Questions and answers

How much does EE charge for data in Australia?

The table shows the cheapest official EE option for about 5 GB in a week, every EE data option for Australia, and the source with the date we checked it.

Is Australia included in EE plans?

Not in the standard plans of the EE price list we checked. In Australia you pay a pass, a daily charge or a price per MB.

Can I keep my EE number in Australia?

Yes. In Australia, keep the EE SIM for calls and texts and use the travel eSIM for data. Turn off data roaming on the EE line so it does not use data.

Where can I see all EE roaming charges?

On the EE roaming charges page, with every destination in the EE price list.
