Unfortunately, the SIM card was very unreliable in Australia. Despite having full 4G/5G signal, we often had to wait several minutes for websites to load. There are definitely better SIM card options available for Australia.

Barely usable, so slow and spotty coverage. My wife had no problems with a different provider so it's definitely the SIM.

installed today on to a Telco Village eSim.me physical sim card. Worked first time on the install. no messing about with apn settings etc.

Only need it to stream Spotify and radio stations online so can't say how fast it is but it connected to the Telstra network in Australia which has the best coverage. From what I've read Roamless allow roaming on multiple carriers in certain countries so useful if one carrier is out of reach.

only had it a few hours so can't say anything about reliability yet. but the built in voip calling to landlines from the app is a nice touch, using the credit in your account. and to make a call you don't even need to be using their eSim. any data connection will work.

The setup was fast and smooth and the eSIM worked from the moment I landed in Fiji.

The issue I have is that it was constantly limited to 3G speeds. Even then, although the cellular signal was at full strength, web pages would take aaaaaaages to load or sometimes not load at all.

I reached out to their support team, but it seems the service is limited because it is an eSIM. My mother purchased a physical SIM card from the same local telco that I was using (Digicel) and she got a much better deal (165GBs) with fast LTE speeds at about the same price that I paid for 5GB at 3G speeds.

I understand that the infrastructure here is limited and eSIMs might be a newer technology that needs time to be developed; but I would have appreciated a heads-up when I was purchasing the eSIM so I would’ve at least known I’d only get 3G speeds.

My two cents - if you can wait to buy an eSIM at the airport when you land, please do. They have much better data bundles for tourists.

I'm was in Auckland for five days, got a eSIM from Yesim for 3gb for seven days. Simple process and it worked flawlessly when I landed. Internet breakout is in Poland though, so there's a little latency, not a big issue but might be annoying for video calls.

Don't recommend their app though, it immediately began sending push notification spam every few hours. The website works fine for keeping track of usage though.
