Hi OzBargain,

A quick update from me.

The negative feedback in this post has made a few things clear to me.

  • If more than one person is upset - it's my fault
  • Pushing promotions and marketing is not worthwhile if ALL customers are not being serviced to a high standard

I am deeply sorry for anyone who has had a bad customer experience with me. Please know I am willing to make it right for anyone who is unsatisfied. Reach out to me anytime!

I will humbly take the responsibility here and listen to the community and redirect my time from promoting on OzBargain to developing my operations and refining the service I provide. Fortunately, we have had very positive feedback and growth in other marketing channels so OzBargain has been a sort of bonus for us, but it's not worthwhile unless everyone is getting a good service! And that's my responsibility.

I will be ceasing all promotions for now on OzBargain until things have been improved on my end.

:) Thank you to everyone who has supported me positively and I hope to see you guys all again sometime in the future.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries or concerns! You can message Kris on Facebook Chat or email me directly at [email protected].

Wish you all the best!
-Aidan

    REP, can you please clarify this statement:

    Hotspot/Tethering is allowed in mobile devices only

    So can you tether? What can you not do? Tether to a laptop?

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 14/05/2018 - 17:36

      Hey Make it,

      Yeah its difficult to word this one.

      You can only use the SIM in your mobile phone. It simply cannot be used in other devices like wifi devices.

      You can tether to any device you wish as long as you aren't planning on using it through a wifi device.

      Hope that clarifies for ya :)

        So you can put it in your mobile phone and use your mobile phone as hotspot for a laptop or any other device?

        But they can detect if you use it in a WiFi modem, and do not permit it?

        • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 14/05/2018 - 17:40

        • Make it so on 14/05/2018 - 17:43

          @SimsDirect: Well, it kind of depends on how exactly they classify the device; I imagine they prevent tethering from any device which is not voice-enabled (?). Perhaps say "not for use in 4G WiFi modem - will not work".

  • Tex Texan on 14/05/2018 - 17:44

    So this can only be used to make calls and send texts to other European countries, not back home to Australia?

    What happens if someone in Aus calls this sim in Europe, how are charges handled at both ends? Thanks.

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 14/05/2018 - 17:49

      Spot on.

      The SIM cannot call Australia without additional international credit. I have added the information in the description for topups.

      I believe it will not go through without extra credit uploaded. The person calling you would be charged a flagfall fee (amount depends on carrier they use).

      10 pound would get you 333 minutes of calls to Astralia (3pence/minute).

      Hope that helps,
      -Aidan

      hi sween,

      We don't currently offer that SIM card. We feel it doesn't provide the same value as it really isn't much cheaper for us to buy compared to the 12GB.

      If 12GB is too much, you might be able to pick up a 5GB one from Ebay.

      Totally agree with this, I found them very unprofessional - would look at other companies or use your googling powers to find and order this product yourself. For example, Sim Corner offers the same product for only a few dollars more and in my personal experience they were much more reliable and transparent.

      Hi Bradley,

      I really don't understand your wish to hurt my reputation and put on display unhappy customers when you aren't even a customer yourself.

      I have made some mistakes yes, but mistakes are normal and apart of any business.

      All customers who have had bad experiences have been apologised to and refunded in full.

      I take my business seriously so I understand that it takes time smooth out operations to better customer experience, and that's what will happen.

      There are numerous more customers who are happy with my customer service so I hope that you can try to understand that.

      I wish you nothing but peace Bradley.

        Hi Aidan,

        There's a reason that I'm not one of your customers, it's because if I order a travel sim I need it to arrive on time, and based on the experiences of previous customers it'd be a gamble.

        If me sharing the experiences of your past customers is "hurting your business" you should ensure the sims arrive on time and customers don't have problems, which shouldn't be hard to do since you ask for the departure date.

        I wish travellers nothing but peace Aidan.

        I can only hope he isn't a customer thanks to the warnings posted by users like myself that your deceit has affected. Additionlly you are posting lies here, I received no such refund as you have claimed that all persons have?

        If you need to smooth out things then you don't need to be pushing out a advertising/publicity plan such as these 'promotions' until such things are sorted out.

        Also yay, I got included :D Go Bradley!

        • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 14/05/2018 - 20:34

          Hey Max,

          Refunds were issued to anyone who did not receive their SIM cards. I believe you received yours.

          Your issue was about the email campaign that went out to you with misleading prices correct?

          Ive responded to your old comment with an update about that last month.

          About our promotions. We need to be consistently posting promotions and marketing to bring in new customers for the business to grow. Very important for any business. If we are causing more harm than good then I will happily cease all outbound marketing until our operations can support it.

          Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

          Thanks for the feedback.

          That doesn't surprise me with the prices they charge, in the last deal for Japan sims I noticed that it's the same price from the manufacturer, including shipping, but the shipping was flat rate so buying more than one from the manufacturer would save you quite a bit.

          As for you having issues with them as well, I plan on posting the list on all their future 'bargains' as a warning to potential customers, is it alright if I add you to the list?

      hi Jtrappett,

      It is cheaper to buy multiple SIMs and switch them out instead of recharging (if you don't mind changing your mobile number).

          Please make sure your sister goes to her MY3 account and uses the 20 pound credit to ‘activate’ a bundle.

          What I mean is.

          If you purchase 20 pound and do nothing. The 20 pound is stored as credit and will be used as pay as you go credit.

          If you wish to use it as a bundle, you need to go to your account and redeem the ‘all-in-one-20’ bundle. With the credit.

          The AIO20 bundle is what you originally had on the SIM. 12GB data + 3000 calls/texts

    • Store RepSimsDirect @ SimsDirect on 15/05/2018 - 08:01

      Hi max,

      Yes correct! You can call each other and it counts as a ‘European’ number.

      So for example.

      Even if you are in a non-EU country but you wish to call each other, you can. As both SIMs are UK numbers (+44).
