What data speeds should I expect?

The speed of your data depends on many factors such as your location, your device capabilities, network congestion and network coverage.

On C Red plans please refer to the coverage maps for more information Click Here to view the coverage maps for C Red plans.

The network capability of C Mobile’s C Blue 4G mobile solution has access to download speeds of up to 100Mbps on 4G across 97% of the population. 4G devices will enjoy typical download speeds of 2-50Mbps and upload speeds of 1 to 10 Mbpsin 4G coverage areas. On 3G, typical download speeds are 1.1-20Mbps across more than 85% of the population, 550kbps to 8Mbps across more than 95% of the population, and 550kbps to 3Mbps in remaining coverage areas reaching more than 98.8% of the population. Typical wireless packet data upload speeds on the 3G network are 300kbps to 3Mbps across more than 93% of the population and in remaining coverage areas 300kbps to 1Mbps.

C Blue 5G speed is capped at 250Mbps. This speed cap on a 5G plan applies whether you are connected to 5G or 4G. The capped network capability is not an indication of the actual speed that will be experienced.

How can I reduce my data consumption?

If you have a smartphone and you download data heavy apps, it’s easy to use all your monthly data allowance. Here are some tips on how you can reduce the amount of mobile data you use:

  • If you have a smartphone with wifi, switch it on. Using wifi when available will greatly reduce the amount of mobile data you use. Try to download apps and large files over wifi where you can.
  • Minimise the use of video streaming and apps such as Spotify, Netflix or Youtube.
  • If you turn off apps that automatically push notifications such as facebook and GPS services and use them manually, you will save a lot of data.

You can download some nice free apps for monitoring your data use such as My Data Manager for Android or DataMan for iPhone. These apps are not 100% accurate but give you a good idea on how much data you are consuming. Of course, you can always log into your My CMOBILE account and check your data use which is updated daily.

What is Databank?

Databank is available on C Blue (Telstra network) plans

Databank is a feature that allows you to save any unused data from each billing cycle up to a total of 500GB. For example, if your plan includes 30GB of data but during your billing period you only use 20GB, then 10GB will be saved in your databank. In a future billing period, if you exceed your plans included 30GB, you will then consume data from your databank that you have previously saved. Cmobile offers the databank feature on all C Blue handset plans.

To check your databank balance, SMS the word “bal” to number ‘179’ on your mobile. You will then be sent the balance of your current included data and your databank.

If you downgrade your plan, you will lose any data saved in your databank and you will need to start again. However if you remain on the same plan or upgrade to a higher plan, your data will continue to be saved and accumulate.

How do I check my databank balance?

Databank is only available on C Blue (Telstra network) plans.

To check your databank balance SMS the word “bal” to number ‘179′ from your mobile. You will then be sent the balance of your current included data and your databank balance.

What is the Pre-port verification process?

Pre-port verification is an additional identification process used to verify your ownership of your existing mobile phone number being transferred to Cmobile during the SIM activation process. It is to protect you from unauthorised transfers of mobile numbers as a requirement of the “Telecommunications (Mobile Number Pre-porting Additional Identity Verification) Industry Standard 2020” published by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.

When you submit your SIM activation to Cmobile and request your existing number to be transferred, you will receive a 6 digit code sent to your mobile phone via SMS. You need to enter this code in the Pre-port verification window as soon as you receive it to ensure you are the owner of the mobile phone number. If you have any issues, please contact us on 1300 545 000 or email support@cmobile.com.au.

If you believe your phone number has been ported fraudulently to another operator you should report this to:
(a) the Australian Federal Police or the relevant State or Territory Police, and
(b) government services, such as Scamwatch and IDCARE that support customers whose mobile service number is the subject of an unauthorised port.

I’ve signed up online. How long until I get my SIM?

After completing the sign up process, we will process your application and if approved, your new SIM will be dispatched to you the next business day by priority mail as standard or by express post if you have selected this option.

What kind of SIM card do I need?

Cmobile will send you a multi-fit SIM card that will fit in all mobile devices. When you receive your SIM card, carefully push out the SIM from the credit card size plastic body. Once you have the SIM pushed out, you can then push out the smaller sizes to fit your phone. Be careful not to push too hard and damage the plastic. If you push out the wrong size, you can carefully click them back together to produce the correct size SIM to fit your device.

