Step 1: Check Compatibility and Coverage

To check whether your phone or device is compatible with the Optus network, please visit FrequencyCheck: https://www.frequencycheck.com/country-compatibility/jvg8y/australia/devices (sorry but eBay does not allow direct linking) View the Optus Coverage Map http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/network/coverage to check whether there is coverage in the areas you?ll be visiting. Please contact your current carrier to confirm whether your device is locked to their network. You may need to request that they unlock your device before you can connect to the Optus network.

Step 2: Purchase an Optus Pre-Paid SIM card

Once you have decided whether this SIM card is right for you, order it and wait for it to arrive! You can expect the SIM card to arrive within 1 to 3 weeks, however we recommend ordering at least 1 month in advance of your trip to ensure that it arrives in time.

Step 3: Put the SIM card in your device

This Starter Kit contains a single multi-fit SIM card in all sizes: Full Size, Micro, and Nano. Just select which size you need and pop the SIM card out of the frame, using the instructions provided in the Starter Kit.

Step 4: Activate the SIM Card

You can activate the SIM card after you arrive in Australia, using the instructions provided in the Starter Kit. You will be given a variety of different plans to choose from. Visit the Optus Pre-Paid plan site http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/prepaid/plans for more details. Note that the Data-only plans are not available with this type of SIM card. 

One form of ID will be required to activate the SIM card. You can provide either a credit card, International Passport, Australian Passport, Australian Driver’s License, or Green Medicare Card. Note that Optus advises that activation can take between 15 minutes to 4 hours. Also note that this is a $2 SIM card and does not include any credit.
