SimBuddy Weekly Snapshot — 06 September 2026

G'day! Welcome to SimBuddy's Weekly Snapshot for the week ending 6 September 2026.

This week, our catalogue is live with 148 pageviews and 8 clicks across domestic mobile plans and travel eSIMs. We're in the early days of traffic ramping up, so these numbers will grow — but here's what's on the radar right now.

This week's editor's picks

• Telstra — Upfront 40GB — $49/mo, 40GB. Compare on SimBuddy
• Telstra — Upfront 180GB — $65/mo, 180GB. Compare on SimBuddy
• Optus — Choice Plus 60GB — $49/mo, 60GB. Compare on SimBuddy

What's trending

Based on our latest catalogue, the Optus Choice Plus 360GB plan at $79/month is drawing steady interest — it's built for data-hungry users and sits at solid value per gigabyte. Budget hunters are also eyeing the E.Tel 60GB at $20/month (running on the Optus network), and those after peace of mind are checking out the More Telecom Unlimited plan on Telstra's network.

Early indicators suggest Australian shoppers are focused on domestic plans this week, with 3 travel eSIM picks recorded — not quite enough volume to highlight a specific destination yet, but we're keeping tabs as traffic builds.

Coming next week

As more Australians start their weekend browsing, we'll gather real click and filter data across destinations and merchants. Next week's snapshot should tell a richer story about which providers and travel eSIM hotspots are genuinely resonating — so check back soon.

Cheers,
The SimBuddy team