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes it is easy to bring your existing mobile number to Cmobile. Simply complete the Porting Information during the sign up process and we complete the transfer to you.

Please note, we will not start transferring your number until you have received your new Cmobile SIM, and you have requested us to activate it. It is important to tell us your correct account number with your current provider so the transfer will complete smoothly.

How long does it take for my number to be transferred in and how will I know?

Most transfers are completed within the hour. Simply continue to use your old SIM until the service stops working, and then plug in your new CMOBILE SIM. It will be active with your existing number attached to it.

My phone is locked to another carrier. How do I unlock it?

Quite often, if you purchase a mobile phone on a prepaid plan, it will be locked to that carrier.
If your mobile phone is locked to another provider, you need to contact the provider to unlock your phone. The contact numbers for the main carriers are below.

Vodafone: call 1300 650 410 or visit www.vodafone.com.au/unlock
Telstra: call 13 22 00
Optus: Call 133 937 or visit https://www.optus.com.au/prepaid/unlock-your-phone

You don’t need to contact your current provider if you are porting your mobile number to Cmobile, only if your mobile phone is locked.

What is a porting PIN?

Traditionally, mobile carriers require either your date of birth (for prepaid plans) or your account number in order to port your number. This means if a hacker has accessed your mobile number and/or date of birth or account number (e.g. from your bill), they can port your phone number away. Cmobile has introduced a 6-digit porting PIN so that your number can only be ported by providing this PIN. Cmobile will store your PIN on your account and it will not be visible to anyone other than Cmobile staff. This means if a hacker gains access to your mobile number and date of birth or account number, they will not be able to port your number away without your PIN.

When is number porting available?

The Standard Hours of Operation for mobile number porting in the Australian Telco industry are Monday-Friday from 08:00 to 20:00 AEST, and Saturdays from 10:00 to 18:00 AEST. Porting is NOT available on the following days:

Sundays
New Year’s Day
Australia Day
Good Friday
Easter Sunday
ANZAC Day
Christmas Day

For all other Public Holidays, Porting may be reduced to Saturday hours.

What mobile device do I need to join Cmobile?

You do not need to purchase a mobile device from Cmobile to use our mobile plans. With all Cmobile plans, you can bring your own device as long as it is compatible with the Vodafone (C Red plans) or Telstra (C Blue plans) mobile networks. If you do not have a mobile device, you can choose to purchase a device outright from Cmobile here, or you can purchase a device from another retailer.

For Cmobile C Red plans using the Vodafone network, your device needs to support 4G 850MHz, 1800MHz or 2100MHz.

For Cmobile C Blue plans using the Telstra network, your device needs to support 4G 700MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz or 2600MHz. For 5G, your device needs to support 850MHz or 3500MHz.

How do I change my Cmobile plan?

All Cmobile plans are monthly plans. You are free to change to a higher
or lower plan at the end of each calender month. Simply give us a call
on 1300 545 000 or email support@cmobile.com.au at any time, and we can
schedule the change to go through at the end of the current month.

NB. If you wish to change from a C Red plan to a C Blue plan or vice
versa, we will need to send you a new SIM, as they operate on different
networks. This will incur a replacement SIM charge of $4.90, which will
be added to your next bill.

I cannot send or receive SMS

If you receive an error trying to send or receive SMS or MMS, try the below:

1. Restart your phone: Turn your phone off and on again to refresh your network connection.
2. Check coverage: Make sure you’re in a coverage area by checking the maps for C Red plans or C Blue plans.
3. Try making a voice call to confirm whether it’s an issue with your whole service or just messaging.
4. Free up space: If your inbox and sent messages folders are full, you may be unable to send messages. Delete old messages to free some space.

Message Centre Number
If your phone allows you to make changes to your message centre number, make sure that it’s set to the correct number.
For C Red plans use ‘+61415011501’
For C Blue plans use ‘+61418706275’

On most phones, you can go to settings and find the option for ‘Message Centre Number’.

If you have an iPhone, you can check it by dialing *#5005*7672#.
If you then need to correct it, you can dial:
**5005*7672*+61415011501# for C Red plans, or
**5005*7672*+61418706275# for C Blue plans

iMessage on iPhones
If you’re using an iPhone, check if the message you’re trying to send is enclosed in a blue bubble.
If so, this indicates that it’s trying to send the message over the internet rather than as an SMS, so you will require working mobile data or access to a Wi-Fi network.
To turn off iMessage entirely, simply go to Settings > Messages, and turn ‘iMessage’ off.

