The esim is great, I have a clear reception and good speeds while visiting a small town in Western Australia. It was easy to install and I like that there are plenty of choices of top up options. And its good that it links with Krisflyer so you can redeem or earn points - win win!
Great. Worked perfectly.
Very convenient eSIM for my Australia trip. Installation and activation were straightforward, and the connection worked well throughout my stay in Sydney, including during our trip to the Blue Mountains. Data speed was generally fast and stable, and I didn’t encounter any major connection issues. Would use it again for future trips to Australia.
Easy to purchase, activate and connection was via Telstra network. It was pretty decent in city 5G.
