Smart Tips for Staying Connected While Traveling
Save on International Roaming Fees
To avoid unexpected charges while traveling, use Wi-Fi whenever available and turn off mobile data to steer clear of roaming fees. For even lower costs, consider purchasing a local SIM card and using free messaging apps like WhatsApp instead of traditional text messaging.
Telstra Mobile Customers: $10/Day International Roaming Pass
With Telstra’s $10/day International Roaming Pass, charges apply only on the days you make or receive calls, send SMS, or use data abroad (including background data). Receiving an SMS won’t activate the charge. Once you return to Australia, leave your Day Pass switched on without worry—you won’t incur any charges while you’re back home.
Optus Mobile Customers: $10/Day International Roaming Pass
Optus’s $10/day Roaming Pass functions similarly: you’re only charged on days when calls, SMS, or data are used overseas. Incoming SMS messages do not activate the charge. Back in Australia, keep the Day Pass switched on without any extra fees.
