    Humm.

    Just tried a password reminder on the second account since the login details supplied wouldn't work.

    Looks like their database is a little screwed. :(

    OK. I'm managing to bodgie this thing up and get things happening to some degree.

    Looks like my main need will be to get them to fix the lack of registration numbers on the Freedom account.

    Make sure you have allowed the MNF site in any 'no-script' plugin you are running!

    I have two accounts.

    The login details worked fine for the first but not the second.

    I reloaded the page several times. Eventually the password reminder script on their site worked and I was able to get in.

    I've worked most of it out. I have both accounts working on one device each.

    I will have to wait till they add the 3 extra device registration numbers that they forgot on my main Freedom account (Hopefully tomorrow) then I can set everything else up. But for now I have both our DID's registered for incoming calls at both of the two houses. So at least we have incoming again.

    It has been a bit of a trying time of late.
    I have been rushed with dealing with my father having a stroke and tripping in and out of Brisbane etc and then now getting him home.

    Worst time to be without phones.
    To add to the drama we have also been dealing with NBN and Optus F' ups as well for months on end.
    We usually have an Optus LL DID as well.. Not worth getting into but I hope to get it all sorted soon.

    I will have to run Dad's Optus DID through a Fritzbox 7390 ATA for incoming only and filter calls going out via the MNP PT Freedom Plan but block Mobiles.

    This has all come about due to NBN not supporting two different account holders or LL numbers at the same address. So we had to combine accounts into one and loose a line.

    But I guess that's for another thread ;)

    My migrated PT to MNF account says Triggered Topup level is -AUD135 (yes negative 135).

    Is that what other people have? Seems like people are not seeing the minus sign. If it is truly is -135 then they are extending us a lot of credit!

    One of our original MNF accounts with auto-payment has AUD5 (yes POSITIVE 5) triggered top-up with a $10 current top up level (set by emailing support). Another original MNF account says AUD5 (yes POSITIVE 5) triggered top up level but no auto payment set up.

    My migrated PT to MNF account has no option to set triggered top up. I don't think you can set it (even in the account where I have it enabled).

    Hi There,

    I have further investigated this and it seems to be a bug, our software team are currently working on this to get this issue resolved.

    Whether it shows -135 or 135 for example a triggered top up is the point at which your balance falls below before a top up of the level you have nominated will occur.

    I.E
    Trigger top up $5.00
    Top Up Level $10.00

    Call costs $2.90 and puts your balance at $4.93 this will trigger an auto top up of $10.00

    I hope this clarify's some things with you all.

    Thanks,

    and I have just waited 30mins again for MNF support as no reply to my ticket.
    I was told this time that the 50 sms credit gets topped up at start of billing period so for me that is in 2 days.
    I was misinformed last time, (they just told me) when I waited another 30mins on the phone to be told it is "at the start of each calendar month."

    So hopefully it will be topped up in 2 days. Will update...:-)

    What about the missing $5 debit from our Pennytel accounts that was not transferred to our MNF accounts.
    i.e. some of us have been debited twice for the month.

    Hi There,

    From what i can tell. please advise if different the reasoning is for below.

    You were invoiced by PT for you service charge. Then debited by MNF again. In this case it is because MNF charge service charges a month in advance as per our terms and conditions and your CIS statements.

    Thanks,

    I Hope this is abit easier to understand,

    As most service providers MNF charge a month in advance. This is like many service providers these days. PT billed at the eve of each calendar month for both service and usage charge. This is a one off and will not occur in future.

    Thanks,

    Still can't get my head round this � end July I had $8 plus in my PT Account and -$5 in MNF.
    OK I get I should "owe" MNF for July but surely the $5 PT took from my account before $3 was added to my MNF account "pays" for the -$5.
    i.e. both accounts were active albeit one, PT "unusable", but only one account should have incurred a charge.

    Are the credit balances from PT meant to be have transferred by now or are they still in progress?

    My PT account still has credit on it, but MNF is showing a debit balance. I don't mind if the transfers haven't all been completed yet, but if they're finalised then there's a prob with my account.

    Is there a way to set a max topup level per month? (either # of topups or $ value).

    What if my account gets hacked and toll fraud occurs, MNF will keep debiting my credit card $10 over and over and over?

    If you are worried about that, just do what I do and pay by BPay. As long as you check your balance from time to time and keep it high enough for your usage, you shouldn't have any problems. If you want to remove your CC details from the MNF portal, you need to contact MNF support as it can't be done via the portal.

