Did you speak to our Mobile Care team, @Armandwes75? Was it the refundable deposit?

Deceptive practice to not mention it clearly when taking out the contract. Expecting everybody to read the T&Cs for hidden charges is the stupidest thing I've ever heard Brendon.

Hi @Jhone1

Please give our customer care team a call on 150 and they can look into this further for you.

I did it over the phone when getting broadband. No mention of it in the contracts for the broadband (just checked again), no mention on the phone, and I haven't signed a separate online contract for the mobile plan.

Hi @Nero5167 

Thanks for coming to the community. 

If you give us a call on 150, the team can check the deposit and let you know what this is for and look into removing this for you if possible 🙂

Leanne.
