No Coverage

published

Had my new sim for three months and no coverage in Alice Springs although I should have full coverage according to the Woolworts coverage map. Find it hard not being able to talk to anyone in customer service.

Prepaid sim number porting / woolworths mobile account login issue

published

Signed up for prepaid sim and was able to link my rewards card to get the monthly 10% grocery discount. Tried logging into woolies mobile account but keep getting the message saying "Unfortunately we are unable to verify your login details. Please try again." Changing the password still has the same error, similar to another issue in the reviews chat. Could this be sorted out?

Terrible coverage, terrible olive chat

I have little to no service coverage even though on the Woolworths mobile coverage map I am supposed to have full coverage. More often than not my phone wont receive calls or messages and drops out. Currently Socially isolated with a new baby and no service

Disgrace!

published

My phone is not receiving calls .. every time you call woolworths mobile it says you can only live chat. It's not even live chat its a robot that can't help. I emailed them days ago TWICE and heard nothing back. I am appalled at the non existent customer service. I will be now calling to change providers

Signed up for prepaid sim and phone is working well but I could not link my rewards card to get the monthly 10% grocery discount. Sent an email 2 weeks ago and no reply. Also was waiting on the phone for 90 minutes yesterday but got cut off. Tried logging into account but kept getting message saying "Unfortunately we are unable to verify your login details. Please try again." Changed password but still get the same message. A bit of help would be appreciated.

Non-existent customer support

published

Ported number from Vodafone to Woolworths 1 month ago with new S20. Two days ago received message that port was unsuccessful. Woolworths app asked to resend port request. Now, we have been without mobile phone connection for nearly 24 hours. No connection, phone simply says "Not registered on network"
Tried to contact tech support multiple times, no phone number, no chat response.
Very poor service. Also, no support for residents of Western Australia by offering extended hours for us to contact in the afternoon. Effectively closes mid afternoon Perth time.
Just need this resolved as fast as possible or everything gets cancelled, Mobiles x2, Insurance polices x2 etc.....

Clunky activation and awful support

published

I bought a $10 pre-paid for my young son. Activation would not proceed until I signed up for auto-recharge. No opportunity to speak with an operator. Will be off this account as soon as first pre-paid is finished.

Support. Worst ever.

published

Where do you start. 1. Data usage bar way more than report. What is correct as it seems every time I open a Web pages a gig is used. 2. MMS 3 days before you receive. 3. Trying to get support is just ridiculous. Only have some supposed AI called Olive that is still learning after how many years. Only communication is via online chat during work hours.

Worst Experience Ever!

published

I bought a $30 Pre paid from Woolworths. It was a nightmare trying to get it to activate, especially after having to put all my details in Driving Licence included. The six digit code at the end was meant to be sent to my mobile phone, this did not happen. Very annoying as Olive is of no use and it says I have to wait 3 days for someone to contact me. I would like a refund as this is a faulty product that I cannot use. I am going into my local Woolworths to complain.

Can’t be more satisfied.

published

I originally provided a 1 star review as I was having issues in porting my number across, like other customers have alluded to. However, after posting my original review, the level of professionalism and support provided by DJ from Woolworths has been unparalleled compared to other providers I have been with. DJ thank you and I can’t thank you enough for being patient with a cranky customer like me, and resolving the porting issue.

Poor network coverage

published

When I use mobile data my internet is incredibly slow and unreliable. The internet usually says connection timeout. They give a bunch of data but you can never use it because the internet doesn't work. No reception at work, or at home. Would not recommend

No coverage, touchy customer service

published

No service for 5 months inside my house in Port Melbourne. No resolution. If you get a little assertive asking for a resolution, they get offended and threaten to end the chat. How am I supposed to communicate if they act like snowflakes? A little conflict resolution training would help I think. Prices are competitive, but service is obnoxiously terrible. Can't wait for my contract to finish to get the hell out of this incompetent service.

Can't port over and non-existent customer service

published

Trying to port my pre-paid plan from Optus to here and now I am regretting big time. Been over 24 hours (NOT within the three hours timeframe of porting) and according to their website, they have a major outage with porting. The online chat Olive is a joke - wasted an hour trying to get a number. Could not even locate a number anywhere until I looked up reviews on here.

Have a feeling I have wasted $150 on the 365 days 84GB plan - please refund this. My current plan expires today and I am calling 1300 793 417 for over 20 mins and no one is picking up! Ridiculous.

Infinity at Cuttagee

Infinity at Cuttageeasked

Hi, this morning I activated my Woolies $30 sim and received an email saying my mobile is up and running - problem is I can't receive calls or texts. No-one can get through to me, says my number is not connected! I've used a family member's phone to call myself to check, won't let me get text messages either. But I can call and successfully send texts, just not receive anything. HELP!! The fact there is no support is beyond frustrating. Really wishing I hadn't changed to them.
Odd thing is I can't see a 4G or 3G icon on phone like I used to with my other carrier.
What can I do? I've emailed their "support" and an auto reply message came through it could take 3-5 working days to answer. WTF!
HELP PLEASE

HI
I purchased a 365Day Prepaid plan and the SimCard came with an Expiry of the 04/22. I have 2 questions:
1. Is there a timeframe/expiry of when i need to activate/port the number from another supplier from the date of receiving the sim card in the mail?
2. Does the 365Days start counting from the date of activation or the date of when the Sim Card arrived in the mail?

Thank you
Mick

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to contact Woolworths 'Mobile.

And yes that is correct.

If you purchase the sim card before the end of the promotion it will definitely still be available, again our sim cards have a 6 month expiry period.

Kind Regards,
The Woolworths Mobile Team
