 AI reviews summary 

Pros
Affordable plans: Many customers praise the competitive pricing and value for money offered on mobile and data plans.
Helpful support staff: Numerous reviewers highlight individual customer service representatives for being polite, patient, and efficient when issues are resolved.
Easy initial setup: For users who do not encounter migration complications, transferring numbers and getting started is described as straightforward and fast.
Cons
Extended wait times: A subset of reviews indicates long hold times on the phone and delays when using the online chat support.
Network transition issues: The recent migration from Optus to Vodafone has caused connection difficulties, activation errors, and reduced coverage for some users.
Verdict

Overall sentiment regarding Moose Mobile is deeply divided. Many customers report positive experiences with affordable pricing and praise specific support staff for resolving billing or setup queries efficiently. However, a significant volume of feedback highlights severe frustration stemming from a recent, forced network migration from Optus to Vodafone, which has left numerous users facing extended support wait times, activation hurdles, and network coverage issues.

4 Stuart  · On hold for a considerable amount of time but Issue resolution excellent
5 Scott H.  · Yes very professional and helpful thank you. The new network is also very good.
2 pete  · This service use to be quite good, but has rapidly declined. 2+ hour wait times for customer support is ridiculous
1 Imtiaz A H.  · Use to be good.... An absolute rubbish once the network was switched on Vodafone.
1 ADG  · 5 hour wait on the first day for support, gave up in the end, 6 hours the next day. Needless to say I switched providers. Worst Telco ever, its that simple.
5 Paul Kingston  · Been a long time customer. No problem with Moose.Happy to continue being a long time customer.

This company and its call centre staff are completely unhelpful. The wait time to connect is 2 hours and then the staff member promises everything will be fine and then I had to call back 3 times (2 hour wait each time). This company is NOT for the faint hearted. You need stamina and patience beyond anything you can imagine. I’ve just found out… Read more

my service is still not working and now I’m about to go back in the 2 hour queue for more help. Please please please think very carefully because unless you have patience persistence and understanding that your issue won’t be resolved quickly this company may not be for you. See less

Migrated everyone to Vodafone without warning or consultation. Migration broke my phone for 2 days. Additional line migrations took 24+ hours. Countless phone calls, emails, and chats unanswered. Weeks later and still no response to any of my requests for help. Obvious there was no planning or preparation for the network change. Key information… Read more

was not provided before and during migration. App is largely useless, and 2FA triggers on every single attempt to view billing or profile info. Network coverage is much worse now.

The primary reason I used Moose was for the data toggle switch, which has now disappeared. Again, repeated attempts to reach support via every method and have yet to get a response. Will be moving to another provider ASAP.

I called them as the new SIM card they sent me has not been working for 3 days now. I’ve been on the phone for almost the whole day (!) to get assistance and nobody’s answering my call! So frustrating.

I've got 4 family and friends onto Moose so this migration process has been a disaster. My partner was left with her phone locked out for days, had to wait for a call back from an assistant to rectify. I've been reluctant to try as have my kids. Every time we try we have no luck, see attachment. We are now on hold on the 1300 number for an hour so… Read more ·  1

far. To top it off I've received an email from moose threatening disconnection in 5 days if I don't migrate. I might need to take these three accounts to another telco. .... I've changed my review in respect to Jonah from Moose calling today to help sort out our sim migration problems. We hope after this massive transition that the customer service would be at an acceptable standard going forward.

Well I had to port over to Kogan Mobile because for only $199 for a year they gave me unlimited free calls texts and 900GB of data for the year which is only $16.50 per month and a whole 75GB per month which is great. So sorry I had to leave. But the deal was just too good but I'm so sorry to leave you. I would recommend THIS Telco company to anyone. Your data internet speed was awesome and the data seemed to last so long. Thanks Show details

⭐️⭐️⭐️Cheapest plan I could find with a really good data plan. I don’t think anything beats free data for half a year. Customer service has been good, they know their stuff. Might even get NbN with them soon, because even there the prices are competitive. Good job Moose!

Spoke on the phone to a great bloke named Tony just last Friday. He assisted me in all my mobile needs, setting up, connecting, service, establishing a line, receiving and sending data, 5G for speed needs and 4G for back-end redundancy, storage, online services, account management, social media, and the like. I highly recommend Moose Mobile for all things Moose! Cheers guys. Morton. Show details ·  1

Noah Jones on the customer service line was very helpful and cleared up my issue - I would give five stars if I were just reviewing his work. However, this review is for Moose Mobile as a whole. I was on hold for one hour before my call was answered. Before calling customer service, I also sent an email and received an auto reply promising a… Read more

response within 48 hours, which was not upheld - I still haven’t received a response.

Moose Mobile, this is extremely inconvenient for your customers. Please increase the resources allocated to your customer service team as clearly you haven’t invested enough in that space.

They are a scam, they dont pick up calls, reply to emails nor agent is available through online chat. They charged me 27$ even though I had cancelled their service

I hardly write bad reviews but this is the worst service I ever experience. I received their new sim card said to upgrade my service. New sim card not activated due to old sim card was deactivated and not verification code sent into my mobile phone. I called for two hours each days for three days and no one answered. I use live chat for two days… Read more

by starring on my phone screen to keep myself on the live chat with repeatedly said will be serving me on next 9 to 16 minutes for 45 minutes. Tried for three days. Wrote a complaint email sent out 1130 am them received their email with text said they contacted me on live chat at 1136 am but I am offline. From 930 am live chat and has to wait till 1136 am ? I emailed them to call my new phone number twice and no one call. I cannot change over my old phone number to the other subcriber. Four days of stressed of issue. But they sent you an email for the next month phone bill.

