FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

How long does it take to get connected?
If your address already has an active nbn® connection we can often activate within a few business days. New connections that need a technician visit typically take 1–2 weeks, depending on nbn® availability. We'll confirm your date by email after you order.
Do I need my own modem?
You can bring your own compatible modem, or add a pre-configured FlixLink modem during checkout so it arrives ready to plug in.
Is there a lock-in contract?
Our nbn® and mobile plans are month to month, with no lock-in contract and no exit fees, so you can change or cancel any time. If you're paying off a modem, the remaining repayments are due when you leave. Our Home Wireless and 5G Home plans (coming soon) will include 24-month options; their Critical Information Summaries will show the minimum term and any early termination charge before you can order. See our Critical Information Summaries.
How do I make a complaint?
Call us on (02) 9071 2900 or email info@flixlink.com.au. It's free. We'll acknowledge your complaint and give you our proposed resolution within 10 working days (2 if urgent). Read our Complaint Handling Policy for the full process, including your right to go to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman.
I'm finding it hard to pay my bill. Can you help?
Yes. Please contact us as early as you can. Our Financial Hardship Policy explains the help available, such as payment plans or more time to pay. Applying is free.
How do I report a fault or outage?
Call us on (02) 9071 2900 or email info@flixlink.com.au. If it's a wider network issue we'll let you know the status and expected resolution.
Can I keep my phone number?
Yes. For both nbn® Voice and FlixLink Mobile you can port your existing number across when you join.
How do I check my speed?
Restart your modem, connect a device by cable if you can, and run a test at speedtest.net. If results are well below your plan, give us a call and we'll investigate.
Stay safe

Scams and your security.

Scammers sometimes pretend to be phone and internet providers. Here's how to tell it's really us.

How we contact you

  • Email

    We only email from addresses ending in @flixlink.com.au. Payment receipts may also come from Stripe, our payment provider.

  • Paying us

    We take card payments through the checkout on flixlink.com.au, or a payment link we email you. Our payment pages are on stripe.com and show FlixLink's name.

  • Your number and account

    Before we swap a SIM or eSIM, move your number or change your account, we check it's really you, usually with a one-time code sent to your phone.

We will never

  • Ask for your card number, passwords or banking login by phone, email or text.

  • Ask you to pay with gift cards or crypto, or tell you our bank details have changed.

  • Call out of the blue to say your internet has been hacked, or ask to get into your computer.

  • Ask you to read out a code from a text, unless you contacted us first or asked us to move your number.

Not sure a message is from us? Don't click anything. Call us on (02) 9071 2900 or email info@flixlink.com.au. Got a text about moving your number that you didn't ask for? Call us straight away, as someone may be trying to take it. Lost money? Contact your bank first, then report it at scamwatch.gov.au. Read our full Account Security and Scam Protection Policy.

Network outages

If there's an outage

Our services run on networks operated by nbn® and our wholesale suppliers. This is how we handle an outage that affects your service.

Check current nbn® outages on nbn's outage register. Your nbn® service, and any phone service over it, won't work in a power outage, so keep a charged mobile phone for emergencies.
