Using an eSIM in Australia can be more convenient than buying a physical SIM card. Major carriers such as Telstra, Optus and Vodafone support eSIM, allowing you to get online easily as soon as you arrive.
Internet speed in Australia with eSIM depends on the carrier and your location. In major cities like Sydney and Melbourne, speeds can reach up to 100 Mbps, but in remote areas they can be significantly lower.
Check whether your phone supports eSIM before travelling to Australia. Most modern smartphones, such as iPhone XS and newer, as well as the latest Samsung Galaxy models, are compatible with eSIM, so you can use them in Australia without any issues.
Internet coverage in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane is excellent thanks to well-developed infrastructure. In more remote tourist areas, such as the Great Barrier Reef or national parks, coverage may be limited.
To activate an eSIM in Australia, download the app of your chosen carrier or use the QR code provided when you purchase your eSIM. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to the network successfully, without having to visit a carrier store.
