Using your starter pack with eSIM activation

What works with eSIM activation

Plan vouchers

All ALDI Mobile plan vouchers can be used with eSIM activation:

  • Plan vouchers included in starter packs or purchased separately at checkout
  • Simply enter the voucher code during your eSIM activation process

PAYG credit vouchers

Standalone PAYG credit vouchers purchased at checkout can be used with eSIM activation:

  • Enter the PAYG voucher code during your eSIM setup ($15, $25, $35)
  • The credit will be applied to your new eSIM service

What doesn't work with eSIM activation

PAYG credit in older starter packs

The base $5 credit included within a physical $5 PAYG SIM starter pack:

  • Cannot be transferred to an eSIM activation
  • Is bonded to the physical SIM card
  • Requires the activation code (only used in physical SIM activation flows)
  • Can only be accessed by activating the physical SIM card

If you've already purchased a starter pack

If you have a starter pack but want to use eSIM instead:

  • Our new $2 SIM Starter Pack isn't needed for an eSIM activation so you can keep this for a rainy day or give to someone who needs a new connection with a physical SIM 
  • You can use any plan voucher included in the starter pack for your eSIM activation
  • The physical SIM and its base PAYG credit remain separate so you won't be able to access $5 credits from the discontinued $5 PAYG starter pack, unless you choose not to go with eSIM and instead activate this physical SIM 
  • You can keep the physical SIM for future use as a different service if you choose to activate an eSIM instead

Remember that each activation (eSIM or physical SIM) creates a separate service with its own phone number. Plan voucher codes can only be used once, regardless of whether you apply them to an eSIM or physical SIM activation.
