iiNet's X account is @iiNet.

If you ask us about your iiNet account or services on X (formerly Twitter), we may ask you for more details so we can help you. These requests will come from our verified @iiNet account.

Accounts other than the @iiNet account are entirely the opinion of the author and not representative of iiNet's position or beliefs. You should only ask the verified @iiNet account about your iiNet account or services.

For detailed queries, we recommend calling or emailing one of our customer service centers. If you need to make a complaint, please see our Complaint Handling Policy.

We keep a copy of your interactions with us on social media, as explained in our privacy statement.

A VoIP service is compromised when a third party obtains your VoIP phone number and password. Compromised VoIP services are commonly used for phone fraud, where the VoIP service is used to make calls to expensive international destinations. The calls may be made using a machine to make as many calls as possible.

Select one of the links below to jump to a query:

What happens if a VoIP service is compromised

  • The call history of your VoIP service is monitored, but there can be up to a 48 hour delay between calls made and calls being recorded on our systems.
  • If our systems detect call activity that resembles a compromised account (e.g. multiple consecutive calls to a high risk international number) then your VoIP service will be suspended.
  • If this occurs, an email and SMS advising of the suspension will be sent to the contact details listed on your account.
  • A member of the iiNet Support Team will attempt to contact you within 48 hours to assist you in securing your account again, or you may call us on 13 22 58.

 

What to do if your VoIP service is compromised

  • Run an antivirus and anti-malware scan on your computer and remove any infections found. If your computer is severely infected and you have difficulty using it, you may need the assistance of a computer technician to get it working again.
     
  • Secure your modem settings:
    - Make sure any Remote Management/Remote Connect functions in your modem settings are disabled;
    - Change your modem settings login password;
    - Change your modem's Wi-Fi password.

    Instructions on how to do this on iiNet modems can be found in the appendix of this guide. If you use a third-party modem, please visit the manufacturer's website for support information.
     
  • Change the password for your email address(es).
     
  • Once all of these security measures have been taken, you may request that your VoIP service be unsuspended (this may take up to 2 business days to process). As always, you are accepting the risk that failure to keep your home network secure may lead to further exploitation of your services and you are liable for any charges resulting from a security breach outside of the iiNet network.
     
  • Remember - the integrity of your network is your responsibility. iiNet cannot ensure that your network and the devices attached to it are secured - we may only be able to secure iiNet provided hardware. Only request that your VoIP service is unsuspended once you know that the problem has been detected and resolved.

 

Tips for better account security

  • Regularly scan your computer for viruses and malware.
  • Make sure your modem and Wi-Fi has a secure password, and don’t share the passwords with anyone you don’t want to have access to your network.
    Check out iiNet Modem Resources for guides on how to change the modem password or Wi-Fi password on your iiNet modem. If you don't have an iiNet modem, check the manufacturer's website for a guide.
  • Never share your passwords over email, instant messengers or social media. If you need to record any password, write it down on a piece of paper and keep it somewhere safe.
  • Never enable remote management on your modem without setting it to a static IP address of a secure computer that is also owned by you. If you don’t set a static IP address for remote management, then any computer can access your modem remotely and potentially compromise your services.
  • Make sure that your modem is running the latest version of its firmware.

Here's what you need to know about iiNet SIM-Only Mobile plans.

Select one of the links below to jump to a query:

Getting iiNet Mobile

Can I sign up for iiNet Mobile without having any other iiNet services?

Yes, you can! Our mobile plans are available to everyone.

 

  • An iiNet Mobile SIM
  • A mobile device that will work on an Australian mobile network and isn’t locked to a non-Vodafone provider (if you’re not sure if your device is locked, please check with the provider you purchased it from).

To use mobile data, your device must support the following frequencies:

  • 850MHz, 1800MHz and 2100MHz (for 4G)
  • 700MHz and 3600MHz (for 5G)

Note: iiNet switched off its 3G network on 15 December 2023.

 

Which SIM types are available?

The following options are available when you sign up for iiNet Mobile:

  • Physical SIM – Delivered to your address and triple-cut with Standard, Micro and Nano SIM sizes.
  • eSIM – Available for download and install on eSIM-compatible mobile devices.