Can I use WiFi calling with Cmobile?

Can I use WiFi calling with Cmobile?

You can use Wi-Fi calling with Cmobile. Wi-Fi calling lets you make and receive calls over a WiFi network when the mobile network is not avaliable. This is very helpful if you experience coverage issues indoors, you’re travelling overseas, or if there’s a mobile network outage. There is no additional cost for using Wi-FI calling with Cmobile.

To use Wi-Fi calling, your handset must be 4G capable with VoLTE enabled. You will see an icon at the top of your mobile screen which looks like a phone with a Wi-Fi symbol next to it. When this is present your phone will use Wi-Fi  calling to make or receive a call.

Wi-Fi calling is available on both C Red (Vodafone) and C Blue (Telstra plans).

Telstra 3G mobile exit

Telstra 3G mobile exit has been extended to 28 October 2024.

Telstra is upgrading the mobile network to deliver a better experience for all users. As part of these improvements, the current 3G network will be retired and all users will move to the more modern 4G and 5G network. This will impact Cmobile customers who have a C Blue – Telstra network plan.

The current Telstra 3G mobile network (850Mhz band) will be retired on 28 October 2024. There will be no interruption to 3G services or network coverage prior to this date. After 28 October 2024, the mobile network will only support 4G and 5G devices. Note, your 4G device will need to support 4G band 28 (700MHz) and Voice over LTE (VoLTE) to support voice calls including emergency calling. Most modern smartphones support VoLTE and WiFi calling which uses digital packet technology to route voice traffic and transmit data.

If you have a device that only supports 3G or it is a non-VoLTE capable 4G mobile device, it will cease to operate on the Telstra 3g network after 28 October 2024. You will need to upgrade to a new device that supports 4G VoLTE and 5G networks to maintain your service.

If you are unsure if your device supports 4G or 5G, please contact us at support@cmobile.com.au or call us on 1300 545 000 and we will be happy to help you.

How to call the USA from Australia?

How to call the USA from Australia?

To call a USA phone number from Australia, you need to do the following:

When calling the USA from your mobile, you first need to add the country code of +1, followed by the US area code and then the local number.
To enter “+”, hold down the “0” on your phone keypad for a second until the “+” symbol appears, then press 1. Remove the leading “0” from the area code/mobile number if there is one.

For example, to dial the USA number (714) 781 4000 from your Australian mobile you need to dial +1 714 781 4000.
If calling from a landline, replace the +1 with 0011 1, so it would be 0011 1 714 781 4000.

On all Cmobile C Blue plans from $25 per month and above, unlimited calls to the USA is included at no extra charge.
You can see all our C Blue mobile plans here

If you are travelling to the USA, you can activate a roaming day pack on your Cmobile plan from just $10 per day which includes unlimited calls and TXT. See how the international roaming travel day pack works here

Call a USA number from your mobile:
1. Enter the “+” symbol on your keypad by holding down the “0” key until it appears*
2. Enter the US country code (1)
3. Enter the US area code (remember to remove the leading 0 if there is one)
4. Enter the US local number

*Your mobile phone converts the “+” into the correct international code not matter what country you are calling from.
In Australia, this is 0011 so “+” replaces 0011. You can do this anywhere in the world if you are roaming in another country.

How to call the UK from Australia?

NBN (1)

Cmobile NBN Fibre To The Node (FTTN) explained

All types of nbn™ broadband access network connections that utilise a physical line running to the premises are considered Fixed Line connections. An nbn™ Fibre to the Node (FTTN) connection is utilised where the existing copper phone and internet network from a nearby fibre node is used to make the final part of the connection to the nbn™ access network.

The fibre node is likely to take the form of a street cabinet. Each street cabinet will allow the nbn access network signal to travel over a fibre optic line from the exchange, to the cabinet, and connect with the existing copper network to reach your premises.

Setting up your equipment

To prepare for your new nbn™ powered plan, simply set up your VDSL2 compatible modem using the instructions given by Cmobile. If you already have a modem, it must be VDSL2 compatible for it to work over the nbn™ access network. If you don’t have a modem, Cmobile can sell you one outright.
