The Optus $39 Prepaid 5G SIM Starter Kit provides a physical multi-fit SIM and a $39 recharge for an eligible new Optus prepaid service. It is designed for customers activating a new service or requesting to transfer an eligible active Australian mobile number to Optus.
This pack is different from a SIM-only $2 starter pack: it includes a $39 recharge when the SIM is activated as an eligible new service in accordance with the current pack and Optus terms. Plan inclusions, promotional data, expiry periods and activation deadlines can change, so check the packaging and current Optus Critical Information Summary before opening or activating the SIM.

Optus controls activation, number transfer, recharge eligibility, plan approval, network access and service support. JPC Mobile - Tech Repair & Accessories supplies the sealed starter pack but cannot guarantee coverage, activation timing, porting approval or a particular network speed.
5G and network access
The SIM is ready for compatible Optus 4G and Standard 5G services, but 5G is not available in every location. Access requires a compatible unlocked device, an eligible current plan and Optus coverage. Actual speed and availability vary with the device, plan, network conditions and location.
Returns and Australian Consumer Law
Change-of-mind returns are not available for SIM cards or mobile phone recharges. This does not exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, including rights relating to faulty or misdescribed goods.
