Free SIM Card ! - we are happy to supply SIM cards free of charge as long as you purchase an airtime voucher from us. Shipping is via Express Post or Regular mail. Please note regular mail is not traceable.

 

Card Activation - your SIM card will need to be activated. Once you have ordered your card this is easily done through a convenient online form.

Service Number - this is allocated to your SIM card at time of activation and does not expire as long as you top up within 270 days of last usage.

You will receive full details of your SIM / Service activation by email. The number will be in the format 881X XXXX XXXX For callers to ring this number they will need to dial +881XXXXXXXXX or the International Pre-fix of their phone company plus the number (For Telstra, and some others, this would look like 0011881XXXXXXXXX) Please remember some Telcos charge ridiculous amounts for calls to satellite services. Please check with your provider.

Dialing - always use the international dialing format. As an example to call a NSW number dial +612XXXXXXXX, a mobile +614XXXXXXXX etc. (+61 is the Australian country code, please use the country code appropriate to your call destination)
