Switching to Pivotel
- Check your phone is unlocked and works on the Vodafone network, because Pivotel uses it. Look at the coverage map for the places you live and work.
- Keep your number: ask Pivotel to move it when you sign up, and don't cancel your old plan first. Your old provider texts a code to confirm, and the move is usually done the same day.
- Expect a bill, not a recharge: it's postpaid. The smallest first bill is $11.45 (Pivotel 25GB).
- None of the 3 Pivotel plans we track has a lock-in contract, so you can leave without a fee.
- No eSIM is listed on these plans, so you'll wait for a SIM to arrive.
- Our data says that if your data runs out it stops until the next recharge or month, with no extra charge.
- Deal prices are for new services only. Moving your number to this provider counts as new, but check the terms on the plan page.

Runs on Vodafone's 4G network only; there is no 5G on these plans.
When the monthly data is used up, extra data is billed automatically at $2 for each 1GB (Critical Information Summary); we treat that as data stopping, so check your usage.
The plans page offers a physical SIM and doesn't mention eSIM, so eSIM isn't counted.
Pay by direct debit from a Visa or Mastercard; prepaid cards aren't accepted.
$5 a month off when bundled with a Pivotel nbn service; we don't count that.
