Transferring my number to Optus


Can I keep my number when switching to Optus Prepaid?

Yes! Once you get your new SIM you will be able to choose to either keep your
number or get a new one.

 * Head to optus.com.au/activate and have your new Optus Prepaid SIM and some ID
   handy. 
   
 * Make sure your details match those provided to your current mobile provider.
   
 * On Step 3, select Keep Your Number.
 * We will send you an SMS to verify your number transfer, so please keep your
   current SIM in your device.

Note: Don’t disconnect your service with your current provider - the number
needs to be active at the time of the transfer.

How long does it take to transfer my number?

You can go through the activation process online at any time, however we can
only transfer your number during:

 * Mon-Fri: 8am - 8pm
 * Sat: 10am - 6pm
   

If you activate outside these hours, your number will remain active with your
existing provider until the next transfer day.

Transfer normally takes 15 minutes but can take up to 4 hours.

Is there a cost to transfer my number?

We don’t charge any fees to transfer your number, but if you cancel a contract
with another provider early, they may charge you. Be sure to check with your
existing provider as Optus is not liable for fees incurred as a result of you
transferring your sevice from another carrier.

for a physical SIM if applicable).

within 5 days of placing order (whichever is earlier).  

SIM swaps and plan changes: SIM swaps not available for value SIMs. No
inclusions or credit will be transferred during rate plan change to Optus Flex
Plus. Once on Optus Flex Plus, customers will not be able to rate plan change to
another plan.

areas (excluding NT). 5G compatible phone and coverage required to access 5G.
Coverage varies depending on your device and location. Check coverage
at optus.com.au/coverage. 

Speed caps: Optus Flex Plus plans are speed capped, which means your network
speed is capped to a maximum potential speed of 250Mbps on the $55 recharge
option and 150Mbps on all other recharge options. These speeds are the maximum
potential speeds that you may get access to.  The actual network speed you
experience may be slower and will vary depending on various factors including
your device, location, available bandwidth and source of download. To access
uncapped speeds for a day, you can purchase the Unlimited Data Day Add On.

AutoRecharge (frequency): If you choose to turn AutoRecharge on, we will
automatically deduct the recharge amount from your saved payment method on the
day of recharge expiry (any time from 5.30am on that day).  Your service will
then automatically recharge between 11pm and 11.30pm (Sydney time) on the day of
recharge expiry. If you cancel AutoRecharge after you have been charged, but
before midnight on the day of recharge expiry, we will refund you within 2-10
business days depending on your payment method.  You can change, set up and turn
off your AutoRecharge through My Optus app, or by phone (call 555) or SMS (Text
‘Menu’ to 9999) if you have a saved payment method.

AutoRecharge (low balance): Low balance AutoRecharge will turn on by default
when you turn on AutoRecharge. If your data balance is reduced to 200MB before
your next scheduled AutoRecharge, we will automatically recharge your account
(limited to once per day). This will reset your inclusions and start a new
recharge expiry period. You must have frequency AutoRecharge turned on to enable
low balance AutoRecharge. You can manage your settings in My Optus app.

Add Ons: You must be within an active recharge period to purchase Add Ons. Add
Ons are used before the same inclusion type included with your standard recharge
(e.g. a $10/5GB MyData Add On will be used before any remaining data in your
standard recharge inclusions). If you recharge with the same Add On before your
current Add On expires, your inclusions will roll over (excludes Unlimited Data
Day, Optus Sport and $5 International Talk).  Further T&Cs apply to each
specific Add On see Add On page for details. 

International Talk: Standard international calls to selected destinations are
included on selected plans and/or may be purchased as an Add On.  Minutes are
counted in per minute increments. Excludes non-standard international calls
(premium/special/satellite/overseas toll-free numbers and video calls).

Exclusions: Your standard recharge does not include non-standard national or
internationals calls (such as premium/special/satellite/overseas toll-free
numbers and video calls), non-standard national SMS/MMS, international SMS/MMS
and roaming but some of these services may be accessed by purchasing an Add On. 

Data Rollover: Roll over unused included MyData up to a maximum of 200GB when
you maintain an active AutoRecharge or when you recharge before expiry. Any
applicable Activation Bonus Data or AutoRecharge Bonus Data is eligible for
rollover but other bonus data is excluded unless expressly stated otherwise. Any
data accumulated over 200GB will be forfeited. MyData Rollover will be used
after you have used up all data included with your standard recharge or in any
