Australia eSIM on Optus: questions
Does a NUM Australia eSIM use Optus?
Yes. Every Australia plan in the shop on 4 Nov 2026 ran on Optus.
How much is a Australia eSIM on Optus?
On 4 Nov 2026, from $0.79 (500 MB, valid 7 days). The price on the pay button is the price you pay.
Can I choose Optus over another network?
It is the network every Australia plan uses, so there is nothing to choose.
Will I get a Optus phone number?
No. It’s a data-only eSIM that runs on the network; your home number stays on your phone for calls and codes.
Will it work on my phone?
Dial *#06# on the phone you’re taking. If you see an EID number, it takes an eSIM. Every iPhone from the XR and XS on does, and the SE from 2020, as do Google Pixel 3 and later and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. The phone must be carrier-unlocked. Not sure? Text PHONE and your model and we’ll check.
When do I install it?
At home, on wifi, before you fly. Then switch it on when you land. Tell us your landing day and we text you the switch-on steps that morning.
