Yes I agree, current authentication methods don’t work and aren’t secure. If porting they should call your phone and ask for a verbal confirmation that you are wanting to leave your current provider before any number is released.
@Pingpong69 When I went from Telstra to their little brother Belong, Belong sent me an SMS code to my Telstra phone so that I had to input that code in the sign-up procedures otherwise the porting wouldn't happen.
They all should do that as a minimum.
Then there is the issue of what to do if you loose your mobile and want to port over to someone else.
I would like to be able to log into my account online, regardless of carrier, and activate a 'lock function' so no porting can ever happen unless I unlock it manually.

So in no way will esim make churning easier, if you’re in contract you will pay the fee to leave early.
@Pingpong69 Well it would in the respect that you wouldn't have to chase down a SIM before you can churn. Which then opens up the other questions, as in, will they also offer churns bonuses. Like how you can often get SIMs for half price etc for the first month.
Main thing I like about eSIM is if you loose your phone now they can pop it out and put it in another phone and use up all the credits etc. With eSIM they won't be able to do that If the phone is locked.
Off topic a bit, but responding to your comment, CBA are introducing Apple Pay as we speak..Should be available by the end of January to all CBA customers...
Previously worked with a Telstra Partner however I am not a Telstra Employee, just a fellow customer helping when I can.
Telstra get on board eSIM tehcnology..... +1 for demand here. Cant wait for this to happen and stop carrying a personal and work phone!
Thanks for the question @Eric_The_Red I can assure you that Telstra area aware that eSIM is in demand and working to roll this out in the future.
There is regrettably no avenue to register customer interest at this stage. Please do let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

I travel a lot and often have a second SIM in for the local area. Having an eSIM would also allow me to keep in Contact with my Business contacts in Aus. So please roll out the eSIM asap. Thanks

The wait for Esim from Telstra has taken too long!. With 2 Phone contracts and Home internet +Landline +Foxtel up this year, I will be taking my business else where if Telstra doesn't come good on it's promise to bring esim to the Aussie market.
@Pingpong69 So which Australian carrier has eSIM for the mobile that you are going to go to?
Telstra has recently enabled eSIM for windows pc devices so it does look like they are getting closer. There would be enormous amount of worked required at the back-end for it all to come together so unfortunately, people just have to wait.
Hey b1urrybird,
Nothing has been announced as yet in relation to being able to use the e-SIM. Once there is something announced then we will let all of our customers know through our media outlets.

Optus already rolling out e-sim. Come on, Telstra!
Hi @Cjsims3000
Initially eSIMs in smartphones are likely to be relevant in markets where different network capabilities encourage people to use multiple providers.
In the Australian market, eSIM will grow in importance as the device vendors start to offer the technology as standard and the carriers uniformly support the technology in their systems, making it easier to activate new services and introducing fully on line activation options when the situation allows.
We will introduce eSIM support for smartphones in the future as customer demand builds.

> carriers uniformly support the technology in their systems
What on earth are you on about? If optus has already taken the first step, then telstra is the one that needs to move to keep things "uniform". Or are you guys hoping that optus pull the plug on it?
Are you not aware that telstra's main competitor has already released this to market?
Thanks for the share frownface, looks like time to switch!
Seems like the only way to show demand is to use our feet! Unfortunately the 28,000 or so views of this thread don't seem to indicate any demand.
With direct debit there’s no need to give paying your bill another thought.
Avoid queuing up and never worry about late fees again.
