Sam Heylen

One happy customer! My wife's iPhone suddenly crashed and having not been backed up in over a year we thought we had lost all of her photos, videos etc including baby photos of our 3rd child. Apple said there was nothing we could do except try a data recovery place. Payam were fantastic from whoa to go. They recovered all the data and even provided an iTunes backup of the phone. Couldn't recommend them more highly. Thanks guys

Payam is a magician! My network (along with my attached hard drive) got fried in a storm whilst I was away on holidays. I consulted friends that worked in IT and even paid a computer store check my hard drive out and they told me that I'd have to pay them again for a quote to have it looked at by a forensic mob. I did my own investigative work and found Payam through Google. I read all the other reviews, checked out the website and compared it to others I had found. I even mystery shopped several companies by calling over the phone and asking Qs about their services and costs to recover the data. I chose to use Payam and I agree with the professionalism and response times reported in the previous reviews. In the end I got my data and photos copied onto a new hard drive and it cost much less than what some other companies were quoting (try $1K + interstate registered postage!). I can't thank Payam and his team enough and thoroughly recommend them for data recovery services (although I hope not to have to go through the experience again!). Extremely happy 🙂

To Wes and your team at Payam, I would like to say thank you for recovering my hard drive with all my photos and personal information on it. The service and professionalism you and your team showed is outstanding, and I will let all know!!!

John Cassey

We are an Australian charity involved in overseas aid. All our media (video, images) for the past 6 years had been moved to an external hard drive - which then failed. Local experts referred us to Payam after being unable to recover data. Lachlan made the process of sending the disc easy and was at all times attentive, clear and professional about options. The eventual cost was beyond our means. Knowing we were a charity, Payam offered to recover the data at a substantially reduced cost and put it onto a complimentary hard drive. You guys are great!!!!!! Thank you

Lexie Lloyd

I could not give a higher recommendation if I tried, I can't express how happy they've made me!! These people are incredibly friendly and professional, they are your go-to for any damage to your phone, especially water damage which is what I had, A phone that was never backed up, that wouldn't turn on and was deemed unfixable by other companies... I thought the photos and videos of my favourite people were gone forever, but no, thanks to Payam

Conrad Smith

Payam Data Recovery provides a great service when important data has been lost. I've used them a number of times while repairing PCs and servers for people. On each occasion Payam have recovered the data of damaged hard drives. If needed, they have worked through the night and returned data quickly. While it is not a service that you 'want' to use, if you 'need' data recovery, then Payam will help.

Wes from Payam Adelaide was unbelievable. Explained everything and saved our CF Card containing a video job that we couldn't replicate. Amazing. The price was spot on and the service level was first class. Thanks so much!! Your saved our data and our lives

Mark Irving

Awesome Job…Thanks!

Russell Lunney

Completely happy 🙂

Sam Diep

I am happy to say that Gray Anderson, the person I dealt with from start to finish, was friendly and professional throughout the process. I was kept informed every step of the way. All the data was recovered promptly and without fuss. I would recommend Payam data recovery service to anyone who have hard-drive problem.

Michael Bachelder

After my hard drive died - I was in shock, as I didn't have a back up. A friend recommended "Payam data recovery", as they were able to recover my documents, photos and data... My problems were solved.

Shane Quinn

I am very happy with the service and the professional manner. Especially that I wasn’t slugged an exorbitant price when you guys knew you had me by the Sh&Curls. I will recommend you back to Glencore who sent me to you.

Alex Okill

I had a burned out board on my desktop hard drive with 60Gb of data - they managed to repair the board and transfer to the data to my external drive and didn't do anything with the old drive until had confirmed that it was safe to do so.

I opted for the "economy" service which took around 3 weeks, however that was over the Christmas period too. Great service.

Kelly Andrusko

Just want to say thank you for retrieving my data from a very broken USB stick. It had a lot of important information which I would have been lost without. The whole process was easy and I really appreciated all your help. I will definitely let others know about the service. Thank you again

Ook Tong

Because of this company, I was able to retrieve priceless videos & photos from my iPhone 5S, which was damaged from salt water contact. I took it to them several months after the water incident and they were still able to recover everything. Their service was top notch and I'd highly recommend their service!

I think Payam did a good job with my data recovery situation. I would recommend your service to anyone with a hopeless data loss situation and needs a saviour.

Shane Roberts

You guys did some recovery work for me and I would like to say thank you for your great work. The seed of your work was great and you helped me out on a great price. I would like to thank the team at reception for putting me at ease. Thank you again and I will recommend Payam Data Recovery to all that need recovery work done…….Thanks again

Wayne Harrison

Very happy and please with the result….you guys save day skin as we had heaps of photos and important documents that we could not afford to lose……a job very well done and despite the no need for urgency, it was still completed in a very short time…..

