When does my Australia plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Australia. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Australia eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Australia plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Australia eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
