Perfect data and coverage. while my visit in australia, I bought $39 for 90 Gb and connection was so good.

Telsim Are SCAMMERS!

Telsim took my money, required my passport details, and activated the service a whole month before I wanted it to start - then refused to re-set the account or refund.

BEWARE this dishonest behaviour is some of the worst I have come across in over 40 years of leading a computer business.

SCAM

SCAM - do not purchase!! I experienced very poor service. After arriving back in NZ after being abroad & purchased an e-sim on promotion via their website on the 4th November. I selected the e-sim thinking it would be the fastest method of delivery.. I then received an email confirmation that I would receive a code posted to me in the mail which would take 3-7 business days... as I selected their promo option. What a joke! This is their way to get people to purchase full price instead, as they email out a code for full price and not promo sims.
This has now taken two weeks and one day and no sign of any letter in the mail. Instead of sending me a code they have now mailed me another code which will take 3-7 business days. What a waste of time!!! It very much feels like a scam.

Telsim is a scam

I would give it less than one star if I could. Very poor coverage, customer service closes at 7pm and the only thing that ‘outperformed’ was the sales team at the airport when we arrived. We are traveling the great ocean road road and at 80% of the time we have no coverage, while other travelers have coverage. Telsim is a pure scam that sells you blue sky at the airport, k owing they will never see you again.

DO NOT BUY THEIR PREPAID PLAN

DO NOT BUY THEIR PREPAID PLAN! I had the prepaid plan for a year when I was on a working holiday visa in Australia, and thought that since it was a one time purchase, it would end once the year was over. But just a few days ago, I got a tax invoice telling me that they had taken my money for yet another year. I tried to get through customer service to get a refund, since I won’t be using the mobile plan again, and they just said that since I had auto recharge enabled, they couldn’t do a refund? This is not something I have manually done, and there was in no way any consent from me for them to do this. No email or anything, asking me if I wanted to go through with the payment. Absolutely ridiculous, and I’m beyond frustrated with this company.

Telsim had auto recharge enabled by default without user consents and took ppls money without remorse. the Australia government is not doing anything to protect the consumers. Shame on the Government leaving Telsim doing all this. i would think the government has shares with Telsim.

Bad experience. No understanding from customer support

Telsim does not support google pixel 9 pro. Before the activation process of the esim was completed, I asked to cancel my order and a refund, but support didn't help on that. They charged me for a service that I couldn't use. The list of supported devices is limited.

Awful service

Purchased a sim card, and then when I went to activate it, they told me that the email address which I have been using for the last 20 years 'is not valid'.
Then proceed to tell me I should register for a gmail account. Since when do I have to have a gmail account just to buy a sim card!
Then told me that they wouldn't give me a refund !!!!
