Works well but needs a specific setup

Works well but needs a specific setup. I had to pair the child’s watch on my iPhone with “set up for a family member”

Support was very good

Dear Richard,

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience!

We’re glad everything is working well. You’re right, when setting up a child’s watch, choosing “Set Up for a Family Member” in the Watch app on the iPhone is important. This step is also outlined on our website here: https://www.betterroaming.com/watches/apple-watch-family-how-to-install/, so it’s great you highlighted it for other customers.

We’re also happy to hear you had a positive experience with our support team. If you ever need anything else, we’re always here to help!

Kind regards,
BetterRoaming Support Team

Impeccable customer service. For someone who isn’t tech savvy what so ever, they gave me easy, step by step instructions to set my sons watch up. Highly recommend !!!

I made a mistake while registering the device. There were instructions on the website to fix it. However, I didn't want to take a chance. Astral communicated with me suo moto as the plan remained unactivated. He helped fix it - was with me from start to finish- and sought confirmation that everything was working. This is an example of awesome customer service. I would highly recommend the product/ service.

Australian parents need to know about BetterRoaming!

BetterRoaming is the only service provider in Australia that allows parents to set up an Apple Watch for a child without them requiring a mobile phone. More parents need to know this! Set up with BetterRoaming was quick, easy and instant - all done in a few minutes on Christmas Day! We live in a rural area and coverage is comparable to the ‘big’ phone companies. At only $99 for 12 months, we HIGHLY recommend other Australian parents use BetterRoaming. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best telco customer service EVER

I was very surprised when BetterRoaming contacted ME! They could see I was having issues installing a new plan on my child's watch. The person I was emailing was very helpful and informative. I cannot fault their customer service.

Astral was awesome!

Astral was so patient with getting my watch connected. He evens calls back when the call dropped out. He made sure all issues were sorted before hanging up.

Unbelievable Tech support

In all my life, I’ve never had such a proactive support from a tech company. Astral contacted me to ask if I needed assistance as he noted I had not yet installed my Better Roaming plan after a week of purchasing. Indeed I did need help, and Astral rang promptly to patiently and clearly explain the issue and walk me through it. The issue was fixed and he made several follow ups to make sure was all ok.
I am still in disbelief a telco would make such attempts to support such a small user with onboarding. Thanks Astral for the incredible initiative and patience.

Dear Ines,

Thank you for following up. We understand the need for clarity around timing.

The issue you’re referring to only affects the latest Apple Watch models released last September (Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch SE 3). All other Apple Watch models continue to work as expected.

Our team is actively working on a solution, and we expect this issue to be fully resolved within this year. However, we’re unable to share a more precise date at this stage.

We’d also like to mention that Trustpilot allows existing reviews to be updated at any time, which helps us follow up more easily on the original feedback and provide further information or clarification on the original issue that was raised. That said, we appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.

If you need any further assistance with any other matter, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly through our Help Center at www.betterroaming.com/support , and we’ll be happy to help. Simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue banner labeled “Contact Support.”
