eSIM (short for embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that’s built into your device. eSIM allows you to connect to the Telstra network in minutes as you don't need a physical SIM card.

eSIM allows you to add a secondary number so you can juggle work and personal life on one device.

Devices purchased overseas may not be eSIM compatible.

If you’re unsure if you have an eSIM device, dial *#06#. An eSIM compatible device will display an EID number which is 32 digits long.
