Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in Australia. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Australia is almost as big as the continental United States, and many visitors combine the east-coast cities with a flight to Uluru, the Reef or Western Australia. Maps, ride-hailing, ferry and tour bookings all run on data, and many campgrounds and national parks take bookings online.

Coverage is concentrated along the coast and around towns. Drive into the Outback, across the Nullarbor or up to Cape York and you can go hundreds of kilometres without signal, so carry offline maps, water and fuel.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

  • Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
  • Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

We check it against the list of eSIM phones. Nothing is saved.

Australia eSIM questions

Will it work at Uluru and in the Outback?

At Yulara, the resort town next to Uluru, yes. Between Outback towns coverage is rare – no plan can change that – so prepare to be offline on long drives.

Does it work on the Great Barrier Reef?

In Cairns, Port Douglas and the Whitsunday towns, yes. Out on reef trips the signal drops quickly once you leave the coast.

Can I use it in New Zealand too?

An Australia plan works only in Australia. For a trip that continues across the Tasman, add a New Zealand plan or choose a plan that lists both countries.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in Australia. Install it within 180 days of buying.
