5  Tim M.  · Great service and love the plant a tree per month. Super cheap and great coverage.
1  What a mistake!!!  · Absolute garbage provider and service. Expect speeds of 6-20kbs as a standard during peak periods
2  Rebecca B  · Good for cheap but trash if you need to make over 2hr long phone call as it ends call after 2hrs
5  Rauz  · Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. $20 per month for unlimited data. Thank you guys you're great!
5  Rosie A.  · Great customer service, cheap good value sim esp. for international calls. Thank you Felix
5  Frederick  · Easy to join. Internet and phone works really well and I live in outer suburbs bushland. Seems like a really good deal.

Fraudulent provider, internet is very poor and the internet drops out every 20 minutes. When I first joined it was very cheap because I had a promotional offer. Strangely enough my internet was working fine then until the promotional period ended and I had to pay full price which means they are a provider that is fraudulent and not acting in good faith Show details

Worst sim provider ever! I wanted to get my e sim switched to a new device, they locked me out 7days! I cannot use my bank accounts nothing! And they never reply and whatever you say it’s always 2 business days! They shouldn’t be allowed to operate!

New phone not compatible with service, because samsung is a non well known brand. Service has been spotty for 2 years now. This is unacceptable and the lack of customer support is abysmal. Do not get this service provider as they are dodgy at best, and scungy at worst. Thank you for reading this and not supporting this company Show details

Felix Mobile has been a god send UNLIMITED DATA – Hello, this is my review of Felix mobile, the $35 a month unlimited data plan, this is a cheap alternative to Optus, Vodafone or Telstra plans that have limited data. Data plans these days are too expensive in Australia, Felix is changing that, for just $35 a month you get unlimited data for 20mbps upload and download. This has been enough for me… Read more

to stream Netflix in 4k, watch youtube in 4k, play games, with low 30ms ping times, and to make video calls. I have gone from using 10GB a month, to over 400gb! Because the speeds are limited to 20mbps upload and 20mbps download, i find I am getting really consistent speeds. You can use e-sim to signup in less than 10 minutes and tether unlimited data to your personal TV or computer!

When i signed up using JM00586 I got a free month!

I lost my phone then I couldn't verify my details automatically so needed to file a manual verificationn form with the privacy team. As my phone was lost my service was barred , I received verification , installed a new e-sim on my phone but it was still barred. Email the privacy team two days later they reply stating my service has been unbarred… Read more

but incoming services are still barred .. two weeks later and still no resolution. The service was great and I use to recommend it but now forget it .

Check my photo below , my service needs incoming services unbarred at a network level yet they recommend removing the Sim and blowing the dust away?

After having my phone stolen and getting a new unlocked phone I went back to Felix to get a new Sim only Felix rep told me I couldn't do that because they can't just cancel my acc. I had to send in proof of id to a special team and go through a bunch of red tape and wait days etc just to cancel the old unused number and get a new esim! ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS? I'LL GO ELSEWHERE! Show details

Of five main contacts from them, two were lies, one was to push a lie onto the consumer as being at fault, one was to apologise for their service failure, but one was to welcome me. No one to chat with, only a computer ️️ that didn't understand. Show details

 Follow-up  · The computer chat didn't understand the context of their written contact, where-as a person would have. The lies were that the Sim card would be sent out and a $1 test done on the credit card, BUT the Sim would not be charged until activated, crucial timing for a pensioner. No $1 but an immediate Sim monthly withdrawal leaving the pensioner with… Read more

Service doesn't exist when you need it – Really frustrated with support as there isn't any. Service worked ok for me when in Australia, had no problem at all. Holiday in Thailand , paid for international roaming and nothing worked. Had a death in family so needed my mobile to work, could… Read more

receive call/sms, but unable to call out. Support doesn't work and you end up in a bot loop. I wouldn't waste your money if you require a reliable service or support when needed. They are happy to let you know that your payment failed or card is about to expire but if you need help, they disappear. Currently l'm 48 hrs into trying to get someone to actually assist me. Look elsewhere for a better service and coverage is my advice.

 Follow-up  · Follow up questions. What about data abroad... my international roaming didn't work, so don't know about data usage. Customer ratings.... I tried using the bot, this didn't work, it just ended up in a loop or weeks, just really poor customer service. Felix only responded when l emailed australia's telco ombudsman and complained. l got a reply… Read more

All In All, A Good Network – Felix is, by far, the best for price. How can you go wrong with their price for unlimited?!? I use my phone to connect to all kinds of other devices. Sometimes the service does drop out in certain areas, which can be frustrating as I'm constantly… Read more

using the data for my job. But other than that, there's no way I'll be going back to my old telco. The unlimited price has me hooked. Plus I love how they plant a tree each month that you are with them ❤️

 Follow-up  · When the service was working, it was great. But I ended up having issues with the internet dropping out quite a bit. It happened a lot when I was home. Found out they use Vodafone towers, and I used to have issues with Vodafone too. So I ended up getting home broadband with a telco that uses Optus towers, because most days I'm at home and I need… Read more

