Mobile FAQs

How to activate your Optus SIM card?

You can activate your Optus SIM card by first inserting it into your mobile device. Next, change the new SIM card PIN from the default (0000) to something secure that you’ll remember. Next, turn your mobile device off and on again every few minutes until the SIM has activated. This should happen within 4 hours. You’ll know the SIM card has been activated when the word "Optus" appears next to the coverage bars.

What is a SIM only plan?

A SIM Only plan provides you with a SIM card only, and will usually come with a set amount of mobile data, talk time, and text. You have to use your own mobile phone, and SIM Only contracts are either for a set period, or month-to-month. Optus SIM Only plans include data free streaming for certain entertainment services, but don’t include the cost of a subscription for these services.

Can I change my Optus mobile number?

You can discuss the options for changing your Optus mobile number by calling Optus General & Billing Enquiries on 133 937. Alternatively, you can do so by initiating a chat via the My Optus App. There may be a cost involved, depending on your reason for wanting the change, however the agent assisting you should let you know about this beforehand.

Can I choose my own mobile number with Optus?

Yes, Optus does allow you to choose your own mobile number. However, there are costs involved, and the process can only be done by visiting an Optus shop. Gold numbers are almost fully customisable, but can cost considerably more than choosing from a set of available numbers. You can incur a fee for simply changing to any randomly assigned number, but this is the cheapest way to do so.

Can I add Fetch TV to my Optus mobile service?

Fetch TV is only available to Optus customers with a valid Optus Home Broadband service (Cable, DSL Direct, DSL or NBN) or an Optus Postpaid Mobile Phone service. The Yes TV by Fetch companion app requires a set top box to work, with data-free streaming available on some Postpaid plans - including SIM only plans. The Mobi app, which doesn’t require a set top box, is no longer available.

Can I change my Optus mobile plan while under contract?

You can only change your Optus mobile plan while under contract if you move to a more expensive plan. To do this, you’ll need to contact Optus directly. Changing to a cheaper plan, or one that costs the same as your current plan, is usually not allowed. A fee may apply when changing or cancelling your plan during a contract term, including for SIM only plans. At iSelect we can assist you in getting a new connection, as well as migrating your service from pre-paid to post-paid.

Smartphones

Smartphones have advanced mobile operating systems that combine the features of a personal computer with a digital camera and video camera, Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS navigation, the ability to run apps and games, plus much more

Add-ons

You might have the option of adding minutes for local or international calls or of getting extra data so you can stream Netflix or Spotify to your heart's content. You can get prepaid add-ons that last one day, a week or 28 days.

Operating systems

Your phone's operating system is the software that manages its basic functions and features. For many smartphones this includes Bluetooth connection, GPS navigation, and the ability to connect to Wi-Fi and mobile networks. The operating system also allows you to access and interact with applications on the device.

Packages

Combining your home broadband plan and mobile phone plan means you'll only have to deal with one service provider and may get all your charges together in one convenient bill. You might even get some additional discounts and freebies.

Data allowance

You use data to access the Internet, download emails, stream music and videos, run some games and applications, and get directions. It's important to strike the right balance with your data allowance or you may end up paying more than you need to each month for unused data, costly add-ons or excess data rates.

Insurance

Mobile phone insurance may cover a replacement phone if yours is lost or stolen or any necessary repairs if damaged. It may also cover a limited amount for unauthorised usage charges. However, policies do come at an extra cost and in some cases might require you to pay an excess if you make a claim.

Plan type

When deciding on your plan, you can choose a prepaid, postpaid or a SIM-only package. Prepaid plans allow you to purchase credit upfront, while postpaid plans bill you for your previous month's usage. SIM-only packages include a SIM card and a set amount for calls, SMS and data, and can either be prepaid or month-to-month.

Entertainment

New songs from your favourite bands, binge-worthy TV shows, and cult movies. Enjoy a world of entertainment without clogging up your hard drive, thanks to apps that allow you to stream music and video from your smartphone.
