Australia number facts
| Country code | +61 |
|---|---|
| Mobile format | 04xx xxx xxx (10 digits nationally, +61 4xx xxx xxx). The 05 range is reserved for future mobile use, apart from 0550. |
| Example | +61 491 570 156 (ACMA lists 0491 570 156 among numbers reserved for fiction.) |
| Main carriers | Telstra, Optus, TPG Telecom. The three national mobile network operators. |
| Number portability | Mobile numbers can be ported between telcos (Numbering Plan 2025, chapter 10), so the 04 prefix does not identify the network. |
| Prepaid SIM rule | Yes. A prepaid mobile service can only be activated after an identity check, a rule in place since 2000 (current Determination 2017, amended in December 2025 to accept Digital ID). |
| VoIP numbers | Yes. 0550 was created in 2007 for location-independent services such as VoIP; its exact status in the 2025 Numbering Plan comes from secondary sources. |
| Price per code | WhatsApp $3.47 · Telegram $2.42 · Google $0.56 |
| Payment | Crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, TRX); top-up from $20 |
| Identity check | None for you: no ID, no selfie, no documents |
What should I know about Australian numbers?
Australia combines a clear mobile range (04) with one of the oldest prepaid ID rules: every prepaid SIM is activated only after an identity check of whoever activates it. That rule concerns the SIM holder, not you; as a customer you upload no document to us.
Australian codes are among the dearest in this list. In October 2026, 5SIM listed WhatsApp at $4.62 and Telegram at $3.22 for Australia, and SMSPool only offered a virtual Australian range.

Frequently asked questions
How do I type an Australian number into an app?
Use +61 followed by the number without its leading 0: 0491 570 156 becomes +61 491 570 156.
Why are Australian codes more expensive?
Supply is smaller and every prepaid SIM must pass an identity check before activation, which limits stock. Public prices reflect it: $4.62 for a WhatsApp code at 5SIM in October 2026.
Is a non-VoIP number always accepted?
No. A non-VoIP number is classed as mobile in carrier databases, which most sign-up forms accept, but each service sets its own rules and can still refuse a number. If that happens, cancel the order and the price goes back to your balance.
Do I need to verify my identity?
No. RealSIM Numbers asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents: an email and a password open an account. The acceptable use policy still applies to every order.
