β Frequently asked questions
Can I activate my plan later?
Yes. This plan starts counting only on first connection to a network in Australia, so you can buy and install it days ahead and it wonβt start until you arrive and connect. Installing the eSIM is not the same as activating it β the validity clock begins at your first connection in Australia.
Which network will I connect to?
Youβll connect to Optus on 5G, with your phone automatically picking the strongest available signal.
Will my phone work with this eSIM?
Most phones released from 2018 onward support eSIM and are carrier-unlocked. On iPhone, open Settings βΊ General βΊ About and look for an EID number; if itβs there, youβre ready.
Can I keep my home number?
Yes. This is a data-only eSIM that runs as a second line beside your home SIM, so calls and texts on your usual number still come through.
Can I share data over hotspot?
Yes β tether your laptop, tablet or a travel companionβs phone.

How do the daily plans work?
On the Unlimited plan you get full-speed data up to 3GB each day, and after that your data continues without limit at 1Mbps for the rest of the day, enough for maps, messaging and standard-definition video. The 1GB daily plan works the same way, reducing to 1Mbps after 1GB. The 10GB daily plan is for heavy days of streaming and hotspot use, and reduces to roughly 128 to 512Kbps after 10GB. Your full-speed allowance resets every 24 hours.
