What happens if my data runs out?

If you're a Prepaid Customer

If you run out of the included data of your plan, we'll pause your data access. If you want to continue using data, you can choose to add a data top-up ($10/1GB) via the amaysim app. Data top-ups you choose to add, will be added to your plan’s pool of data and expire at the same time as your UNLIMITED plan.

You can also choose to renew your plan early (this will re-start your data allowance).

Alternatively, you can simply wait until your plan has renewed for a new 28 day period in order to access data again.

If you're a Postpaid Customer

To give you continuous data access, we'll automatically add a $10/1GB data top-up to your plan if you run out of your plans included data. Data top-ups will be added to your plan’s pool of data, expire at the same time as your UNLIMITED plan, and be charged as part of your next monthly bill.

If you use up any 1GB data top-ups before your plan renews, we'll simply add another one so you can avoid any nasty bill blowouts.

Renewing & Recharging

By default your UNLIMITED plan will look to automatically renew (recharge) every 28 days.

For Prepaid customers, this can remain a seamless process if you link a payment method to your account, as this allows your UNLIMITED plan to automatically recharge at the end of your 28 day plan period.

If you're Postpaid, your plan will also look to automatically renew by default and you'll find the renewal charge for your UNLIMITED plan when you receive your monthly invoice.

If you do not want your plan to renew automatically, you can switch auto-renew off at any point.

Early Plan Renew

You can renew your mobile plan at any point during an existing renewal period. This can be a handy option if you’re running low on data and want to restart your data allowance.

Recharging using vouchers (Prepaid only)

amaysim recharge vouchers are available in thousands of stores around Australia including Coles, Woolworths, Australia Post, 7-Eleven and more.

If you're recharging using vouchers, remember to purchase a voucher that's the same value as the plan you're trying to recharge.

E.G - If you're looking to recharge UNLIMITED 45GB, you'll need to purchase a $40 voucher and follow the steps to convert the credit to your chosen plan.

How can I use additional services?

To use additional services such as Premium SMS, International Roaming or to make an international call or SMS to a country that's not included in your UNLIMITED plan:

For Prepaid customers, you'll need to make sure you have additional credit in your account to cover the cost of these services.
For Postpaid customers, you'll be able to use these services and will find any additional charges on your next monthly bill.
