Everything is perfect. No dropouts and any downloads are excellent. I have not noticed any change from my previous telco except the price per month ! A wonderful service that meets all my needs.

Get what you pay for

Technical service is okay (considering its Telstra, not Pennytel). No option for international MMS bundle. Don't understand privacy and spam. "We're here to help" is a contradiction in terms. No option to remove from "Marketing" emails, might have to look elsewhere because of this single issue.

Pennytel coverage is as good as the major telcos. Data download is quick. Their call centre operators are efficient and easy to talk to. I'm glad we made the change.

What a pleasure to deal with.
No wait time and genuine help if required.
Have had no drop outs from shark bay to albany
This has been the best value for money in our communication adventure
I say this because we went into pennytel with eyes wide shut and came up with a fantastic company who I have recommended to many friends and family
Keep up the good work and thank you

Grabben Gullen, NSW 2583 has incredibly poor coverage making farm/business life so very hard.
Are there any plans to improve this area?

Pennytel, a company that is run right.

published

My wife and I joined Pennytel in January 2020 for two $10.99 plans for our two mobile phones. Everything was so easy from the start and contact with Pennytel was so easy and helpful explaining how our phone setup would happen. We received our sim cards quickly then phoned Pennytel to make them live, both phones are working well and the whole setup process was so easy and a credit to their staff. We've just received our 2nd invoice by email with both phones on the same invoice, the layout is very well set out and easy to understand. This company runs things right, is very helpful to it's customers and I will recommend them to my friends. Russell Wilson

I have found the network coverage sufficient for my needs. I have experienced about two dropouts but not sure it was the network’s problem.
The data speeds are enough for my needs.

A very smooth change over from old provider, great coverage would recommend to any country person and at a far cheaper price than the other telcos and payments thru bank transfers .

Incapable of dealing with a problem.

published

I organised mobile roaming for my trip to N Z. Arriving in Auckland I found I had no coverage. I called into 2 local provider shops and asked for help, they told me I did not have roaming. On return I asked for a refund and was told "yes no problem". 2 months and 3 more calls and still no refund. Hopeless.

Good value and was an easy setup. Stability and coverage is very good. The App is great as well. Haven’t had to use the call centre yet, so can’t comment on that.

No complaints at all. From the sign up to receipt of the phone and sim everything couldn’t have gone smoother. I had a phone enquiry and it was handled promptly and efficiently.

I have no 3G connection I can not receive or make calls. I can not call you to fix the problem, I can not reset my password. I have been waiting now for over 26 hours and have finally received a response telling me to weighting over an hour a go now. I have a Telstra booster displaying 4 to 5 bars and none on my phone I have tried a different phone, same crap. I have a 91 year old mother with miled dim ensure 2200 km away that I have not been able to ring for 2 weeks and I don't know whether she is alive or dead. I have a business that has ground to a stop and I get no response to fix the problem.
