User Reviews

User sentiment is mixed. Many reviewers praise Skinny for being easy to use and offering affordable, value-focused plans. However, recurring problems appear around verification (SMS) and number-porting, onboarding (modem setup, login), unreliable payments and renewals, and limited top-up options with a voucher-only workaround. Customers report poor, unhelpful support and frequent connectivity-related frustrations, which undermine otherwise positive impressions. Overall, Skinny seems attractive for cost and convenience, but core account, payment, and verification reliability gaps drive frequent negative experiences.

Pros

Easy to use / user-friendly app
Affordable plans / good value
Reliable service (per multiple reviewers)
Easy processing of payments

Cons

Verification texts not arriving / SMS authentication failures (and number porting issues)
Poor customer service / hard to reach or unhelpful support
Payment and renewal problems (unwanted auto-renew charges, card issues, security concerns)
Onboarding/setup and account access problems (modem setup lockouts, login difficulties, hyphen/name setup limitations)
Top-up and payment-method issues (online top-ups failing, voucher-only top-ups, auto-repeat problems)
