I redeemed mine twice from a single booking with 2 flight sectors - once in December and another in January. Topped up the eSIM through Pelago at 10% off using the same booking and also earned KrisFlyer miles at the same time:

I recently redeemed two. One seems to have worked the other hasn’t…

Coincidently, I received an email from Trip.com offering 100% off eSIMs. In reality, up to $5 off. But that still’s enough to get a few gigs for a couple of days.

Starts in a few minutes - promo in app. See if I can find one for India while I’m here and save my Eskimo for later.

Haven't heard of Frewie before but seem to be Singapore based.

Probably. A lot are.

I’m using one now after scratching my head a few moments ago. It connected to the network in India but no data. I immediately assumed it was an incorrect APN but of course I just hadn’t turned On “Roaming”….

I managed to get the 2nd one working by manually entering the SIM ID.

Although, it was supposed to be 3 days and was dead this morning - so possibly 3 calendar days not 3x 24 hrs periods from activation…

Meanwhile, the app is showing a bunch of 1GB for $1 promos at the moment. Just bought another 1GB/7D plan for India.

There’s also a new sign up voucher for 50% off up to $5. You can use it towards the $1 purchase and get it for $0.50…

Annoying thing, they say they reuse the eSIM but each plan comes with a new eSIM…

Frewie has a bunch of in-app $1 promos on at the moment. I’ve been using some freebie Frewie eSIMs from SQ / Pelago and notice the offer.

Just bought India 1GB/7D for US$1.

New sign ups (via the app) also get a 50% off coupon.

Did you use the top up option instead and input your existing eSIM?

Not that time since I could only see the $1 promo plans on the main page. You’d think the app was smart enough to auto link but - No.

Anyway, going via “Top Up” it still didn’t default to another India country pls…. Applying some filters, I could find the $1 India plan I bought. But TBH, I’m not confident it would stick to the existing SIM anyway…
