eSims, what is your experience.

[SYD]

I’ve used the Amaysim $70 roaming pack in Singapore Malaysia and Japan in conjunction with other local esims. I bought it so I could receive SMS verifications from my credit card provider and bank. Also because i wanted data if one of the local esims I bought failed.

Amaysim’s roaming pack worked perfectly every time and it’s easy to keep check of the usage.

I’m about to head off to Europe using a European esim with Amaysim as a back up.

OT, but have you rolled over an annual $70 plan yet ie renewed and seen remaining balance carry over?

This solution probably answers my first question here.

Best options for making cheap calls/text when OS?

So what are peeps doing these days for cheap calls/text back to Oz, or local/international calls/text while you’re travelling OS? Background. Since 2019 I’ve had the Optus $50 plan that included roaming data, unlimited calls & text when OS (to/from select countries) and calls/text from Oz to OS...

I haven't rolled it over as yet, however I still have a few Gb of available data remaining and I have an upcoming trip and two more overseas trips planned so far this year. I'll happily renew my $70 plan when it expires or is depleted.

According to the Amaysim website...

It's actually not a bad deal..

Amaysim limits 5G data speeds in Australia to 100 Mbps, however this was the case when using it overseas.

My understanding is it will roll over unused data, mins and txt to a new 365 plan if you renew before the current one expires.

I was looking at this offer but was discouraged by "eSIM expiry: the eSIM plan must be activated within 30 days after the QR code is created. We highly recommend purchasing the eSIM close to your departure or upon your arrival"

Yes, fine if you’re about to jump on a plane but a lot of the others have 3 to 6 mths activation.

Can't say I've heard of Lemon.. anyhow searched Fiji for a future trip, and nothing.

Might stick with Flexiroam or Airalo.
