    Useless instructions on turning off auto recharge: "If you want to turn your auto recharge off, that's possible in your OVO Dashboard - just choose the service that you'd like to manage." That's it - no explanation of what to actually click.

    Here's how:

    1. To turn off auto recharge, login, click your name, and select MY OVO DASHBOARD.
    2. Click CHECK IT OUT.
    3. Click WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO.
    4. Click MANAGE MY SERVICE.
    5. Deselect AUTO RECHARGE & click UPDATE.

    Received yesterday as well, and "activated" it over 24 hours ago… still waiting. Guess I'm one of the unlucky ones (not even porting).

    • GregMonarch on 22/08/2017 - 17:52

      I activated just before typing my message above. Received the activation email in less than 30 seconds. Might be time to get on their livechat.

      • cosmic on 22/08/2017 - 21:59

        I already did, in the morning :)
        Nothing they can do except chase up on it. Still inactive.

      • Iamspy on 24/08/2017 - 15:32

        I bought 7 of these sim and they charged me $14.
        They should have refunded me $7 by now.
        Hasn't happened yet

  • outlander on 31/08/2017 - 12:40

    Does anyone know how the porting process goes? I've activated the sim, and it's finished the porting, but it's saying it has no credit.

    • tunzafun001 on 02/09/2017 - 15:30

      I was wondering about this as the sim sent out has no mention of any credit.

      According to the CEO I've got 60 Days to activate, but not sure if that is from the start of the promo, or from ordering?

      • outlander on 02/09/2017 - 22:03

        Its alright! Credit just takes time to be applied. Confirmed by customer service. Arrived about 4 hours after porting did.

  • googoogaga on 09/09/2017 - 21:21

    has anyone else not received their sim card yet? it has been 3 weeks..

  • 51ngh on 10/09/2017 - 23:48

    Activated today - Sunday evening 8pm
    Got a "Your ovo SIM is active" email by 9:30 pm even after a port !
    Impressed !!!!!

  • swings on 12/09/2017 - 16:54

    Since I started using ovo thanks to the original deal posted here last year when they started the 50$ plan, have to leave my positive experience with them.
    It's slightly more than a year I'm with ovo, great customer service, love their dashboard, and great service. Can't recommend them enough. I use the 50giga data as my main internet and very happy.
    Easy to change plan if you need too,easy to set manual top up.

  • Rakddon on 12/09/2017 - 22:02

    Activated the Mrs service yesterday evening and 24 hours later got an SMS from Optus.

    Service still not active!!!

    • nickj on 13/09/2017 - 12:21

      Are you porting? I was, and it was pretty slow to get activated. I completed Ovo's online activation form on Monday at 10 AM, and it still hadn't ported 24 hours later at Tuesday 10 AM, so I phoned them, and they said it was something with their internal system holding up the port, and they would escalate and investigate, and then the port happened Tuesday at 4:15 PM. So around 30 hours + 1 phone call required to get the port to happen, which is quite slow. But since then, all good, and the customer service rep was polite and helpful. I'd definitely phone them given it's not active within 24 hours.

      • Rakddon on 13/09/2017 - 12:58

        Just got off live chat and all sorted.

        Internal issue on OVO's end

  • INFIDEL on 13/09/2017 - 18:54

    1 months after purchase - Still have 4 pending $1 "preauthorisation charges" on Commbank. Paid by a different CC after so many errors.

    Promise was refund in 24 hours!
    Bank says I can't do anything about it & must wait for OVO!

    Sent OVO an email at start of this deal, nothing happened, so have tried again…

    • INFIDEL on 14/09/2017 - 12:38

      OVO requested screenshot of bank statement a few minutes ago. A lot of hassle to fix their issue.

      Changed from Kogan $1 SIM to OVO $1 SIM 7:30 last night - actvated in minutes (not porting).

      • Maxdax on 15/09/2017 - 07:51

        Same here! Fast activation (no porting)

  • Fobsessive on 13/09/2017 - 23:14

    I had a few payment errors on one purchase before a successful order screen. In the end I had four $1's taken from my card. Hmmm…

    Ok, let me get it right. If I order today, will I be eligible for the offer ? And I have until 15/10/17 to activate ?

  • illumination on 14/09/2017 - 23:45

    I'm wondering how they enforce the 60 day activation rule. I know a rep has said it but, is it actually enforced? I wonder.

    Kinda like the Optus Starter Kit "activate within 30 days" thing too.

    • samehada on 15/09/2017 - 22:46
      +1

      You mean Optus doesn't enforce the 30d activation rule? But many ppl report the sim bought at supermarket can't be activated after 30days.

      • illumination on 18/09/2017 - 00:15
        +1

        I don't know for sure - haven't tested it myself personally.

        In fact it's mainly because I recall reading comments suggesting the opposite - i.e. you can still activate it after 30 days.

      • INFIDEL on 18/09/2017 - 20:04

        Latest Optus SIM deal does not mention 30 day activation rule, unlike earlier offers. Optus deal stated activate by late 1/18. So that 30 day rule may have been dumped by Optus.

        OVO CEO stated in this deal 60 days.

    This was a great deal. Sad that's it's over!

    Bring on the next $1 with lots of data promo :)

    • Sharp on 20/09/2017 - 13:21

      it's not over https://ovo.com.au/hotdeal

        It is over.

        The page (as you have linked) is still active and all the information is still there as if the promo is still on, but click "Buy Now" and see what the price comes up as.

    Anyone had their service automatically recharged after disabling AR? Disabled it over a week ago and just got a recharge notification :(.

  • skjaus2015 on 09/10/2017 - 22:22
    +1

    OVO seems to bit dodgy in their auto recharge. Got billed for $34.45 though had turned off the recharge option. Same happened to another of my friend and he was furious too. He too had the auotrecharge option off.Talked on Live chat but the CSR was not helpful. just cut and paste with the term and conditions. Going to ombudsman or will do a chargeback

    • shortgum on 14/10/2017 - 03:23

      Wow. I haven't got a recharge bill yet but just about half way to my 30 days. My AR button is off, so they will still charge you regardless?

      Should I change to a coles prepaid mastercard for this?

      how did you go with ombudsman?

    • drc13 on 16/10/2017 - 13:32

      I just had the same thing happen to me overnight. Disabled autorecharge as soon as I activated. Contacted OVO via chat first thing this morning and was told that I hadn't disabled it and due to T&C's they wouldn't be cancelling and refunding…. I requested a callback from a manager and haven't heard anything all day. Called them instead only to be told the manager isn't in today but will call me back tomorrow.

      Hopefully they sort it out tomorrow but being called a liar wasn't a good start!

      • yht on 16/10/2017 - 14:06

        Can we reverse charge from bank?

        • drc13 on 16/10/2017 - 15:00

          Probably but I'm hoping OVO @MattCEOatOVO do the right thing and it doesn't come to that.

  • yht on 15/10/2017 - 21:14

    Today is the last day to activate the sim, folks.

    • illumination on 16/10/2017 - 01:16

      According to rep's wording, it's 60 days.. but doesn't specify as to 60 days from what. If you go by 60 days from payment, then it depends on when you ordered it.

      For what it's worth, I just activated a SIM 5 mins ago.. and I think I ordered it on 14 Sep, so well within the 60 days.
