I was happy with Exetel, I had been with them for many years, but as a very low data user (1-3Gb a month) they increased my data, and price of my ExeSim Super Saver 4G plan 100% within the last 3 year period (6gb/$10 to 12gb/$20 per 30 days) and that made it no longer competitive for my needs. I am now with another provider on a 4/5g plan paying… Read more
$13.40 per 30 days with 10gb more data pcm. No brainer to move providers. I just hope my new provider is as good as Exetel once was.
Anu from Exetel support was very helpful, and quickly resolved the problem (I gave the wrong account number on a transfer from another provider). Stayed on the line until the transfer was completed successfully in a few minutes.
Proceed with caution!! So disappointing, I really liked their price point and data amount. I bought the $40 esim to try out and it worked great with the potential to port my main number over. 3 weeks into it I cancelled the service through their app as it was just a temp number, received a confirmation email confirming this etc etc. Guess what… Read more
they do, bill me again for the second month!! What makes this worse is the online support tells me to bad basically. He can’t see any issue with billing me 2 x $40 for a months service!! Tried explaining all the above but keeps falls on deaf ears. The app now shows no active service yet the sim still works, there is some serious behind the scenes issues here!!
Anyway no sorry replies from Exetel, no repair from Exetel so I'm now having to go through the bank, what a head pain Exetel!!

I changed from Aussie Broadband NBN and mobile due to an ongoing admin error on their part, only to find that Exetel’s 5G has poor coverage where I am in metro Brisbane. They advertise it as “fast, reliable mobile coverage”, which it should be, however I lose my signal and have to restart my phone or use wifi calling, which doesn’t help once I’m… Read more
away from our router. I’ve already contacted Exetel and they won’t refund me, it’s just too bad. Sorry to say that only having this service for 8 days, I’ll have to move again at the end of this month, and take my NBN service too.

Lying and Misleading Company – I gave this company ago to do my prepaid mobile service as that is what they advertise and the fact it is meant to be an Australian Company. Once I signed up I noticed they are operating as a postpaid not prepaid as I couldn't stop the auto recharge. I left the company before the month was up so I didn't get recharged for the service. Even though… Read more
I was connected to my new prepaid company I couldn't get the direct debit cancelled and their customer service which is an all-Indian call centre just transferred me from one person to another and couldn't get this resolved so now I will need to contact the Telecommunication Ombudsman. After being transferred to 4 different people I was left on the phone for over 1 hour and still didn't respond or have the courtesy to come back to the phone after putting me on hold with terrible music!!! I would not recommend exetel mobile unless you want a headache and a lot of wasted time. Avoid like the plague!!
Thanks for the feedback and we are so sorry to hear… Read more

Zeehara provided excellent support, solving a serious ongoing problem with internet connection while guiding me through my new phone. You have my vote for Exetel employee of the month! Thank you so much!! Show details
Follow-up · Exetel staffer Zeehara was able to support me to tweak my hardware to ensure it was not the problem and my connection has been better since. It's great knowing I can count on Exetel to give me the best help available. But the main problem (4G being replaced by inadequate 5G) isn't due to Exetel or my hardware, it's the dodgy quality of service… Read more

I had a query about Global Roaming. Operative Umesh Rajeev was very helpful and satisfied my query. Before Umesh answered I was on hold for almost 10 minutes while repeatedly hearing “Estimated wait time 30 seconds.
Follow-up · Roaming was easy to activate in as much as I don't recall having to do anything once I'd purchased the $50 package but you need to be very careful to switch Mobile Data Roaming OFF when not actually using it; I left it on accidentally after (ironically) switching it on to check my PAYG balance and when I checked again a couple of days later I… Read more
Just changed over to Exetel for NBN FTTP 500 Mbps plan which Exetel resolved overnight! Where I had been attempted to have OPTUS to do 6 times since December 2025! I was already on a OPTUS 50 Mbps plan on FTTN. They kept advising that they had an internal technical problem the fix for which kept going to the right. 20 years with OPTUS but the… Read more
service from EXETEL in also transferring my mobile service means that they have my business forever - particularly considering the easy prompt on line access for resolution of a couple of issues that were due to my error and misunderstandings . Mo the Bot which is the first point of contact for online trouble shooting is excellent. Very highly recommended!! Leonard A

I consistently had to reset my phone as I would not have a constant service, often not being able to receive sms, calls and my data was glitchy. Exetel customer service was poor in resolving this issue , which makes me reconsider my nbn plan also. After asking for a resolution on multiple occasions I got a response saying service use was fine ;… Read more
which was not true. This took over 2 weeks to send a non genuine response and I am severely disappointed in my experience so far..

Needed a cheap phone service, exetel does the job on and I appreciate the data banking. I can't access the exetel website or app using their mobile data. As a super busy person, it's really difficult to find the time to call for support when it's likely a fairly technical issue that's going to take time to work through. Would be helpful if they… Read more
had email support. Finally, it would be really nice if they sent their bill reminders BEFORE debiting your account to ensure you have the money there. Failed debits incur a $10 charge on your next bill so be sure to put recurring calendar reminders for your bills if you decide to join exetel.

Quickly linked to best help. Operator was empathic and patient in resolving a confusing problem, especially with clients hearing difficulties. Exetel again provided reliable service
After a frustrating live chat regarding order of a new service, I called Exetel and spoke with Zeehara who was incredibly helpful and thorough. She rectified the error made by Fritz (live chat agent), kept me on the line to make sure I received all the necessary information to process my new order and also encouraged me to follow up with her directly should I encounter any problems receiving my order. Thank you.
