Question 1

How do AussieRoam eSIMs work?

Accepted Answer

An AussieRoam eSIM works just like a physical SIM card but is embedded directly into your device. The eSIM allows you to activate data plans without needing a physical SIM card, making network switching seamless and providing the convenience of easily changing destinations.

With AussieRoam eSIMs, you can connect to the internet in over 200 destinations worldwide. You can purchase your eSIM from anywhere through our website, then install it using a manual code, a QR code, or automatically from the app. The best practice is to install and activate it upon arrival at your destination for a smooth and complete connection.

 • Wi-Fi Requirement: You’ll need a strong and stable Wi-Fi connection to install the eSIM.
 • No Interference: AussieRoam’s eSIM won’t interfere with your primary carrier’s service.
 • Local Networks: The eSIM connects to the fastest and most reliable local networks at your destination.

Question 3

What happens to unused data after the end of my plan?

Accepted Answer

AussieRoam eSIMs are valid only for the duration of the plan you purchase. Any unused data will be lost and won’t be accessible once the plan ends, so be sure to make the most of your plan before it expires!

For eSIMs with daily data packages, the plan will expire automatically when the purchased days are up. Meanwhile, unlimited data eSIMs have no daily data limits but will expire automatically at the end of the purchased period.

Things to Keep in Mind
 • Activate Your eSIM on Arrival: To avoid losing a day of use, only activate your AussieRoam eSIM when you arrive at your destination. If your eSIM was activated during setup, turn it off and keep it deactivated until you reach your destination.
 • Buy the Right Amount of Days: Make sure to purchase only the number of days you'll need.
 • Recharge or Buy a New eSIM: Consider recharging your AussieRoam eSIM a day before it expires or purchase a new one if your current eSIM has already expired.

Troubleshooting Tips
To check your data usage with AussieRoam, use the AussieRoam app. You can easily review your eSIM’s status and manage your balance to avoid any interruptions.
1. Open the AussieRoam app.
2. Go to My eSIM. Here, you’ll find information about your usage days, activation date, and expiration date.

If you don’t have the app on your device, you can also check this information on our website.
