    Does this support eSIM?

      No, cheapest Samsung in Australia with eSIM is the A55

        Does that mean amaysim description is incorrect? I just noticed on their Galaxy A35 5G page it says: eSIM 5G new unlocked

          nope nvm A35 (Only Europe, North America, Korea) only as per https://www.samsung.com/nz/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-esi…

        • sirsavesabit on 02/08/2024 - 00:06

          They may say that on the website, but for the Moto G54 which actually has eSIM support, you can order it from Amaysim with an eSIM included. For the A35 it appears to only offer you a physical SIM.

          Based on this I am assuming the description is wrong, and their system knows the A35 they are selling doesn't support eSIM.

        • eutama on 02/08/2024 - 15:12

          Looks like amaysim has corrected it. NO ESIM…. now

    • Captain Cheapskate on 01/08/2024 - 20:05

      yes it does support eSIM. written directly on amaysim website

        • Captain Cheapskate on 01/08/2024 - 20:41

          reviews all across YT confirm it does support eSIM.
          If for some reason australian delivered A35's dont support eSIM, then that means this would be an Asian market device.
          From what I can see, the samsung website does not explicitly mention anything about NOT supporting esim.
          Amaysim website states it does have eSIM support.

          So you are entitled to a full refund if the device doesnt have eSIM support

          • AH on 01/08/2024 - 20:45

            @Captain Cheapskate:

            samsung website does not explicitly mention anything about NOT supporting esim

            You’d think a company would try to advertise all features on their sales page especially when it cost extra to add an eSIM module. Also what part of A35 Only Europe, North America, Korea screams Australia.

            • Captain Cheapskate on 01/08/2024 - 20:48

              @AH: typo's happen.
              amaysim could be sourcing this device from korea

              • AH on 01/08/2024 - 20:50

                @Captain Cheapskate: Ah yes, I accidentally type A35 Only Europe, North America, Korea

                    @Captain Cheapskate: Neither was I. Was talking about how samsung made that typo on https://www.samsung.com/nz/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-esi…, as well as omitting it on their site. Its almost as if it doesnt support it.

                    • Captain Cheapskate on 01/08/2024 - 21:05

                      @AH: Maybe the new guy was on that day/miscommunications? who knows. mistakes happen all the time.
                      At the end of the day, the only marketing material that matters is that of the sellers. if the sellers marketing is misleading in anyway that affects your buying decision, then you are entitled to full refund if it does not live up to the claims made.
                      just take a screenshot of the marketing, then order it, if it dont work as expected, get refund.

                        @Captain Cheapskate: why do people care so much about eSims? isn't it more convenient that if your phone breaks for any reason, you can just pop a sim out and put it in another phone?

                        Only benefit is on phone with single sim slot to make them dual sim, but does this only have one sim slot?

        • kaikor on 01/08/2024 - 20:34

          targeted and only if you have an active number with them and they detected your current phone will not work after 3G shutdown

      • Zapwap on 01/08/2024 - 21:00

          No source. I just used the code (supposedly expired in July) on the G54 bundle for $39 (probably from 15 Aug). I mean that a little patience gets you more eventually.

          If this hack works, I may get another code (due to code being hijacked by another customer).

        Did you have an active Amaysim SIM connected in a 3G only phone and did not take it out / upgrade despite multiple warnings the network will be switched off?

        • tony87 on 01/08/2024 - 19:25

          I did and i just checked my emails and I only got this, but no offer!!

          We believe you’re an amaysim customer that still uses the Optus 3G network with your mobile number xxxx xxx xxx

          The 3G network is being shut down in September 2024. Once this happens, you will not be able to use your phone as you do today. Your ability to stay connected and make calls will be affected unless you upgrade to a device that has a technology called VoLTE, and is compatible with a 4G or 5G* network.

          Please check your device specifications to confirm you will need to upgrade.

          *5G dependent on selected plan, location and device.

          • pennypincher98 on 01/08/2024 - 19:27

            @tony87: Okay that's really bad lmao - unless you had multiple SIMs in the one account and one of them were connected to 4G+?

            • tony87 on 01/08/2024 - 19:32

              @pennypincher98: Does it make any difference if I was on Vaya before and got switched over to Amaysim automatically?

              Also…I tried adding the phone and it says it's not compatible with my postpaid plan….so essentially is this Amaysim's way of just making me get a new phone and a new plan?

              damn hahaha

              • pennypincher98 on 01/08/2024 - 19:38

                @tony87: I mean it wouldn't surprise me tbh, they're mad you chose Vaya over them 🤣

                  @pennypincher98: HAHA well now they're one and the same!!!

                  It's my mum's phone and shes on a cheapo $10 a month for 4gb plan. I guess…this is why they want me gone lol.

                  • pennypincher98 on 01/08/2024 - 19:43

                    @tony87: That definitely sounds like they matched what Vaya offered and not a publicly offered plan - so that would likely explain the ineligibility

        • Fobsessive on 01/08/2024 - 19:25

      • Jackson on 02/08/2024 - 10:29

    If you or someone in your family or friends got a 3G phone and an active amaysim service, just pop the card in the phone. Amaysim might detect you're still using a 3G device and sends out a code to your registered email (not to the phone number). It effectively takes $150-$200 off any phone with a plan.

    Just bought it for $129 all up ($99 for the phone & $30 plan)

      Shouldnt be.

      8.1 app support is only just starting to sunset; and mostly due to the new way Android started doing file system access permissions.

      Unless something huge changes again (that was a huge change btw, just in case you're not the filesystem nerd type like I am), then this should work a very long time.

      Even longer if you dont need "extra" apps and are happy with the defaults.

    • smartProverble on 02/08/2024 - 10:51

      Vast majority of people use old phones without support.

      G84 is vanilla android + 1 'moto' app.

      A35 is Samsungs "One UI".

      I own both, one personal, one work, and would choose the Moto any day. I like the lack of bloatware, and vanilla android experience, never been one for 'custom themes'/launchers.

      Plus, Im a huge fan of moto-actions now. 'Chop chop' (or shake) for flashlight is far too convenient to pass up.

    Save another $20 if you buy a prepaid sim from Coles or Woolies or wherever and activate. I tried the $2 sim but you need to buy credit. Cheapest credit is $10 for 10G with 7 day expiry. Once purchased you can get this deal, so dont buy the $30 plan as mentioned above. Got the other Amaysim deal for the A13 for my wife and I. Only $189 each which i thought was great. Idc about phones, I break them too quickly to want to spend more than $200 every second year.

    • Jasminelily on 01/08/2024 - 22:58

      I wonder how can you checkout without buying a $30 plan?
      My current plan is a $30 plan.
      When I checkout they still charge me $30 + 99 = $129
      How can I remove this $30 charge?

          You will still get charged $30 as an 'Early renewal' on an existing plan, effectively restarting it from the order date so you can't avoid it.

        • Golly1153 on 02/08/2024 - 12:43

          Where did you buy the $2 sim and how did you get the $10 credit separately? Wouldn’t it be easier to get the $25 value starter pack for $10 from coles or pb at ow the $30 value starter park amaysim has?
