Travelling to Australia on PAYG

BBOK — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 12:57:22 GMT

Hello,

I'm struggling to find info on how much it'll cost to use data in Oz whilst I'm on a PAYG. It looks like my own data won't transfer over when I'm in Australia and I'll need to purchase some. Has anyone had to do this...how much and how....any help would be greatly received! Thanks

Hi @BBOK

Welcome to the EE Community.

Your UK data is only available for use in the UK. You can check the costs of using your phone at EE Roaming page

By default your data is blocked while abroad and will only work once you purchase a bundle.
You'll be offered the data bundles available only once you arrive at your destination country. They can only be purchased while in the country you are travelling to.

Thanks for your response, however when clicking the link and through other research methods I’ve never been able to find a definitive answer as to how much data bundles cost abroad on PAYG. Can you provide this info? It does not exist on the link you provided.

Outside the EU, you cannot use your usual UK allowances there but will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/australia > PAYG.

You see it says to buy data add-on when you land. You will receive a Welcome text offering you data from :