Alex Giangrasso

Recovered data from my water damaged (destroyed) Samsung Galaxy S6 3 weeks after the damage occurred. Amazing service

Duncan Marshall

I had a great experience when a NAS enclosure failed. PDR were able to quickly ascertain that the disks and associated data were intact, and recovered all data, whilst keeping me informed of the progress.. Great service. Well done

Jayne McCabe

I cannot rate the service provided by Payam Data Recovery highly enough! I have done a few big things in my life, such as getting married and building a house where you would reasonably expect to receive great service, but this exceeded even those!!! Payam are very transparent and upfront about the service they provide and so you can rest assured that they will do everything to get your data back. The emails I received along the way were both regular - so I never had to wonder what was going on - and they addressed every question before I had even thought of it. The shipping and payment process is simple and hassle free. This is a good, honest Australian company and the best at what they do. Thank you Payam for recovering my memories!

Brendan Cheong

I contacted several different data recovery companies when my Raid 0 array failed. Payam responded the quickest, and not only that, provided me with a range of price options. Their lowest cost option was very competitive and quoted an expected completion time of 4 weeks.

I chose their lowest cost option as I was not in any hurry, but as it turned out, Payam recovered 100% of my data in under 10 days anyway. Communication from Payam was excellent, and I was regularly kept updated of their progress and expected completion time. Their staff was friendly and professional at all times.

I found Payam to be very knowledgeable, experienced, and above all, flexible and very customer centric. I have no reservations in recommending them to anyone

Brad Flowers

Excellent fast and friendly help – life saving

Jamie Dela Rosa

I was very satisfied with the job that you guys did. It was quick, easy, helpful and accommodating. As a full-time student, I greatly appreciated the plan of payment I was put on that was offered to All my files were recovered from my drive and I can’t really be any happier. Thank you.

RoseDi

Thank you for your excellent work, after 3 attempts of trying to recover my photos from my iPhone which I had dropped in the toilet and just stopped working, Payam were able to recover everything from my very dead iPhone!!! Excellent customer service!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Kate Roulston

Amazing! Were able to recover data from dead iPhone so quickly! So thankful I got it all back. Thanks so much

Stewart Routledge

Your work was great and maybe the only people in Brisbane capable of doing this.

Marco Albrecht

Very happy with the service!

Dave Romney

Splendid service, recovered a difficult hardware issue for a reasonable price.

Mulham

My experience was nothing less that perfect. Great Service, seamless process and great outcome.

The guys were able to recover 200GB worth of critical Data from a MacBook Air device.

All in all a positive experience.

Thanks a lot

Dave Owens

We were very happy with the work done to retrieve the data. There was four years of company work that we desperately needed retrieved and it was done without any fuss

Stephen Pittman

Given the nature of my requirements – family photos/personal files that weren’t time sensitive, but absolutely precious – I am very happy with the result, which was a 99.8% recovery – AWESOME!

Emma Burnard

Very professional and efficient. They recovered important data that other shops could not do

John Schaeffer

Thank you to the team of data recovery specialists at Payam. After much despair from seeking recovery services elsewhere and being told my data was unrecoverable, I sought out Payam.

Wished I’d gone there first. They were able to recover all of my irreplaceable valuable information (documents, photos, music files etc) which I thought had gone forever. Very reasonable price too. Excellent work and would definitely recommend Payam to anyone needing their valuable data recovered.

Haley (surname withheld)

Extremely happy thanks, was very upset when i thought i couldn’t get this data back as it was 7 years of home movies and important work files, i researched on google and everyone said there was nothing i could do to get past the WD encryption without the chip from my damaged case. It cost less than i thought and it was all done extremely quickly, I’m thankful I gave you guys a go and definitely going to recommend you to anyone that has the same issue.

Beth Ammerman

I too was bitten by the "why didn't I backup my data!" regret. I thought 14 years of photos, music and business files were simply dead and gone until I discovered Payam. Great service, 100% of everything restored. It does cost, but worth it! Thanks

Joel P

Fantastic service. Craig was very helpful and prompt. Kept you updated along the way. Would highly recommend their services.

Elizabeth Whittle

Great. They helped me out of a spot and were nice to deal with.

Anthony A Malelis

I was blown away with the service and could not be happier. I would recommend to anyone!

Matt Smith

Great service and exceeded expectations but returning my data 100% intact. Expensive but worth it for years of priceless photos and study records.

Krecs

Excellent personal customer service. Fixed my 1Tb hard drive quickly, and explained the whole process. If I ever have recovery issues again this will be the guys that I would deal with.

Janise Au

My WD portable hard disk died off suddenly with no hope to restore. Got referral from a friend for this company and retrieved the important data at ease. Expect the fee would be mega high – eventually fixed at a fee that is acceptable. High recommended company if you got the same problem.

