Holiday in Australia - looking at Roam Abroad & Travel Data Pass 1 month SIMs

Hi,

Just checking best way to do this.

Spending a month in Australia & planning to buy 1 month SIM card to take advantage of 'Roam Abroad' coverage in Australia.

Am I right in thinking this will be limited to 15GB of data even if I choose a bigger data package on SIM? Will I be able to buy daily 'Travel Data Passes' after my 15GB runs out? 

Finally, How soon do I have to activate SIM card etc after I receive it? I'm trying to time it as best as I can before leaving.

Thanks in advance all.

Thanks.

Swap it from what I've got now (a monthly Plusnet SIM with 30GB data for a tenner a month). In a perfect world I'd time it so EE card started the day I left on holiday but looks like I'll have to start it earlier than I need it?

@Rookie66  have you got a spare phone, or is your phone a dual sim?

When I went to Aus a few years ago with two others, we bought a pay as you go/pre paid sim when we arrived, used the spare phone as a hotspot and just connected our phones to the hotspot.

All nice and simple, and no complicating our UK phones/contracts.
