    I used their 1GB promo recently on an OS trip. It was so easy to set up and made WhatsApp messaging with my driver stress-free upon arrival.

      You don’t get a number, it’s a data plan.

          Sure, but data only.

        • bobwokeup on 28/11/2023 - 22:26

          Good question, I’ve got an Apple Watch but I activated it on my phone. My watch is connected to my phone so it worked. However I don’t have a sim on my watch so not sure if that’s what you mean by getting a number?

          • CDG on 28/11/2023 - 22:33

            @bobwokeup: if its data plan, it should have a number in order to have data?
            I dont need a number but as long as i can track my sons apple watch ( data)

            • bobwokeup on 28/11/2023 - 22:44

              @CDG: Nope you don’t have a number. You activate the eSIM on the iPhone and then the Apple Watch connects to your iPhone. So if he is out and about without the connected iPhone it won’t have any data so you can’t track it.

              • CDG on 28/11/2023 - 22:52

                @bobwokeup: so i cant setup the esim on the apple watch? (my watch is cellular)

                  @CDG: I believe not but support is really good and quick, you can ask them. I’ve never setup a data plan on the watch only so not sure.

    I used this when the sim I bought in the france wasn't working, came in clutch with 1gb to talk to the other sims support

  • Chewee on 29/11/2023 - 02:23

    Just wondering, would they also have these fair use policy where your data speed will be reduced if you use much data like streaming?
    Been checking out a few esims for Japan and pretty much most of them mention about this in their disclaimer.

    • Robc on 29/11/2023 - 03:39
      +2

      These companies won't reduce your data speed, seeing as they only sell you data allowances. There's no unlimited plans here, you just use and pay for a set GB worth. And seeing as 10Gb worth of Aussie data is gonna set you back at least US$21, and 10Gb worth of Japanese data will be at least US$29, you'll find that heavy streaming comes at a heavy cost compared to local sim options.

      "Additional Information
      ………..
      No daily data limit or throttling.
      Supports personal hotspot"

      there's also a concurrent deal for "roamless" on here, offering pretty much the same thing, similar cost per Gb, but with a lifetime credit validity. Might as well grab both, esims can be left on your device and turned on when needed.

  • frozenchicken on 29/11/2023 - 03:35

    Never used esim. Is it stuck to one phone after installation? What if i change phones?

    • Crimzic on 29/11/2023 - 10:38
      +1

      You have to deactivate it on your old phone and request a new esim QR code from the carrier. With Eskimo, you'll need to purchase a new plan from them to get that new QR code.

      • frozenchicken on 29/11/2023 - 10:48

        Thank you for the reply.

        I have a dual sim (Optus and Telstra) doogee and i'm assuming that i can only have two lines active at any one time. So does that mean that I can take Telstra sim card out when I travel, install/activate Eskimo, come home, pop Telstra sim back in and my phone will go back to Optus and Telstra? And the next time I travel I just pop Telstra sim out and Eskimo will be available again?

        Any experience?

        • Crimzic on 29/11/2023 - 11:33
          +1

          Please make sure that your phone supports esim - there's a limited number of devices that do have this feature.
          With my Samsung, I can have one physical and one esim active at one time. The phone can store multiple esim and I can deactivate and activate them at will.
          Hence, in your case you will likely need to deactivate one of your physical sims and activate the esim from phone settings (i.e. possibly you won't need to remove the Telstra sim, but that depends on the device). Then, do it in a reverse order when you come back.

        • Robc on 29/11/2023 - 11:38
          +1

          On my phone, I've got 2 physical slots with sim cards, and three esims (although I could have more) . I can choose any combination of maximum 2 to use at anyone time.

          There's no need to remove any Sims, although it's not a terrible idea to leave one home in case your phone gets stolen or whatever.

          You might want to ask your telstra and optus services for Esims instead. That way, you'll have free slots for cheap overseas local sims if required.

    I go to Eskimo, Data, Redeem, and there's a space to enter a code but my keyboard does not come up and no cursor. Just me?

    I still have 1.5Gb from the last promo but when I was in Singapore in September couldn't get the eSim to work (was activated and chosen for data but got no connection even after waiting 10 minutes).

    • bestbarginever on 29/11/2023 - 08:50

      I am planning to use this esim in Singapore as well. How does it work? Is this an AUS eSim with roaming or a local eSim ? The website does not have Singapore in the country list

      • Ramrunner on 29/11/2023 - 08:54

        I think I might have answered my own question by doing some reading above. Singapore is not included on the countries list :(. Singapore IP but doesn't actually work in Singapore.

        Pretty sad for a GLOBAL sim not to include Singapore but at least I guess I didn't spend money on it :)

        • bestbarginever on 29/11/2023 - 09:28

          It has Asia Pacific regional Sim . Maybe this will work in Singapore?

      • Robc on 29/11/2023 - 11:46
        +1

        Phone services based in Singapore don't offer their roaming services in Singapore….

        There's a member on here who helped me out with another service called yesim. He's got access to a promo code that gives 10€ free credit on sign up, which is generally worth a GB or so in most countries. The only (small) catch is that you need to spend 50c for the first activation. YESIMs country list is large and includes singapore.

        I can pm you his name if you are interested, or I'll tag this post and let him reply directly.

          Much appreciate you taking the time to respond though.

  • Chewee on 29/11/2023 - 09:38

    thanks OP,
    I got to the screen that says check device compatibility and install esim.
    Does the 2 year validity start when I install the esim?
    Or would it be better to install it a few days before leaving the country?
    I'm travelling Feb 2024 so thinking if it would be too early to install it if I don't need it yet.
    Sorry, first time to use esim.

    • ldd-mn on 29/11/2023 - 10:56

      Pretty sure it starts from when you redeemed the code, not from when you add the eSIM to your device.

    • Airi on 18/12/2023 - 19:00

      I just registered mine and it said I have to activate it before 31/12/2023.
      The 2 years start when I activate it.
      I recommend checking your activation deadline, just in case.

  • Joytank on 29/11/2023 - 10:24

    Hi everyone, just want to double check… it won’t work on international cruise, right?

    • Robc on 29/11/2023 - 11:53
      +1

      It'll work absolutely fine if your international cruise is within line of sight of a shore based cell tower.

      Generally speaking that'll be pretty close to land…

      If you want satellite data, you'll find it cheaper to buy cruise ship WiFi. Musk has promised us satellite links pretty much everywhere, but that's not really applicable currently.
