eSims, what is your experience.

Just had a look at Roamless with a view to getting set up for a trip coming, and noticed they have a "New" business option which I am investigating. Seems to simply be multiple people all sharing the one set of credit. Looks to be great for multiple people (possibly a couple) and mulitple devices, hopefully avoiding the need for separate blocks of credit and multiple orphaned amounts. Looks like what I need for low daily usage across a couple of people and possibly multiple devices, across multiple countries but with uncertain data use for any one person or device.

Only way to set up seems to be via a contact form, so I have sent that off and see what happens.

You will have to keep us updated.

You can also look at Citrus Mobile.

Yes, I have amaysim as my primary local number. I looked at them briefly and saw that promo but it wasn’t entirely clear if that was for the first month (usually $30?) or for top ups. I’ll looked again!

Use your referral link in your amaysim portal to buy your friend's sim card - you'll both get $50 each credited and you can still get the promo pricing for that new line ($12 for the first 28 days) on a physical sim or esim.

Just need to leave auto-renewal on for purchase - can toggle it off once the line is active with the $50 credit in your account.

First month only, which is great for tourists, but a bit awkward if they're here for more than 28 days.

Yes - the referral credit through Amaysim would cover the second month ($35).
