Service with AAAAA Plus

published

Have now been with Pennytel for 4mths & I do not have 1 regret or complaint, no dropouts, data speeds are excellent! Was with Optus for at least 8 yrs & Pennytel's coverage & speeds are every bit as good, plus 5 times(!) the data allowance for $20 less per mth. & they send you a "thank you" email for paying your bill! One happy little vegemite here!!

Value for money, good service.

Coverage is adequate, data download speeds are sufficient. The best thing about Pennytel is that when you call then you get to speak with a real person who speaks Australian.

I have been able to use the service in several places, as I am only a low user I find it suits my needs.

published

I have had coverage where needed and no drop outs, I travel quite a bit and need to keep in contact with my family. The cheaper rate than other providers is wonderful.

A complete opposite to Telstra

published

The phone is only a secondary one and not often used but never had a problem with coverage. Telstra's minimum monthly plan was $44 for this phone. Must want to get rid of customers.
The service is really good and as others have said the staff are very friendly and helpful. The staff at the Telstra Business Centre are good but the rest are hopeless. Any issues or problems are ignored or you get the run around before being ignored. Will consider swapping my other devices to Pennytel when my current Telstra plans are up.

Great value service

I signed up to pennytel for my wife to use as she’s a ‘low’ user and this service looked like good value. It is! Perfect for her at a very good price and coverage is also very good for where we travel.

Moved from major telco, haven't looked back

published

In a major overhaul of my finances, I looked at ways of saving on my mobile bills. I own my handset so just needed my calls included and enough data to not stress about running out. I took up the 4GB plan and after three months changed to the 2GB. I love the fact I can 'duck and weave' easily between plans and the fact there are no lock-in contracts. I haven't had to call Pennytel, so can't comment on their customer service. The app is great. So far so good! Recommended.

Coverage is great. Have been out a lot to a lot of places to see if the coverage is what I was told it would be and I found it to be correct. I will be staying with them.

Happy with little Drop outs. Sometimes speed are slow but generally pretty good. Cant help it when you drive through black spots. Let's hope they build more towers so no more drop outs

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.
