Call me! - How to contact us

Call us

We’re super friendly and won’t bite – give us a call on 133 001

Snail mail

If for some bizarre reason you want to write to us, you can find us at GPO Box 2223, Melbourne, VIC 3001.

Let’s Get it On! - How to activate

OK, first things first. You’ll need to activate your new SIM card either online (on the Activation page of our website), or by giving us a call on 133 001. You’ll need to give us the following info:

1. Your personal details

We’ll need the following bits and pieces of info to start registering your SIM card:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Date of Birth
  • Email address
  • Contact number

2. ID

For Australian residents:

  • Your driver’s licence number or;
  • Your Medicare number

For non-Australian residents:

  • Your passport number

3. Your activation number

This number can be found on the sticker on the back of your SIM pack.

If you’re a bit forgetful and you’ve lost this, then you’ll need to give us a call and let us know your SIM number and we’ll then arrange to do the activation over the phone.

Keep on Rollin’ - Credit rollover

Some of our plans allow your credit to rollover, which is pretty cool, others don’t. Here’s the low down on which is which:

TT’s $10, $20 and $30.

These plans allow any unused credit to rollover, whether it’s for talk time, texts or data. What this means is that if you run out of calls, but still have texts and data left, you won’t lose what you haven’t used up. So, if you recharge, you’ll get your new allowance of calls, texts and data, plus your leftover texts and data added on. And we’ll keep rolling your leftovers to your next recharge for up to 90 days.

Everything else:

All of our other plans do not allow your credit to rollover. So, if you recharge your plan when you still have a bit of credit left, you’ll lose that credit.

And remember! If you change your plan (no matter which plan you are changing to), you’ll lose any remaining credit that you have. This applies even if you are going from Caps $19 plan to Caps $29 plan for example. So make sure you wait until you are all out of credit before changing your plan.

It’s all over! – expiry periods

Most of our plans have an expiry period of 30 days. What this means is that once you’ve recharged or activated your SIM card, you’ve got 30 days to use up all of your credit and allowances before they’ll expire.Don’t panic though. Our TT’s $30 plan gives you an expiry period of 180 days, for all you slow coaches out there who need more time.And our Surfies Mobile Broadband plans give you a variety of expiry periods to suit your needs.

Mobile number expiry period

Once your credit has expired, you’ll need to top up again within 90 days. Now, because we’re freakin’ awesome, we’ll hold your number for you on your account for this amount of time. But after that, we’ll assume you’ve dumped us and your number will no longer be available. In fact it may even be assigned to someone else under the ACMA’s numbering regulations. Check out our Terms and Conditions if you want to find out more. Hmm that’s an awesome read!?

Bring it! - How to bring your number to ONEmobile

This is easy! When entering your details online in order to activate your SIM card you will be given the option for ‘New or existing port’. Select ‘Port – move an existing number’ and then enter the required details.Make sure you don’t request a new number, because if you do, you won’t be able to ‘port’ your number to us without buying another SIM card. If you’ve already activated your SIM you’ll have to purchase a new one. Sorry about that but we can’t transfer your credits from your old SIM card to your new ONE.

Mix it up! - How to change your plan

Feeling like a change? You can change your plan simply by recharging with whichever plan you’d like to change it to. It’s as simple as that!But don’t forget, you’ll lose any leftover credit when changing your plan so you’ll probably want to wait until you’re completely out of fuel first!

What’s left? - How to check your balance

Checking your balance is super easy.

Mobile phone customers:

1. The quickest and easiest way to check is by using the ONEmobile app!

2. Or you can check your balance by sending a text to the ‘SMS top up’ number in your phone book 0466012123 (it’s free!).

You’ll need to include the word ‘balance’ a space and then your password, for example: balance password

You’ll then receive a message back, that will tell you how much credit you have left, or how many minutes’ texts and data you have left. It’ll also tell you how long you have until your credits expire.

3. Alternatively, you can check your balance in your Members Area by logging in via the website, www.onemobile.com.au

Mobile broadband customers (Surfies):

Remember! Only our TT’s plans allow your credit to rollover. So, on any other plan if you still have credit left when you recharge your plan, you’ll lose it.

You can also change your plan simply by recharging with whichever plan you like. But once again, you’ll lose any leftover credits that you may have in the process of changing.

Finally, when you recharge, it can take up to 30 minutes for the recharge to complete so if it looks like it hasn’t worked straight away, don’t stress – you can’t hurry love!

Caps, Low Riders and Ninja Thumbs.

Premium SMS & MMS – 19 numbers

Unfortunately not all of our plans allow you to use the premium SMS services.The plans that don’t allow it are:

  • TT’s 10, 20 and 30
  • Da Bomb

If you want to be able to access these premium services, you’ll need to select another plan like our Caps, Low Riders or Ninja Thumbs.

Premium SMS and MMS services offer information and entertainment for your mobile.

For example; ringtones, games, weather and voting in TV competitions. You ‘sign up’ for a premium service by texting a ‘19’ number.

They’re called ‘premium services’ because you’ll be charged a ‘premium’ for the service.

Always remember that the cost of these services is higher than for standard text messages. They can be charged as a fixed amount, via a subscription fee, on a timed rate basis, or even by the amount of data used. A connection fee may also apply.

Make sure you’re aware of the terms and conditions that will apply to your use of these services including the cost, frequency and how to cancel them. You’re responsible for the cost of any calls made from your phone, including calls made by someone else, without your knowledge. To manage your use of premium services, check the cost of a service before using it and keep track of how often and for how long you use the services, make the calls and receive premium SMS.

If you want to stop receiving these services, you can text the word ‘STOP’ to the ‘19’ number that you originally subscribed to. You can also bar access to premium services completely by calling us on 133 001 from your mobile handset.

You can easily find out more information about premium services at the following website: www.19sms.com.au
