To activate your new TPG SIM card, please enter the TPG mobile number for which you would like to activate your new SIM for on the page https://www.tpg.com.au/sim-activate. An SMS message with a verification code will be sent to this mobile number.
Activate your Mobile SIM
1. Wait for your SIM to arrive before you attempt to activate.
2. Log in to My Account.

3. Click the check box and select Get Started.
4. New mobile numbers and replacement SIMs typically activate within a few hours, but please allow up to 48 hours for SIM activation.
5. If you’re porting your mobile number to TPG from another provider, make sure your current mobile service is active and ready to receive an SMS. Tick the checkboxes and hit Activate SIM Card.
6. A porting authorisation SMS will be sent to your mobile number such as the example below.
Example:
“Use XXXXXX as your verification code to transfer this mobile number to TPG. Please do not reply to this SMS“.
