From 18 April 2025, if you want to transfer your nbn service to another provider, you’ll need your nbn AVC ID.

An nbn AVC ID is a unique 15-character ID number that identifies your nbn service, e.g. “AVC123456789000”.

nbn AVC IDs are required by the Australian Consumer and Media Authority (ACMA) to help regulate nbn service transfers, making them more accurate and secure.

You’ll find your nbn service ID in at least one of these places:

  • On your invoice/bill
  • In your nbn provider’s customer web portal or app
  • Through a web chat with your nbn provider

Other nbn® providers

You may find your current provider's instructions for locating your AVC ID on these pages:

iiNet nbn® services

If you have an iiNet service, your nbn AVC ID is on your invoice. You can get a copy of your invoice at any time in Toolbox. Learn more.

In the Internet or Broadband section, look for “Access Service ID (AVC ID)” listed next to your nbn plan:

Example 1

iiNet invoice example 1 - nbn AVC ID

Example 2

iiNet invoice example 2 - nbn AVC ID

Example 3

iiNet invoice example 3 - nbn AVC ID

Still can’t find your nbn AVC ID? Contact your current nbn provider and they can tell you.

A factory reset is a last resort to fix a problem with your modem settings, or if you can't remember the modem password. You'll lose all your custom settings including any custom Wi-Fi name and password, so be ready to set up your modem again afterwards.

Don't have an iiNet modem? Check the manufacturer's website for a guide.

We may provide an interim Mobile Broadband solution with a Pocket Wi-Fi® 4 when your nbn connection or fault is delayed by more than 3 days.

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

Set up your Pocket Wi-Fi® 4

  1. Insert the SIM into the slot with its chip side facing down and the notched side facing out.
  2. Use the supplied power cable to connect the Pocket Wi-Fi® 4 to an electrical socket. You’ll see a charge indicator on the screen.
  3. Once fully charged, press and hold the Power button on the side of the Pocket Wi-Fi®4 4G until it lights up.
    Note: The device automatically searches for the mobile network after it is powered on and the LED signal light will turn white.
  4. Connect the Pocket Wi-Fi® 4 to your devices to access the Internet. Refer to the Reminder Card in the box or remove the back cover to view the default Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password (WIFI KEY).
    Pocket WiFi® 4 - WiFi Details
    Note: You can also connect a computer to the Pocket Wi-Fi® 4 using the Micro USB cable included. You’d be using a Local Area Network (LAN), instead of Wi-Fi, so it should automatically connect.

 

Changing the Wi-Fi name and password

  1. On a device that's connected to your Pocket Wi-Fi®4, open your web browser and go to https://pocket.wifi or https://192.168.0.1.
    Note: If you’re connected to the Pocket Wi-Fi® 4 using the Micro USB cable from your PC, you can also open the dashboard by clicking on the shortcut icon on your desktop.
  2. Log in with the default password “admin”, or use your custom password.
    Note: If you’ve changed the admin password but don’t remember it, you can reset it by factory resetting the device.
  3. From the Pocket Wi-Fi tab, select Wi-Fi and then click Security.
  4. Enter your desired network name in the SSID field.
  5. Enter your desired new password in the Key field.
  6. Hit Save to finish.

 

Troubleshooting

Unable to connect to the Internet

  1. Make sure the Pocket Wi-Fi® 4 is turned on and has sufficient battery charge.
    Press the Power button to bring the Pocket Wi-Fi® 4 out of sleep mode.
  2. Make sure you're in an area with iiNet mobile coverage.
  3. Restart the Pocket Wi-Fi®.
  4. The Pocket Wi-Fi® can support a maximum of 10 devices. You can disconnect some devices by simply turning them off.

Factory reset your Pocket Wi-Fi® 4

This is recommended as a last resort.

  1. While the Pocket Wi-Fi® 4 is on, take off the back cover and find the reset button.
    Pocket WiFi® 4 - Reset button
  2. Using a pen or paper clip, press the rest button and hold it down for 5 seconds, until it restarts.
  3. Replace the battery cover. Once the device restarts, it will be restored to factory settings, including the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password (Wi-Fi Key).

