.

Hi Diego, thank you for the wonderful feedback!

We, indeed offer one of the cheapest rates in the market. With 30, 90 and 365-day plans, you can choose whatever suits you the best. Thanks once again for switching to Catch Connect.

Help themselves to your credit card then hold your number hostage

published

I bought a prepaid 12 mth sim, 12 mths later they took another $300 out of my account without warning and topped it up another 12mths, I contacted about this and did not authorize, so they have disconnected and held my number of 20yrs hostage, I cannot port it to another phone company and have made over 50 calls and texts to catch without resolution.... stay away from this rip off company

Terrible Customer Service - do not go with this company

published

I was sent 3 x emails at exactly the same day/time notifying me "Data Consumed was 50%, 85%, 100%" . I asked for extra data as it was their faulty system and was told by 2 people its in the contract 'dont rely on notifications'. I had 2 days left and no consideration/ extra data given in lieu of their systems mistake. No flexibility. One bad experience and many people hear about it...

I never got connection enough to find out. I couldn't receive calls or send or make texts, for the 3 weeks that I complained, until eventually the ombudsman pressured them into refunding me. Then they only wanted to refund the pro rata rate - in other words, charge me for the three weeks of complaints because of no connection. Back to the ombudsman who has made them refund me completely. What a waste of time and energy trying Catch Connect

Hi Paul,

Sorry, I honestly don't know as I seldom use that feature. You can just call them and ask on 1300222825.

Albert L.asked

I bought a 3 month prepaid sim card, and have inactivated the auto-recharge through the online portal. however, each time I log in the https://catchconnect.com.au/login. I found the state of auto-recharge in "ON" again. Please advise the reason why you automatically reset my auto recharge.

In my opinion, it is a kind of cheating, please advise .
