Several of Australia's MVNO telcos have either collapsed or been sold off in the last few months. What could have caused such a drastic change in fortune for these businesses?
If you are looking to jump off the Kogan and Aldi mobile ships, but you want to stay on the Telstra 3G network, you may want to take a close look at CMobile.
A Federal Court injunction has offered breathing room to Kogan and Aldi customers, keeping these services alive until a court hearing in the near future.
Kogan Mobile is readying itself for the worst, making long-term plans unavailable as it awaits a court decision that will determine its future.
Kogan Mobile will soon lose the crown of Australia's cheapest telco with a price change coming into effect next month.
As we looked at in an earlier post, new prepaid offering Kogan Mobile has been heavily criticised over the past week. The telco has reportedly been refusing to renew service to customers who have used too much of what has been advertised as an ‘unlimited' voice calls and text message allowance. As a reaction to the backlash, it appears that Kogan has made a few updates to its website.
Despite a much-publicised December launch, a promise to take on the big telcos and an initial influx of customer signups, new prepaid player Kogan Mobile is already facing a backlash. It's been revealed that the company has begun unexpectedly disconnecting the services of customers on its Unlimited Access plans for the apparent crime of using their phones too much. Customers who have received ‘error’ messages when attempting to recharge their prepaid service have been informed that they have breached the acceptable use policy of their plan, and have 90 days to find a new provider and port their phone number.
You've probably seen the announcement that Aldi, the German retailing giant with a reputation for cheap prices and cheaper imitations of famous brands is getting into mobile phone plans. There's a couple of rays of sunshine in the offer, but the offer is behind where Aldi normally likes to position itself.
