If you need to contact us, see Contact Us on our website.

Billing Contact
Each Billing contact is an “account holder”. Some Billing contacts may be labelled "Secondary contacts" in our billing system but they have the same authority.
Billing contacts can:
- Add new contacts to an account
- Edit existing account contacts
- Add, change, or relocate any non-telephony services on the account
- Cancel services* or close an account
- Lodge service faults**
- Access invoices and other billing/payment information
- Change payment details
- Request to link accounts that have the same account holder (full name and date of birth must match
Billing contacts can't:
- *Add, change, cancel or relocate any phone services unless they're also listed as a Phone contact.
- **Lodge phone faults unless they're also listed as a Phone contact.
Phone Contact
The Phone contact (aka Legal Lessee) has authority over all phone services on the account.
A Phone contact can:
- Add a new phone service to the account
- Make changes to phone services*
- Cancel or relocate phone services
- Lodge phone faults
A Phone contact can't:
- Add, change, cancel or relocate any non-phone services on the account like nbn unless they're also listed as a Billing contact.
- Lodge non-phone faults unless they're also listed as a Billing contact.
- *Change a phone service in a way that will increase the plan fee or incur a one-off charge, unless they're also listed as a Billing contact.
If the Phone contact and Billing contact are two different people, we'll need authorisation from both people. If the other contact isn't with you when you call us, we can conference call them using the contact number listed on the account.
Technical Contact
Technical contacts can make technical changes to the account without having access to billing information.
Technical contacts can:
- Troubleshoot a service with our Support Team
- Lodge a service fault (provided a Billing contact has accepted responsibility for a possible Incorrect Callout Fee)
Technical contacts can't:
- Access billing information or service passwords
- Change account details
- Add, change, cancel or relocate any services
User Contact
User contacts are the same as Technical contacts, except they can't lodge any service faults.

- The example given below contains two calendars; 'Private' and 'Work'. These folders can be accessed via Folder, Contacts or Calendar view. In Calendar view, ensure that the calendars you wish to view are selected and enabled by setting its checkbox. Any new calendars created through the webmail interface will only be available once a sync has been completed in Outlook.

- Calendar events
- Tasks
The data synchronised is made available via the Webmail interface, allowing you to keep Outlook and Webmail in sync. Any new data created in either Outlook or the Webmail interface are synchronised together.

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
- What to do if your VoIP service is compromised
- Tips for better account security
What happens if a VoIP service is compromised
- Your VoIP call history is monitored, but it can take up to 48 hours for call records to reach us.
- If we detect any suspicious call activity then your VoIP service will be suspended to stop the calls.
- An email and SMS about the suspension will be sent to the contact details listed on your account.
- We'll try to contact you within 48 hours to help secure your account again, or you can 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 trouble using it, you may need to hire a computer technician to help.
- Make sure any Remote Management/Remote Connect feature is turned off in your modem settings.
- Change your modem password and Wi-Fi password.
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.
- Change the password for your email address(es).
- Once you're done, you can call us on 13 22 58 to ask for your VoIP service to be unsuspended. Unsuspension may take up to 2 business days.
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.
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.
- 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 your modem is running the latest version of firmware.

Can I keep my existing mobile number?
Yes, you can port your mobile number to iiNet. To help things go smoothly, you'll need to give us these details about your current mobile service:
- Post-paid mobile services: we need the account number for your current mobile service, which can typically be found on an invoice from your current mobile provider.
- Prepaid mobile services: we need date of birth of the account holder for your current mobile service.
Important: Don't cancel your current mobile service - it needs to be active to port your number to us. You can cancel your old mobile service after your number has moved to iiNet.
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.
What is a Prepaid Balance?
You can choose to top up your Prepaid Balance to pay for any calls/texts or data that isn't part of your plan's included value.
The Prepaid Balance helps protect you from bill shock. You choose if and when to top up your Prepaid Balance, so you're in complete control of your spending and there's no nasty surprises for excess usage on your invoice.
To top up your Prepaid Balance, log into Toolbox and hit Add Prepaid Balance.
When do I get charged for my monthly mobile plan fee?
iiNet Mobile is a prepaid month-to-month subscription that's automatically renewed each month. Each month is billed in advance. You'll be charged for your next monthly plan fee 7 days before your next billing period begins. For example, if your billing period usually starts on the 10th of each month, you'll be charged on the 3rd.
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?
Sorry, we can't do this. If you're going on an extended holiday and you don't want to lose your mobile number by cancelling your mobile service, we recommend changing to our cheapest mobile plan while you're not using it.
Managing and using your iiNet mobile service
How can I track my call and data usage?
You can check your usage in Toolbox.
What happens if I use all my monthly data?
If you have $10 in your Prepaid Balance, a 2GB data block will be automatically purchased for $10.
If you don't have enough Prepaid Balance for a data block, mobile data will be unavailable until your next billing period unless you top up your Prepaid Balance in Toolbox.
Note: Data blocks don't roll over to the next billing period.
How do I change my mobile plan?
You can change your iiNet Mobile plan at any time in your Toolbox for no additional fee.
If you requested a plan change at least 7 days before your next billing period, your plan change will happen at the start of your next billing period.
If less than 7 days' notice was given for the plan change, then the plan change will happen at the start of the following billing period. For example, if your next billing period starts on 1 January and you submit a plan change request on 29 December, your new plan will start on 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.
How do I enable international roaming?
-
Log in to Toolbox.
-
Under the Mobile Service, select Settings
-
Set the International Roaming ON/OFF switch to ON.
Is it possible to use premium services on iiNet Mobile?
No. Premium call/SMS services like 19/1900 numbers can't be used on iiNet Mobile.
Can I tether my phone?
Tethering lets your phone act as a Wi-Fi hotspot to let other devices use your mobile data. You can choose to tether your iiNet Mobile, but keep in mind that all data usage comes out of your monthly mobile data.
