Previous customers
If you’re no longer with TPG, please follow these instructions to claim your rebate:
- Visit: https://support.tpg.com.au/nbnrebates/tpg
- Confirm your Name, Service Number, Account Number and Rebate Amount. These details can be found in your nbn Rebate email.
- Provide the Account Name, BSB Number and Account Number of your preferred bank account to receive the rebate.
- Your nbn Rebate will be paid to your nominated bank account. Please allow up to 14 working days for payment to clear.
Follow these steps to complete your swap from an existing TPG physical SIM or eSIM to a new TPG eSIM.
Important: Your phone must not be locked to a specific provider. We can't unlock phones for you.
Select one of the links below to jump to a query:
- Make sure you have:
- Your eSIM-compatible phone (to scan the eSIM QR code); and
- Another device like a computer, laptop or tablet (to display the eSIM QR code).
It’s best if both devices are connected to Wi-Fi. Don't have another device? See this advice.
- Use your other device to log in to My Account and hit eSIM Swap.
- Hit Get Started. An authorisation code SMS will be sent to your old SIM. Enter this code in My Account and hit Verify.
Important: If you ever get a call or SMS asking you to authorise a SIM swap that you did not request, do not provide any codes to anyone and call us on 1300 993 019.
- Tick the box to authorise the eSIM swap, then hit Continue.
From this point, the eSIM swap session will expire after 15 minutes. You can try again if your session expires.
- Hit Send Confirmation Code SMS, then use your phone to scan the eSIM QR Code.
- Follow the prompts on your phone to enter your confirmation code and complete your eSIM swap. Your mobile service should be ready in 15 minutes - you may need to restart your phone.
Once your eSIM swap is complete, your old SIM will stop working.
Troubleshooting
How to complete an eSIM swap if you don’t have another device
If you don’t have another device like a computer, laptop or tablet to display the eSIM QR code so that you can scan it with your phone, then you’ll need to use your phone to log in to My Account instead.
- Before you get started, make sure you know how to manually enter eSIM details in your phone settings. The eSIM swap session will expire after 15 minutes, so you may not have time to look this up in the middle of the process. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for a guide if you’re not sure how to do this.
- Instead of scanning the eSIM QR code, write down the eSIM details and then enter them in your phone settings.
- Tear up and dispose of the written eSIM details once you’re done.
What happens if I don’t complete my eSIM Swap?
After entering the authorisation code in My Account, your eSIM swap order will stay open for 2 days. If you don’t complete your eSIM swap within 2 days, your eSIM swap order will be withdrawn. If this happens, you can lodge another eSIM swap order in My Account.
How do I use my eSIM once it's activated?
Check out eSIM Management.
An eSIM is a chip that’s already embedded into your handset or tablet, so you don’t need a physical SIM to use your mobile plan. Once your plan is active on an eSIM, it functions the same way as it would on a physical SIM.
You can select an eSIM when you sign up for TPG Mobile, then follow the activation steps. If you already have TPG Mobile with a physical SIM, check out eSIM Swaps.
For more information about using your eSIM once it's activated, see eSIM Management.
Please note: If your eSIM compatible device isn’t listed on this page, it may not be compatible. TPG eSIM plans are not currently compatible with smart watches or other wearables.

Does VoLTE cost extra or use my mobile data?
No. Voice over LTE is charged in the same way as all other voice calls and doesn’t use your mobile data.
How do I know when I'm using VoLTE?
If you’re using an iPhone, ‘4G’ will be displayed in the status bar when using Voice over LTE.
If you’re using an Android device, ‘VoLTE’ will be displayed in the status bar beside the 4G icon.
Can I use VoLTE to call emergency services?
To keep you safe phones must support Triple Zero (000) calling over 4G (using VoLTE) in the event of an emergency. This is a legal requirement for all phones sold in Australia. Older 3G handsets, as well as some newer 4G/5G handsets (including those purchased overseas or from a retailer selling imported phones), do not meet these standards.
If your phone is on our list of Approved Devices, you should be able to call emergency services over VoLTE.
From 28 October 2024, if you have a device that is not able to make Triple Zero (000) calls, TPG is legally required to stop these mobile phones from accessing the TPG mobile network. This means you will not be able to make or receive calls/texts or use data on the TPG mobile network from this date.
If you have received an SMS and/or email with instructions to update your device’s software or replace it immediately to be able to access emergency 000 calls, see this information.
Note: If you have a Samsung device, you may need to update it several times until your device says 'Your software is up to date' to ensure you can call emergency services.
This article lists the phone numbers that TPG gives to customers so they can call us.
Using the Find tool in your web browser can help you find a specific phone number on this page:
- On Windows desktop, use CTRL + F on your keyboard to open the Find tool.
- On Mac desktop, use Command + F on your keyboard to open the Find tool.
- On Android mobile, tap More options (the three dots in the top right) then Find in page.
- On iOS mobile, tap Share (the square icon with the upwards arrow at the bottom of the screen) then Find on page.