Learn more about SIM types and how to request a replacement SIM here.

 

 

Check your location on our coverage map. It’s updated directly from our network wholesaler, Vodafone.

If 5G coverage is unavailable at your location, your device will default to the 4G network.

 

 

Yes, you can port your mobile number to iiNet. To make sure things go smoothly, be sure to supply the correct details about your existing mobile service:

  • For post-paid mobile services, you must supply the correct account number for your current mobile service. This can typically be found on an invoice from your current mobile provider.
  • For prepaid mobile services, you must supply the correct date of birth of the account holder for your current mobile service.

Do not cancel your current mobile service as it must stay active to receive a porting authorisation SMS.

 

iiNet Mobile billing

Is iiNet Mobile a prepaid service or a post-paid service?

iiNet Mobile is a prepaid service. Your monthly mobile plan fee is renewed automatically using your nominated payment details.

Excess charges are taken out of your optional prepaid balance, which you can top up at any time in Toolbox. If insufficient funds are in your prepaid balance, excess usage will be unavailable.

 

When do I get charged for my monthly mobile plan fee?

iiNet operates on a monthly billing cycle, billed in advance. Your billing cycle will begin when you activate your iiNet SIM, and you will be charged for the monthly plan renewal fee 7 days before your next billing cycle begins. For example:

  • 7 January - Mobile plan ordered and first payment made.
  • 9 January - Mobile SIM arrives and is activated. The billing cycle begins.
  • 2 February - Payment for the next billing cycle is taken.
  • 9 February - Next billing cycle begins.

 

What happens if I don't pay to renew my iiNet mobile plan?

If your payment fails, we'll send you an email and SMS to let you know so you can arrange payment. If your mobile plan renewal fee isn't paid, your mobile plan will be suspended on the date advised in our email/SMS.

If you pay the monthly plan renewal fee, your mobile service will be suspended within 1 business day after payment has cleared. We recommend credit card payment for the fastest resolution as Direct Debit payments can take up to 3 business days to clear.

Please note: If your mobile plan renewal fee remains unpaid for 30 days, your mobile plan will be disconnected. It may not be possible to recover your mobile number if you leave your service disconnected for a long time.

 

Can you suspend my mobile service while I'm on holiday?

No, we cannot suspend your service if you are going away. Charges for your mobile plan will continue as normal.

 

Managing and using your iiNet mobile service

You can monitor your usage by logging in to Toolbox using your iiNet username and password. You'll also receive usage notifications when you use 50%, 85% or 100% of your monthly data limit, or other monthly inclusions.

Data usage is recorded in increments of 1 kilobyte. Both uploads and downloads are counted towards your monthly data quota.

 

Once the included data allowance in your plan is used up, mobile data will be temporarily unavailable until the start of your next billing period.

You can choose to top up your prepaid balance in Toolbox to purchase an additional 2GB data block for $10.

Please note that any unused portion of a data block does not roll over to the next billing period.

 

You can change your iiNet Mobile plan at any time in your Toolbox for no additional fee.

Your plan change will occur at the start of your next billing period. This date is confirmed on-screen when you submit your request.

In the event that you submit a plan change request when your next billing period begins in 7 days or less, your plan will not change until the start of the following biling period. For example, if your next billing period begins on 1 January and you submit a plan change request on 29 December, your new plan will not commence until 1 February.

 

How do I manage my mobile service?

You can check your usage, change your plan, top up your prepaid balance, adjust your mobile settings, request your PUK code and more in Toolbox. Here's a quick overview of what you can do in our self-service customer portal:

How do I enable international roaming?

International Roaming is turned on by default on all iiNet Mobile services sold after 29 November 2023. For all services purchased before this date, please follow the steps below.

  1. Make sure that you read and understand the charges and rates applicable in your destination.

  2. Log in to Toolbox.

  3. Under the Mobile Service, select Settings

  4. Set the International Roaming ON/OFF switch to ON.

  5. Select Enable International Roaming.

  6. Once Pay As You Go International Roaming is enabled, you will receive an email and SMS. You can top up your mobile prepaid balance in Toolbox.

 

Is it possible to use premium services on iiNet Mobile?

