You have 365 days to activate your Vodafone Prepaid SIM after purchasing it as part of a starter pack. Those under 18 need parental or guardian consent to sign up for a Vodafone Prepaid plan. From here, the SIM activation process involves three key steps:
Vodafone Com Au Activate Sim Online
Activating your Vodafone SIM is easy; you can do it either through Vodafone's website online, over the phone, or in person at a Vodafone store. If you purchased or received your SIM card directly from Vodafone, it may already be activated, so it's recommended that you first try inserting the SIM in your phone to see if your phone connects to the Vodafone network and you are able to place calls. For Vodafone service in India, SIM cards cannot be activated on the Vodafone website and can only be activated by phone or in store.
For all Australian prepaid SIM cards, you used to show some photo ID (drivers licence or passport) in an outlet of the operator. Nowadays activation is mostly done online through the website of the operator. There you have to fill in your personal data before the SIM card will activate. Usually a passport and any Australian address (like your accommodation) is sufficient.
Be aware that some supermarket brands like those of Aldi, Coles or others can only be activated online. For this you need a WiFi connection or a secondary SIM. Most foreigners can only be verified by a small debit on your credit card. For this you need a Master- or VISA-card (not common in China) and the possibility to check your debits in real time. If you don't have such a credit or debit card, stick to the brands of the operators and activate them in their branded stores like at the international airports.
Optus has launched roaming add-ons for prepay customers. The $ 20 Roam Data option offers 10 GB to use in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, UK and the US over 5 days.These add-ons are available on the Prepaid Epic Data Plan and Prepaid Epic Value Plan and customers can purchase them online or via My Optus app.
Their SIM card is sold in Vodafone stores (locator) and other places or online to be sent to an Australian address. Their prepaid SIM starter kit comes in different varieties in all SIM sizes and open for 4G/LTE:
You will also need to log on to the Vodafone website to activate SIM here. You will need an Australian address to activate the SIM card. You can give an hotel address or any other for it. A Vodafone SIM will stay active for 365 days after the credit has expired before being terminated.
You get 10% bonus data when recharging your Mobile Broadband service online by credit card or PayPal. You can rollover up to 50 GB of unused data to the next month, if you recharge your service before your expiry date. Unused data will be forfeited after 18 months.
The SIM is sold in ALDI stores exclusively (store locator), ask at check out, or online to be sent to an Australian postal address. The starter pack SIM costs $5 and comes with $5 credit pre-loaded. All three sizes are available.
You have to activate the SIM card online here . From activation the SIM card is valid for 365 days, longer than any other SIM card in AU. Be aware that registration is only possible online and a bit tricky for non-Australians. You need a working internet connection, plus a credit/debit card (Master/VISA) and realtime access to your debits as they will charge you a small amount for verification, that you will need to specify.
Amaysim also offers eSIMs for online ordering if you have a phone that supports this feature. It allows you to access the latest website offers and download the eSIM to your phone in the time it takes to get through arrivals in the airport. Use the Amaysim app to order, install and activate the eSIM.
As of May 2019, online activation requires you to be physically in Australia (if using a foreign passport as proof of identity). You have 3 chances (during online activation) to submit your foreign passport number, expiration date, etc., and if you fail all 3, an email to their Help Desk is required (with photocopy of your passport and your visa). They DO check to ensure you have been marked as 'Arrived' in Australia, so no chance of activating this BEFORE you arrive. After you have registered and enable roaming (using the amaysim app), you are free to roam with this SIM card.
Buy a SIM starter kit for $2 without credit or for $40 with the same plan included from their outlets (store locator). Or online in all three SIM sizes to be sent to an Australian postal address.
You can recharge by vouchers, sold in their stores or online by credit card or PayPal. You need to activate it online here with an Australian Driver's Licence or Learner's Permit, a Medicare card, an Australian passport or an international passport with valid Australian visa.
The starter is sold for $2 exclusively at any Coles supermarket or Coles Express store in the country. The $2 has no credit pre-loaded. You need to activate the SIM online giving passport and visa data. The process takes 15 minutes to 4 hours.
You need to activate your SIM card here. You can top up online by credit card (Visa and MasterCard only) or a voucher from a store from $10 to 100. As with gotalk, their voice prepaid SIM cards are not that interesting, as they either stay at 5c/MB with no bundles available or include data with lots of AU minutes or texts.
Starter packs are available at 7-Eleven, allphones, BP, Coles, Coles express, DickSmith, Harvey Norman, Kmart, Newsagent, NewsLink, Officeworks, On the Run, post offices, Ritchies, TeleChoice, United, Woolworths (storefinder) for $2 or online for free to be shipped to an Australian postal address.
SIM card comes without balance either as mini/micro or nano size. It needs to be activated online here: activation. Only Australian IDs are shown as options, but most internatl. credit cards are accepted too as reference.
Available from Woolworths supermarkets, Woolworths Mobile is a MVNO using Telstra's wholesale network which has slightly less coverage than Telstra's retail network (available with Telstra products and Boost mobile only). This means poorer coverage, mainly in rural areas and network data speeds are limited to 100 Mbps on 4G. Woolworths are one of the very few MVNOs who offer eSIM, this can be activated through the app and can be purchased on the website.
Kogan.com is an Australian portfolio of retail and services businesses founded in 2006 by Ruslan Kogan and has over 8 million active subscribers. Kogan Mobile was re-launched in Australia on the Vodafone network in 2015 and offers Vodafone's 4G since 2016. Vodafone handles all customer service. Kogan was not listed before, as it's mostly sold online to be sent to a local address which makes it inconvenient for visitors.
Their SIM card can be purchased online from kogan.com to be delivered within 3-10 business days to an Australian address for $2 with free shipping. Since 2019 it can also be purchased at United fuel stations and 7-Eleven Stores in the country (list of purchase points). To activate you need to go online and have your passport and credit/debit card ready.
Recharges need to be made using a Mastercard, Visa or Amercian Express through your online account. You can check your balance by dialling 12612 and selecting Option 1 from the main menu. Alternatively you can see your balance by logging into your Kogan Mobile account or using their app.
If you do not recharge your account after your plan expires, you will still be able to receive incoming calls and text messages for 20 days, and make calls to emergency services for 90 days before your account will be deactivated.
Yatango used to be a MVNO in 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE on the Optus network. In 2015 they declared bankrupcy. Their customers were taken over by the new MVNO Yomojo Mobile that works on the same network. So far this new operator hasn't built up an offline distribution system in stores. As an online-only operator they remain unsuitable for travellers as you need a reliable delivery address. That's why they can't be listed here, even they give good rates.
From 1 October 2022, Apple SIM technology will no longer be available for activating new mobile data plans on iPad. Contact your service provider for details on how to activate a mobile data plan on iPad.
