Tips for Australia
- Outside cities and highways coverage is thin: the Outback can have no signal for hours.
- Optus and Vodafone cover the cities and the east coast well.
- Download offline maps before road trips.
How to buy
- Pick a plan on the Australia page and pay by card, Apple Pay, SBP or crypto (USDT, BTC, TON and 100+ coins).
- Scan the QR code before you fly; the plan starts when the eSIM first connects in the country.
- Run low? Top up the same eSIM in your profile; no reinstall.
