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
Repeatedly asked for assistance. Did everything asked of me. Paid everything. No connection 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

I had a great experience with Susmi. The service was professional, friendly, and efficient. Everything was handled smoothly, and I really appreciated the attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Susmi for their excellent service. Show reply
I had a great experience with Susmi! She helped me choose a 1-year SIM card that works perfectly everywhere, which made everything so much easier. Her customer service was excellent. she was friendly, patient, and very helpful throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Susmi to everyone, especially people from Italy or anyone who needs a reliable SIM card and great support. Truly a wonderful experience! 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

Great deal on an eSIM $15 for 80GB, coverage was fine as they use Telstra network. The problem was getting the SIM activated. I took the advice literally that you had to be in Australia to activate it. In hindsight I should have done this before I left home. The link had expired by the time I arrived in Australia. I requested a new one on the… Read more
morning after I arrived and got the email at the close of business. Did the whole process and got the green tick, so far so good. Telsim requested I send a screen shot of the verification which I did. Then I got an email requesting a copy of my passport. I sent it off and another screenshot of the completed verification. Then I waited another day. They requested another copy of my passport. I sent a copy again with a terse comment that this was effectively the 3rd time I had provided the information. After two and half days I was connected. If I contrast and compare this with a European SIM I bought a year ago, that took about 45 mins to get sent up and registered.
great experience. been using the sim card for a while and pretty much happy with the coverage and data. customer service was super easy. Sunidhi helped me with my sim replacement quickly. Show reply
I recently purchased this SIM card from Susmi from sydney airport and had a really positive experience. The SIM card itself works very well, with reliable coverage and fast connectivity. What stood out the most, though, was the customer service. The support team was friendly, responsive, and very helpful in answering my questions and getting everything set up smoothly. Overall, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend it to others. Show reply

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

Got a great SIM card plan for my stay in Australia. They have really good student and working holiday plans. Very budget friendly and pretty fair amount of data for the price. Show reply
very helpful, fixed my simcard. pretty good coverage. I have been using it for more than a year now and i will continue using it. Great for international students. Show reply
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.
