What is AussieRoam eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital alternative to the traditional physical SIM card. Instead of fumbling with tiny cards and SIM slots, you can activate your eSIM directly on your compatible device. The AussieRoam eSIM provides seamless connectivity for globetrotters, with plans covering a wide range of destinations at competitive rates.
Importantly, your AussieRoam eSIM ensures you can continue using your existing mobile number for SMS services.
