Take your SIM overseas

In Zone 1 countries, one flat daily pack covers your calls, texts and data. All roaming prices include GST and are taken from your account balance.

A pack can apply more than once in the same calendar day. Once any one allowance is exceeded that day, a new $10 pack is applied and what is left on the earlier pack is forfeited.

Zone 2 and Zone 3: pay as you go

Charged per use to your account balance and not covered by your plan inclusions. Zone 3 covers satellite and maritime networks.

Type of useZone 2Zone 3
Voice or video call, made or received (per min)$1.84$4.89
SMS sent (per 160 chars)$0.62$1.84
Receiving an SMS$0.00$0.00
Mobile data (per MB)$1.23$18.95
Connection fee (per outgoing call)$0.00$0.00

Watch your data. Data in Zone 2 and Zone 3 is charged per MB and can cost a lot very quickly. Turn off mobile data and data roaming before you travel, or use a local SIM.

Roaming may be disabled. If we detect that you are in a Zone 2 or Zone 3 country, international roaming may be disabled on your service due to the high costs.

Before you order

The practical details, in plain language.

What you need

  • An unlocked, 5G-compatible phone. A 4G-only phone works, but only on the 4G network.
  • A Crazytel SIM. Postage of your first SIM is free.
  • Auto Top-Up switched on, so your monthly plan fee and any extras can be taken.

We do not supply handsets, and smartwatches that use eSIM are not supported. 5G is not available in all areas.

How billing works

Crazytel Mobile uses a Hybrid Prepaid model. Your plan fee is charged each month and renews until you cancel or port out.

Anything outside your plan, such as international calls, comes out of your account balance. If the balance reaches zero or goes negative, calls and SMS are paused. If it stays negative for 30 consecutive days, your service is cancelled.

International calls may be suspended if usage exceeds $200 in a billing cycle. Read the Hybrid Billing Policy.

Up and running in three steps

  1. Create your account

    Sign up online and set up Auto Top-Up. You manage everything from your Crazytel account.

  2. Order your SIM

    Choose a Crazy 5G plan and order your SIM. Postage of your first SIM is free. You can port your existing number across from another provider.

  3. Activate and connect

    Pop the SIM into your 5G phone and you are on the Optus network. Check your usage any time at myaccount.crazytel.com.au.

Frequently asked questions

Is 5G available everywhere?

No. 5G is not available in all areas. Where 5G is not available, your service runs on the Optus 4G network. Download speeds are capped at 150Mbps on 5G.

Do I need a 5G phone?

You need an unlocked, 5G-compatible phone and a Crazytel SIM. A 4G-only phone will work, but only on the 4G network. We do not supply handsets, and smartwatches that use eSIM are not supported.

What happens when I use all my data?

There are no excess data charges. When you use your full monthly allowance, your data is stopped (not slowed) until your next billing day. Calls and texts are not affected. Data top-ups are not currently available.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. The minimum term is 1 month and the early termination charge is $0. You can cancel or port out at any time with no exit fee. We do not give pro-rated credits for part of a billing period.

Can I keep my current number?

Yes. Your number can be ported in from another provider.

How does billing work?

Crazytel Mobile uses a Hybrid Prepaid model. Your plan fee is charged each month and renews until you cancel or port out, so Auto Top-Up must stay enabled. Anything outside your plan, such as international calls, is taken from your account balance. If your balance reaches zero or goes negative, calls and SMS are paused, and if it stays negative for 30 consecutive days your service is cancelled. International calls may be suspended if usage exceeds $200 in a billing cycle.

Can I use my SIM overseas?

Yes, in the countries listed on this page. In a Zone 1 country, a 5G roaming pack costs $10 per day and includes 3000 voice minutes, 3000 SMS and 5GB of data. Zone 2 and Zone 3 are pay as you go and charged to your account balance, and if we detect you are in a Zone 2 or Zone 3 country, international roaming may be disabled due to the high costs. If a country is not listed, roaming is not available there and you may need a local SIM.

How do I check my usage?

Log in at myaccount.crazytel.com.au. Usage is refreshed about every 30 minutes. We also send SMS alerts when you are close to using your data, and a final SMS when it runs out.

What does it cost to post my first SIM?

Nothing. Postage of your first SIM is free.