    ..................................

    I hope this clarify's some things with you all.

    Sorry Corey it does not make it clear that MNF will not keep debiting my CC, with the Topup amount until the balance exceeds $135. I don't know who English Syntax checks the words on the webpage but they remain very confusing.

    I should be able to easily set a level, which below a top up is triggered, and the amount that the top up is. I can't see many people wanting to load MNF $135 on a permanent basis.

    Please can you provide better explanation and/or get the Web page sorted.

    See https://www.pennytel.com.au/downloads/critical-information-summaries/personal-voip-freedom.pdf

    1. Billing:
    PennyTel�s billing cycle starts on the 1st of
    each month and ends on the last day of the
    same calendar month. During each billing
    cycle, the plan fees, call charges and other
    related costs will be made available to you via
    the PennyTel Portal at
    www.mypennytel.com.au. At the end of the
    billing cycle, you are billed for all unpaid
    charges and fees incurred during the billing
    cycle.

    So when I get a June invoice it includes "all unpaid charges and fees incurred during the billing cycle" and as this is prepaid the closing balance has already had the plan fees for June deducted.

    So when MNF and Pennytel charge me a plan fee for July and then transfer the Pennytel balance reduced by the plan fee for July, I have been charged the plan fee for July twice.

    Please adjust the amount transferred and properly account for the amount transferred i.e. nothing in MNF portal to show balance transferred and no invoice from Pennytel showing adjustments to the closing balance on the June invoice.

    Yes my account has been charged twice also for July once by Mynetfone on 8 July and once by Pennytel on 27 Jul

    Pennytel should have never charged the $5 for then Freedom account and all would be fine.

    The 2 charges refered to by Corey on the invoice for MNF are fine one for July and one for August we all understand the 1st invoice would have 2 fee's BUT

    There is no justification of why they can charge the PENNYTEL fee for JULY before the balance transfers were done.

    The MyNetaFone Invoice is very detailed and shows all charges and credits of course the CREDIT from Pennytel is $5 short of what it should be.

    Lets hope Corey can have this looked at it is not about the 2 charges by MNF but The PENNYTEL last charge after we stopped using the accounts at the end of JUNE.

    So when MNF and Pennytel charge me a plan fee for July and then transfer the Pennytel balance reduced by the plan fee for July, I have been charged the plan fee for July twice.

    The same issue happened to me as well. I have had $10 dollors or so credit in my PT freedom account with ADSL service tpgether. Pennytel charged me services fees $5 + $44.99 = $49.99 on July 13 and July 14. Now it shows I have negative $39.xx credit. This resulted in no credit transferred to my new MNF account at all. So Pennytel/MNF has eaten my $10 credit in my PT freedom account.

    Hi,

    What is the process for getting issues resolved?

    • Email support does not respond (apart from automated email which said I'd get a response in 24-48 hours. Its been over 2 weeks now)
    • I can't get through to phone support at any time of the day.

    I got an email from Pennytel with an account number back in June but have heard nothing since, apart from receiving an invoice for $0 from mynetfone.

    I can't login to the MNF portal as I don't know my password. I can't reset the password either as it says my date of birth doesn't match.

    My pennytel voip service has been removed but logging into the pennytel portal shows I still have an account balance of $59.

    As already said, you can recharge with BPay.

    You can also have a credit card registered and not have auto-top up.
    Then you can dial 151 from your service to top up when it gets low (min $10).

    Note 151 has no security on it, so anyone in your house can do a $50 top-up if they know how. I don't know what the max is, but my wife has done a $50 top up before :-(

    There are two types of auto top up.

    • Triggered Top-up where it tops up if the balance falls below a certain level.
    • Monthly top-up where it will top up to your specified level once a month only. More fraud resistant.

    just copy and paste of a whim i sent 5'th July:

    Hi Corey,
    My PT to MNF transfer has gone well (touch wood) the only thing that concerns me is the billing side of things.

    With my ADSL service $44.95 was charged to my credit card on 16/6/17 as per my credit card statement and pennytel portal history.

    so to my knowledge i have prepaid my broadband up until 16/7/16 however in my MNF portal i have $-44.95 balance with next billing date 9/8/16.

    i would understand having -44.95 balance if my "next billing date" was 16/8/16 as this balance would represent my next payment due so it this some kind of prorata error made in trying to align my account with MNF billing cycle ?

    my account username is 61362814720

    Thanks in advance,

    Question 1) Assume I have more than one MyNetPone account that were both migrated from PT. Can someone tell if I can contact them to merge the two accounts as one (and having credits added together)?

