Network and coverage
Your eSIM roams on whichever eligible local network gives the best signal: Optus, Telstra. Some plans include 5G where the network offers it.
Why Kokio for Australia
Kokio asks for no ID at all: you sign in with a passkey, and we never collect your name or email.
Kokio plans connect by roaming, so there is no local SIM to register.
Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or crypto (USDC, USDT or DAI from a Kokio Wallet on Base, or other coins via MoonPay). The plan price is the same whichever way you pay, because Kokio covers the payment processing fees.
Tips for Australia
- Your eSIM can use Optus or Telstra. 5G comes through Optus; Telstra is 3G and 4G on these plans.
- Going on to New Zealand? The Oceania plans in the app cover Australia and New Zealand on one eSIM.
- Long drives between cities? Unlimited plans run for 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 or 30 days, so maps and music won't eat a fixed allowance.
Setup
- Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi. It installs once only.
- Land at Sydney (SYD) or Melbourne (MEL).
- iPhone: Settings → Mobile Service → choose the Kokio line for mobile data, with data roaming on.
- Not connecting? Toggle Airplane Mode, then pick a network manually.
