Roaming whist in Australia

JB1070 — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:38:33 GMT

We are going to Australia for 7 weeks .

If I buy international roaming at £25 per month and additional data ie 5 Mb at £13.02 per month. Will the additional data work in Australia like my existing data allowance? Also if I cancel the addons mid month do I have to pay for the whole month.

Thanks for any advice.

@JB1070 You can use up to 50Gb per month when roaming this includes any extra data purchased. It’s a monthly add on so it’s still £25

@JB1070 when 3 of us went to Aus a few years ago, we bought a local sim at the airport when we arrived and set it up on a spare phone, used that as a hotspot for the other phones. so no roaming costs but internet and phone access when we needed it.

With eSim's and/or dual sim phones it will be even easier now.

Shouldn't the data add-on be 5GigaBytes for £13.02 pm?

You pay for the full month in which you cancel.
