Introduction
Whether you're backpacking through Europe, sipping coconuts in Bali, or road-tripping across the USA, staying connected is non-negotiable. But how do you avoid sky-high roaming fees? Easy—use an eSIM! Here are 7 must-know travel hacks to get the most out of your ZingoTel eSIM and travel smarter in 2025.
1. Get Your eSIM Before You Fly
Don’t wait until you land—activate your eSIM in Australia so you’re instantly connected the moment you arrive.
2. Choose the Right eSIM Plan for Your Trip
-
Short trip? Get a 7-day eSIM plan.
-
Multi-country travel? Grab a regional eSIM for seamless connectivity across borders.
3. Use WiFi Where Possible
Save data by using free WiFi in airports, hotels, and cafes. ZingoTel’s eSIM works alongside WiFi, so you can switch between them easily.
4. Monitor Your Data Usage
Track your data usage with ZingoTel’s eSIM app—no surprises, no extra charges.
5. Enable Data Roaming on Your Phone
Sounds weird, but you must turn on ‘Data Roaming’ for eSIMs to work. Don’t worry—ZingoTel eSIM doesn’t charge extra roaming fees!
6. Keep Your Australian SIM for Calls & SMS
ZingoTel’s eSIM lets you keep your Aussie SIM active for calls/texts, while using eSIM data for internet access.
7. Don’t Remove Your eSIM After Your Trip
ZingoTel’s eSIM can be reused—so for your next trip, you just reload a new plan instead of setting up a new eSIM.
