      You need to go to their app and create an account, then login and redeem.

      Pretty easy as going thailand in 75 days so this is good for me.

      • Charlie Dont Surf on 22/10/2023 - 23:44

        1GB isn't a lot of data but sufficient for checking OzBargain, emails, and messaging!

        • localhost on 22/10/2023 - 23:53

          why emails and messaging?

          1 gbs is pretty sufficient for quick check and goggle map… unless planning to streaming porn while roaming

          • whyisave on 23/10/2023 - 09:45

            @thomalfa: Google Maps is quite data intensive.

            If you use offline maps (eg. there are some good ones,
            and even Google offline maps), then you need even less data.

            1GB during travels is fine for me,
            for a couple of weeks or so,
            just for checking Emails & chats.

            However, Google Maps has a lot of 'rich data',
            so it's also hard to live without Google Maps,
            eg. Google reviews, shops/restaurant opening times, etc.

              @whyisave: I use Google Maps a lot (almost local guide level 8) and my phone says google maps has used 706mb data since 1st July. I don't think it's super data heavy.

            • thomalfa on 24/10/2023 - 02:08

              @whyisave: For me it’s sufficient… obviously it’s a bit different for everyone

                +5

                @thomalfa: Try Organic Maps.
                Open-source, offline maps.
                Pretty good for hiking too.

                • thomalfa on 24/10/2023 - 23:35

                  @whyisave: Cheers

                  @whyisave: Is that for hiking only? The name says hike bike.
                  I need one for walking (as normal tourist)

                  • whyisave on 14/11/2023 - 22:09

                    @CyberMurning: It's not for hiking only.
                    They are fully open source maps,
                    with community-driven location points, etc.

                    You download the maps you want,
                    for the countries that you go to.

                    The routing is sometimes 'weird',
                    because it will just find you the quickest route,
                    even through small alleys or laneways or neglected roads.
                    In Europe (ie. Balkans) it was "fun" to say the least, haha

    I have created Referal code giveaway thread to share codes while Ozbargain sorts out the proper referral system.

    Adding a referral code in step (2) will get you another 1GB Travel eSIM. Do this referral code after you have already redeemed the deal code.

    • humbala on 23/10/2023 - 01:11

      And the mod take it down.

      I managed to grab yours and got another 1gb.

      So why is it not allow to have more code for people?

    Could not work out how to use the referral code :(.

    • Ridiculous Panda on 23/10/2023 - 06:55

      You can do it again with a referral code or if used a referral code the first time, then do it again and enter ‘TELUESIM’.

  • Shivan1403 on 23/10/2023 - 03:30

    The redeem button is in the Hot Feautes section on the front page of the app. Managed to get a referral and the generic code to work, have two 1gb sims now how good. You do not need to kyc

  • Vague on 23/10/2023 - 06:28
    +24

    For those who are confused:

    1. Install the Tel-U app and make an account.
    2. In the app, go to "Homepage" > "Redeem" > enter "TELUESIM"
    3. Get a redeem code from the OzB generator.
    4. In the app, go to "Homepage" > "Redeem" > enter the redeem code.
    5. Add your redeem code to the OzB generator by going Homepage > Invite friends button. There are two codes - a coupon code and a redeem code. Make sure you put the right one.

    Hope this helps.

  • pencilman on 23/10/2023 - 09:01

    For those having trouble getting the referral code to work for the second redemption, the code you are trying could be invalid (there are 2 codes given under the invite the friend link and only the redemption one works for this).

    So click on the referral link in Ozbargain and try another referral code.

      thank you added to the title!

    • illumination on 23/10/2023 - 18:47

      Nice spot..

      But.. anyone actually able to actually access the 30 international calling mins? Just tried it on my own, mum's and dad's phone. Same issue with all 3. It looks like the call is starting in the app, it then redirects to my phone's native dialer, and then the call immediately ends. All required permissions have been granted.

      • Pacoroma on 23/10/2023 - 20:28

        The call end immediately happened to me too. Try to repeat the call like 3-5 times as it works for me that way (Called to Thailand). Also it's voip service, So you need a good internet connection for it (Australia has a pretty good internet connection though).

        Ps. The calling minute starts counting immediately once the line is connected.

  • SmiTTy on 23/10/2023 - 12:01

    When does this expire? Not going anywhere in 6 months unfortunately but will be in 9… So don't want to redeem too early!

    • illumination on 23/10/2023 - 18:48

      If experience on Ozbargain is anything to go by, even if the expiry date was 31 Dec 2023, it doesn't mean it'll last until then.

      And it's even less likely when these things get posted on Ozbargain

      And it's even less likely when it's a non-Australian company (this company seems to be Taiwanese) that doesn't need to worry about adhering to consumer standards in Australia.

    My Eskimo data just ran out while in Indo, so this is great timing. You may need to manually set the APN details for the esim as per the app troubleshooting guide (APN and name set to 3gnet). Once I did this, data working and another 2GB to get me through. Cheers OP.

    Thought I'd share this tip here since no one's mentioned it yet:

    If you need more than 1GB, use a temporary email generator to register more accounts. Install the eSIMs. Once one eSIM runs out, deactivate it and more to the next… Rinse and repeat. Unsure how many eSIMs phones allow you to install but in theory it could work.

    Cheers!

    • BendBridge on 29/10/2023 - 09:25

      Or, just use the reference generator at the beginning of this post to generate a code for an additional 1GB.

      • OGRonnie on 29/10/2023 - 15:45

        Indeed, both work :)

    so is there any expiration or does it means every month forever?

    • illumination on 30/10/2023 - 17:13

      Even if it technically means forever, I typically would not assume something posted on Ozbargain is "forever", especially if it's free.

      It's more like, "in perpetuity" until they decide that it's not worth doing anymore

  • illumination on 30/10/2023 - 17:12

    Is this still working? I used up my first 1GB eSIM so thought, I'll just use another email to get another one

    Upon redeeming the code, it accepts it. But there's no "Activate eSIM" button and it shows "There is currently no inuse plan" on the "View data plan" screen where it's supposed to allow me to activate the eSIM.

    Same thing happens when I use a referral. Accepts it but nothing appears under View Data plan

        Because the Eskimo deal is still active, so I don’t think this is a good deal. Plus you get a referral bonus of 500gb plus the backlog of referrals from this page (I’ve got 11), on Eskimo.
