    This is pretty sweet! Nice find, might be enough to get you over the line if you run out of credit overseas. Interesting there is cash back for klook, trip.com and agoda through the Eskimo app too (5%).

  • coxymla on 28/05/2023 - 22:14

    How do you actually "buy" the eSIM with a referral code?

    • Quarter Pounder on 28/05/2023 - 22:15

      When signing up, There is an option to put a referal code in. Just copy whatever appears after Eskimo.travel/xxx when using the referal code.

      • coxymla on 28/05/2023 - 22:19

        Thanks. Once signed up, then you also have to go to Data tab -> Redeem and enter GOODTOFLY

  • Turd on 28/05/2023 - 22:25

    Do you have to install the sim now? Or can do I whenever?

    • Quarter Pounder on 28/05/2023 - 22:26

      No need to install the esim instantly

      • Turd on 28/05/2023 - 22:27

        So 2 year valid from today?

    • Quarter Pounder on 28/05/2023 - 22:28

      Hold you over til your next recharge if you've run out of data? 1.5gb could last me 2 weeks.

      It'll also be useful if you're doing any international travel in the next two years. You can get by well enough with wifi, but it's very helpful to have a little mobile data here and there for things like getting an uber when you might not have wifi access at the kerb etc.

      • boomlogical on 29/05/2023 - 03:40

        Also good to get directions for somewhere to pop by and buy a sim card from too, got really stuffed over in Turkey one time with no data

      • Papa Huggies on 29/05/2023 - 09:59

        I think the most useful application is likely having internet at any long-ish layovers you might have.

        If you're staying anywhere over say 2 days I'd probs get a country-specific SIM.

    • No ONE on 27/11/2023 - 12:10

      1.5GB would last me a month.

  • manja on 28/05/2023 - 22:35

    Is it just data sim or comes with a number that can be used for banking SMS while overseas?

    • Quarter Pounder on 28/05/2023 - 22:35
      +2

      Just data.

    • wjb on 28/05/2023 - 23:10

      It’s free to receive SMS in overseas with your AU SIM card. Just make sure you disable roaming and mobile data for that Au SIM card. You may use this esim for data simultaneously

      • romaau on 29/05/2023 - 09:17

        Some plans don’t allow roaming at all. I am looking at you Gomo.

        • st1ng on 29/05/2023 - 20:44

          I roamed with Gomo in December 2021, and was able to receive SMS codes on my phone in NZ. Things might have changed since then.

      • SlickMick on 29/05/2023 - 11:21

        I got caught out assuming this.

        I think the catch is, you need to buy a roaming add-on, then you get free SMS.
        I didn't get any of my messages whilst overseas with Catch despite them being free.

        • illumination on 29/05/2023 - 11:25
          +2

          You don't need to buy a roaming add-on. You need to be with a telco that supports roaming. There is no need to purchase any add-on provided your telco supports roaming.

          • SlickMick on 29/05/2023 - 12:15

            @illumination: I'm still confused. Catch Connect (Optus) says free SMS, but I didn't get any.
            I assumed that if I'd bought the $25 roaming prepaid pack, then I'd have gotten my texts??

              @SlickMick: Just leave your sim in a phone here and use SMS forwarder. It's amazing. You just get emailed all your smses

              • SlickMick on 31/05/2023 - 08:38

                @EtherealArchelon: thanks. That's not available for iPhone, but iPhone has a built in forwarder (to another apple device owned by me)… time to buy an ipad I guess

  • Windows98 on 28/05/2023 - 22:58
    +8

    It looks like the owner of the referal code only gets free data if the new person actually purchases a plan. Not just signs up. So unless we think us tight arses on OB are going to one day pay for this service, it's pretty much pointless other than the initial 500mb the new person gets.

    Just a heads up, on the developer's website (not specifically about Eskimo) is the following:

    User Analytics
    Collect rich content to inform marketing, engage users and profit from your services.

    Monetize Wifi
    Content Injection is a contextual communications channel that complements a customer’s WiFi experience. It enables businesses to overlay their own content, ads and marketing messages into their customers internet browsing sessions in real-time to monetize WiFi networks, prompt customer reviews and feedback and grow their social media following.

    For travel eSIM purchases 3 Hong Kong remains the best value for 30 day passes for Hong Kong/ United Kingdom/ USA/ Canada/ Australia/ New Zealand.

    • Chazzozz on 29/05/2023 - 06:46

      Thanks for the heads-up on 3HK, I’m planning to head back to The Great White North later in the year and this would fit the bill very nicely.

      • Techie4066 on 29/05/2023 - 12:40

    • Horacio on 29/05/2023 - 18:23

      I'm currently using it in Japan and it's pretty shit. It can't roam into the docomo network. Only the SoftBank network which has no signal in alot of places.

  • bcYield on 28/05/2023 - 23:38

    Does it work on a flight or a cruise?

    • Quarter Pounder on 28/05/2023 - 23:39

      Most likely not. Even though singtel has roaming agreements with providers in flight and on cruises, i think this is restricted to land based networks.

      Get an Airtel SIM asap ;)
      2gb/day for about 350-400 INR for the SIM (30 day) then 299 /month to renew

        I did, but the pricks cancelled my last sim the day my visa expired, so I had no connection on landing. Fortunately my airport pickup driver was waiting with a sign, but the Eskimo sim was great peace of mind.

        Worked perfectly in India and Malaysia on transit. Only used 100mb before getting a local sim (Airtel as suggested) but it's still great to have a back up which just sits in the background disabled for the next 2 years until I need it next.

    How can we add our referral code to the system?

      Register an account on choice cheapies. The referer gets nothing unless someone buys a data package.

      You can download the app, sign up, and then choose to install the eSim later to your new phone when you get it

      • whatisk on 30/05/2023 - 16:40

      didn't have to provide a credit card to get the data

  • mskeggs on 29/05/2023 - 09:15

    I think their plans look ok too.
    While I always get a local sim, having a global sim for stop over/transfers is great, as it looks like they have long validity.

          Ty (mod: removed code) got ya 500mb.

  • syswong on 29/05/2023 - 10:13

    Never in this boat but I assume this will be good for those who is on MVNO that doesn't have roaming overseas or those on cheap monthly / annual plans who want to use limited data overseas?

    Bear in mind 1.5gb is absolute peanuts in 2023, your date syn and google map will kill this in no time.
