Choose your desired plan and select the eSIM option when purchasing. However, before choosing an ALDI Mobile eSIM plan, check if your phone supports eSIM functionality first. Check out our updated eSIM-compatible phones list to confirm whether your phone allows digitally embedded SIMs. 

How to get an ALDI eSIM

Buying an ALDI eSIM is simple. All you have to do is: 

  1. Head to ALDI Mobile’s official website to browse through plans. 
  2. Create an account and enter any personal details (may include address, bank details, and identification documents)
  3. Choose the eSIM option during checkout for your desired plan. 
  4. Wait for the confirmation email containing further information on how to install your ALDI eSIM. 

How to activate your eSIM from ALDI via QR code 

Once your new eSIM activation order is processed, you’ll receive an email containing a QR code to install your eSIM profile. If you’re choosing a Family Plan, as a Family Plan owner, you’ll be able to select which services use eSIM. Each eSIM service will receive its own QR code. 

Connect to a stable WiFi network first to ensure a successful installation. Installing and activating your eSIM may look slightly different, depending on your phone:

  • Set up eSIM on iPhone: Go to Settings > Mobile Service  > Add eSIM > Use QR code. Then scan the QR code from your email and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
  • Set up eSIM on Samsung: Go to Device Settings > Connections > SIM Card Manager > Add Mobile Plan > Scan Carrier QR code. Scan the QR code from your email and follow the instructions to complete the setup. A similar process applies to all Android devices, though some steps may differ slightly.
  • Set up eSIM on Google Pixel: Go to Device Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network  > Download a SIM instead > choose to add via a QR code. Scan the QR code from your email and follow the instructions to complete the setup. 

Your eSIM may take a few minutes to activate. Once it does, ALDI eSIM will send you an SMS on your mobile phone to confirm. 

If you’re interested in having both a physical Australia SIM card and/or an eSIM on a dual SIM phone, you’ll have to purchase separate services for both. 

Switch from an ALDI physical SIM to an eSIM 

If you want to swap a physical SIM for an ALDI eSIM, your entire service will transfer, including number, plan, and credit. 

Once the switch is completed, your physical SIM will stop working permanently. Request a swap by contacting the ALDI team, and they’ll send you a QR code. Follow the process above to activate your eSIM.
