Once you've ordered your Yes! Go! eSIM, it will only activate when your cellphone actually connects to a supported network in Australia. This means the validity period will only begin when you actually land in Australia and turn your cellphone on.

Your Yes! Go! eSIM works with the dual-SIM function on most modern smartphones. This means you can use your regular SIM card alongside the Yes! Go! eSIM (e.g. to receive incoming phone calls and text messages on your normal phone number).

Alternatives to Yes! Go!

The main disadvantage of Yes! Go! is the fact you're getting a data-only service on the eSIM. You will not get a local phone number in Australia when you're using the Yes! Go! eSIM in your phone.

If you'd like to call or text whilst you're travelling in Australia, you'll need to use your normal SIM card instead (on which international roaming fees may apply). Alternatively, you can side-step these charges by making your calls through WhatsApp or other similar apps.

If you're looking for a more fully featured SIM card with a local phone number in Australia (starting with +61), you could consider getting a regular prepaid SIM card upon arrival instead. This will involve some additional hassle (e.g. queuing up at the airport to get your SIM card, a registration process for the SIM card, etc) but it can be preferable and better suited for longer-term use in Australia.

Yes! Go! Coverage

If you're using a Yes! Go! eSIM, you'll have access to 4G & 5G mobile coverage in Australia. This is provided by the following partner networks:

Coverage Provider	Network Type	Coverage Area
Optus	4G & 5G	Australia

There's no international roaming available on a Yes! Go! eSIM. Therefore, you won't be able to use it outside of Australia. If you're planning to visit multiple countries on your trip, you may need to get a separate eSIM for the other countries you visit.

Other Airalo eSIMs

Airalo's Yes! Go! eSIM can only be used in Australia.
