  • Can I buy it and activate it here before 1/2 ? Going on 3/2.

    • Unfortunately not, these year end eSIMs require the activation to be done from within the supported country before the 1/2, while you can install in Aus, activation will only take place once a data connection is established.

      • Ok cheers.

        Damn - wish I read this first. Just blew my dough on 2 x sims as it wasn't clear on the product page you had to be in the actual travel country to activate - it just says "MUST be activated before the 01/02/2025 @ 3am AEDT. Simply scan the QR code to download and use the eSIM, no other activation or registration steps required, your validity period will begin upon scanning the eSIM. Please start using the eSIM before 01/02/2025 @ 3am AEDT". And yes - I should have read the post properly first. Oh well.

          MUST be activated before the 01/02/2025
          whattt why so short dated? any fish thing going on here?

          • @CyberMurning: We have had this sale since December, but the OZB mods banned us as a few friends upvoted the deal.

            • @EscapeSIM: Your store ban ended 2 weeks ago FYI. It was only a 14 day ban.

      • I bought couple of eSIMs (Japan KDDI 10GB and 3 ASEAN countries ones) from the November 2024 deals, does it have the same clauses as this, needs to be activated from within the supported country by 1/2? It certainly wasn't clear in the product descriptions as I bought it. My plan was to activate it prior to flying in Feb and thinking I would've made the 30 days expiry date if I do so..

        edit: just to clarify, bought it right at the end of November, if I have to activate within 90 days after purchase date, I might be able to make it..

        • Hey mate, everything else apart from the end of year specials are 90 days from purchase date, and yes activation is generally always from within a supported country, if you're not going to make it by then, shoot me a PM with your order numbers and I'll send you fresh ones.

  • I've done a lot of eSIM research recently for an upcoming trip to Europe I have in May (hope you'll have a sale for then!) and even with regular pricing, they seem pretty good! Especially from an Australian retailer, so paying in AUD is a huge plus.

    Mind, I haven't actually used them yet so can't exactly vouch for performance and support but based on pricing I'm pretty satisfied with the offering.

    • Thanks! Feel free to shoot us a PM when you're looking at buying and I'll sort you out :)

  • Recently used in Macau & Mainland China - worked fine.

    • Cheers for the support!

      Like to know more about your experience in China, can you only use this for browsing internet and running approved apps, or can you also make phone calls and SMS as well?

  • Hi OP
    Do you have any sims for Malaysia on sale?
    Cheers

    • Hey there, not at the moment but I'd expect to see a sale posted here next month.

      The cheapest offering at the moment would be one of these packages - 10GB for $13.49

      Check out Yoodo. We used it last year in March and it worked fine and was more convenient than the Hotlink/Digi sim cards we used in prior years. If your phone supports esim, it's way easier than trying to find a 7-11/Maxis store to get a physical sim

  • Hi mate,

    Going to Japan on Sunday for two weeks. Could I buy the year-end eSIM and install it here before I go and activate it there?

    • Hey there, so these specials will start the validity period upon installation of the eSIM (even if it's not activated yet) - usually I'd say you could no worries, but if losing the flight hours off the package doesn't phase you, you can still definitely do it!

  • Damn, literally just bought a Japan eSim elsewhere an hour ago. 🙃

    • Spewing!

  • how is the signal strength of these eSim in Japan?

    • +1

      These packages roam with KDDI in Japan, we haven't had any complaints about signal strength as I'd say they're in the top 3 telcos of Japan

      • thanks mate

  • +1

    If you are travelling to Japan say, mid Feb to late Feb 2025, you need to activate before 01-Feb-2025??
    Activate here in Australia or Japan tarmac??
    I’m kinda confused here.

    • Hey, so they need to be activated from within a supported country before the 1st of February

      On Japan tarmac, next time I'll make it clearer!

      Cheers

      • Very competitive pricing though. 20GB to use within 30 days for the price of $17.49 AUD is nice deal.
        Some other eSIM resellers charge a foreign currency surcharge on top. This one supposedly AUS based reseller so no fx surcharge.
        Using kddi network is decent as well.

  • Heading to NZ on Friday. Any deals for there?

  • When does this promotion end?

    • We will cease selling the year end packages on the 31st of January, but the eSIM needs to be activated in a supported country before 01/02/2025 @ 3am AEDT

      • Thank you for the reply :)
