Can I put my SIM into another device?
Learn more about swapping your physical SIM card between devices.
Take me to
Whether you can put your SIM into another device depends on the plan you’re on. On some plans, our SIM cards are protected by a device restriction. This means you can’t move the SIM card on those plans from your tablet into a mobile phone and still access data.
You can move SIM cards between devices on:
- All Pre-Paid plans
- All Upfront mobile plans.
You can’t move a SIM card to a handheld device from:
- Upfront data and tablet plans.
What if the SIM card size is different?
Most major smartphones from 2012 onwards use a nano SIM card. If yours uses a different SIM card, visit your local Telstra store and request a SIM replacement.
A SIM replacement is free and can usually be organised in just a few minutes. Bring ID so the store can confirm you're the owner of the service.
