Poor customer communication and no tech support after hours
I have just signed up to Think and it has been poor experience from the word go! Firstly I receive a letter telling me to insert the new SIM card and then call to activate it, and suggesting that I will have no service for up to 14 days. In my confusion I have called to clarify this, and was told that not only I wouldn't be able to call after inserting a SIM card that is not activated, but that Think Mobile are aware of the poor wording of the letter, but haven't bothered to change it and continue to send it to new customers (???) Then, once my...Read more
service has been activated, I am unable to receive calls or SMS. This in itself is not such an issue, however there is no technical support available until Monday morning!!?? I am now submitting a complaint (within 1 day of becoming a customer!) and hope for Think Mobile's fault it doesn't end up at the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman. Quite an ironic choice of brand name for this provider!

Great service and plans.
Joined $37 for 40gb a month, so happy with the service and coverage is decent in metro areas as I don’t travel rural. Internet speeds are fast.
Customer service is good Aussie based and fast to reply to issues. Very happy.

Seamless switch
After 4 attempts to contact Optus to recontract ( 2 phone calls and 2 live chats) were futile plus visiting an Optus shop, switched to Think on 12 month 80 GB plan postpaid for $48 PM. Great value!
Sim received next day ( amazing) and porting process fast efficient ( Aussie lady at GC support centre sorted out Optus account number anomaly quickly and with a call back within 3 MINUTES. ) Wow! What service?
Initial tethering issues fixed after 2 super fast email replies by THINK customer service to queries which seem to solve the problem and I now have fast internet using mobile wifi as laptop hotspot.
Very very impressive.
Local call center a big plus.
Time to support local companies giving great value and excellent service.

Take ages to Port your number out!
Think was great to begin with. I was with them for 2 years until i found a better deal with a different company. Trying to Port your number from Think to another company takes ages!! i have never had to wait over 48 hours for this before (as i swap companies ever 2 years or so). I think they literally try to hold your number ransom so you get so fed up with them. I will never return as a customer after this. Oh and they extended the days out so it landed on a Sunday so i had to wait an extra day. Still waiting for my number to be ported. Great customer service guys! What a way to say thanks to your customers!!! This is the only reason why i am writing a bad review as i want to start using my new company deals not Thinks!

Very Good Service
As I don't get mobile reception where we live I use only a basic plan for $12/month mainly when away from home. The service sends an account every month and uses Telstra as carrier. Never had a problem and when you ring them you get an Aussie that seems only too happy to help.

Cut off our phone without warning (after being with them for over 10 years) because they made an acc
Terrible beyond belief, probably my worst experience of incompetence by a company. Their contact line offered to phone back as they couldn't answer within a reasonable time but of course they never did so I had to keep phoning them (luckily had another phone as their service was cut-off). Like other reviewers, I think what used to be a good alternative to the big telcos has just become an apathetic non-entity.

The worst!!!
Terrible network coverage.
Prepaid and postpaid plan.
The plan was value for money IF Think Mobile followed the terms of the agreement.
Customer service is appalling, they attempted to charge me an extra month and when I asked Pricilla (customer service representative) why, she couldn't answer me.
They overcharge with no proof or reasoning.

Good Service provider for the money, but just now fallen behind
I have been using this service for 8 years, and never expected more than what they offer, a cheaper service at a lower price. Customer service has been excellent and friendly. I have been on the 39 unlimited calls/sms plan with 4Gb data, and my daughters phone on the 12 plan, basic but cheap. Only lately have they been not able to keep up with the market, and now price wise, they are overtaken by TPG and OVO. I have just purchased OVO for myself and my daughter, now I get 8gb data for $35 and my daughter 1Gb data, some call but more important unlimited sms/mms ( kids use these more) for just $10/m. Think better think about their offerings now, or they will not survive.

AVOID AVOID AVOID
Network coverage was shocking so they moved me to another more expensive plan that was just as bad. Final kick in the balls was a bill for exceeding the call limit despite them recommending the plan based on my previous usage.
Lots of alternative providers to select - spare yourself the pain!
Go elsewhere!!!

Australian customer service - one of the few!
Think uses the Vodafone Network which is actually very fast and stable now however no 4G yet for those who need it look elsewhere. Coverage is not the best so people who complain about that it is not Think's fault! If you want good coverage you go with Telstra and you pay it in gold. Those who value good customer service this is the one to choose. Their $32.95 unlimited plan with 2GB of data is satisfactory even though you can get cheaper elsewhere. Again you pay a little extra for customer service which is worth it. Lastly be aware, if you go over your 2GB limit they charge you! Most telcos now just cap your data, so that is a little disappointing from Think, so keep that in mind.

