How do I activate my SIM?
To activate your Spacetalk Mobile SIM follow the steps on our activation page here.
Can I choose my number?
During the activation process you will have a choice of 4 randomly generated numbers. Alternatively, you can port your existing mobile number to Spacetalk Mobile.
Can I keep my existing number?
You can quickly and easily port your existing mobile number from any other provider. When activating your service simply select ‘keep existing number’.
If you are porting an existing mobile number, ensure you keep your old SIM card active and in your phone as we will need to send you a verification PIN before we can activate your new SIM card.
What is the pre-port process?
Porting a mobile service is the process of transferring a mobile number from one service provider to another. We must confirm that the person requesting the port has the right to transfer the number being ported.
This authentication process, known as pre-porting verification, allows us to verify the identity of the person requesting the mobile port and protects consumers from unauthorised ports and fraud.
What should I do if I didn't request for my number to be transferred for Spacetalk Mobile?
If you believe your number is being fraudulently ported, you should immediately report the activity to your current mobile provider.
Where do I find the SIM number?
Your SIM serial number is the 13-digit number located on the back of your SIM kit. Your SIM number can be found in two places, on the SIM card itself and at the top of the SIM card surrounding. This number will be required for the activation process.
What forms of identification do you accept
To activate your Spacetalk Mobile service you will need a current form of identification. This can be either a Passport, Australian driver's license/learners permit or Medicare card.Once your identification has been accepted, you will not need to complete another verification for 12 months.
I am trying to sign up, but the identification check is failing.
To get an identification match, the details you enter must match exactly with the identification record on file. Common errors include the name not matching or invalid reference numbers.
Please check carefully to ensure the name has not been shortened or changed to an English language version, rather than the official registered name present on the identification.
If you are using an Australian driver’s licence for your identification check be sure to locate both your driver’s licence number and licence card number prior to filling out your personal information (these are two different numbers).
How long will it take for my service to activate?
Generally, your plan will be activated within 15 minutes to 4 hours. We will message you letting you know when the service has been activated with your account and service number.
Once activation is complete you may need to turn your device on and off in order for the SIM to connect.