Love love love Felix mobile. Unlimited data on your phone for $40 a month, and I believe they are running a promotion where you get $20 a month for your first 4 months. Felix has great coverage even in some difficult known blackspots where coverage is very limited or non exsistant. I've never had an issue. Love that there is an app and I can top up my Felix wallet too before bill time. Show details ·  2

Felix you are bloody legends. Ported away from Telstra in 10 minutes because they charge me way too much and can barely stream YouTube at 480p on my iPad through my hotspot. Felix with their $20, 3 month discount can stream at 1080p with no problem and call quality is great. Idk why so many people leave felix bad reviews. It was a fast smooth transfer away from $$$ Telstra $$$ Show reply

IMPOSSIBLE. DO NOT USE!!! Such a horrendous, frustrating experience. HOURS AND HOURS trying to reconnect after having old phone stolen. Their app is ATROCIOUS. Possibly designed by brain-dead chipmunks. NOTHING WORKS. Endless loops. Install, clear cache, reinstall. Still NOTHING. The SECOND I am reconnected I am LEAVING felix mobile for a different service. How is this company even functioning? They need to be shut down immediately.

I spent two days on trying to get an Esim from this company, I rang them as I did not understand how they worked. The questions were intrusive, at one stage I was asked for my password for my email, in the end I told them to delete my information and cancel my request. I noticed funds were taken from my bank account, I had to call & get it back. Do not trust this company

AVOID FELIX Internet speed is ridiculously slow. Continual lagging during downloads. Despite being connected to the internet, I receive ongoing error messages: "check your Internet connection", "not connected to the internet". Customer service is appalling: no phone contact, only a chat bot which delays connecting you to human chat. Human chat is a series of cut and paste texts. AVOID!

Misleading "unlimited-data" marketing. Customer-support driven attrition. Lengthy interactions everytime with Orgasmatron on multiple occasions. Over two hour long waiting times to speak to someone after. With no resolve. Always. Restrictions and other relevant information hidden in the terms & conditions for the "unlimited data". Including… Read more

prohibiting the use of connecting your other devices, such as a smart television, to your phone via hotspot.

The $20 a month promo for the first 3 months is void if you are late for just one payment.

Internet is at spastic-slow velocity.

I recommend you pay a little bit more of your Colonel Clink pocket money or White-Ox snout. Kids wouldn't even use this toy mobile service. Choose anything but Felix.

Terribly slow connection! I was told my internet would be fast but I haven’t even been able to open any internet tabs since porting over to Felix! Let alone use personal hotspot to watch Netflix etc. when I tried to get help, no one would answer except a bot that didn’t understand what I was asking. No happy.

Shocking!!! I tried to sign up with this provider (if we can call them that), and it has been an agonising process. I attempted to sign up with this provider over a year ago and it provided impossible to do so. I tried to get support to ask questions about what was happening, it also provides impossible to get support and I finally managed to get… Read more

my money back. Fast forward a year and some months, me being forgetful, I signed up to this poor excuse for a provider, and as usual it went smoothly until the payment was taken, after that, the same issue arose. They said my number would be ported and connected within 2 hours and I received sim activation instruction, however, the same thing happened once again. I used a link to download the app and create an account, and it would not let me and I tried the email address I provided them with to log in it wouldn’t let me. Now it is about 24 hours past the promised connection time and I am unable to get support. I messaged them via chat, many times and tried emailing to no avail. How can a garbage like this operate in Australia?

It’s wonderfully good… until something goes wrong and you actually need assistance. For a long time, Felix offered decent value and I was happy with the service, but one terrible experience completely erased all those positives for me. I had a SIM issue and needed a replacement, which required ID verification before my service could be restored.… Read more

Fair enough — I complied without issue. The problem was what happened afterward. Even after successfully verifying my ID, Felix was in no hurry to remove the restrictions on my calls and data.

I explained multiple times over several days why restoring service was urgent, but nothing was resolved. Nine days later, barring was still active.

In 2026, this process feels incredibly outdated. Another reviewer mentioned nearly losing their job because of the same issue, and I can absolutely believe it. In my case, I couldn’t receive important 2FA codes or critical messages. Being disconnected for nine days in today’s digital world is completely unacceptable.

If this had happened with a provider that has physical stores, like Telstra, it likely would have been resolved within an hour.

What disappointed me most was the apparent lack of urgency or care from customer support throughout the ordeal. I’ve since left Felix and moved to another provider. Unfortunately, this experience was a complete deal breaker for me.

You really do get what you pay for. A bargain almost always has a catch, even when everything seems great, and the catch here is customer service agents who respond like robots instead of thinking critically about the situation.

For a long time I believed Felix was awesome, and in some respects I guess that still holds true. But saving $10 a month compared to another provider simply isn’t worth an ordeal like this.

Excellent value, using as NBN replacement for a fraction of the price Combine the $40 unlimited felix plan with a cheap pocket wifi router and this is effectively a home internet replacement. Even with the maximum speed cap it's not really noticeable, and $40 is a bargain compared to any NBN plan
