Pelago esim setup and usage guide

The eSIM you are purchasing is a reusable eSIM, also known as a Pelago eSIM.
  • Install your eSIM through the Pelago app

    If this is your first Pelago eSIM, install your eSIM through the Pelago app by following the installation instructions provided in your booking. Your eSIM QR code can only be installed once.
  • Keep your eSIM on your primary device

    Your eSIM QR code can only be scanned and installed once on one device. Once installed, the eSIM cannot be transferred to another device or reinstalled using the same QR code. Keep the eSIM on your device and do not delete or remove it after installation.
  • Turn it on when you arrive

    Do not turn on your eSIM or enable data roaming until you arrive at your destination. Once you arrive, go to your phone settings, turn on your Pelago eSIM and enable data roaming.
  • Connect to a supported local network

    Your data plan validity starts when your eSIM successfully connects to a supported local network at your destination.
  • Add more data when needed

    If you need more data during your trip, purchase an eligible data top up through the Pelago app. Your new data plan will be added to your existing Pelago eSIM.
  • Reuse your eSIM for future trips

    For future trips, purchase a new eligible data plan through the Pelago app. Your new plan will be added to the same Pelago eSIM.
  • Important
    • Install your eSIM before travelling.
    • Your plan starts automatically when your eSIM first connects to a supported network in a covered country.
    • Your eSIM QR code can only be installed once.
    • Do not delete or remove your eSIM after installation.
    • Your eSIM must be activated within 365 days of booking.
Installing your eSIM for the first time
  • Step 1: Open the Pelago app

    Download and open the Pelago app, then sign in using the account associated with your eSIM booking.
  • Step 2: Install eSIM

    From the Pelago app's main or Explore page, select "Install eSIM" to begin the installation process. Follow the instructions in your phone's settings to complete the eSIM installation. Keep your device connected to a stable Wi-Fi network during the installation process. You can install your eSIM before travelling.
  • Step 3: Keep your eSIM installed

    Once installation is successful, keep the eSIM on your device. Do not delete or remove it. Keep the eSIM turned off and do not enable data roaming until you arrive at your destination.
  • Step 4: Turn on your eSIM when you arrive

    Once you arrive at your destination, go to your phone settings, turn on your Pelago eSIM and enable data roaming. Your eSIM will then connect to a supported local network.
  • Step 5: Start using your data

    Your data plan validity starts when your eSIM successfully connects to a supported local network at your destination.
  • Important

    Install before you travel. Activate only when you arrive.

    Do not scan the voucher QR code to manually install the eSIM through your phone's Settings. Use the installation flow in the Pelago app.

    Installing your eSIM does not activate your data plan. You can install the eSIM before travelling, but keep it turned off and do not enable data roaming until you arrive at your destination. Turning on your eSIM and enabling data roaming before your trip may cause it to connect to a supported network and start your data plan.

    Open the Pelago app and sign in using the account associated with your existing Pelago eSIM.
  • Step 2: Open your existing eSIM

  • Step 5: Turn on your eSIM when you arrive

    Once you arrive at your destination, go to your phone settings, turn on your Pelago eSIM and enable data roaming. Your eSIM will then connect to a supported local network.

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!

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.
