Hi @GeordieGem82

Is your tariff PAYG, or pay monthly?

Is it an old tariff, Essential, or Smart plan?

Thanks

There's two parts to the answer here, but both depend on the questions posed above.

1: Enabling the roaming facility that allows your phone to connect to local networks in foreign countries

2: Choosing how you'll pay for using your phone abroad

@GeordieGem82 : As it is not in EU, if you are on contract, you may use your usual UK allowances there with up to 50 GB data per billing month if you have more, when you buy for £11.40 / month or have already as a Smart Benefit the Roam Abroad Pass or you have an EE Max Plan. Otherwise you will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/roaming-costs/countries/australia.

If you are on contract, remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure roaming is enabled on your account.