    Question 2) In the PT days with the $5 per month freedom plan and for my own reasons I can suspend the plan by changing it to the "PT untimed" plan. After one month of suspension I can freely resume the PT $5 (for 280 calls) per m plan.

    After the migration I notice my MyNetPone voice service plan is being called "PT Freeedom". Can someone tell me if I can do the same (suspend at the end of the month and resume after two months for example) ?

    The questions might have been asked but I'm sorry as presumably it will take too long to search for the right answers.

    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Wow, out with the true blue Aussie racism. People say some crazy shit when their pissed off and not thinking straight.

    Now I have really refrained from joining in this shitstorm of negativity. But I have to say something...

    I was an ex-pennytel customer and filled out all the opt in emails as soon as I got them. And guess what... My VoIP service migrated exactly as I was advised (apart from the slight delay from the 1st to the 5th of July). Additionally, I have three mobile services with PennyTel and again, got the new portal login URL and account number with all services working fine.

    I get it. You guys are pissed off. But getting all high and mighty with abusive comments just makes you look like a fool (especially people who have created an account for this purpose).

    @Cory and MyNetFone staff, don't let the toxic oppinions get to you. There are people who appreciate your efforts, but unfortunately you're caught in the middle of something out of your control. Customers can be Royal assholes sometimes and forget they are talking about other human beings. Wishing all you guys the best of luck because I know I couldn't handle this (I've been in telco for many years).

    Now I'll go back in my corner and watch from afar.

    Hi all,

    I hope someone can help me with here.

    I have received email containing Web login details for MNF and the VoIP settings.

    I am able to login to the Web portal but when I configure my VoIP router with the settings provided its not connecting. I assume the username is the MNF username provided and not the Pennytel 6138684xxxx.

    Another issue is that the Pennytel balance has not been migrated yet. This is not a big issue as I have transferred some money via bpay to mnf account.

    I hope someone can point me in right direction.

    Thanks.

    Yes, you can. Someone reported their accounts have already been merged. I applied a few days ago by email but the merger has not happened yet. [MyNetFone Ticketing #1035495] According to the automated email, they should respond within 24-48 hours but this is not what actually happens.

    When you click on Change Plan in the portal, only regular MNF plans are offered. You cannot change to another PT plan nor a WP plan such as Whirlpoolsaver. MNF has not made it clear whether you can do this by contacting them or whether we are stuck with what we have got. I suspect it is the latter.

    Neither does there seem to exist a way of suspending a plan and then resuming it. I used to change between Neosaver and Whirlpoolsaver, but, with the migrated PT plans, this does not seem to be possible. There is very little flexibility here compared with the WP plans (WPS and Neo).

    plan rolled over, got invoice for month, money from PT transferred and 50 sms's added.
    A bit hard to understand all the charges etc but I am sure next month will be simpler to understand once in full swing.
    All good thank you

    In last days of June i credited $10 into my pennytel account so i would have enough credit in the transfer. Seems like my pennytel account kept charging me $5/month & at same time mynetfone charged me $5/month as well & has eaten up my credit. I was credited $0:42 so now i am in debt to mynefone -$9:58 So i will have to pay again. I sent a ticket in a few days ago i still haven't heard from them. Just transfer bugs,

  • Benolam

    PT credit has come across finally.

    I don't want to add credit card information to my account and therefore will not be using triggered topup, will pay by BPay when needed.

    Is it possible to get a low balance alert sent from MNF?

  • Paulo

    MNF/Pennytel reps
    We've had no success so far transferring either of our accounts to MNF despite having done all the steps.

    One account has failed to transfer the DID, is in negative balance and adding credit card details just generates system errors.

    Another account also seems to be failing to configure properly and we're having major problems with all accounts getting either invoices from the pennytel accounts (corruption in your database I presume) or getting MNF set up right. Pennytel port is also inaccessible for an account and password reset facilities are broken.

    Have spoken to support, have emailed again and again and support from either company hasn't done anything.

    We've now lost services for one critical account.

    Appreciate if anyone representing either of the two companies (PennyTel or MNF) could please reach out by private message and sort out the mess as TIO is only other option I can think of to get progress. My parents are currently without a phone service from either of your companies.

