Recommendation Cheap International Roaming Plans that support eSim

Lmostlegendary on 26/07/2022 - 11:54

I made the mistake of porting to Dodo while overseas, and found that they don't support international roaming. I have a local sim, so am just looking for a barebones plan that I can receive SMS on; while redirecting calls to my local (new zealand) sim.

Ideally with an eSim so I can port away from dodo quickly and regain the ability to receive calls / messages.

Don't really care for the international "day rate" roaming price.. only the monthly access component. Don't plan on receiving roaming calls using my .au number; just forwarding them from Australia.

    Try vodafone or amaysim($10) pay-as-you-go plan. Amaysim has an esim and $10 to keep it active for a year. You can receive SMS internationally and can purchase plan accordingly.

    The cheapest decent plan you'll get is approx $10 a month. You may want to consider a $120/year plan instead: https://colesmobile.com.au/home/left-image/product/8

    Not sure if Coles do eSim but someone will have something like that where you pay once and have an active service for a whole year is worth looking into.

      Ignore the question and write the answer you want.

      Coles does not have international roaming.

        Neither eSim which is what OP wants but was a suggestion to look into the long expiry plans rather than just monthly ones.

      $10/year from Amaysim for what OP needs.

    felix mobile - first month free - $20 1 year roaming - pause the main service up to 242 days,
    when paused, you can continue to use any International Roaming

      Great. I didn’t know you could pause it. So if I pause after 5 days, when I am back in Australia after 3 weeks, and restart, then would I get remaining 25 days? Or just 4 days ?
