Telstra Prepaid ESIM Now Working

Munki Kundi on 04/11/2021 - 00:12

You need to register for a Telstra account and be logged into your MyTelstra app.

In the app, ensure you're logged in with your Telstra ID and connected to Wi-Fi.

Then go to the 'Services' tab and select your mobile number. Scroll down and select 'Transfer or restore eSIM' and follow the steps on screen.

I am Absolutely elated with this. I decided to share it because I have been religiously trying to get an eSIM ever since I got my new phone and Telstra kept saying they've migrated to a new system and Esim on prepaid is unavailable. Tonight it worked!

Enjoy!

Kind regards

    Yes, they started this (I think) about a month ago. Still waiting on eSIM for their upfront plans though

      Have you visited a Telstra store? They may get it done for you.

        Upfront (not post-paid) plans don’t have eSIM.

          Some got it by visiting store. Confirmed on Whirlpool.

    Wonder if or when Boost will start providing E-Sim service.

    • hawkeye93 on 04/11/2021 - 13:21

      Woolies Mobile will probably beat them as e-sim is coming in 2 weeks, according to a rep on Whirlpool.

        I'm not waiting for it right now.. but will be useful in the future

    Is this any indication they might support Apple Watch?

  • hawkeye93 on 04/11/2021 - 13:20

    It's been there for at least a month but the app was so buggy to let me transfer to e-sim. Had to visit a store and staff got it done in few minutes.

    is it possible to get the same number for esim and sim?
    I need the same number to use on the phone (sim) and watch (esim)

      No, once the eSIM is activated, the physical sim will be no signals, SOS only. You don’t need a sim on watch (my iWatch doesn’t need a sim card, just pay $5 monthly to Telstra to activate it)

    I think that facility may not be available on prepaid. Still worth a phone enquiry as that appears do-able

    Easiest way to get e-sim transfer: visit a Telstra store. All plans have e-sim now. Mine are prepaid and Upfront plan.