Emergency calls should be used to request help from an emergency service organisation in a life threatening and/or time critical event.

If you’re considering making an emergency call, stay focused, stay relevant and pose these questions to yourself.

  • Is someone seriously injured or in need of urgent medical help?
  • Is your life or property being threatened?
  • Have you just witnessed a serious accident or crime?

If yes, then call triple zero (000). Triple zero calls are free.

You’ll be asked whether you want to speak with:

  • Police
  • Fire
  • Ambulance

Stay calm, don't shout, speak slowly and clearly. Tell them exactly where to go — give an address or location.

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

Other emergency numbers

Text Emergency Call - 106 text emergency call. You can call from teletypewriters. Tell us which service you need and where to come to.

Storm and flood assistance – call 132 500

Fire – other than in an emergency, contact your state or territory service.

Emergencyplus – Download and read about the emergencyplus application.

Police – call 131 444 for police other than in an emergency

Crime Stoppers – call 1800 333 000 to help solve a crime

Poisons Information Centre – call 13 11 26

There's more information about emergency calls on the federal government's triple zero website.

Advances in technology have improved the range of accessible services for people who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech impairment. For more information, check out Access Hub.

If you dial 112 while you're in a coverage area overseas, you'll be connected to the local emergency services. You can also check Smartraveller for details on the destination you are visiting too, as they will have their own Emergency Service Numbers.

In Australia emergency calls to Triple Zero can be made with or without an active SIM in your phone.

If your phone does not have access to the iiNet network you may still be able to make an emergency call on another mobile network, which is why you may see 'Emergency calls only' or similar on the screen.

Emergency calls can be made wherever your phone can see any mobile telecommunications network, however if you are travelling in a rural or remote area you should not rely upon your mobile phone to make an emergency call as there may be no mobile telecommunications network available, instead you should have other means of communications such as a satellite phone and for emergencies, carry an emergency beacon.

When calling an emergency call number, information such as your number, name and service location (where available) will be disclosed to the emergency call person (the operator) and the emergency service organisations, regardless of your caller ID settings.

Using a device other than an approved device may impact your ability to call emergency services.

Location information

Location information is critical in providing emergency services to provide the necessary service. In particular, the ability to provide enhanced location information is important where the caller may be unable to identify their location.

In the event of making an emergency call we will supply relevant location information to the emergency call person and the relevant emergency service organisation (police, fire or ambulance) to enable them to corroborate your location. We use a range of technical solutions to do this and they are constantly being reviewed and improved.

These include:

  • Push Mobile Location Information (MoLI). MoLI is the location of the cell site from which a mobile call to Triple Zero is made. This is supplied to emergency services for all emergency calls.
     
  • Advanced Mobile Location (AML). AML is technology that allows mobile devices to send a location estimate when a call is made to Triple Zero. This improved outcomes for mobile callers in Australia and has the potential to save lives, as it is doing in the locations in which it has already been deployed.

For more information about AML, head to the federal government's triple zero website.

What it costs

There is no charge for calls made to emergency services regardless of whether your service is active or inactive.

This article will explain the status lights found on the Nokia FastMile 3.2 5G Modem, which may be useful during setup and troubleshooting.

iiNet's Remote ID Validation Tool helps to protect you from a transaction being made using your identity without your permission.

How does it work?

We will SMS you a link to the iiNet Remote ID Validation Tool. From there, you will be guided through each step. You will be asked to:

  • Take and upload a photograph of your identification document (Australian driver’s licence, Passport of any country or Proof of Age Card)
  • Confirm that the written information collected from your ID is correct.
  • Take a selfie to establish that you are the owner of the identification provided.

To participate in this remote validation process, you will need to expressly consent to us collecting and using your personal information (including any sensitive information) for this purpose. Check out our Privacy Statement for details on how we handle your personal information.

 

How do we use the data?

The iiNet Remote ID Validation Tool uses biometric measurements from your photo and compares it to your ID to validate a match. It also completes a number of checks on the security features of your ID document to ensure it is legitimate.

Check out our Privacy Statement for details on how we handle your personal information.
