Yes, 100%. Buying a physical "prepaid" SIM at Sydney (SYD) or Melbourne (MEL) airport requires you to find the kiosk (Optus, Vodafone), wait in a long line, and go through a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly, so you are connected the moment you land.
