How to buy an eSIM from SimPig
Pick a country, pick a plan, pay with your email, install it at home, switch it on when you land. Every step, what it costs, and what happens if something goes wrong.

Before you buy
You need a phone that takes an eSIM and is not locked to your carrier. Dial *#06#: if an EID number shows, you have an eSIM. Your Australian SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts; we only do the data.
Buying, step by step
It takes about two minutes. No app, no account, no subscription.
- Pick where you are going. Search for the country on the shop. Going to several? Add every stop on the multi-stop page and we find one plan that covers them all, or the cheapest combination.
- Pick a plan. Choose the data and the days; “Our pick” is the one most people want. Prices are in Australian dollars and that price is the whole price.
- Type your email and pay. Payment happens on Stripe’s secure page. The eSIM is tied to that email, and an account is made for it only when you want one.
- Install it straight away. The next screen is the install: one tap on an iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later, a QR code everywhere else. The same details arrive by email in case you close the tab.
- Land and switch it on. Turn on the SimPig line and its Data Roaming. The plan’s days start when it first connects there, not when you buy or install.
Buying for someone else, or with mates
Buying for someone? Use their email at the checkout and the eSIM goes to them, or copy the pay link from the checkout and send it. AI assistants can start an order with the person’s email and hand them the pay link; nobody shares a password.
Travelling with mates? Tick “mates link” at the checkout and send the link to the group. Everyone who buys from it for the same trip within the window pays less, and you never pay more than the price you saw.
After you land
Your eSIMs live at simpig.com/me: data left, days left, top-ups. Sign in with the email you paid with. If you bought before you had a password, we email you a 6-digit code to set one.
Running low? A top-up adds data to the same eSIM in two taps, nothing to reinstall. We nudge you before you run out, because we would like to sell you more.
If something goes wrong
Nearly every “no internet” on landing is Data Roaming switched off on the SimPig line. If it still will not connect, email us while the plan is valid and a human looks at it, usually within minutes. If we cannot make it work through no fault of yours, we fix it or refund you. eSIMs are digital and final once delivered, so check your phone before you buy; the terms have the details.
Questions
Do I need an account to buy?
No. Pay with your email and the eSIM is sent there. An account for that email is there when you want to see your eSIMs or top up.
When should I buy?
Any time before you go. The plan starts when it first connects abroad, so buying weeks early costs you nothing.
Is the price in Australian dollars?
Yes. One payment, in AUD, with nothing added at the checkout and no automatic top-ups.
Can I buy for someone else?
Yes. Use their email at the checkout, or copy the pay link and send it to them.
