Why Internode SIM Only Plans?

Our month-to-month SIM-only plans are completely flexible. No-lock-in contract means you can change plan or cancel anytime. Plus, you can keep your existing number.

Easy online activation
We’ll fast-track the delivery of your free physical SIM at no extra cost. You can activate your SIM in My Internode as soon as it arrives.

If you are already an Internode customer and need a replacement SIM, please call 1300 704 037.

We use the 4G Vodafone network, as well as 5G Vodafone network on select plans.

5G-eligible Internode mobile plans:

  • $35 Medium plan (purchased on or after 2 August 2024)
  • $45 Large plan (purchased on or after 2 August 2024)
  • $39.99 Extra Large plan (purchased between 9 September 2021 and 1 August 20244)

Vodafone has expanded its 5G coverage for customers with specific devices. In non-5G coverage areas, or if you don’t have an eligible Internode mobile plan or compatible 5G phone, you’ll automatically connect to the 4G network, where it’s available.

Use our network coverage checker below to see the 4G and 5G coverage in your area. This Australian network coverage map should be used as a guide only - whilst we try to ensure accuracy; factors such as building construction, local conditions, device and software, download source and traffic volumes may impact your experience. While we continue to support you on our reliable 4G network, Vodafone’s 5G network is progressively being rolled out to selected areas of major Australian cities.

An Internode SIM can only be used with approved devices. Using a device on our network other than an approved Internode device may impact your ability to make calls including emergency 000 service calls or access our full 5G coverage.

General for all plans:

All Internode mobile plans are prepaid and auto-renew every month until you cancel. The recurring monthly plan fee is charged in advance, 7 days before the start of the next billing cycle.

Speed caps:

For Internode mobile plans purchased after 2 August 2024, plans are speed capped at:

  • Small Plan: 150Mbps on our 4G network
  • Medium Plan: 150Mbps on our 4G and 5G networks
  • Large Plan: 250Mbps on our 4G and 5G networks

These speeds are the maximum potential speeds that you may get access to. The actual network speed you experience may be slower and will vary depending on various factors including your device, location, available bandwidth and source of download.

Additional prepaid balance

Purchasing a prepaid balance is optional – your default prepaid balance is $0, and you can use the included value of your plan without a prepaid balance. A prepaid balance allows you to use additional features that aren’t included in your plan, such as:

  • Calls, SMS and MMS to international numbers
  • Excess data ($10 for 2GB)
  • International roaming (making calls, using data and sending SMS/MMS while overseas).

Excess data:

Excess data is not included in your plan and requires a prepaid balance of at least $10 otherwise your mobile data will become inactive until next month’s billing cycle.

If you use up the amount of data included in your mobile plan, then:

  • if you have a prepaid balance of at least $10, 2GB and a charge of $10 will be automatically added to your plan;
  • if you don’t have a prepaid balance of at least $10, your mobile data will become inactive until your next billing month activates, or your balance is topped up to the minimum $10 charge.

2GB of data for $10 will be automatically added as many times as needed during your billing cycle, provided that you have a sufficient prepaid balance.

International calls and SMS:

The following standard international calls and SMS are included in all Internode mobile plans purchased after 2 August 2024:

  • Small plan (which includes 100 minutes of international calls and SMS to 31 countries each month).
  • Medium and Large plans (which include unlimited minutes of international calls and SMS to 31 countries each month).

Check out our international call rates for a full list of included countries and call rates.

International roaming:

International roaming is not available on Internode SIM Only mobile plans.

Calls to emergency services:

You can contact emergency services using an Internode approved device. Using a device other than an approved Internode device may impact your ability to call emergency services.

  • Unlimited calls, SMS and MMS to standard Australian numbers
  • Included data as specified for the plan you have purchased
  • Included international calls and SMS as specified for the plan you have purchased
  • Unlimited voicemail deposit and retrieval

Standard rates apply for usage outside of the included calls and for excess data. Unused included calls and included data are forfeited at the end of each monthly billing period. Any unlimited usage provided is only for use in Australia.

Internode plans have a specific amount of included data each month. Data usage is not unlimited and will be taken out of your included data.

  • If you exceed your plan's included mobile data amount, additional excess data usage charges may apply.
  • Any unused data does not roll over into subsequent months and will be forfeited at the end of each monthly billing period.
  • Data usage records in My Internode may be delayed by up to 30 minutes.
  • Data usage includes combined upload and download data transfer.
  • Some mobile phones have the capability to run multiple data sessions at the same time. This will be recorded in your mobile usage as overlapping data usage within the same time periods.

All data for use in Australia within 4G and 5G coverage areas. A 5G-enabled phone is required in a 5G coverage area to access the 5G network. If you are not within a 5G coverage area, your service will automatically switch over to 4G and speeds will be less than that of 5G. Actual speeds and functionalities may vary due to things like device capability, location, and network congestion.

  • Calls to international numbers after the first 100 minutes and 100 SMS (Small plan only)
  • MMS to international numbers

You can check or top up your prepaid balance by logging into My Internode. If you choose to top up your prepaid balance (minimum $10), the amount will be debited from your nominated bank account or credit card. If your service is cancelled any unused prepaid balance will not be refunded to you.

How am I billed for my mobile service?

Internode's SIM Only plans are billed on a prepaid month-to-month basis. When you sign up, we will debit your bank account or credit card for:

  • the first month's monthly charge
  • any prepaid balance you have requested during sign up

For the following months, you will be charged 7 days before the end of the monthly period for your next month’s service.

What happens if I use more than my included value?

You will be charged for the calls, SMS or MMS made outside your included value based on the call rates advertised. These funds will be taken out of your prepaid balance.

If you use up your included data, we will automatically charge $10 to your prepaid balance and provide you with 2GB of data. If your prepaid balance is less than $10 you will not be able to use data until you top up your prepaid balance, or until the start of your next billing month when your included data resets.

Will you let me know if I have reached my included value?

Yes. We will send you a text if you reach 50% and 85% or if you use up your included data and/or international call minutes and SMS.

How can I keep track of my data and call usage?

You can monitor your actual usage by logging into My Internode. The usage displayed will be delayed for some call types and data usage for up to 30 minutes. This could be longer for international roaming usage and for any third-party services ordered through your mobile service. You can turn off data, bar outbound calls of various types, restrict roaming and make use of other spend management tools at no charge all via My Internode.

Can I change to a different Internode mobile plan?

Internode offers a no lock-in contract on all mobile plans, meaning you can change to a different plan if your needs change. To change your plan, login to My Internode and select ‘Change Plan’. Then, follow the prompts. Any change of plan will come into effect from the start of your next billing period.

Can I bring my own number?

Of course! Once you’ve chosen an Internode mobile plan, you’ll be asked to select between getting a new number or transferring your number to Internode from another provider.

What is 5G?

5G is the fifth generation of mobile technology that is capable of much faster speeds compared to 4G. You can access the 5G network if you have a 5G approved device and you’re in a 5G coverage area. If you don’t have 5G coverage, an eligible Internode mobile plan or 5G-enabled device, you’ll continue to automatically connect to the 4G network, where it’s available

Can I use internet tethering with Internode mobile?
