Plans are ok but absolutely no customer service at all
I change to Woolworths mobile after being a longtime Telstra customer. While their plans are quite reasonable they have absolutely no customer service at all. If you need any help the only place you're likely to speak to someone is via their FB page but then they only give you a number that never answers or an email address that only gives you an automated reply.
If you travel overseas a lot forget using Woolworths mobile completely! It's buy a local SIM when you arrive, which is a total inconvenience, or buy one of their add on data or roami...Read more
ng packs that are only good for a very limited number of places. I wasted my money on a $75 add on for South Africa but after 3 or 4 days I was never able to get any data. I tried to speak to someone at WW Mobile about it but after getting a automated reply from their email address saying someone would contact me with 48 hours, 100 hours later I'm still waiting. I will be going back to Telstra once my contract is up.

AVOID Horrible customer service
Horrible customer service! Woolworths mobile does not offer any avenue to actually speak to a real person. No phone number & no way of sorting issues out other than through their virtual support. Super frustrating when you cannot call someone to make an enquiry or speak with a human being. I will be leaving as soon as my plan is expired.

Mobile plan cancellation
This is the worst mobile service I have used. Tried to call and chat with Customer Service Representative to Cancel my mobile number but didn't get response from anyone. I recommend not to buy this MOBILE product.
They don't have customer service.

Horrendous customer service
Tried to contact support to cancel my s20 order. Every time I contacted them, I was connected to the same customer service rep who left me at seen and disconnected. I know the plan is to not let me contact them until the phones are dispatched so they can deny the cancellation.

Disgusted shareholderHunter Region, NSW
This is garbage!
My husband and I signed up for Woolies mobile on the same day. His voice mail set up no problems, mine will not. Now I find that it is actually not possible to obtain customer support to fix the issue, so now I don't have voice mail any more. I am beyond disgusted and will be going back to Telstra ASAP. Telstra are liars but at least they speak to you and would be able to fix this issue. I am also a shareholder of Woolies and will be attending the next AGM to put this matter before the CEO, who I am quite sure will have an explanation for me.

So apparently Woolies mobile's fix for a technical problem is to ask you if it is fixed yet, without actually fixing it. It seems the ombudsman will have to sort this one out.

After being sent a SIM that wouldn't work, and 37 mins on the chat line, the issue was solved next day and I was able to activate SIM online. Process was easy and activation very quick. Chat service is very slow at first but once a representative is connected process went smoothly

Shocking coverage
They might use the Telstra network but only a small portion of it. Driving from Townsville to Mount Isa, you have service in Townsville, Charters Towers, Cloncurry and Mount Isa. Hope you don't break down or need internet anywhere else because you won't get it. The internet is bad too, sometimes works great, then randomly is very slow. The 10% off at Woolworths is awesome and the only reason I keep it. Just hope I don't have to travel out west again.

Lucky I read the reviews!
I was trying to purchase 2 new galaxy s20 ultras and thought it was a no brainer - large well known brand, using telstra coverage at a great price. Just before purchasing, decided to check out the reviews. So glad I did - thanks everyone!
Tried to call their customer service number provided as a response to most of these complaints to check coverage and service concerns. Needless to say, no one answered my calls and the hold music is beyond repetitive. Put up with as much as I could handle (very long time) before deciding this is not the mobile provider for me.

Cheapest prices - worst service. There is no phone number to contact them only an online chat.
I have been trying to get in contact with Woolworth mobile for 2 days. There is no visible phone number to contact them. Their chat system is very flawed and takes a while to get started, once started the operators are not very knowledgeable - for instance, they did not know that they offerred a Samsung S20 Ultra in their service (despite it being on the internet). I am trying to use a promotion or discount in the purchase of a new phone and they are barring it, but for no good reason.

Horrible customer service. Cannot speak to anyone, have to type to a robot online who doesn’t respond. I’m no longer a customer, however your company continue to debit my account and I can’t contact anyone to get it rectified and be refunded. Disgraceful Woolworths Mobile.

Customer service, what's that.
I have been trying to resolve an issue with lack of coverage, but talking to the chat bot olive is useless, I finally got connected to some one and the system just stops working.
While reception in town is fine as soon as you travel out of a major town it drops out quite quickly. They claim to use Telstra network including refrence to how good it is.
But it must only be a small fraction of the network as other people with Telstra have no issues in same areas.
And some towns that have Telstra towers you still have zero reception
2 stars because it works fine in the city.
And minus 1 because Everything about the customer service is Broken.
Definitely not renewing my contract.

Easy start with highly competitive costs and no issues.
I see a lot of negative comments but credit where credit is due. From the get go the process of selecting plan, phone and contract was incredibly simple. The competitive nature of costs and fees were quite simply too good to pass up, particularly considering my previous telco couldn't/wouldn't match it. I save nearly $20 per month with more data for a similar plan! Delivery was extremely quick and once I registered, the number was ported over in just over an hour. Everything has been smooth sailing since then. Coverage and data speeds are ex...Read more

I purchased the heavily advertised promo for 365 days 85 GB $150. I just received my sim, went to activate it, and the choice it gave me to click on said I bought the lesser plan. It asked me if I wanted to upgrade!!!! Wondering what to do I tried to call customer service (spent an hour trying to get an answer out of Olive, forget it), and it (the mobile service number) rang out twice, not impressed. I have the email receipt, the little green packet it came with, and a much cheaper plan than option to activate than I paid for. BEWARE, you ...Read more

Buyer Beware
Heres a little something Woolworths wont advertise about the shortfall of their product "mobile phone sim" nor will the customer service operator reveal. By the way the number to the help service is 1300101234 and option 5, follow the prompts to report a lost or stolen sim.
Having recently lost my sim and in an attempt to report this I was transferred to a customer service office Jasper (the human version of Olive... utterly useless) explaining that when I purchased a new sim ($20 out of pocket) using the mobile app to change the sim several ...Read more
times each time it stated that it didn't recognise the 9 digit number. Without access to a phone to contact Woolworths I opted to activate the sim with a new number instead so I could make contact. Jasper at this point outlined that I am required to purchase another sim and go through the process again and if it is still not working to contact Woolworths back. Outlining that I had now way to contact Woolworths as per the original scenario hence why I activated the sim card, Jasper advised that I use a neighbours phone, seek help from someone on the street, friends or family are another option, use another establishments phone or a pay phone on the street. I asked if I will receive a credit for the additional money spent to which he replied no. I asked if I can get my data earned (up to 120GB) over the last few months carried across, he also said no. At the Woolworths store, staff with the Information vests on seemed to either have no idea on the process of replacing a lost sim or didn't know that Woolworths provided phone sims as a service.1 comment

Questions & Answers
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. Crap!
Any 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 Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Woolworths Mobile.
As per our T&C's you must activate the service within 6 months after purchase or before the sim expiry date, whichever comes first.
In this instance, the fact your sim card has advised an expiry date of 04/22, you will still be able to activate this sim card up until the date advised.
Also, the 365 Long Expiry sim card will only start counting from date of activation.
Please be advised you can also contact us directly 1300 793 417, our hours of operation are Mon - Fri 9 am - 5 pm & Sat 10 am - 4 pm (AEST).

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.
