What is eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to sign up to a Everyday Mobile from Woolworths Prepaid, Long Expiry or SIM Only plan without the need to insert a physical SIM card into your device.

It means you can quickly activate your Everyday Mobile from Woolworths Prepaid, Long Expiry or SIM Only plan on Australia's trusted network†. No more waiting for the Starter Pack to arrive by mail, you can now sign up to a new plan and be ready to go all in the comfort of your own home. Or train. Or Office.

To activate, once your order is complete, you will need both your eSIM compatible device and another device connected to internet/wi-fi (i.e phone, tablet or computer). Alternatively, you will need to print out the email we send to capture the QR code as part of activation. Plus, you won't need to use one of those tiny silver tools again. Sweet!

How does eSIM work?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a phone plan without the need to insert a physical SIM card. If you sign up to an eSIM plan, or complete a Change to eSIM, we will send you a QR Code which you scan with your phone's camera. This will then start the process of downloading your eSIM onto your compatible device.

Convenient

eSIM also gives you the flexibility and convenience of having two phone numbers on one eSIM compatible device, you know - for people who like to keep work and play separate.

You can sign-up and activate with an eSIM on a Everyday Mobile from Woolworths Prepaid 30 day, Long Expiry or SIM Only plan.
