Questions and answers

Is roaming included with au?

Not in the standard plans of the au price list we checked. Abroad you pay a pass or a daily charge, shown in the table above.

Can I use a travel eSIM with my au number?

Yes. Keep your au SIM for calls and texts and use the travel eSIM for data. Your phone needs to support eSIM and be unlocked.

Do I pay au anything when I use a travel eSIM?

Not for data, as long as data roaming is off on your au line. Calls and texts on your au number are charged as in its price list.

What if I forget to turn off roaming on au?

Then your au SIM can use data abroad at the au rates for that destination. Turn off data roaming for that line before you land.