No. Premium call/SMS services (e.g. 19/1900 numbers) are disabled on iiNet Mobile.

 

Tethering allows smartphones to act as a Wi-Fi hotspot for a computer or Wi-Fi device to access the internet using your mobile data. By default, all iiNet Mobile plans have this feature enabled, however, it may not work on some mobile devices.

iiNet does not recommend the use of tethering. If you choose to tether, be aware that the data used when tethering DOES count as part of your monthly mobile data allowance.

 

Your iiNet password is used to log in to your Toolbox or Webmail, and verify your identity. Each iiNet internet service and email address has its own password.

 

All iiNet passwords must:

  • Be at least 9 characters long
  • Have at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter
  • Have at least one number (i.e. 0 to 9)
  • Not be based on your account details (e.g. your username, name or birthday)
  • Not contain any spaces or tabs
  • Only contain letters, numbers or other standard characters.
  • Not be the same as previous password (when changing your password)

Other standard characters are:

` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = { [ } ] \ | ; , . / : < > ?

Your password may not contain any other symbols.

Tips for better security:

  • Don’t use the passwords across multiple websites or companies, especially not passwords for banking/credit services. If this password is discovered then you are at risk of serious identity fraud and compromised accounts.
  • Avoid passwords that would be easy for anyone to guess, such as your name or business name.
  • Never reuse old passwords. Use a completely new password every time you change your passwords.
  • If you have trouble keeping track of your passwords, why not write them down and keep them somewhere safe, like the same place you keep your passport or birth certificate?

Forgotten passwords

If you've forgotten your password, try the advice in How to Reset a Forgotten Password. If you're still stuck, please give our friendly Support team a call on 13 22 58. They can get you back on track and you can write down your username and password for future reference.

If your internet plan has a monthly data quota instead of unlimited data, your internet speed may be "shaped" if you use all your monthly data.

This information does not apply to iiNet Mobile.

Select one of the links below to jump to a query:

As a general guide, 1GB of data usage will let you:

  • Receive 1000 emails
  • Surf the web for 20 hours
  • Watch 5 four minute YouTube video clips
  • Download 20 four minute music tracks
  • Download 40 photos

Your usage of each service may vary. The guide above is based on the following assumptions: Email received at 100KB per email, web browsing at 30MB per hour, YouTube 4min video clip at 24MB per clip (standard 360p quality), music downloaded at 4MB per track, photo downloads at 2MB per photo.

 

You can check your data usage in Toolbox.

Toolbox is the best way the check any of the following:

  • If your broadband plan has anytime or peak/offpeak quota
  • When the peak period is (if applicable)
  • When the offpeak period is (if applicable)
  • When your quota resets
  • Which Data Packs are available if your service has been shaped

If you can't log in to Toolbox, please give our friendly Support team a call on 13 22 58. They can get you back on track and you can write down your Toolbox login details for future reference.

 

If your plan has peak/offpeak quota, that means you have two separate quotas – one for a peak period and one for an offpeak period. These quotas are also shaped separately - if you use all of your Peak quota, your service will be shaped during the peak period but it will not be shaped during the offpeak period.

For this reason, you'll need to specifically buy a "Peak" Data Pack in Toolbox if you've used all of your Peak quota and want to get unshaped before your quota resets.

Plans with Anytime quota have a single quota that may be used at any time of the day or night.

Most of our current plans offer anytime quota. Plans with additional wholesale network requirements such as nbn Satellite include peak and offpeak quotas.

 

If you exceed your quota on one of our current fixed-line broadband plans, you will not incur any excess data fees. Instead, the speed of your service will be "shaped" to a slower speed for both downloads and uploads.

This speed varies depending on your specific broadband plan. Common shaping speeds are 128kbps, 256kbps and 512kbps, although different shaping speeds may apply to other plans, particularly those on the latest nbn technologies.

Your internet speeds will return to normal when your quota resets. If you want to remove the shaping before your quota resets, you'll need to either buy a Data Pack or upgrade your plan through your Toolbox.

 

Your quota does not reset if you change plans. Your current quota usage will be deducted from the total quota of your new plan.

You will receive the full quota for your new plan when you begin a new billing cycle.
