  • prisonmike on 15/07/2021 - 16:28

    Do I need a physical sim to get the free esim trial ?

    • bdl on 15/07/2021 - 16:42

      No

      • prisonmike on 15/07/2021 - 16:57

        Then how do you get past the screen that asks for the sim number on the app? The process is a little confusing on their website and app.

        • urahara on 12/09/2021 - 11:51

          Any luck..?
          Seems like optus app sucks

  • auna on 15/07/2021 - 16:38

    Sounds great for a backup eSim if you recharge $1 for one day

  • bdl on 15/07/2021 - 16:44

    Effectively $7 discount

    And no 5G

    When you cancel a eSIM do you have to wait for the carrier to disconnect it or is it all done on the handset? Don't want to try the trial and then have to muck around trying to activate my phone on a new eSIM in the future…

    do they do a credit check for this? is there any cash back via cash rewards for this trial?

  • jes on 15/07/2021 - 18:30

    Anyone using this purely just for a new number, if so what apps or sites do people use it for?

  • cash8 on 15/07/2021 - 18:56

    So $30 per month hardly a deal. Can u choose a new number?

  • coolsteps on 15/07/2021 - 19:32

    Thanks op. it looks like its prepaid so i may give a go. so after 7 days can you cancel the payment and keep that number activate for 6 months? can you uninstall a esim from phone and keep re signing up for a new esim number on the same phone every 7 days using other family members my account app.?

    Thanks OP, got one, have used a flex service before.
    @coolsteps I only know that you can cancel the service and the number stays active for 6 months

    • kampret on 24/01/2022 - 18:11

      Hi, which part is saying the number stays for 6 months after cancelation?

      • anks26 on 24/01/2022 - 20:25

        Hey, after you cancel your subscription, under usage section you will see text like this.

        “ Your credit's expired. Recharge now to continue
        using your service. You must recharge within 156
        days to keep your number.”

        This is from a current line that I have.

  • cloudmonk on 15/07/2021 - 19:59

    If you go to the Optus app, go more, get a new service
    Select eSIM and it’ll say 7 day free trial.
    You then fill out some details and away you go.

  • randomdude on 15/07/2021 - 19:59

    Has anyone been able to get an eSIM though the Optus App on Android? I just installed the app and can't find any option to get one

    • Associatedsingingwolf @ Optus Accessories on 15/07/2021 - 23:13

      You have the latest version?

        Version 7.0.1 on Pixel 4. Fresh install of app, followed that procedure and nothing. Checked all menu options, nothing. Used the app on my wife's iPhone 12, I can see the option.

        Do you need to register an Optus account first?

  • illumination on 09/08/2021 - 20:23

    Damn, not for ports

    • hashtagbargain on 11/08/2021 - 01:21

      It says you can contact customer care and they can organise the same deal for port ins.

      • lukethefish on 07/11/2021 - 17:31

        Webchat wouldn't let me do this quoting the terms and conditions.

  • Boomnam on 10/08/2021 - 13:44

    Do you have to setup a new account for this?.I can see that I'm getting charged $7. I have an optus account already (NBN).

  • hashtagbargain on 11/08/2021 - 01:29

    Just gave it a try and was easy as. Not even an existing optus customer.

    First time using the esim functionality on my phone, free for 7 days not bad at all!

    Cheers op.

    Also confirmed, you can cancel the plan within the app, no dramas. It didn’t charge anything to my card. Says line is active for 7 days as per sign up.

  • nosrad on 21/08/2021 - 19:33

    Are you able to download the eSIM immediately after you place the order? Every time I try to download the eSIM, it is showing an error on my Pixel 5.

    • ronnknee on 23/08/2021 - 14:26

      I get this too. Samsung S21 Ultra.

  • urahara on 12/09/2021 - 11:57

    Can somebody run through the process on Android

  • tids2k on 02/10/2021 - 13:01

    For anyone who does not have a compatible phone, but an android wear OS watch supporting esim.

    You need to know how adb works and installed on your PC.

    Download My Optus App from here :

    https://m.apkpure.com/my-optus/au.com.optus.selfservice

    One downloaded rename to Optus.apk

    then enable developers settings in watch, Enable USB debugging.

    and then Run :

    adb install optus.apk

    Working fine on my Galaxy Watch4 Classic LTE
