Customer service was very rude and…

Customer service was very rude and refused to deal with problem after 8pm ( I rang in before 7.30 and I waited 20 mins for the lady, she went to get conditions for reading to me). When she came back to me. I can tell she read the conditions in slow speed then after 8pm she made excuse that she can't address my request otherwise the system will lock me out. I didn't believe her and ask if she doesn't want to solve my problem because the time is after 8pm, she said yes. She locked my mobile number and ask me to call back tomorrow. What a ridiculous customer service.

Do not use Kogan, the savings are not worth the lack of support


I recently signed up for a 365-day pack with Kogan Mobile for my business. I previously transferred my personal number and that was a headache, unfortunately this was even worse.
The porting process was clunky and delayed on both occasions. Kogan blamed Apple for the issue.
This second time round, I am currently waiting for my ID to be verified for a second eSIM just to get connected.

I’ve switched providers multiple times before from TPG, iiNet and Felix. Those platforms made everything so much easier. Transfers were automated through an app, and I never needed to speak to anyone. In comparison, Kogan’s process is cumbersome, slow, and poorly supported.

For the price, the lack of straightforward systems and decent customer service makes it not worth the effort. I would not recommend Kogan Mobile.

Extremely concerning experience

Extremely concerning experience with Kogan Mobile; not just poor service, but serious security issues.
During a recent support call, I completed identity verification and the representative clearly confirmed my details (including my date of birth) were correct. However, partway through the same call, she suddenly claimed my date of birth was “incorrect” and refused to proceed.
This means that in a single conversation, my identity was both accepted and rejected using the exact same information. That raises major concerns about how their verification process actually works, and whether customer accounts are being handled securely or consistently.
As a result of this situation, I am now locked out of my own account because they say the email and date of birth on file is “wrong,” leaving me unable to access my service or even transfer my number to another provider.
On top of that, the representative was dismissive, repeatedly interrupted me, and refused to provide clear answers.
This is a worrying lack of reliable identity and account security processes. I will be switching providers as soon as I am able to regain access to my account.

Shocking customer service

Shocking customer service, spent 30 minutes talking to someone on chat who was unable to help me find my invoices, asked me for many forms of identification and their solution was to contact my bank. before i eventually found the invoices link myself hidden on their website dashboard...

Bad communication and service

Needed a replacement sim due to lost sim.
Promised in 24 hours, then 48 hours, 5 days and still no sim swap. This is rediculous, with many phone calls and always being told another 24 hours and then another 24 hours. Complaints dept don't answer the phones and then states leave a message and we will get back to you in 24 hours. NOT ACCEPTABLE. It seems our business is not important to this company.

Absolute worst experience

I am extremely disappointed with the way this issue has been handled so far. Activating a SIM should be so easy to do but yet they keep asking me to verify my ID. It's like being stuck in an infinite loop.

I have been repeatedly passed between support channels without any meaningful progress. Despite verifying my identity multiple times, I am continually sent back to the care team and asked to repeat the same process. This is now the fourth time I have been asked to verify my identity for the same unresolved issue.

At this point, it is unclear when this process will end or when any real effort will be made to resolve the problem. I am paying for a service that is not functioning, and the ongoing delays and lack of accountability are unacceptable. I've had this account for 7mths. I guess they are just waiting for the time to run out.

WORSE SERVICE EVER

This has been a nightmare for me. its my second year using their service line. All along i have had the worse customer service experience with them. Recently my line is up, so i bought a new bundle early, like two weeks early and they immediately started my new bundle (365 days) early by two weeks. which i called the customer service and told them that they have taken 2 weeks off my old bundle by starting my new bundle immediately. they said that I should've have started the bundle and i said there were simply no instructions on their site or whatsoever. who knew that starting early would get the bundle time reduced? and the staff was just super rude kept arguing with me and reluctantly gave me back that two weeks. Then I've changed a new phone and learned that in order to switch my eSIM to the new phone i have to purchase a brand new eSIM on their site, which I did, and called the customer service to do the port over. Just when I thought everything was okay and going smoothly... They port over my service to the new phone but my number has changed. My old number is linked to my banks and other accounts which requires OTP and now I'm stuck with this new number, tried calling their customer service for two days straight and they are still not picking up. simply the worse company i've ever used. I swear i will switch service when my bundle is up. I will NEVER use koganmobile again. bullshit service

horrible Customer support

horrible Customer support. If u face any problem after getting a KOGAN Mobile SIM. just throw the SIM into the bin & buy a new one. You may find GOD once, but KOGAN is hard to reach.

Zero star

Zero star! Activation instruction is not clear enough. Could easily make mistake and loose everything you paid. No way to contact customer service! No email address! I have tried called 126120multiple times. Every time about 1 hour wait still noone answered. Only the repeated voice recordings. Stay away!

If I could give zero stars

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Kogan Mobile has been a complete nightmare from start to finish.

All I wanted to do was a simple eSIM transfer to a new phone. What should have taken 10 minutes has turned into a 2-week ordeal that is still not resolved.

I have wasted hours of my personal time and thrown money down the drain dealing with their incompetence.

First, the eSIM transfer failed completely.

I paid for a new eSIM as instructed—that also failed.

Then, their support told me to go out and buy a physical SIM card. I did that, and they still couldn't get it to work.

I actually managed to get their support team on the phone, which is a miracle in itself, but they were useless. They explicitly admitted they "could not spot the issue." They have no idea how their own system works.

I am now leaving Kogan immediately. Do not be tempted by the cheap prices—you pay for it with your sanity. Kogan is a complete waste of time and money.

Pros: None. Cons: Incompetent support, faulty technology, wasted money, weeks of stress.

Don’t buy a Sim of them

The same wouldn’t work contacted customer care. I had a email reply from a woman called Nicky. She told me to prove it. It didn’t work. Couldn’t prove it because how do you prove that Sumit didn’t work and I still haven’t had a refund. I will never use Kogan again for anything.

plan renewal

I could not work out how to renew my plan and called kogan three times asking the wrong questions. Regardless of my pestering the customer service was super efficient and helpful. I didnt have to wait on hold for even a minute and my questions were answered immediately.

I unfortunately bought a mobile phone…

I unfortunately bought a mobile phone through Kogan Mobile / Nu Mobile in September 2024 within seven weeks it started to play up and not work properly, I have been through hell with this grubby company DO NOT USE, they don’t have a complaints dept that helps, no phone number to talk and ignore you on these stupid ticket emails they send, 12 months of monthly payments for what!
I now don’t trust the Kogan brand and even got ignored from the founder of the company when I personally reached out to him,
It seems they only care about making money and getting good customer experiences.