Please stayed away. I am now still unable to get through them. You will be regretting.

Fantastic service, changed over from Optus after 30+ years, they changed my plan with an increase of over $65, I rang and complained, as I was a long term customer I was transferred to an overseas operator, who spoke to me like I was the village… Read more

idiot, told me I was a preferred customer but this was the best they could do. Changed to Moose mobile, who were excellent, worked out what would be my best plan, saved a Motza and haven’t looked back, service great, have had no problems even when overseas, excellent service. Easy to ring and speak to service personnel, no waiting on line listening to terrible music or adds, speedy response, spoke to Andrew today who was super professional and dealt with my issue quickly. Couldn’t ask for more.

 Follow-up  · Remain super impressed with Moose, have been issued with a new SIM card, and a reduction in my monthly payment, can’t say enough about what a great company this is

Thanks for your patience in dealing with my problem today Show details

 Follow-up  · Moose have changed providers. A new sim card was sent. Incomplete directions were originally sent to me. I'm now trying to get a new sim card. Hours on the phone, messages sent, chats done, emails sent. Still no response.

Daniel was amazing, he provided excellent service My call was never missed

 Follow-up  · Ever since Moose Mobile changed me over from Optus to eSIM Vodafone the service has declined rapidly. Phone drops out when on a call, the internet connection is sluggish, have to turn data off and back on to see if it will work. Phone Moose to discuss issues and no answer, then a suggestion to try chat, that doesn't work either, because the connection to the internet does not always work! So 1 - 10, will give a 2, as have nothing but issues

Have been with Moose mobile for many years have always been a great fan of the company. The most recent event where Moose went from Optus to Vodafone was maybe not a great idea but we will staying with Moose and hope coverage areas are good..

What a terrible service. Keep receiving emails saying your service is about to be disconnected if you havent update to your new sim service provider, but when it comes to the update page, always something went wrong, something went wrong, millions of times! At least be prepared well if you wanna do such big data migration!! No reply, no accouncement, no follow solutions!? Where are you?? Show details ·  3

Have been with Moose for several years with no problems until now. Received 2 new sims for the Vodaphone changeover. One phone can now only make emergency calls, the other, no landline calls or messages. Have spent approx 15hrs on hold and in the chat room this week with no success. Obviously not enough staff to handle the influx of problems. Have now gone to a provider who cares about their customers. Never again Moose! Show details

Worst mobile phone company in Australia, you wait 3 hours plus to sw someone if at all, they never answer online chat, they never reply to emails, impossible to cancel a service, as someone who worked in mobile customer service and Tek support for decades I can say these guys are a Joke!

This not one happy chappy at all. I was with Moose for entirety of Optus. Excellent. no issues or very minimal. Over 30 plus years I have only been with Telstra or Optus. As companies came out with reduced payment still using Optus and Telstra infrastructure and some good promotions, I would give it a try. I could always go back. I heard quite a… Read more

few horror stories with phone connections, payment issues, map coverage over the years.with Vodaphone Then Moose mentioned they were migrating to Vodaphone. OHHH NOO. I cringed, umm and ahhed, would i migrate. I joined on 24 July 2026, From day 1 trying to get ph calls answered, x 18 attempts. Average time was between 2hrs 2 mins and waiting on 1 call for 2hrs 52 mins, they said hello and they hung up. It was wrong data rollover promises not kept, emails ignored or sent days later, but no helpful information. Someone will contact you. still waiting Then the sim card stopped working, so no phone calls email,texts. Stranded. No landline or NBN. I tried to make ph calls and emails at free wi fi at the supermarket. Thats a cringe in itself. Still no response. As soon as i terminated Moose, a new email, within minutes ""sorry to see you go.""and welcome to come back. no way. Off their sim card folder it says Great new network, NO WAY. Improved customer portal. No way Award winning customer support. NO WAY..Moose has gone downhill fast. 3weeks was 3 weeks too long. On 15th August i changed back to Optus. So easy,reliable to transition. and i can phone email and text with no drop outs. it actually now costs me slightly less than Moose. Bonus. I rang optus today, because i forgot some information,. i waited 2 mins 49 secs including tapping keypad for the difrent, account sections, etc. now that is service.

After the change from Optus to Vodafone nothing but disaster. I have been trying to transfer my number to another provider. This has proven to be more difficult than it should be as new provider keeps saying failure due to incorrect account number &I need to verify with Moose Mobile. What a joke. No answer to phone calls, emails or online chats.It… Read more

harrasing me via snail mail, email AND phone calls. I told them to stop, im not even a customer. They said they would as its the law. Now theyre harrassing me again with phone calls AFTER i pointed out I wasnt customer and hadnt been for a long time.

What has happened to Moose Mobile. During the changeover to Vodafone it was almost traumatic. I added my new sim and could not even make a phone call. I had to go to 2 other homes so that I could call in. I must have been on their phones for about 4 hours. I then had to wait another 1 hour for a reply on a laptop ( not mine) they only answered… Read more

once I made it clear I had an elderly person staying with me. ATROCIOUS. Basically took me 7 hours all up. I still can’t get into the app it now does not recognise me email so I can’t get a new psssword. Called today another hour wasted.
