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

    • Store RepEscapeSIM @ EscapeSIM on 15/01/2025 - 15:49

      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.

        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.

        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..

        • Store RepEscapeSIM @ EscapeSIM on 15/01/2025 - 19:07

          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.

  • rith on 15/01/2025 - 16:00

    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.

      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

    • Store RepEscapeSIM @ EscapeSIM on 15/01/2025 - 16:16

      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!

        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.

          Hey mate,
          IIJ is up there but it's not at the same level as NTT, SoftBank or KDDI.

          It's not exactly amazing coverage wise in rural areas but metro areas it's actually a really solid connection.

            Thanks

  • ol mate on 16/01/2025 - 04:02

    Currently using the $8.99/10gb in Japan.

    Tried activating before I flew to Japan, but it wouldn’t activate - expiry date in the app reflects 15 days from when I landed in Japan (ie first connection in Japan).

    IP address is in HK for those who care - when I was checking on esimsb, some providers with similar products (Japan esim, HK IP, must be activated by 31/1) specifically said tiktok wouldn’t work on theirs (unsure if this is the same situation with EscapeSIM - I’m not a tiktok user, but thought it would be worthwhile pointing out)

    Speeds are decent, and getting 5G on and off.

    For this price, no brainer imo

    • Store RepEscapeSIM @ EscapeSIM on 16/01/2025 - 06:53

      Glad you're having a good experience on it, also thanks for the clarification on the activation date, we were told that it would start when the QR was scanned in, maybe some wires were crossed here, but if your expiry is showing from when it had its first data connection, then I'd go off that and I'll change the wording on the product details.

      And yes Tiktok and chatgpt are blocked as with all HK provided eSIMs, I will add another section for products to show this.

      Thanks!

    probably a dumb question but I've never used an esim before and am not sure about the wording regarding the 30 day validity period.

    If I buy it now, will i be covered for the 28 days im overseas, from 23/1 - 24/2, or will it expire before I'm back.

    I'm assuming activation of the esim can be delayed, or does it happen when you purchase?

    thanks

    • Store RepEscapeSIM @ EscapeSIM on 21/01/2025 - 15:02

      Hey, not a dumb question at all!

      So the validity period (30 days) starts when you establish a network connection in a supported country, if you buy this now, then activate it on the 23/1 that should cover you till the 21/2 as it's exactly 30 days (down to the second when you activate it), you might need to grab a short stay package to tie you over till the 24th, or if you can get away with just wifi that works too.

  • BigLeviathan on 27/01/2025 - 14:33

    I noticed some of the plan does not support hotspot (e.g. this); how does the eSIM knows whether you are sharing the internet or not?

    I wonder how they are able to do that… wouldn't hotspot-ing technology is done by the phone itself?

    • Store RepEscapeSIM @ EscapeSIM on 27/01/2025 - 16:12

      So the eSIM profile can have a lot of control for anything passed in and out of it connection wise.

      But this package actually does support it, I think you may have read this wrong (we're changing all of the descriptions to be more concise soon)

      • BigLeviathan on 27/01/2025 - 19:06

        Ah… you're right, having the word "no daily limits and Mobile hotspot is supported" is confusing, I thought that it does NOT support hotspot….
        Thanks for clarifying!

        Perhaps create a new section "Hotspot / Mobile Hotspot" and have the value of "Yes or allowed"…

    @EscapeSIM just a couple of small suggestions:

    • Please fix the filter on the page, I put the filter and open one of the plans, once I closed the plan details, it reverted back to the unfiltered option
    • Similar thing to the sort option; once I sorted the page, open one of the sim details, close it, it will then go back to the un-sorted option

    I just wish it retains the filter and sort options, so that I don't have to go back and forth after looking at the plan details page
