Boost Does Not Have International Roaming

Hi all,

I am planning to travel overseas and realised that boost do not have international roaming.

The website says they would launch something early 2022.

Any alternates to stay on boost but able to use the number overseas? I am mainly looking for OTPs.

Thanks

Telstra has VoLTE and Wifi calling that works overseas.

    Works via vowifi - as long as your phone has an internet connection, calls and sms will go through wifi.

      Do password authenticator apps work on wifi too? Secondly, do we need to do anything different to activate vowifi on phone?

Thanks for the notice. I use Boost because it had international roaming. Just learnt that they scrapped it in October last year: https://www.zdnet.com/article/boost-mobile-australia-kills-o…
Back to ALDI/amaysim I guess…

Enable Wifi calling (connect to Wifi) and you can receive sms & calls.
