FAQs
How do I find my number?

When does my eSIM plan start?
Your plan will only start when you land at your destination and connect to a network!
Is it possible to use an eSIM alongside a physical SIM?
Absolutely! If your phone is dual SIM compatible, you can use your eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time. This means you can use one for data and one for calls.
How do I check my balance?
You can check your balance by looking at your phone settings under data usage.
Apple
Settings > Mobile > Scroll to find Current Period Roaming
Android
Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Billing Cycle and data warning > Select the period from the day you started using the SIM to the current day. Save and your data usage will be shown
How do I recharge?
As described on the website, the eSIM is non-rechargeable. The only way around this is to buy multiple eSIMs and swap them out as you go!
I'm having issues making phone calls or text messages
This SIM does not come with calls or texts as it's data-only! You can still receive phone calls or text messages though.
Can I hotspot/tether from my phone?
Yep, you can hotspot/tether from your phone.
How do I know if my device is unlocked?
If you bought your device outright, it's most likely unlocked!
If you're unsure, the best way to find out is to call your Aussie network provider and ask! They'll be able to unlock it for you too. This might incur a fee! 🤔
