There's enough to organise before going overseas, so sorting roaming day-to-day might be the best option for you.
Just switch your phone data on when you arrive and you'll get a text asking you whether you'd like to start roaming for $7 a day.
Reply YES and you'll be good to go. Your 24 hours of roaming will start the next time you make or receive a call, send a text or use mobile data. Roaming charges will appear on your next monthly bill.
If you know you'll want to roam whenever you head overseas, then you can switch on auto daily roaming.
Just sign in to your account through the Contact mobile app or website and head to the SIM Settings section to turn on auto daily roaming.
When you get to your destination, turn your mobile data on and you will get a text through confirming you have purchased 24 hours of roaming.
If you're super organised you can buy a daily roaming add-on before you head off on your trip.
Head to the Contact mobile app and then grab yourself a daily roaming add-on from the Products section.
When you get to your destination and switch on your mobile data, you'll get a text letting you know you are up and running.
For $7 per day, you can use the calls, texts and data included in your plan when roaming in the following countries.
