Tangerine and More launch eSIM for mobile broadband plans

Last updated 16 August 2024

Tangerine and More have recently enabled eSIM on their mobile broadband plans.

This brings the number of providers offering eSIM on data-only plans to a total of seven alongside Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, amaysim and Lebara.

Data-only SIMs are typically used with tablets to enable internet connectivity while out and about and not connected to WiFi. An eSIM or embedded SIM is one that is built into the device without the need to purchase and insert a physical SIM. The main benefits of eSIM are being able to get set up quickly on WiFi, especially while travelling overseas.

The latest generation of iPad Pro and iPad Air, for example, were released earlier this year with no SIM slot.
