How long will my SIM activation take?

Transferring your number to Goodtel

You can initiate your SIM activation at any time, but generally activations are only processed between 8am-6pm on weekdays, and 10am-6pm on Saturdays, Sydney time.


Your activation can take up to 4 hours, but usually only takes a few minutes. You won't have any down time during the process - when your current SIM goes into SOS, that's your cue to pop your new, really good, Goodtel SIM in.


Getting a new number from Goodtel

Usually only 5 minutes, but can take up to 3 hours. We'll send an SMS to the new SIM card when it's ready to go.
