An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built right into your phone — no plastic to insert. You buy a plan online, install it in about a minute, and your phone connects to a mobile network just like a normal SIM.
Pick a country (Bali, Japan, USA, UK, Europe…) and a data amount. Pay with card or Apple Pay.
Instead of a physical card in the post, you get digital activation details by email.
One tap on iPhone, or paste two codes on Android. The profile installs over Wi-Fi.
When you land overseas, your phone picks up the local partner network and you're online.
Walk through exactly what you'll see on your phone. No download, no commitment.
Right after checkout, you get an email with a 'Install on this iPhone' button (iOS) or your SM-DP+ address and activation code (Android).
Pick your phone — we'll tell you instantly.
Just confirm your phone is carrier-unlocked — most Australian phones bought outright or paid off on a plan are. We'll double-check at checkout.

Estimate for your trip (10d × 0.9 GB/day).
Pre-paid plans mean you know the cost up front — no $700 surprises from Telstra or Optus.
Install before you fly. Your eSIM activates the second it finds a partner network at the airport.
Your home SIM stays active for calls, SMS and 2FA codes. The eSIM just handles data.

The questions every traveller asks before clicking buy — answered straight.
4G/5G on tier-1 partner carriers (Telstra, Telkomsel, NTT Docomo, T-Mobile, EE and equivalents). Expect 50–300 Mbps in cities, 20–80 Mbps in regional areas. Speeds are not throttled by us — you get the full network speed your plan allows.
24/7 human support over chat and email. Average first reply: under 12 minutes. We can re-issue your eSIM, swap plans, or refund — fast.
Full refund if your eSIM never activates. Pro-rata refund within 7 days if you haven't used more than 500 MB. No 'gotcha' clauses — read the full policy in plain English.
Pay with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. We never sell your data and never see your card details. Australian-owned, GST-registered.
Top up in two taps from your VERO account — no need to reinstall the eSIM. The new data is available within seconds.
Validity starts the moment your eSIM connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy. Install at home on Wi-Fi, fly later.
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a small chip already built into your phone that can be programmed with a mobile plan — no physical SIM card to insert. You buy a plan online, install it digitally, and your phone connects to the network as if you'd put in a new SIM.
Your phone downloads a digital SIM profile from the carrier. That profile tells your phone which network to use, the phone number (if any), and the data plan. Travel eSIMs typically come as data-only profiles you install on top of your existing SIM.
Same job, different format. A physical SIM is a chip you slot into the phone. An eSIM is software — the same chip is built in permanently, and the 'SIM' is a profile downloaded over the internet. You can store multiple eSIM profiles and switch between them in settings.
Yes, in practice. There's no card to lose, steal, or swap. Travel eSIMs are pre-paid and tied to your account, so even if your phone is lost the worst case is the plan's remaining data.
Yes — this is called Dual SIM. Most modern iPhones, Pixels and Samsung Galaxy phones run an eSIM alongside the physical SIM. Travellers commonly keep their home SIM active for calls and use a travel eSIM for cheap data.
iPhone XS (2018) or newer, Google Pixel 3 or newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer, plus most current mid-range Android phones. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked.
Yes, for the initial install. Once installed, the eSIM connects to mobile data on its own. Best practice: install on Wi-Fi at home before you fly.
Yes. Travel eSIMs cover 190+ countries including Indonesia (Bali), Japan, the US, the UK and Europe-wide regional plans. VERO plans start at AUD $4.50.
Pick a destination and you'll be online overseas in under a minute.
