Meet Emily, an enthusiastic traveller from Sydney, who recently experienced the pitfalls of international roaming with Optus during her adventure in Thailand. An avid TikTok user, Emily found herself quickly surpassing the 5GB daily data limit imposed by her Optus international data plan, which costs $5 per day. This resulted in substantial overage charges that took a toll on her travel budget.
The Optus Experience
Emily's excitement for her Thailand trip was dampened by the daily stress of monitoring her data usage. "I was constantly worried about going over the limit. It felt like I couldn't truly enjoy sharing my moments on TikTok without the fear of racking up huge bills," Emily shared. Her ordeal peaked when she returned home to a bill laden with unexpected extra charges due to exceeding the 5GB daily limit multiple times throughout her trip.
A Better Alternative
In contrast, AussieRoam offers a Thailand 10GB/30 days plan for just $37, with no daily data limits. This plan would have allowed Emily to freely use her data for social media, navigation, and staying connected with loved ones without the anxiety of hitting a cap or incurring extra fees.
