Arouki offers 22 prepaid eSIM data plans for travel in Australia, starting from $1.69. Allowances run from 100 MB to 50 GB, valid for 7 to 180 days. Plans connect to Optus and Telstra. You get a QR code by email, install the eSIM on an unlocked eSIM-compatible phone, and switch it on when you arrive.
The network each plan uses is shown on its plan card. Coverage maps change, so confirm on the carrier's own site for remote areas.
eSIM plans for Australia start from $1.69 for 100 MB valid for 7 days. Larger and longer plans cost more; the current price of every plan is shown on this page.
Our plans for Australia connect to Optus and Telstra. The network for each plan is shown on its plan card, so you can choose one that suits your route.
Light use such as maps and messaging takes roughly 0.5 to 1 GB a day. Browsing, social media and photos take 1 to 3 GB a day, and video streaming or hotspot use takes more. If you are unsure, pick the next size up.
Validity starts from the first time you use data, not from the day you buy. You can install the eSIM at home before you travel and switch it on when you arrive.
Yes, for the eSIM line. Your phone treats any network that is not your home carrier as roaming, so without Data Roaming switched on for the eSIM it can show as installed but not get online. It does not add roaming charges to a prepaid eSIM. Keep data roaming off on your home SIM.
No. A single-country plan only connects in Australia. If you are visiting several countries, choose a regional or global pass that lists all of them.
The plans shown here are data-only and have no phone number. You can keep your home SIM active for calls and texts, and use apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime for calls over data.
Any phone that supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier, such as iPhone XS, XR and later, Google Pixel 4 and later, and many recent Samsung Galaxy models. Check yours on our eSIM compatible devices page.
