Prepaid Mobile Review – Amaysim (April 2012)
I was impressed! That is probably the best way to summarise it. Over the past two weeks I have been testing my Amaysim prepaid sim card and here is my assessment: the process of ordering and paying for the sim card online was easy, the communication informative and the installation and use of the sim card a breeze. When it comes to ordering, the only minor issue I encountered was that their website defaults to purchasing their postpaid plan rather than prepaid (postpaid comes with the same pricing but the billing is monthly rather than prepaid). Once ordered, I received a few emails telling me that the sim was on its way and within a few days it arrived. What was really great was that it was already pretty much activated, so all I needed to do was install it into my phone and off we went. For the everyday user, this is the ideal situation. the week of my trial I made calls, sent txts and even accessed the net. Accessing the net required that I call their CallCentre to receive instructions, which was also a good experience and they didn’t keep me waiting very long late on a Friday evening.

After a week of calls and other activity I reviewed my spend and found the following:

Call Duration     Cost

1      192 secs        60c
2      158 secs        45c
3      278 secs        75c
4      112 secs        30c
5      371 secs       $1.05
Total 18.51 mins $3.15

Average cost per minute is 17c. Just something to be aware of when it comes to their billing, they charge for a full minute even if you only speak for part of it. The average cost per minute for my calls was 17c, as opposed to their advertised 15c (now 12c) per minute. In managing my calls, I used the online service Amaysim offers and could check my calls online. Note that records are delayed by a few days. Amaysim uses the Optus network. terms of how competitive the offer is or is not, it doesn’t offer the cheapest call rate in the market, although at 15c/min (now 12c) it comes close. You can compare the cheapest call rates here. gotalk is cheapest at the moment with 9c and there are a few providers with 10c/min. What you do receive however is no flagfall and unlimited social media access. Internet access is charged at 5c/MB.
