Unlimited Data/UK Calls+Texts Available Via UK 3 Network UK Address Required

At the outset I'd like to clarify this is only an option if you have access to a uk address either through friends/relatives/freight forwarding service.

Three uk announced this week their new feel at home tariff policy which allows all their tariff minutes, texts and data to be used in 7 countries including Australia for free. This got heated to over 4000 degrees on hotukdeals ( http://m.hotukdeals.com/deals/three-like-home-free-roaming-a… )

There is no reason why Australians who can get hold of a three sim shouldn't be able to get unlimited data and calls to uk numbers from Australia. There is a pay as you go option, with unlimited data for £15 a month.

You would need to order either a prepaid, or if you can pass a uk credit check (which is possible for many uk expats living here), a contract sim to a uk address and have it forwarded to Australia by someone. The inclusive calls and texts would be to uk numbers, Australian numbers would cost.

Apologies if people feel this is a waste of time due to not bejng directly available here. Are there any Australian tariffs with truly unlimited data?

    It’s designed for trips away rather than living abroad, so if you take advantage of Feel At Home but don’t use your phone in the UK at all for three months in a 12 month period, you won’t be able to use your phone abroad anymore.

    and

    You can’t use your phone to tether while you’re abroad.

    I usually pick up a three SIM when in the UK so I have cheap data whilst I'm on hols. As I have dual SIM phone I guess I can keep it active and in the handset when I get back home and get unlimited data for the remainder of the month. Nice!
