Some of the JR Shinkansen passes are still excellent value. I visited the area between Tokyo and Osaka, but on the other side of Japan, the…

Add to the above list: Keepgo Travel are about 5 AUD per GB when buying their 25GB 80USD "Tucana Lifetime Prepaid Data eSIM". Can be used…

Thank you!

Thanks for your excellent review. Three more questions: * How thick are the additional boards? I'm thinking of storing them upright against…

I believe Qantas gives you an inch more of legroom compared to Jetstar, when flying in economy.

> Is this the best option for brisbane? For a direct flight, probably. Jetstar is often cheaper, but many avoid Jetstar for good reason. If…

For anyone looking for data eSIMs with long expiry, for data use in Australia, here are the ones I found: Eskimo are about 3 AUD per GB…

Ah, you want something yummy and not too unhealthy. As do we all! Here are a few ideas: * dried fruit, like dried apricots. * fresh celery,…

As "cookie" normally means something where the binder is sugar, you have to look in a different section of the store. There's a thing you…

Thank you!

Thank you! Excellent information! This post already has more information about eSIM adapters than all the other posts on OzBargain…

I don't remember that, but I do remember the early days. No such thing as data, and tiny phone displays, many of which had only 16…

I did see that one, and it looks a little confusing. You can use an Android app to download eSIMs. Optionally, if you purchase the "USB…

I was a little confused by the way you used "unlimited", so I checked, and I'll spell it out for anyone else reading. There are three…

Thanks! It appears that Eskimo have changed, and now always email a QR code. On the front page of their website, it says > Instant eSIM…

Thanks for the info! Annoying about Eskimo, as that's the eSIM provider I was hoping to use, as it looks to be the cheapest for long-expiry…

All of the eSIM adapters are less than 5 years old. No phone had eSIM 10 years ago. So youth isn't unexpected. If the company goes bust and…

> What happens if the app is buggy, or if 1 day it's just removed and the company folds? I always save my apps to SD card, using an app…

> Phones with esim aren't that expensive these days Phones with eSIM capability cost significantly more than $38! At $38, the savings from…

Edit: I've ordered the "Switch by Plan B" adapter. Nobody else has reported having it, so I'll be the guinea pig and try it out. I was…

Here's another cheap option, but only for people who can use eSIM, and have low data usage (which should be most of the people who were…

That Eskimo plan does look good, but as expiry is so long, most people will burn through the data before it expires. Do you know if Eskimo…

I have a rather non-conventional plan that may suit you, and it appears to be even cheaper than the introductory offers listed so far. I…

I've just read a bit more, and you're correct. Then the question becomes "in urban areas, does VF or Optus have better coverage". I haven't…

Yup, I edited my comment to add that, and must have submitted seconds before your reply. Optus and Vodafone now roam to each other, from…

For anyone still looking for a cheap mobile plan that isn't PAYG, I was recently reminded of this long-running deal:…

Thanks for that. I looked for the CIS for this plan, looking for the renewal cost, and it wasn't clear which CIS applied or whether the…

OP, are you after then cheapest introductory offers, or the cheapest long-term cost? Some OzBargainers switch plans every few months,…

I'm jealous. Wish I could just go down to the local shops and buy katsu sando, like you can in Japan. Hopefully it'll become a reality…

There is indeed a benefit, and some EVs already have gearboxes. Here's an article about it, from 2023:…
