joining felix

It’s quick and easy to switch over to felix. Two main things to remember:

- Leave your current provider's active SIM in your phone until your switch is all done (at step three below)

- You don't need to let your current provider know you're switching. We'll look after all that in the backend for you

Switch your number to felix in three steps

1. Sign up in the felix mobile app, verify your email on your phone and select your plan. Choose to then activate your service using an eSIM, a SIM you purchased at a Coles supermarket or a SIM  we’ve sent to you in the mail.

2. Follow the steps in the felix mobile app to activate right away if you’re using an eSIM. If you’re waiting for a physical SIM, log into the felix app and follow the prompts to when it arrives. Switching usually takes just a few minutes* when started between 8am to 8pm Monday-Friday or 10am to 6pm Saturdays (Sydney time).

3. You'll know your felix SIM is activated and your switch has gone through when your previous provider's SIM goes into SOS. You can now go ahead and pop in your felix SIM.

*Switches can take up to three business hours.

felix can only be used in a mobile plan. You can see our approved devices list here. You can choose either an eSIM or physical SIM card.

An eSIM is an embedded SIM card (think of it as a ‘digital SIM card’ that is downloaded onto your phone). It acts the same as a physical SIM but allows for a quicker sign up process. Check if your device is eSIM compatible here.

Our physical SIM cards include a 3-in-1 SIM with the ability to punch out one of the three standard sizes (standard, micro, nano).

We'd love to have you! There are a couple of things you'll need to provide in order to sign up to felix:

- A valid Australian residential address

- A valid Mastercard or Visa credit/debit card, or a PayPal account to purchase your felix subscription.

Please note, if you sign up with an international payment method, a PayPal account, or a card issued by some smaller Aussie financial institutions you will be required to do an ID check before activating your SIM. There are a few ID types you can choose to use for your check. If you choose to use your Foreign Passport with your Australian VISA, you will need to complete the ID check once you've entered Australia. The ID check is done within the felix app and should only take a few minutes to complete.

Please note that your SIM can only be activated in Australia. If you have an eSIM compatible phone, you can switch to felix in minutes.

If you use a promo code with a multi-month discount (e.g. your first three months discounted) and pause before the promo ends, you must pay the full subscription amount to resume your subscription, and then you retain the discount for the remaining months the promo covers.
