Melbourne eSIM FAQs

Will my data work when I land in Melbourne?

Yes. Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) has mobile signal. Install your eSIM before you fly, skip the airport SIM hunt, and you'll be online before baggage reclaim.

  1. When you land, switch the eSIM line on and turn data roaming on for it.
  2. Set it as your mobile data line.
  3. That's it. You're ready to explore Melbourne.

Which eSIM plan do I need for Melbourne?

Any of our Australia eSIM plans. They all cover Melbourne and the rest of the country with unlimited data, so one plan does the whole trip.

Can I tap on with my bank card in Melbourne?

Yes. Tap and go works at every myki-enabled train station and on every tram, with a bank card, phone or smartwatch. Use the same card or device for the whole trip.

Do I need a ticket for trams in the city centre?

Not inside the Free Tram Zone. It covers the CBD and Docklands, so trips that start and end inside it are free. Tap on as usual if you're heading beyond it.

Will I have signal on the City Loop?

Yes. Mobile coverage runs through the City Loop's tunnels and underground stations, so you can keep scrolling between stops.

Does it work outside Melbourne, like the Great Ocean Road or Phillip Island?

Yes. It's an Australia eSIM, so the same plan works wherever there's network signal across the country.

Which app should I use to get around Melbourne?

The PTV app. It shows live departures for trains, trams and buses, sends disruption alerts and plans your route.

Do your eSIM plans allow hotspot?

Yes. Share your data with your laptop or a travel buddy anywhere in Melbourne.
