As Australian travelers, we're always on the lookout for the best roaming options that offer both convenience and cost-effectiveness.

The Cost of Connectivity: AussieRoam vs. Telstra and Optus:

When heading to Europe or the UK, Australian travellers typically lean towards familiar providers like Telstra and Optus, which offer International Day Passes at $5 or $10 per day. These passes include unlimited calls and texts but come with a data cap that often leads to excess charges—around $10 for each additional GB.


In contrast, AussieRoam presents a clear advantage with its eSIM plans. Priced affordably, our 30 Day Plan starts at just $10 in total and provides substantial data without the risk of unexpected overage charges. Charged in AUD, the cost transparency is unmatched, ensuring no surprise fees or painful exchange rate conversions.


Cost Analysis:

Consider a typical 30-day trip:

  • Telstra/Optus Cost: $10/day x 30 days = $300, plus potential excess data charges. For 3 GB of excess data, expect to add another $30, totalling $330.

  • AussieRoam eSIM Cost: A flat rate significantly lower than $330, with no additional fees. Our prices for 30 days start at just $10.


Why AussieRoam eSIM is a Game-Changer:

  • No Surprise Costs: With AussieRoam, what you see is what you get. Pay once, enjoy plenty of data, and forget about excess charges.

  • Charged in AUD: No need to worry about fluctuating exchange rates impacting your travel budget.

  • Ease of Use: Activation is simple and quick, allowing you to start using your phone as soon as you land without the need for physical SIM swaps.


Our customers frequently share stories of their travels, highlighting how AussieRoam's eSIM plans have eased the stress of staying connected abroad. From enjoying seamless navigation across the cobblestone streets of Rome to uploading photos by the Thames, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive.


For Australians travelling to Europe or the UK, AussieRoam’s eSIM offers a clear advantage over the traditional roaming packs provided by Telstra and Optus. Not only does it protect against unexpected costs, but it also simplifies your travel preparations. With AussieRoam, you can enjoy your travels without the looming worry of a hefty phone bill waiting back home.
