Cheapest Sim Card for Mobile Number - for Receiving Calls & SMS Only

Hi,

I am wanting to get a sim card to use only for getting calls and SMS. I do not want to send or make any calls.

What is the cheapest Sim I can get that allows me to recharge the least amount so I can keep the Sim active?
I remember Lebara would let you recharge $5 and that would keep the Sim active for three years - not sure if they still offer it.

I saw there was another thread similar to this question posted recently but the suggestion in that were $40 plus!

Thanks,

    Amaysim PAYG https://www.amaysim.com.au/sim-plans/28-day-sim-plans/as-you… - $10/year, eSIM or physical SIM

  • Lebara still offer this. From memory, the minimum is $10 or $15 for 365 day credit with no data. Perfect for an alternate mobile number that you use only for things like ATO and banking 2FA and contact details.

  • Optus flex use to be great for this and you only needed to spend $1 every 6 months or top up $1 to message/call on that day. Soon to be phased out though hence why I'm here 😔

  • I just bought the Amaysim $10 starter kit from K-Mart for $5. Activated it tonight and it lets you pick the PAYG option (at the very bottom of the screen once you click on more options).

    • so basically by doing this, you can buy the $10 365d plan for $5? thanks

      • Yes provided they have stock, it’s on clearance. The first one I went to had no stock, the second one about 8/9 left.

        • Thanks mate - that would not be a problem as i finally find something i can leverage my onepass membership.
