Choosing an eSIM for Australia
All 109 plans here use Optus and Telstra. Australia has three mobile networks, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, and every one has switched off 3G, so a phone needs 4G calling (VoLTE) to make calls on a local SIM.
2 plans state that traffic exits in Australia, so sites and apps see a local IP address; 58 state an exit in Hong Kong or Singapore. It's under “IP location” in each plan's details.
Another 49 don't state an exit.
Coverage thins out quickly outside the cities and along the main highways. If your route goes inland, check Optus's coverage map for it before you buy.
Australia eSIM networks compared
Australia plans here use 2 local networks: Optus and Telstra. Some plans stay on one network; others list several and connect to whichever has signal.
- Optus 5G 107 plans · 66 on this network only · Per day / Total data
- Telstra 5G 41 plans · Per day / Total data
Signal depends on where you are. For a specific place, check the operator’s coverage map.
About eSIMs for Australia
Do I need a visa for Australia?
Every visitor needs something before flying. Most passports, including US, Canadian, Japanese, Korean, Singaporean and Malaysian ones, use the Australian ETA app: AUD 20 service charge, stays of up to 3 months. EU and UK citizens can apply for an eVisitor. Mainland Chinese and Indian passports need a Visitor visa (subclass 600).
Is the paper arrival card still used?
Mostly, yes. A digital Australia Travel Declaration is being piloted on Qantas flights and is due at every international airport and seaport by the end of 2027. Either way, declare any food, plant or animal products.
Which operators will my phone use in Australia?
Optus, Telstra. Which one you connect to depends on local signal.
Where in Australia can I use it?
Anywhere the plan’s networks have signal, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane; rural and mountain areas depend on local coverage.
Is 5G supported?
Yes. Operators here are listed with 5G; each plan's networks show which.
What happens when the data runs out?
It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps / 5 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 384 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.
When does the validity start?
It depends on the plan: first connection, installation or purchase. See Validity starts in the plan details.
Can I use a hotspot to share data in Australia?
97 of these plans state personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance. Look for “Personal hotspot” in the plan details.
Can I install the same eSIM on a second phone?
No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.
Can I top up data or extend validity?
Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.
Are these prices tax inclusive?
Yes. The listed price is the final price.
