Which $1/ $2 Sim Can Be Activated with No Recharge

Need to do an optus to amaysim port soon and need to go through a third ISP to speed up the process. Vodafone now require X dollars recharge before activation can proceed. Any other free options available? Is Telstra still free? Thanks for any advice.

    Telstra, select "recharge later" when asked to choose a plan.

  • There are incoming legislation changes

    Vodafone has chosen not to wait for them to take effect, but all $2 sims will require some form of recharge starting i think Oct 1 this year.

    Optus is going to phase the $2 sims out and just sell starters with credit already loaded
    No indication what telstra or others will do, most likely just like Vodafone require a recharge at time of activation.

    It has not been widely reported in press, i suspect it will be when the changes are getting closer.

  • Lycamobile, order the free sim online and it is delivered to you. Though sometimes my sim has gotten lost / not received before.

  • Merged from Which $2 Sim Has No Activation Fee?

    Looking for $2 sim only with number for inbound text and calls only. Can you please recommend some that have no activation / min recharge fees as I don’t care about calling out or data.

    Thank you

    • Telstra, Boost (valid for 6 months from activation date). I think Optus also but you have to activate it via the online chat to avoid buying credit.

      • For Telstra network have you tried it yourself? Because I couldn’t find the exact info on their website

        • Yes and have even talked to Boost customer service on the phone and they confirmed the same thing.

        • just activated my free $2 telstra sim yesterday. You'll need to fill in all the identification details through the online activation link, choose the type of prepaid (i chose day to day) and it will activate straight away. They will ask you to top up you can ignore it and still receive calls and sms

      • Isn't there free Telstra SIMs or do they have to be activated/credited to work?