Clerk

Recently, one of my barristers' computer went for a 'swim' whilst on holidays. He did not have back up and was quite distressed. I had an IT person have a look and they said it required professional data recovery. I then contacted Payam and sent the hard drive over. A representative rang me back the same day and asked various questions and said I would receive a quote and an idea of the amount of data, if any, that could be recovered. The next day I was contacted and advised that 'most, if not all' the data could be recovered and for a very reasonable fee. I was also asked what I wanted done with the defective hard drive i.e. returned or destroyed and if wanted to purchase a storage device or would prefer to provide same. I was able to collect the defective hard drive and storage device within two (2) days of the delivery to them. I am more than happy to recommend PAYAM who provide an excellent, efficient and personalized service to distressed customers by keeping the customers informed all through the process. Thank you once again for all help.

Venky

Thanks Payam, for your amazing recovery. I can't believe that a data out of USB stick that was quite damaged could be recovered in less than 48 hours.
From the beginning of time during the submission of my USB stick, and till you gave me a new stick with recovered data, you guys showed complete100% customer service. Kudos to your team.
No words!
Many Thanks

Sundar Rama

We had a recent hard drive crash on a Linux Server. The data contained images from a weather station located in a remote part of Papua New Guinea for the past 18 months. Kevin and his team were most helpful in recovering the data in full, apart from the minor hiccup where our hard drive caused their PC to start smoking too ! Very professional.

Hix

Recovered all my data from water damaged iPhone & damaged Laptop HDD. They wont let you down. Professional and efficient.

During May 2009 I was attempting to complete my HSC year at school. Being a student who uses a laptop all my work files for the previous 4 years, including the entirety of my Preliminary HSC and what I had so far done of the HSC, were stored on my computer. Hence you could imagine my horror when I attempted to turn on my Laptop only to find it wasn’t possible to access any of my notes. After a month of differing computer technicians attempting to recover the files I was eventually directed to Payam. Within 24 hours I got the phone call saying they had isolated the problem and offered with a quote to move forward, due to the important nature of my files I immediately moved forward and despite not asking for the express service my files were recovered within the week. On top of this Payam then proceeded to sell me and exceptionally cheap and high quality Seagate external hard drive. This has since ensured that not only are all my notes accessible to me but they are also backed up to avoid this problem happening again. - Jack Thorburn"

 

Phillip Busch

I called last week and spoke with Kevin. He was so helpful on the phone. I passed on Payam's contact details to my client to deal directly with them.

When i discovered my crucial data was 'lost' I contacted a I.T technician who said it was highly unlikely that the data could be retrieved but recommended Payam as the place that could most likely find it, if anyone had any chance to?!?....Distressed and desperate I contacted Payam and was calmly talked through the process.Essentially if they couldn't retrieve the data I would not have to pay all the costs and if they did find the data the price was negotiable based on what work they did. I ventured to their office prepared to offer a blank cheque but was pleasantly surprised with the cost of the quality work, but more so impressed by their exceptional customer service. Payam offered me premium customer service for the economy price and were able to retrieve 98% of my missing data in less than 3 working days. They also very generously copied all my data onto a clean hard drive and posted it free of charge to my workplace.Knowing how stressful this time of year was for me, they took an even more personalised approach and provided the hard drive free of charge. I can't tell you how easy it was dealing with Payam. Their work is superb , their customer service is outstanding and communication with them was constant and clear. Just the other day I received an email from Payam letting me know that they were available to chat to if I needed assistance working through my recovered data. I have placed their business card at work and have shared the story of how generous and personalised their customer service was, let alone how amazing their work is to anyone who will listen! Please do not hesitate to contact them for help, I strongly recommend their services to anyone who experiences the grief of data loss. Thanks Payam, words can't express my gratitude for your assistance. I wish you guys all the best in the new year 🙂

Julian Tullier

I’m extremely happy with Payam’s service and support. Whilst I picked the cheapest/slowest option, my data was recovered in a very short period of time and certainly exceeded my expectations.

My Hard drive on my laptop died recently without any warning, as such I had to replace the hard drive but doing so I lost thousands of files being a small business I could never replace.
I connected with Payam, and they were so helpful on what needed to be done, and once they received my hard drive they more or less let me know every step of the way of the process. Once finished and they had retrieved 99.9% of my files, they sent me an email and SMS letting me know of the good news and a link showing the files that had been retrieved. I will be ever so grateful to them.

The BEST service ever. I was assisted by Tim. Tim has been absolutely amazing. From the start he was extremely informative about all the procedures and steps that would take place. His knowledge and skills are so incredible and advanced. He knows exactly what he is doing and advised me the best solutions along the whole way. He is highly experianced. He went beyond helping me understand data recovery and steps I could take in future in order to have a good backup.

My laptop (Macbook air) was fixed and I was able to receive 100% of my data back.

I am so happy with Payam ! The staff are incredibly nice.

I would highly recommend Payam to anyone who have broken their tech gadgets or are facing any issues.

BIG THANKYOU😊😊😊

I had 2 laptops that I needed data recovered from and Payam were so helpful! They got my data back from one of my laptops on the spot, and the other laptop was super fast too. They also provided good advice regarding warranty claims for the laptop and on ways to back up my data in the future. Can’t recommend them enough!
