Please note: When activating the sim, you will be asked for either your passport or debit/credit card details for verification purposes. You can try to activate this sim before you depart your country however, the carriers online activation system is linked with Australia's immigration system so it may not let you activate prior if your Visa is not yet valid/you have not entered the country. Use debit/credit card details for verification if that is the case. However, please do not attempt activating the sim abroad more than twice if activation is unsuccessful as the carrier will lock the sim after multiple failed attempts. You will be able to access the activation website from the sim on your phone when you land in Australia so we suggest activating it then.
