I just bought a 1 year Simonly plan from the Sydney airport. Nischu and Susmi helped us really well and explained the plan. I believe my stay in Australia is going to be very good with Telsim. Show reply

I recently bought a Telsim Esim card for the first time when I arrived in Australia, and I'm really happy with it. The network coverage has been reliable so far, and the internet speed is so good. Thankyou so much nischu and susmi for helping. I would definitely consider using Telsim again in the future. Show reply

I have been using Telsim whenever I come to Australia, and my experience has been consistently positive. The network coverage is reliable and I rarely face issues with connectivity. Thanks to nischu and susmi for helping me setup the simcard. Show reply

I do not get the critics. Best value for money – To be honest: because of the reviews here I was not sure if I should go with Telsim or not. And really, I dont get it. Everything works perfect, 140 GB for 25$, calling is free in AUS and other countries. It is a real bargain. If you dont want auto-recharge after 140GB, just turn it off in the app, its not that hard. After a month the SIM automatically expires. It does what it says. Show details

Don’t use - it’s a scam – Terrible - have tried to activate an eSIM. Days later I still not able to accesss the eSIM - no correspondence from them stating why. When I was able to make contact with them told me it was an error with details. Have requested a refund and now I have been ghosted. Have tried to contact them and they closed the chat DO NOT USE THEM!!! Show details

Telsim SIM is a solid budget choice with fast data and reliable coverage on the Telstra network. It’s great for everyday use, especially if you want good value for money. Show reply

The only reason for the 1 star is the courtesy of the call center staff however their inability to actually accomplish anything matters more. This has been the most frustrating experience and i will never use your company nor would i encourage anyone to do so . Just check the email thread associated with this account to see how many times we had… Read more

to repeat the process before you finally did your job. However I couldn’t wait 2 days for activation and was forced to utilize another company who immediately processed my eSIM request . I am expecting to see a refund on my CC for the US$ 15 paid to you for a service that I could not activate, despite complying with every single request you made MULITIPLE TIMES!!!! Never again.

After several weeks of n+1 effortless mails and chats my number was reactivated finally - Hallelujah! Sorry to say in the meantime I have already purchased another plan from another provider, who doesn't turn off the account after 4 months - as written as a "may be" at T&C - but after 365+90 days. I make no request for my money back but be sure I… Read more

Worked perfectly for me. paid $45 and got 45 gb. Data was enough for me for a month and most of the places, i got proper connection. on the other hand, my friends were struggling with connection outside of Sydney. Highly recommended. Show details ·  1

Telsim’s support team have worked hard to help me complete eSIM purchase and registration. There have been bumps, but an agent has always responded with helpful advice. Now have my eSIM ready to go when I land. Show details ·  1

I have used Telsim a year ago and again bought a new sim card from Perth airport this time. The agent Mahia was very patient and helpful. She also set up the international call minutes from the app and explained everything in detail. She was very clear with the communication. Fantastic service overall. I am genuinely very happy with the overall experience. I will highly recommend her service. Will buy again If I visit Australia in the future. Show details ·  1

Terrible service. The website chat support was useless and kept repeating the same responses without providing any real solution. Ticket support was just as bad. it took over two days and they asked for my photo ID more than four times. Only after I told them I would report the case to the ACCC and TIO did they finally start taking action. Very… Read more

disappointing experience. I will never use this service again.

UPDATE After several conversations, it became clear that they kept lying, and I am completely fed up with it.

I ordered a data sim January 8th 2026. I did not recieve the simcard for over a week. When i went to activate the service it sat on pending activation for multiple days before i contacted support. Support said their system stuffed up and they couldnt verify the details i gave them. Support then ran me around in circles trying to get me to email in… Read more

high res images of all of my various IDs. After explaining i would not be sending this via unsecured email and asked if there was a secure upload option anywhere i kept getting the same response. I asked for a cancellation and a refund and was told this isnt possible.

TL/DR: Wont activate your service and wont give you a refund. Steer clear.

Extremely difficult to set up with customer service. Took me hours to set up. I had to activate the eSIM with a QR code but because I was travelling with only my phone and no other device to capture the QR code with I had to finally go ask a total stranger to take a photo of the QR code and let me capture it from their phone. Total hassle. Telsim… Read more

insisted it was bc my iPhone11 wasn’t able to identify a QR code which is 100% wrong. When activating it looked like I might be charged twice so I specifically asked them to verify I wouldn’t be charged any further than the 28 days I was wanting for this eSIM and they didn’t bother to tell me to take of the auto-recharge option that I didn’t know existed. I got charged for a second month. The customer service rep just kept repeating themself saying I didn’t take off the auto recharge option and they couldn’t refund me bc it had already been charged. I had to finally have my complaint escalated in order to get a refund. All the hassle is not at all worth using Telsim. I spend probaly 5 hours of my life with customer service giving me completely unhelpful information just going in endless circles. On top of it all calls rarely went through even after the recording I would get every time saying I couldn’t make emergency calls had finished. The recorded message would stop and the phone wouldn’t ring almost ever for calling basic cell phone and land lines.
