Please Explain

[Jae-2409]

I’ll just preface this post by letting you know that 5 separate complaints have been lodged with the TIO in relation to this issue.
I would like an explanation for your blatant and clear disregard of the Telecommunications Act.
I have ported out 5 mobile numbers from your service, and I understand (although vehemently disagree with the reasoning) an $11 charge per number ported for some numpty in a foreign country to spend all that time pressing the enter button, so that I may do what I like with my own numbers, BUT, what I would like a clear and concise response for is:
Why do you think it is perfectly legal to charge as a prepaid service then, keep The unused charges (in this case, the whole month) and then have the audacity to charge a port out fee on top of that? This is corporate greed at its finest.
As I have already submitted numerous complaints to the ombudsman, in relation to this matter, i am hereby demanding a refund in full for any and all unused charges on my account prorated daily.