    My PennyTel credit still hasn't come across.
    I want my credit card removed from their system.
    I was told I would get billed next on 3rd September yet on 4/8 MNF took $40.35 from my account.

    This is the problem, and when you get them on the phone they say they are going to look at it and nothing occurs then you can't get them to respond again.

    I think we were also being doubled billed the monthly charges on both systems with no active service but as I said cannot even log into the pennytel system to see what is going on and no one responds from their companies.

    Tonight, I found a reply to my merging request in my Gmail spam folder. I rarely check this folder and it was only because I was looking for another email that I found it. The 'from' address was . Don't know why Gmail thought it suspicious. Gmail is usually pretty good at sorting the wheat from the chaff.

    Anyway, James said that, unfortunately, there has been a delay for my request regarding the merging. He goes on to say that their engineers are currently looking into it as the main priority and are working on a solution to speed up the process. He apologised for the inconvenience and promised to give me an update once the solution has been found. He also thanked me for my patience.

    I had to call yesterday about billing. I did this on my lunch break around 2PM AEST and got through within 15min.

    I figured it's a bit silly calling during peek hours, and they're obviously struggling with the influx of calls.

    I suggest if you don't want to be on hold for a long time, call first thing in the morning (they open at 8AM) or maybe try when I did (~2PM).

  • icanfly

    is anyone else seeing when you hover over triggered topup that this will occur only when your balance is -$135!!

    I have had this since the beginning but also my service wasn't migrated properly as it told me when I tried to call myself user was not available even though i was registered and had dial tone

    Was told once service fixed and could call myself which I can now this would be fixed so I can trigger topup when service is like $5 but still broken.. dont want to bother calling and waiting for an hour again and check here first :)

    Yes there will be a communication on completion. However i assume it would be along the lines of "the migration has been completed" or something along those lines.

    Hi There,

    We have had a meeting today regarding this,

    In short we have had a hold up with those who have accepted but not been migrated yet. They will commence again in batches next week. So please do not worry if you have not been migrated yet (as long as you have accepted Ts and Cs) as your service will not be affected if you are still running on the old infrastructure in the mean time.

    Regarding the -135 or 135 software issue in portal this is being addressed and i will provide an update when this has been fixed. In the mean time i suggest setting a monthly top up/invoice top up option and having additional credit in your account in the mean time.

    Regarding customers being double charged this has been addressed and i thank you for those who have sent me there examples. We are currently investigating what has gone wrong so we can stop this happening in future and once the problem has been prevented we will take on a reactive approach and apply credits where need be.

    On behalf of the MNF Group and all staff we thank you for your patience and loyalty throughout this period as i understand some of you maybe frustrated with the migration process and although some of you may not have had the most pleasant experience in your transition to MNF. We will endeavor to make improvements on this as we can/see fit.

    Thanks,

    I've also been migrated, and after quite a lot of false starts and having my password constantly changed, I can now make calls using MyNetFone. However MNF is is the second provider on my Minitar MVA11A ATA, and I have forgotten how to swap it to position 1. At the moment if I want to use MNF, I have to dial 2* first, but this precludes me from dialling out using the phone's inbuilt Address Book. I suppose the Minitar is a bit "pass�" but it still works well and offers fallback and stuff like that. Can anyone remember how I move MNF to being Provider 1 and move my current Providerl to Provider 2?

    You'll have to log into the MVA11A's interface, and go to SIP settings, and manually enter your new MNF settings into Realm1 and the other provider's SIP settings into Realm2. (Overwriting the existing SIP details min each case.)

    You'll need to have your SIP username, SIP password, and SIP URI's (domain/proxy) at hand for this.

    I set divert to voicemail after 40 seconds on MNF website and instead of going to VM it disconnected
    I changed it to 30 seconds and it was all fine.

    Is there a setting in my ATA that is causing it to disconnect after before 40 seconds which is why the divert to voicemail failed as I thought this was all controlled by the server side. Hence where it allows you to change the delay on server side.. Will ring to my ATA for 40 seconds and if no answer, should divert to voicemail at MNF

    I used the PT/MNF portal to get a DID and ignored the $30 charge thinking ( hoping) it would revert to $5 when the transaction completed. It didn't so I cancelled the DID but the $30 debit remained. Emailed support and 2 days later got a reply to say the $30 had been credited and saying if I still wanted one they would do it for me for the WP fee of $5.

