Odd that they can't call you on another number?

Who would be the most legit and reliable source for an ESim?

There is no legal way of doing what you asking from NZ. Mobile telcos must check your ID (and residency or proof of Australian address) when you activate a mobile service in Aus, if they don't then the telco may face legal consequences. 

 

Your best bet is to get one next time you are in Aus. Otherwise try getting a voip number.

Use Hero VOIP and get an Aussie landline number

Oh I didnt realise that, thanks for informing me.

Sounds like a VOIP is the way to go.

 

Just out of interest, can VOIP be cheaper than using a mobile which is bvsed purely at home?

Im wondering if a NZ voip is better than a Mbbile plan at home. Can proper VOIP handsets handle dual VOIP numbers?

Hi there,

If by mobile number you mean in (4) area code, you can get such number from https://sonetel.com/en/

I have one myself to recieve sms, which are emailed to me. You also can forward all incoming calls to NZ number.
