Australia trips tend to be long, and daily roaming fees add up fast over two or three weeks. A GleeSim eSIM costs a fixed amount for the trip, and you know the price before you fly.
The Australia 5GB, 30 Days plan is $7.82 for the whole month. Many home networks charge about that much for a single day of roaming.
Seven of our ten Australia plans also cover New Zealand. Fly from Sydney to Queenstown and your data keeps working, with no second QR code.
Backpacking, a working holiday or a semester abroad? The Australia 10GB, 90 Days plan is $17.28 and runs for three months.
Install the eSIM at home, then switch it on at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth airport and book your ride before you reach the taxi rank.
GleeSim runs as a second data line. Your home SIM stays in the phone, so your WhatsApp number and bank codes keep working.
Running low on the Great Ocean Road? Send one message and we add data to the same eSIM. There is nothing to reinstall.
Pick Australia Only if you are staying in Australia, or Australia + New Zealand if you are crossing the Tasman. One plan also adds Hong Kong for a stopover. Use code GLEE10 when you order on WhatsApp for an extra 10% off.

For a two week holiday, the Australia 5GB, 30 Days plan at $7.82 covers maps, messaging and photo uploads for most people. If you are also visiting New Zealand, pick one of the Australia + New Zealand plans. For a working holiday or a semester of study, the Australia 10GB 90 Days plan lasts three months.
The Australia + New Zealand plans do, and each card says which countries it covers. The Australia Only plans work in Australia only. Use the plan type filter above to show just the plans that cover both.
Many home networks charge a daily fee in Australia. In 2026, the UK networks Three, O2 and Vodafone charge about £5 to £7.39 a day, which is £70 to £103 for two weeks. The GleeSim Australia 5GB, 30 Days plan is $7.82 for the whole month. Check your own network's current rate before you travel.
Yes. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth airports all have strong 4G and 5G coverage. If you install the eSIM at home, you can be online before you reach passport control.
At Yulara, the town beside Uluru, there is 4G. Out in the desert and on long outback highways there are big gaps with no signal. Download offline maps and let someone know your route before a long drive.
Australia's networks switched off 3G in 2024, so phones now connect over 4G and 5G. Any phone that supports eSIM also supports 4G, so data on your GleeSim eSIM will work.
Yes. WhatsApp messages, voice calls and video calls all work normally on mobile data in Australia and New Zealand.
Any eSIM-capable phone that is not locked to one network works. That includes iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and most recent flagship Android phones. Look for an Add eSIM option in your mobile data settings.
No. The GleeSim Australia eSIM is data only and does not include a +61 number for normal calls or SMS. Your home number stays active on your main SIM, and you can call hostels, tour operators and family over WhatsApp.
Send us a WhatsApp message and we add more data to the same eSIM within minutes. You don't need a new QR code or a trip to a phone shop.
Most Australia trips connect through Asia or the Gulf. One WhatsApp message switches your existing eSIM to your next country, with no second QR code.