    Hey everyone.

    Would anyone have a "backend" contact to MNF? Three weeks ago, I tried to add a CC on file for auto top-ups. But their system wasn't able to process it and advised me to contact them.

    I did so multiple times but nothing has been done :(
    Then they send me that me a warning that if I don't top-up, they'll remove my account.

    It's a bit of a catch-22: I want to give them money but they don't want to take it...whilst at the same time, they're threatening to remove my account...

    I have setup the new MNF details and it registers, but the old PennyTel details register as well.

    If I have both SIP accounts registered and call the DID with the PenyTel account, it starts raining almost immediately. If I disable the old PT SIP account and call the DID, there is a delay of around 30 seconds before the phone starts ringing. Most people would simply give up before the phone starts ringing.

    What should I be doing? Is the fact the the old PT SIP account is registered holding up the transfer?

    As an existing MNF customer, I know of no facility to suspend a service.

    It has been stated earlier that you can't switch to a PT migration offers after the transfer; you can only switch to a currently available MNF offer. Hence you couldn't switch to a fee-free offer and then back to PT Freedom after 2 months.

    I think the earlier email (back in mid-July?) said the credit transfer would occur by the end of July. I am not too worried by the delay, but if MNF can advise all affected of a revised date this could help clear some confusion...

Yet, in my case, I have had to email a screenshot and was told that they may be able to do it manually or they may have to wait until all these double charges are resolved in the accounts system.

    merging of old and new MNF

    I asked about this as well � (when you've got them on line might as well make the most of it). :)
    The rep said to me it's not my department but I will raise a support ticket for me.
    I am anticipating some drama because the account christian names are different (Bill and William).

    So I know I'm getting old but stuffed if I can figure out this PT/MNF invoicing and ongoing charges.

    On 22 July and 3 August I was billed $5.00 by PennyTel for the Freedom plan. Late July I cancelled my MNF PT Freedom account and received confirmation on 27 July that the account was cancelled. On 10 August I receive a $5.00 invoice from MNF for August service charges for MNF Freedom which is already cancelled (with 0 days to pay).

    My PT balance wasn't transferred to MNF, PT are still taking $5.00 for the PT Freedom account which I migrated to MNF but later cancelled, and MNF are still charging me for a cancelled account. What a mess. Next it'll be the debt collectors for the unpaid $5.00 MNF account � I hope not.

    Make sure you take a screenshot of the Pennytel Payment History page while it is still accessible. Once access to the PT portal is denied, it will be more difficult to dispute these charges. I suggest you collect all the evidence at hand (screenshots, copies of emails, etc.) and email it to . You'll have a ticket number to fall back on in the unlikely event the amounts are disputed and you need to go to the TIO.

    Already done that, I got a screen shot of my PT balance as it was back in June too. I also emailed MNF last Thursday but no reply yet.

    Hi There,

    We have had a meeting today regarding this,

    In short we have had a hold up with those who have accepted but not been migrated yet. They will commence again in batches next week. So please do not worry if you have not been migrated yet (as long as you have accepted Ts and Cs) as your service will not be affected if you are still running on the old infrastructure in the mean time.

    Regarding the -135 or 135 software issue in portal this is being addressed and i will provide an update when this has been fixed. In the mean time i suggest setting a monthly top up/invoice top up option and having additional credit in your account in the mean time.

    Regarding customers being double charged this has been addressed and i thank you for those who have sent me there examples. We are currently investigating what has gone wrong so we can stop this happening in future and once the problem has been prevented we will take on a reactive approach and apply credits where need be.

    On behalf of the MNF Group and all staff we thank you for your patience and loyalty throughout this period as i understand some of you maybe frustrated with the migration process and although some of you may not have had the most pleasant experience in your transition to MNF. We will endeavor to make improvements on this as we can/see fit.

    Thanks,

    Corey

    Agreed . It must be hard with so many pestering you about a few dollar of charges and when this and when that will happen but hang in there .Its bad enough reading all the whinges without having to address them politely.

    As of the moment i am not reversing any double charges, as this will be done automatically and this will put a bug in the script as we will have no way to tell who and when were credited on there MNF account for the double charge.

    Hi Corey,

    I wrote to you on Friday afternoon. I'm wondering when could I could expect a response from MNF regarding problems registering a credit card. Unfortunately, Billing & Accounts have not replied to my ticket: 1037530 from 10/08.

