Important Things You Need To Know

About your mobile plan

General for all plans:

All iiNet mobile plans are prepaid and auto-renew every month until you cancel. The recurring monthly plan fee is charged in advance, 7 days before the start of the next billing cycle.

Included Data:

All data for use in Australia within 4G coverage areas. When customers are not within a 4G coverage area, the mobile service will automatically switch over to 3G and speeds will be much less than that of 4G.

Actual speeds and functionalities may vary due to things like device capability, location, and network congestion.

iiNet Mobile plans have a specific amount of included data each month. Data usage (including for social networking) is not unlimited and will be taken out of your included data. Once all included data has been used, data will not be available until your next monthly billing cycle, unless you purchase Excess Data. Tethering is permitted to personal devices only, but must not be used in a modem or as a substitute for a home internet service.

iiNet will endeavour to warn you via SMS when you are about to exceed and have exceeded your included plan value amount. iiNet displays the information regarding usage to you at toolbox.iinet.net.au. Usage will generally appear in Toolbox within 48 hours. You are responsible for any usage irrespective of any warnings.
