OVO is just greedy

published

Reduced my data plan by 15GB but didn’t change the price? Also changed their policy so I can’t recharge before the day which means I have to buy data. They are just looking for money - it’s a scam

24 hour downtime to connect

published

After reading the bleurb about minimal down time and an email telling me it would only take 4 hours- I was left stranded with no activation for 24 hours! I had to hound them to be connected and lied to about how long it would take.
I couldn’t catch and Uber and have had to spend hundreds of dollars on parking at the airport. Not happy

Value for money

published

Good price and good value for money I definitely recommend going for ovo mobile thanks. Just go for it I love it's just that it take some time to deliver the sim card but the value for money covers it all up.

15G cut 2 weeks notice

published

The last 50G for 35AUD was extermly good, and I was happy with that that is why I changed and it was easy to use or order from them, however this changes to cut 15G for the same amount of money and when you ask why the reason is the customers are happy for that as they never used the 50G it is just ridiculous.

Awesome value

published

Order SIM card online, keep current mobile phone number. Generous allowances for pre-paid. Always seem to be increasing the data allowance! Easy to recharge. No need to pay for service if not using it - recently went overseas and let my recharge expire. Recharged when I got home with nil issues.

decreased the data on my deal

published

Always been very happy with OVO service and products. I was thrilled when they offered to double data on the mobile plans and went with the 50GB for $34.95. This deal must have been too popular because they have just told me that next recharge would only give me 35GB, Surely they could keep the deal going for the current customers. For me a deal is a deal and I will now sign up with another IP that hopefully won't suddenly change the rules.

Stay away

Couldn't order sim card online, so I tried support but no help at all. I rang customer service and same poor service. I told operator its too hard and I will find another company, it didn't seem to bother him. I am staying away for sure.

Pathetic customer service & technical support. BACKYARD TELCO

published

Absolute pathetic business, steer clear of this backyard telecom company!..
No Professional support or clear indication of how to fix problems, different answers from all staff.
Cheap & Nasty.
They may claim to be 100% Australian but this is incorrect & receive tech support overseas who are not available 24/7 like any reputable telco.

They are worst than dealing with off shore support teams.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Superb service, great value, outstanding overall.

published

Service is superb both phone network and customer. Plans are best value out there with no contract. Always warned when your data is near depleted. Easy to use dashboard on web page or app. I've got nothing negative to say about Ovo and I have been a customer for several years now along with the rest of my family

OVO eventually sorted our problem, long time waiting!!

published

Here's how it went down all the way down with OVO!
We are advised and assured by OVO staff that their SIM card will work on our unlocked Vodafone pocket wifi.
Once you make the OVO SIM card purchase, they seem not sure anymore, whether it will work or not!
Calls back and forth for months until they approve a refund!
Confirmed by OVO email, that our refund had been processed on the 24 May.!
When you ask for a receipt number for the refund process?
They seem to stop returning the calls!
Eventually after 19 days they get back to us, claiming, that for some unknown reason the refund hadn't been processed by accounts!
We ask when do you think that will happen??
They stopped returning our calls!

So far so good

published

I change mobile providers often and sometimes it can be a very difficult process. OVO was super quick porting my number over, as in minutes not hours or days. Very good value plans for BYO.

Great self service and smooth activation process

published

I was a bit cautious signing up my wife to OVO based on online reviews, but it seemed to be too good value to pass up. i was pleasantly surprised with the user friendly website and activation process. number porting was complete within 15 mins and everything was up and running quickly. The self service app and website are simple to use and my wife hasnt complained about data speeds, especially because we use her data a lot to hotspot for my son's iPad streaming. So far very happy and highly recommended! Thanks.

Simply awesome

published

I have been an OVO customer for 2 years. Recently I ported my wife’s phone number to OVO.
When I received an email from OVO telling me that port is in progress, my old sim card signal dropped off some 4 hours later. I replaced it with the OVO sim card. Less than one hour the phone is working in full swing. Efficiency is beyond expectation,
Thank you OVO. You are a top-notch mobile company.

Data disappeared in 2 days

published

I recharged my account 2 days ago and today I got a message which say we already used 50% from our 50gb data.
It is in possible.
We have 2 mobile number with 30gb/each data usage. We both work online, share our data to our son but still enoght in a month.
Honestly I'm so disappointed with your service. Exactly the same happened last time however we had 100gb plan that time. The fanny thing is we did not even use it as we both worked so it is very wired.

Questions & Answers

John

Johnasked

Why has my speed being slowed down to a ridiculously slow speed the last 3days....And it’s not congestion or Covid as I have my phone on OVO also and it’s speed is still the same.......

Can’t even play Xbox now....I pay $80 a month for 4G 250gb and up until 3 days ago was reasonably happy with it.....

Speed tests are approx 3mbps or less downloads and 12mbps or higher upload which is INSANE

My phone is still doing 30mbps+ or higher with the same upload as my data sim.

Please stop slowing my speed ASAP or I will go elsewhere.....it’s almost like I’ve been slowed down for the EASTER long weekend

Can you check an OVO mobile's message/voicemail from an external source? Like ring in and hear the messages from another phone (not on Ovo), using your PIN?

Thanks for your reply. Does OVO use the Optus phone number 0411 000 321 to ring the OVO mobile's voicemail, or is there a different number?