    Unfortunately, the general public don't really understand what the TIO are there for and instead abuse the privilege of having a body of support like them.

    The TIO is a place to go to when you haven't had a satisfactory result from your dealings with a telco. It costs the telco money, and once they start to get enough TIO complaints, most telcos will pull their finger out and actually fix things. This transfer process has been a bigger epic fail than the census.

    I have not refunded any customers. I have applied 2 credits to which we have been advised to hold off on due to the possibility of it reflecting any scripting.

    OK. Thanks for your explanation. My apologies for misinterpreting. When users said a credit had been applied to their accounts, I wrongly assumed they had already received the money.

    @Corey

    Having only just, minutes ago, received my SIM login details (after a kick up the butt for MNF from the TIO), I notice that the 'grandfathered' Go Global SIM plan now restricts calls to mobiles to TWO MINUTES.
    This is nothing like the untimed calls to landlines / mobiles for 46c that the original plans cost.

    The 19c per minute for 13/1300/1800 numbers apparently was successfully inherited from the original plan.

    Am I reading this wrong, or does the 46c UNTIMED calls to numbers in Australia / selected international, now EXCLUDE calls to Australian mobiles? (which now cost 23c per minute)

    Is it that MNF has also taken over PennySIM? I thought so at first but not sure anymore. PennySIM appears to be under a different arm of operation � with a different Account number, different portal, etc.

    Can someone from MNF clarify the situation, please?

    Please let me know where they stated this change to your Go Global plan.

    I am on Go Local and my latest invoice showed an increase in data rate from 3 cents/MB to 3.8 cents/MB. I was never informed of such change. Call to support was given an irritating answer: " we will refund the overcharge for this invoice but rate will increase after that. We will now send you a notification in writing." Even that disgusting answer was extracted only after I challenged his repeated claim that "we cannot see any data charged incorrectly". I then told him to look at any single entry in my invoice to work out the rate and he refused on the ground that it would be impossible � don't know for what reason if the invoice is in front on his screen.

    [edit: I was even asked to send them the Plan details. I wonder what's happening over there?]

    Hi There,

    Pennytel was acquired by the MNF Group in 2013.

    Upon the decision to migrate services this year it was decided VOIP and stand alone DSL customers would move over to our MyNetFone brand and PSTN, PennySim and Bundle customers would remain on the PennyTel brand.

    For Customers on the PennyTel brand the contact numbers for accounts and support are still unchanged.
    For Customers on the MNF brand the contact numbers have changed. Please refer to our website on the contact us page.

    Thanks,

    Hi There,

    I do apologise for this as data is being charged at 3c per MB currently.

    If this is the case as to what has happened I will ensure training is provided to staff in this area and see what went wrong and fix the rates in our billing system if this is what has caused this.

    I apologise for the experience you have had we will endeavor to improve this.

    Thanks for the swift reply Corey.
    When I view any of my mobile services services in the portal, and click Plan Description/Terms: click here to view in the Plan Info box, a pdf is downloaded showing the terms / costs of the Go Global Plan.

    7. Rates of Services:

    Go Global
    Standard national voice calls (landline and mobile) 46c/call
    International voice calls (to listed destinations) 46c/call
    13, 1300 and 1800 numbers (within Australia) 19c/min
    Cost of a standard SMS (worldwide) 11.5 cents
    Cost of a standard MMS (worldwide) 88 cents
    Voicemail deposit 5.5c/30secs
    Voicemail retrieval 16.5c/30secs
    Two minute standard national mobile call
    including flagfall
    46 cents
    Cost of using 1 megabyte (MB) of data (for any
    additional usage exceeding 1GB) 3 cents
    Flagfall 0 cents
    Non-flat rate calls are billed in 1 min increments.
    If you restricted your use solely to Standard National Mobile
    Calls each of two minutes in duration, you could make at least
    21 calls (based on a $10 monthly allowance).
    For the full list of international call rates, visit
    www.pennytel.com.au/penny-sim/plans/go-global
    For the full list of international and national roaming rates, and
    other charges, visit www.pennytel.com/internal/ratePage.jsp

    That's a relief that it's incorrect, I'll whim you the account details
    Incidentally, the ratePage.jsp link (including yours) throws up an 'Insecure Connection' error for me

    www.pennytel.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate expired on Saturday, 31 May 2014 7:59 AM. The current time is Wednesday, 17 August 2016 5:49 PM. Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE
