Don’t be a woose, get yourself Moose!

Good price ie switched to Moose from our previous mobile provider and saved 25% immediately without compromising service or coverage. Support staff are easily accessed by phone and queries are responded to immediately. This is a good company and I would recommend it.

HELPFUL AND VERY EFFICIENT

I've had moose mobile since 2020 and the customer service has been great.
Also because it was so inexpensive I thought I'd not get reception in smaller towns but we've found that I sometimes get reception in very obscure places where others with their telstra phones don't.

Very happy with my Moose Mobile service. Using the Optus network so coverage has been great. Apart from that one day when we thought the world had ended😆, but not Moose Mobiles fault.

I don't need much

I don't need much, but what I do need I want to be reliable and not costing me the earth. Moose fits that requirement. Actually I can't understand why so many people pay so much more money to the larger service providers for essentially the same service.

No complaints

I have not had to contact Moose for any problems or complaints, which is unusual for a telco. Pricing is affordable and the service is always there.

Original deal was great price

Original deal was great price. After 6 months price increased. I don't see Moose offering the great deal anymore. Shopping around today I can get a better deal with another provider.

The plan that works!

The great price I am paying for the amount I use my phone. Who could complain about paying $9 for 100 calls and unlimited text per month, not to mention 2 Gig of data a month whivch I didn't even go near using.
Now I am on $12.50 a month for unlimited calls, text and 6 Gig of data. For people who don't use their phones much, this plan is ideal.

Thank you.

Thank you Chris for addressing my concerns promptly. I wish your Mobile Moose Support team can do better responding to queries more professionally in the first instance. Those robotic responses from an unidentified person are not helpful at all. I really appreciate the personal follow up from you and addressing my issues very promptly and professionally.

No compensation or communication in response to Optus outage therefore I will be leaving also was problematic to switch over in first place.

Well after complaining I got 30GB of data which is ok but my partner didn't get any data until I complained 2 weeks later.

Appears no free data unless you complain, doesn't seem very ethical.

Optus coverage seems ordinary in Adelaide at the moment too.

Hi Colin,

Sorry to hear about the issues you faced while switching to Moose, although it's good to see everything worked out in the end.

As for potential compensation for the Optus outage this month, we're still negotiating what we can give to customers as Optus does not give us the same amount of data that they do to their owned usubsidiaries and their direct customers.

I'll organise for one of our friendly customer service staff to call you and organise something that I guarantee will leave you satifised.

Kind regards,

Moose Mobile Support
