Sim Expiration Period (for Sim Porting)

Hi Fellow Ozbers,

I am a newbie to the monthly sim porting between telcos to save a few bucks, since everything is so expensive now.

I thought about stocking up on sims from different telco so I can switch between for later. I am thinking about getting Lebara, Catch, Ezysim.

Does anyone know how long you have after purchase before the sim expires (e.g. can't be activated)? I am buying online and can't find this info anywhere.

Thanks for your help.

  • You usually get a minimum of 1 year, some don't even have expiry dates. Occasionally you might get a Boost SIM with 6 months left on it.
    Those are all fine to buy a few. I typically get them from Coles/Woolies as well, Lebara is often on sale and you can check the expiry before you buy it.

    I wouldn't stress about it too much, just don't go and buy 10 or 15, start off with 3-4 and get a feel for it.

  • EzySim is 60 days from purchase.

  • boost is around 22 weeks
