To register and activate your Optus SIM, visit optus.com.au/activate, enter your SIM number, provide your personal details and valid ID, select a plan, and follow the prompts to complete activation. Activation can be done online using a computer, tablet, or another phone, and you’ll need a current ID such as a driver’s licence, credit card, or passport. Once activated, insert the SIM into your device and you’re ready to use your Optus service.
Optus makes SIM activation straightforward and accessible. Whether you’re a new or existing customer, you can activate your Optus SIM card online at optus.com.au/activate using any device with internet access.
