Failed Recharge on Everyday Mobile (formerly Woolworths) with Old Prepaid Plan

Hi all,

I am on the old long-expiry plan with Everyday Mobile (with 10% discount on one monthly shop) with auto-recharge. Just received the notification it failed to recharge but my payment details are up-date, so not sure why it failed.

I tried to recharge manually, it seems I would lose my old plan.

Anyone experience something like this before? I will try to contact them on Monday but damn it is annoying.

  • Is the Exp eg 03/25 and the CVV on the Card current?

    • Yup, CC details are correct and not expired.

    Looks like grandpa has died. Your grandfathered plan has come to an end.

    • Brutal

    • Seems like that but the email I received outlining the changes suggested my plan would be grandfathered as long as I had auto recharge enabled.

      Looks like I will be losing all my rolled over data 😕

      • I only say that the grandfathered plan has been killed off because users in the other thread have said that's what they've been told.

      • Oh no, your auto recharge had an "unexpected" issue and disabled. oh no… too bad

        • I don't get the point of your tone or your comment.

          My auto recharge setup was valid and the old plan was pretty good. Not sure why I should be disadvantaged because of an error on their side.

          At least the comments trying to assist and contributed meaningful points.

            @am0i: If saying the error was on purpose from their side to kick everyone off the old grandfathered plan.

    Just copied this from Whirlpool
    "got a message that there's a technical issue with auto-recharge and they won't be able to do the grandfathered prepaid recharge on one of our mobiles tonight. It says they extended the plan for 5 days and will do the auto-recharge then. Looking at the app it still shows that it expires tonight. Hopefully nothing stuffs up. I was planning to use the 10% off on Monday.
    EDIT: I just checked again several hours later and it now shows the 5 day extension on the mobile app.

    • Hi there,

      Thanks for the input.

      I was finally able get it to auto recharge with my old plan. I had start a chat with with an agent through the app and tell them the problem.

      Even though my CC details were valid, I had update tthe payment details with the same CC details and the agent was able to initiate a recharge on their end. The amount was deducted then and there but I lost my banked data. The agent said they raised a technical support ticket to hopefully get it resolved.

      All in all, I was quite an easy process and the agent was helpful. it seems to be an issue on their end that auto recharge isn't working properly.

    Hi my recharge failed a few months ago as I'd gotten a new card but forgot to update details

    I just put in a new card detail, didn't click manually recharge and it then autorecharged and kept me in the old plan

    • Fair enough, I just didn't want risk losing my number and didn't know initially it would immediately to auto recharge once you update your payment details.

  • I have multiple grandfathered Everyday Mobile 365 day plans amongst my relatives that have gone through this recharge issue over the last 2 months.

    • 2 numbers in the same account, expiring on the same day — one auto-recharged fine, and another one failed. I re-saved the payment details, and it then auto-recharged the grandfathered plan ($170 365 days). It was back in late Feb.
    • One of my daughters' number in a different account expired in early March failed auto-recharge. However it would not recharge with the old plan and I have to pick from the newer more expensive ones.

    It's a mess.

    • Seems the auto recharge isn't working properly at times. I was able to recharge with my old plan by starting a chat with with an agent through the app.

      It's kinda annoying as I didn't want the new plans (don't use that much data) and it's unfortunate you had go down that path.

  • I did not have auto recharge turned on but want to keep my current (grandfathered plan $170 365days), I was unable to enable auto recharge in the app or desktop as it forced me to select a new plan.

    I started a chat with customer service and they flat out said I can't recharge a discontinued plan.

    Has anyone been successful with a workaround or is it dependant on the support rep willingness or knowledge to make it work?
