Getting Started
Once you have your new Telstra Pre-Paid SIM card, just follow the next steps to get going.
Step 1. You can Activate your SIM card by going to telstra.com.au/activate or by calling 12 5 8887, and follow the prompts for Tablets.If you’re calling from a non-Telstra service and are having trouble getting through, call 13 22 00 and say “Pre-Paid” when prompted.
You’ll also need:
- Identification such as driver’s license or passport and your date of birth
- The service number and SIM serial number that can be found on the back of the back of starter pack, or box.