Excellent customer service & affordable plans
I've been with Think Mobile since 2010. My husband signed up a couple of years ago now, and we get free calls to each other on the swift plans. Pretty good for us, as most of our calls are to each other. We live in a rural area where mobile coverage is a real problem, and Telstra does not service our entire valley. But Think Mobile has always helped us find the best solution and the customer service has been outstanding over the years. I often deal with the same person who is familiar with our plans, coverage, handsets etc. Pretty amazing really, and all for $12 a month. We are light users but nevertheless mobiles are a real necessity. For us Think Mobile has been fantastic and incredibly priced!

Excess data charges
As a Telstra customer i got my daughter a think mobile plan, huge mistake! When her data had gone over the limit i phoned think customer service to buy a top of data only to find out that they don't do it, so excess charges have been charged costing 6 times more than her $50 a month plan. Her plan is up now, and we are moving straight over to Telstra direct for their customer services is 200% better, a very unhelpful company to deal with as the customer definitely doesn't come first.

Think mobile id a waste.of.timr
1. No 24 hour contact line. Meaning if you have a job and can't find spare time during your busy day thrn wait until the weekend befire calling. Just not sundays, they are closed then too.
2. No usable automatic payment method, if you like paying online or on the phone, good for you! It sucjs.
3. They changed their mind about how much I pay monthly, and I now have to deal with that.
4. If you can ever get through to the phone staff, they are very nice and professional... If you grt through.
5. Coverage. In one word?... Shocking.
Overall rating is one star because thats the lowest I can go. I would prefer giving them zero stars.

Service is the lowest I have ever found in the telco world
I went to allphones Capalaba to join up with Amaysim only to be talked into using think instead. I was promised that the service would be up and running within 1-3 hours as my number was being transferred from Telstra. 24 hours later still with no service I went back to all phones to say that the service was not up and running only to be told after a phone call was made that the service was down, with no time frame of it being up and running. I asked to have my contract cancelled and went with Amaysim as I should have done in the first place....Read more
Only to find that they could not transfer my number across as Think Mobile had not released it. after many phone calls and three more hours of down time I have been told it could be as long as 48 hours. Think blame allphones, allphones blame think, think blame their carrier....OMG! just cancelled the supposedly none pulled contract from Telstra Think. How long does it take to undo something that was supposedly not done in the first place. Currently they are now blaming Telstra. OMG! this is great customer service? Really? I gave them ago so as to support QLd business but never again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Data Connectivity issue
Do check data connectivity if you are using internet regularly. I use heavily and come to know that after every 55 secs to 1min n 5 secs, my mobile is losing connection. I tried by calling from Viber, Apple Facetime, chatting on Whatsapp for the last 1 month and still horrible connectivity. Whastapp reconnect in between. You loose voice on Viber and Facetime stops in between. Facebook reconnects after sometime, rather than staying connected. This wasn't an issue with any other network. Regular Calls are not an issue, however if u use internet, then it can be a problem for you. Tried to reach Think call center, they just kept on saying, sync with ITunes, though it is not at all related to it. Test before taking your connection.

Been with them forever
I agree with other reviewer. Friendly service, real person who answers phone (not quite as awesome as before they were taken over, but still v good), plans no longer the cheapest on Telstra network, but still highly competitive, and coverage is good - actually my issues are in the rural areas, where the other half's Telstra 4G will work, and my Think Telstra 3G doesn't, but in town - well WOW, lots of folks on Optus 4G, no reception, me on 3G, 5 bars!

Fantastic, very reasonable Aussie-based mobile service provider
I discovered Think Mobile while searching for an affordable phone plan that used the Telstra network - without the high cost usually associated with using it. They offer extremely reasonable plans, and you have the choice of being on the Telstra network (Classic plans) or the Vodafone network (Swift plans). I use the Classic plan, and enjoy the full coverage and stability of the Telstra network. The most impressive thing about Think mobile is their customer service, and the ease of accessibility to that service. Based in Queensland, Australia, ...Read more
when you call up for assistance, your call is answered locally - no outsourced call centres. You get to speak to a real person, usually very quickly. The service is friendly and efficient. Think offers a range of smart phones available with their plans, and they also have a range of BYO sim-only plans with no lock-in contract! This was the biggest selling point for me, not being locked into anything. I have been with Think for many years now and not looked back. I highly recommend this local, great value Telco!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
