Because they are fuckwits. If it was cheaper, everyone would be doing it that way, and they don’t. They are fuckwits in lots of other ways too. I left amaysim for jeenee because amaysim wasn’t showing any sign of having a competitive $10 per month unlimited plan. I asked them if there was one coming and they said that there wasn’t. A month after I had moved, they announced theirs. And then the fuckers sent me an email asking me to come back, but only listing their vaya offers, the lowest of which was $16, even tho they had just listed their new $10 offer with amaysim. I've been harassing them about why I don’t get 4G on my old backup phone, the iphone 5. No one could tell me why initially, including Apple, with 3 'senior advisors' with Apple all failing to work out why, with one deciding the phone must be faulty. I eventually found out why, the iphone5 doesn’t have band 28 and optus and telstra do 4G on band 28 in most of the country. Turns out the Optus coverage thing allows you to specify your phone model and its then dead obvious why I'm not getting 4G on the iphone5 but do on the iphone6S. The fuckwits at amaysim wont even let you talk to 2nd level support until you go and get another sim from woolys, move the number to that and still get the same problem, even tho I keep rubbing their fucking noses in the fact that the new sim does 4G fine on the 6S. I keep demanding to talk to 2nd level support about it, just to see how bad they actually are. They have been supposed to call me for 3 fucking weeks now, and never do. Turns out that they have been calling the new sim, even tho I have told them to contact me on the number I get all calls on. They have just been told today that they have been calling the wrong number, AGAIN, and promised to call me on the correct number within 20 mins but havent, again. Bet the fuckers have called the wrong fucking number, again. The only reason I keep using them is because their PAYG still has some advantages with a sim that only receives calls and texts. They have just doubled their call and text and data charges on it, so the aldi sim is better value if you make a few calls or texts or data, but does require annual renewal.
