Bad customer services

It is a nightmare to contact BetterRoaming to resolve an issue! They have an Australian Phone number but no one ever picks up the call. Online request for support still waiting for support after nearly a day after submission…very frustrating

Apple Watch Plan for Kids - Super!

I was looking for a solution to a way of keeping in touch with my child who is entering high school this year. I didn't want to give my child a phone so decided to give him an Apple Watch with a data plan and "screen time" setup that allows me limit his "online exposure". None of the telcos in Australia had suitable "standalone" apple watch plans so ended up using Better Roaming. Onboarding was easy-as! However, I had some issues adding the plan to the watch (because I use Telstra on my phone) and therefore I put off adding the Better Roaming plan to my sons watch. Astral from Better Roaming noticed I had not activated the recently purchased plan and reached out to me to sort out the issue. Issue was sorted in minutes with a workaround and voila the Apple Watch works a treat! I can't be happier with the service so far!

Great support provided for investigating a network issue

Astral and his team were great at trying to sort an issue I had when trying to call my son’s Apple Watch which was on the better roaming network. After investigating the issue for me it turned out the problem was with my own network provider. After contacting them the issue was resolved quickly.

I had an amazing experience with Astral of BetterRoaming

I had an amazing experience with BetterRoaming today. The instructions for pairing my son’s Apple Watch to my I phone were clear, but we encountered a digital hiccup during the process. Astral talked me through each step, patiently helped troubleshoot the issue and stayed on the ph with me while we tested everything to make sure it was working properly. His personal and supportive approach was much appreciated.
Thanks again for the excellent help!

Connect child’s Apple Watch with Better Roaming

Better Roaming made it possible to connect my daughter’s Apple Watch to calls and Internet without her having an IPhone. Australian Telcos refused the service unless I had purchased the watch from them on a “never never”plan. Easy to set up, no price increases in 12 months
