Optus Flex E-sim.
Pay for the $1 daily plan - cancel 1h later.
The number is valid and works overseas for 6 months.

  Who are you with currently can't you just use them? Main carriers if you're on them you can roam and recieve SMS for free (even telstra) as long as you dont send sms, recieve or make calls and use data.

I've decided to get a half price Telstra sim and use wifi calling/SMS over there

I think this threads gives me some options to look at .. similar requirements I just posted on whirlpool

What would be the best plan for the following?

don't care about data or outgoing calls

need roaming (incoming texts)

No charges for local call forwarding

ideally on Telstra network for service during long drives

cheaper the better

I am thinking "tangerine" – but there is not much on the website about roaming and call forwarding.
