Rental modems are only available for Wireless Home Internet.

Modems provided for rental may be either new or refurbished.

What if I don’t return the modem or it’s returned damaged?
If the modem is not returned or is returned damaged, your account will be charged for the full cost of the modem. See hardware rental terms here.
What happens if the modem stops working?
Should your rental modem malfunction, we will provide a replacement after conducting necessary troubleshooting. If SpinTel determines that a replacement is required, you will receive a new modem, and the faulty one must be returned—along with the cables, power supply, and box—within 21 days to avoid charges.
To arrange for a replacement, you may contact us at 1300 303 375 or click on the chat icon to initiate a conversation.
I’ve returned my modem, but it says it’s awaiting collection at the post office. What should I do?
If the tracking status of your returned modem shows "awaiting collection" at the post office, there’s no need to worry. We pick up returned modems from the post office daily, so there’s no need to notify us.
Generally, we will collect the modem the same day it arrives at the post office or by the next business day. If the tracking status shows "awaiting collection" for more than two days, please reach out to our support team for assistance.
