Service OK
The hassle is if you have to make phone contact with PennyTel, the response to my query was, the next day call, from PennyTel. A call back is better than none! However had I known about that to start with, I wouldn't have joined PennyTel
Very pleased with service, value and coverage
Havent had any problems so far, speed and data has been working well. Would reccomend this service if you are looking for an economical service. It works well and communication is good too.
Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
Phone Reception
Very happy with phone reception and no issues with your customer service
Would like to see a hot spot service provided for ease of wi fi accessibility
I understand you use Telstra 4G & 3 G service and wondering whether their hotspot service could also be included or perhaps a similar system that you could provide to Pennytel customers
This is perfect!
I have had no trouble with network coverage and have not experienced any dropouts.
Pennytel is definitely value for money as I was paying alot more with Optus with half the data offered in plan.
Thanks for the positive review! We love hearing from our customers – especially when our services are able to make a positive difference to them.
Regards,
The Pennytel Team

Best I've had to date.
Look everything is as promised, what more can you ask for? I never used my mobile very much only turned it on when I needed to make a call. Now I use my email, log in for Covid etc.
Good all round provider.
Simple changeover to Pennytel taking my number with me. Chose to use the Telstra network through Pennytel. Very happy with price while having the best coverage. It worked out to cost me half the cost I had going through Telstra.
Really happy with them as a provider.
Pennytel are fine as a provider, and generally Telstra's coverage around Australia is good, except for my home on the Sunshine Coast where I'm lucky to get half a bar signal. The neighbour has complained to Telstra so many times he has lost count but nothng has improved.

Great phone plan
So far so good no problems with reception. Price is good and the reception is always very helpful. However I have tried many times but I still cannot log in. That is my only complaint.

Cheryl
Once again please correct the spelling of my name. CHERYL not SHERYL.

Great value and service
The network coverage is always reliable and there are no problems with large downloads. I love that you can reach someone locally and easily in Customer Service. I would highly recommend switching from those big-name and pricey Telcos to Pennytel!
Pleased to join Pennytel
Since joining Pennytel we have not had any problems with Perth Metropolitan area coverage or coverage as we have traveled in rural areas south & east of Perth WA
Our plans includes more GB's for a much lower cost than offered by our previous major carrier so our direct debited charges per month are much lower. We have not needed to purchase any extra data. Customer service speaking to an Australia based Call Centre has been excellent

Best value ever
Best coverage I've ever had, you just can't beat the price for a low usage user like me where as my last low cost supplier meant very low coverage and frequent drop outs

Great service
Switched from Telstra to Pennytel and saved almost half for a very similar plan. Have not had any drop outs and speed is fine. Customer service is great.
No issues with coverage
Why use the big company's
I have been with Pennytel for 3 months now with no drop outs or coverage problems. Living in regional and traveling Victoria I am impressed. I would recommend using Pennytel.
Cheaper alternative to the bigger companys
Was on a 64GB data with telestra not needed Changed to Pennytel 3GB data which is ample for my usage No problem with speed or coverage
Rates are good variety of data options

Excellent Company
I switched to Pennytel after many years with Telstra.I found the plan I am on now with Pennytel a is a great savings. Uses the same network .I would like to say I found communication with Pennytel is far superior to a lot of the bigger companies.
I did a over payment by Bpay and It was no hassle getting the problem sorted.
I don't think you would find a much reliable or honest company
Best Decision I made.
I was looking for a fast reliable and cheap Internet Provider. The service is really fitting my needs in term if using mobile phone. I found it through PennyTel. I love the service.
Thanks...
My Experience with Pennytel
I am about to leave Pennytel. Their phone response time is excellent and extremely helpful.
The only problem I had was that I was previously with Optus on a 1 GB data plan.
I found that with Pennytel the 1 GB data limit was insufficient and each month I had to request a top up, which I add was extremely prompt. I can't explain that the 1 GB plan was sufficient however not with Pennytel.
Very satisfied, living up to expectations
All working well, no problems. So glad I decided to switch from Telstra to Pennytel. Customer service is always helpful, polite and thorough. Also nice to hear an Aussie accent. Well done!
Very efficient service
Our network coverage has been good. The data downloads are ok. There have been no frequent dropouts.
When your help has been requested, you have given it in a friendly, efficient way.
perfect for my needs not one complaint
no complaints travelled all over perth and mandurah with complete cover very competive price i know exactly what my cost is each month and dont get hasseled by anyone unlike my previous provider

Great Mobile, Shame About The Extra Date Cost
Mobile service is really good and reliable being part of the Telstra network. Price for the small plan is very competitive and matches, if not beats most of the competition. Downside: The charge $10 for 1 gigabyte of extra data which is the same as the monthly plan. Most telcos charge the same but do they realise what customers think of the cost? $10 per extra gigabyte is taking advantage of the customer.
Very happy with the service!
I was always with Telstra and decided to move to Pennytel and haven't looked back! Great service & will try to get you more clients. Telstra was to expensive for 2GBs.
