Before you buy your Australia eSIM
Is my phone compatible?
Quick check: dial *#06# on your phone. If an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. It also needs to be carrier-unlocked.
How much data do I need?
A rough estimate based on typical use. Video and hotspot use the most data.
Use instant mobile data to travel across Australia, from the Red Centre to Sydney Harbour.
With Esimy’s Australia eSIM, you can get reliable, fast 4G/5G data as soon as you land in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or anywhere else in Australia, even the Great Barrier Reef. Choose flexible Australia eSIM plans for long stays, working from home, or short trips on the weekend.
Our travel eSIM connects to the best local networks, such as Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone Australia, so it works in a lot of cities, on highways, and on popular tourist routes. Choose the best data plan for using social media, streaming, getting rides, or finding your way.
Skip the lines at the kiosk and the ID checks. Buy, turn on data roaming, scan the QR code, and go. If you need help, our support staff is available 24/7.

eSIM FAQs
Common questions about using eSIM in Australia
If I need assistance, how can I get it?
Our support staff is accessible by email and live chat around the clock.
In Australia, why is dual SIM useful with eSIM?
Stay reachable on your home number and avoid roaming fees. Keep your physical SIM active for calls and SMS, and use the eSIM for local data.
Does it function in every state and territory in Australia?
Along with many well-known regional routes, it covers NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, and NT.
Which gadgets are compatible?
The latest models of the Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and iPhone all support eSIM. Before making a purchase, visit our supported devices page.
Instead of purchasing a local SIM, why not purchase an Australia eSIM?
- Instant activation at the airport or while traveling;
- No ID or store visit is necessary.
- Competitive data pricing with no contracts;
- Maintain your physical SIM for your number (dual-SIM);
How can my Australia eSIM be activated?

Do you use throttle speeds?
On our end, we don’t cap speeds at all for fixed packages. Signal strength, device capability, and local network conditions all affect actual speeds.
How much time does it take to activate?
Immediately. As soon as you make a purchase, you receive your QR code. Install the eSIM, scan it, and activate Data Roaming.
Can I tether or use my eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. All Esimy plans support hotspot/tethering at no extra charge. Share data with laptops, tablets, smartwatches, and other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB. Usage counts against your single plan allowance — if you tether heavily, top up easily from your Esimy Wallet.
Are calls and SMS included in the eSIM?
We only offer data-only eSIM plans for Australia. For messaging and voice calls, use apps like Teams, FaceTime, Telegram, or WhatsApp.
