    Before I download app- does anyone know what happens if you go over 1.5gb???

    Is it shaped

      I believe your speed will be shaped to 0bit/s.

    Thanks a lot OP, used this on my trip last week to Jakarta, very good !!!

  • wizko on 09/06/2023 - 22:52

    …Is there anything stopping someone from making a new account and getting another 1.5GB?

    • Quarter Pounder on 09/06/2023 - 23:44

      Yes

      • Brick50 on 10/06/2023 - 21:07
        +2

        You need to use a unique phone to make the account/eSIM. It knows if your phone has been used before

        But once you get the QR code I was able to activate 2 on the same iPhone and use them both with no issues

        • FabriceLeb on 15/08/2023 - 21:22

          did you delete the app and reinstall to redeem the 2nd esim ? cheers

        • cucumber on 27/11/2023 - 19:02

          That's true! I wonder how does the app know? I tried clearing storage, uninstall and reinstall, no luck.

          • Brick50 on 27/11/2023 - 19:03

            @cucumber: Wouldn't it be your IMEI number?

            • cucumber on 27/11/2023 - 19:07

              @Brick50: Oh man… Did I agree for them to collect my IMEI number? Dang

              • Brick50 on 27/11/2023 - 19:07

                @cucumber: How would they issue an eSIM without your imei number?

                Whenever I have purchased an eSIM for travel I have always had to provide the imei up front

                • cucumber on 27/11/2023 - 19:31

                  @Brick50: That's a good point. I was just never explicitly prompted for IMEI so I didn't know that's how it works. Learn something new everyday.

  • deals4amar on 15/06/2023 - 22:40

    Can someone pls explain how to bypass the OTP verification at the start, where it asks for whatsapp number? I read a few comments saying they provided fake details, but how do you get around the verification step, without having to provide your actual details?

    • illumination on 15/06/2023 - 23:16
      +2

      Providing "fake details" refers to your name/DOB. You can't get around the OTP verification.

  • foo on 24/06/2023 - 06:21

    Great thank you so much!

  • on on 24/06/2023 - 17:23

    is it just me or everyone else shows no service signal today?

  • Quarter Pounder on 15/08/2023 - 19:12

    Can anyone else confirm that the new code works? And that it is 1.5gb instead of 1gb?

    • audz on 15/08/2023 - 20:53

      I signed up using the referral link and got only 500mb. So, don't use that.

      • Quarter Pounder on 15/08/2023 - 20:55

        Can you still add the ESKIMO4U code after sign up?

        • FabriceLeb on 15/08/2023 - 21:27

          just tried and it didnt work AFTER sign up. Cant stake refferal + bonus. Had to talk to chat to get it applied. Only got 1GB not 1.5

  • delfredo on 15/08/2023 - 22:24

    Thanks

  • jayzee on 16/08/2023 - 01:36

    Thanks, I will use it when travel next month.

  • MaxiPower on 16/08/2023 - 09:57

    Doh, used a referral code first, and got my 500mb, but then wont allow me to use ESKIMO4U

    • bobwokeup on 16/08/2023 - 10:00

      Contact support chat they are quick to reply.

  • md333 on 16/08/2023 - 16:11

    I just tried to use the ESKIMO4U and it says you can only use the code during sign up.
    Not sure if I did things in the wrong order or they have changed it.

    New promo code - DBTF-1

    • md333 on 18/08/2023 - 12:27

      That gives the same error, can only be redeemed during sign up.

  • tgame on 23/09/2023 - 17:48

    Last month I was traveling in China for 5 weeks and in 6 cities. I couldn't get connected at all

    • Quarter Pounder on 23/09/2023 - 17:49

      Did you turn data roaming on? I am going to new zealand soon so will be able to test if it works there.

      • tgame on 23/09/2023 - 17:51

        yes, I have roaming switched on. my 3HK esim works just fine.

          In new Zealand right now, the esim works fine here. Tested on 3 eskimo esims

  • nerdinary on 25/09/2023 - 23:22

    So I used this in Malaysia, and it works fine. However, it doesn't work in Singapore which is odd, since the SIM seems to be issued by Singtel.

    • h00tz on 15/11/2023 - 13:37

      Just returned from a week in Bali where it worked perfectly. Great for getting around using Grab.

  • P Plater Panda on 08/10/2023 - 20:06

    Can anyone confirm they've got the eSim to work on Google Pixel phone bought in Oz? Thanks

    • Quarter Pounder on 08/10/2023 - 20:33

      Had it working on my pixel 6 which was bought in OZ. Did you turn data roaming on? what's the error?

      • P Plater Panda on 08/10/2023 - 20:40

        When trying to install eSim (on pixel 4a), when clicked on "direct" installation the error message is "installation cancelled" (immediately). When tried via QR code, scanning network takes forever. eSim still not installed and not sure how to proceed. Currently still in Oz.

        • Quarter Pounder on 08/10/2023 - 20:46

          Can you try the manual esim installation? copy the code given in the app.

    Would it be working on Optus prepaid starter pack? Cheers

    • timhn on 21/10/2023 - 07:40

      What this offer from Eskimo got to do with any other telco offer?

        Huh?? You must don't understand what I was trying to ask.
        It needs Optus network to use it. I was asking can I use Optus prepaid starter pack in order to make it work?

        • Quarter Pounder on 21/10/2023 - 14:23

          It works on the Optus network In Australia? if that was your question.

            @Quarter Pounder: I got that. I didn't say it has anything to do with the other telco's offer…

  • tesla on 15/11/2023 - 10:51

    Just want to share what I experienced.
    Eskimo maintain a list of devices (through DeviceIDs or IMEI) that had installed Eskimo before.
    This is for good, they said it is "for security and protection against potential identity theft."
    This is OK if you have the device through its lifetime.
    If you give the phone to somebody else or sell it, the new owner will not be able to use/register Eskimo with this device.
    Sounds like a sticky poo poo to me…
    I do not know if you can ask them to de-register

    • Quarter Pounder on 15/11/2023 - 21:30

      I just managed to make a second eskimo account on the same device, still gave me the free data again.

      • tesla on 17/11/2023 - 10:03

        Can you share how to do it?
        I reached to their support and they said cannot be done

      • md333 on 21/11/2023 - 15:27

        Did you use different email, phone number?
        I tried on a new device and had to change those. Interestingly this time it prefilled the eskimo4u code for me.
        Needed second account because when I signed up for the first one the instructions were to use the code after signing up, but it actually needed to be done during sign up. Could probably have got it added via support to the original acct, but seems easier to get a new one.

  • code19 on 26/11/2023 - 23:54

    Sorry tech noob here. Geberal eSim question,

    could these esim companies pose security problem? Can they see our data?

    Is this particular company trustworthy?

    • Quarter Pounder on 26/11/2023 - 23:55

      Happy to be corrected here, This particular esim company uses Sims though Singtel (optus parent company). The esim is not being routed through an eskimo ip.

    Works absolutely fine with the DBTF-1 code.

    Make sure you use it during setup. Doesn't work as a voucher/gift code after.

    Edit, there's a current "roamless" deal on here for a different provider with free 1gb. There's no expiry on that service, nice bonus for infrequent use.

    • mitcheo on 27/11/2023 - 09:18

    Would something like this work for an Apple Watch where iPhones are on non e-sim supported providers?

    Might be useful

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 04/12/2023 - 07:51

      Would something like this work for an Apple Watch

      Aren't these data only sims? What use Apple watch would have?
