You just do it online. In the Wi-Fi the airport offers. I did just that with Ubigi. Far more convenient.



Just pick a random cellular provider, visit their website, and that’s it? Do they have the cheap pay as you go plans available? Honestly don’t know - we’ve always gone to the local Tesco and asked the sales clerk for a sim on whatever service works best in whatever town we’re in.


Pretty much.

For example, if you were coming to visit me in Australia, you could get an Optus eSim for the days you are here: https://www.optus.com.au/prepaid/esim

Annoyingly, its not yet perfect. Vodafone for example can do prepaid, but requires the prepaid physical SIM to be activated first then transferred: a Vodafone store can do it of course, but that's a pain.

I imagine this will get better as time goes on, though.

Woolworths can do pure online eSim only prepaid: https://mobile.woolworths.com.au/mobile-phone/esim
