Hi Cheapies πŸ‘‹

We've had quite a few requests for China lately, so we've refreshed our China range and brought back our multi-buy discounts at the same time!

We've also included our Vietnam MobiFone + Viettel plans in this promo. Eligible China and Vietnam eSIMs can be mixed and matched in the same cart to reach the higher discount tiers.

Other BambooSIM plans can still be added to the same order, but only the eligible China and Vietnam plans count towards the quantity discount.

A few of the calling plans include some useful extras:

  • 10-day: 100 mins on-net + 100 on-net SMS
  • 15-day calling: on-net calls under 10 mins up to 1,000 mins + 100 off-net mins + 50 on-net SMS

  • 30-day calling: on-net calls under 10 mins up to 1,000 mins + 100 off-net mins

On-net means calls/texts to other MobiFone customers, while off-net means other Vietnamese networks.

If calling is important, we'd generally recommend choosing one of the plans with an off-net allowance.


πŸ‡»πŸ‡³ Vietnam – Viettel

For anyone who prefers Viettel, we also have 5GB/day plans for 7, 15 and 30 days.

Validity Regular Price 40% off 45% off 50% off

30 days $52.71 $31.63 $28.99 $26.36

These are data-only plans and don't include a phone number.

πŸ‡»πŸ‡³ Important for Viettel: these eSIMs need to be activated within 30 days of the purchase date.

For this promo we've made our delayed delivery feature free. Just select delayed delivery during checkout and choose a date shortly before your trip, and we'll send the eSIM on that date instead.


A few notes
  • All prices above are in NZD
  • NZD prices may move slightly with exchange rates
  • The quantity discount is based on the total number of eligible eSIMs in your order
  • China and Vietnam plans can be mixed and matched to reach the 2–3 or 4+ tiers
  • Other BambooSIM products can be purchased in the same order but won't count towards the discount quantity
  • An eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone is required
  • We recommend installing before departure where possible
  • Our support team is available if you run into any setup issues

The main reason for this deal was the China requests we've been getting, so hopefully the expanded Mainland China and China/Hong Kong/Macau options are useful πŸ™‚

As always, happy to answer questions in the comments or check whether a particular phone/model is compatible before you order.

Code: VNCNC50

  • Anything available for USA?

  • Whats the best sim approach for France, Ireland and UK (Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland, England).
    For 42 days. Seperate sims?

    • Hi Bob,

      Yes - unfortunately the current plans we have for Europe only go up to 30 days as they're pre-defined by the supplier, so you'd need to grab two to cover the full journey. Just a heads up that you'd be looking for the "Single-use eSIM Bravo" plan on our Europe page, as the regular plan (without Bravo) doesn't include France: https://bamboosim.com/en/travel-esims/europe

      We hope to have a range of new plans available with longer validity periods before the end of the year, so hopefully this'll be much easier in future.

  • Thanks for that. I’m looking at buying 4 Europe Bravo 20gig and 4 UK 60gigs.

    Any chance for a 40-50% off on these. Happy to buy today. For a trip Dec/Jan

    • Hi Bob! I've managed to get approval for you - please use these two links for a tiered discount of up to 50%:

      Europe Bravo: https://bamboosim.com/en/travel-esims/europe?discount=EEB404…
      UK: https://bamboosim.com/en/travel-esims/united-kingdom?discoun…

      You can purchase today as the eSIMs will still be valid for a December/January trip, however, we'd suggest holding onto the QR codes and not installing the eSIMs until the day before you depart as the UK eSIM telco has enabled global activation (which means that while the plan is only valid for the UK, it will automatically start the timer as soon as it's installed from anywhere in the world).

      Let me know if there's anything else you need!

      • Legend, Thanks. order placed. Really appreciate this..

        Thanks for the hint, will load the uk sims once I reach the UK. (Eurpoe is first)

        • No worries at all Bob, happy to help! Enjoy your trip

  • Hi, About to head to Europe, Any chance of a 40-50% deal on two Europe eSim’s, single-use( data only) eSim/30 days/50GB?about to go a Europe trip. Thank you, regards Jonathan

    • Hey JonoNZ,

      We should have an offer live on Cheapies again soon, but in the meantime as you'll be travelling very soon, we can offer 45% off 2+ Europe eSIMs (30 Days / 50GB) with code AGGQAAKN at the checkout.

      Just a gentle reminder to double check the list of included countries before you purchase; the main call-outs are that Single-use excludes France, and Single-use Bravo excludes the Netherlands, but the full list of destinations can be found on the product page. We've made the code valid for both products, just in case: https://bamboosim.com/en/travel-esims/europe?discount=AGGQAA… - the discount will automatically appear in the cart when 2 or more eSIMs are added.

      • Legends, thank you!!

        • Happy to help - enjoy your trip!

  • Why would someone buy this over a Singtel "hi! Tourist Plan" eSIM?

    • Hi Kiwi!

      May I know which destination(s) you're referring to? This would help us provide a more tailored response as each plan differs on inclusions, and there's a number of reasons people choose BambooSIM over other options.

      • Hey, HK/CN in this case, but just curious as to what the benefits are when it's more expensive with less inclusions than the Singtel product.

        • Thanks for sharing! For China and Hong Kong, customers often choose us for a few reasons:

          • We don't require KYC or physical presence in Singapore to activate the eSIM. The product you mentioned may require identity verification, including a passport photo and a selfie or video.
          • 24/7 Australian-based support - we're here to help if you run into trouble. We've heard reports of customers encountering Singapore activation or store-visit requirements, as well as heavy throttling while roaming, with the product you mentioned (YMMV).
          • Our China + Hong Kong + Macau bundle includes your selected allowance (e.g. 50GB) at full speed, with no throttling within that allowance. After that, you can continue using data at 128kbps for the remainder of the plan's validity. It is a very slow buffer, but it can help with basic tasks such as messaging or purchasing another eSIM. This is particularly useful in mainland China, where local Wi-Fi connections are subject to Great Firewall restrictions that can limit access to familiar apps and websites.

          We're continuing to expand our range, improve our technology and sharpen our pricing wherever we can. Large telcos have considerably more purchasing power, so we know we won't always be the absolute cheapest option. Our focus is on combining competitive pricing with clear product information, straightforward activation and dependable support.

          We appreciate the feedback and hope you'll give us a try sometime!

          • @BambooSIM: Thanks for clarifying, still feel that double the data (or 20x in some cases) for ~10% less cost is a better deal for me, but will consider your deals in the future.

            • @Kiwi: You're very welcome, and we appreciate the transparent feedback. We have a lot of new products in the pipeline which we hope to share with Cheapies over the coming months with new numbers and offerings, so definitely watch this space!