From 18 April 2025, if you want to transfer your nbn service to another provider, you’ll need your nbn AVC ID.
An nbn AVC ID is a unique 15-character ID number that identifies your nbn service, e.g. “AVC123456789000”.
nbn AVC IDs are required by the Australian Consumer and Media Authority (ACMA) to help regulate nbn service transfers, making them more accurate and secure.
You’ll find your nbn service ID in at least one of these places:
- On your invoice/bill
- In your nbn provider’s customer web portal or app
- Through a web chat with your nbn provider
Select one of the links below to jump to a query:

Emergency calls should be used to request help from an emergency service organisation in a life threatening and/or time critical event.
If you’re considering making an emergency call, stay focused, stay relevant and pose these questions to yourself.
- Is someone seriously injured or in need of urgent medical help?
- Is your life or property being threatened?
- Have you just witnessed a serious accident or crime?
If yes, then call triple zero (000). Triple zero calls are free.
You’ll be asked whether you want to speak with:
- Police
- Fire
- Ambulance
Stay calm, don't shout, speak slowly and clearly. Tell them exactly where to go — give an address or location.

Advances in technology have improved the range of accessible services for people who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech impairment. For more information, check out Access Hub.
If you dial 112 while you're in a coverage area overseas, you'll be connected to the emergency service for that location. You can also check Smartraveller for details on the destination you are visiting too, as they will have their own Emergency Service Numbers.
Device information
In Australia emergency calls to Triple Zero can be made with or without an active SIM in your phone.
If your phone does not have access to the TPG network you may still be able to make an emergency call on another mobile network, which is why you may see 'Emergency calls only' or similar on the screen.
Emergency calls can be made wherever your phone can see any mobile telecommunications network, however if you are travelling in a rural or remote area you should not rely upon your mobile phone to make an emergency call as there may be no mobile telecommunications network available, instead you should have other means of communications such as a satellite phone and for emergencies, carry an emergency beacon.
When calling an emergency call number, information such as your number, name and service location (where available) will be disclosed to the emergency call person (the operator) and the emergency service organisations, regardless of your caller ID settings.
Using a device other than an approved device with the latest software may impact your ability to call emergency services.
If you have received an SMS and/or email with instructions to update your device’s software or replace it immediately to be able to access emergency 000 calls, see this information.
Note: If you have a Samsung device, you may need to update it several times until your device says 'Your software is up to date' to ensure you can call emergency services.
Location information
Location information is critical in providing emergency services to provide the necessary service. In particular, the ability to provide enhanced location information is important where the caller may be unable to identify their location.
In the event of making an emergency call we will supply relevant location information to the emergency call person and the relevant emergency service organisation (police, fire or ambulance) to enable them to corroborate your location. We use a range of technical solutions to do this and they are constantly being reviewed and improved. These include:
- Push Mobile Location Information (MoLI). MoLI is the location of the cell site from which a mobile call to Triple Zero is made. This is supplied to emergency services for all emergency calls.
- Advanced Mobile Location (AML). AML is technology that allows mobile devices to send a location estimate when a call is made to Triple Zero. This improved outcomes for mobile callers in Australia and has the potential to save lives, as it is doing in the countries in which it has already been deployed.
For more information about AML, head to the federal government's triple zero website.
What it costs
There is no charge for calls made to emergency services regardless of whether your service is active or inactive.
