Activate Telstra SIM Card: Activate your Pre-Paid or Post-Paid Service

To activate your new Telstra SIM Card, Go to prepaid.activate.telstra.com.au. Enter your SIM serial number (on the back of your SIM kit). Choose to transfer your number from your current provider, or get a new Telstra number.

Activating your Pre-Paid or post-paid service can be done in a few simple steps. We’ll ask you a quick question when you start to make sure you’re on the right track.

Before you start, you’ll need your pre-paid SIM serial number found on the back of the packaging, and a valid form of ID.

When you activate, you can choose to transfer your current number from another provider or get a new Telstra number. If you want to transfer your current number to Telstra, keep your existing SIM (from your current provider) in your phone until your service is disconnected.

Once you’ve activated your SIM card, your pre-paid service should be up and running within 4 hours, but it can take longer. If you’re transferring your mobile number, we can only do this within our operating hours.
