Included data usage per day within the offer is restricted to 5GB a day but in my eyes, this is more than you need especially when travelling abroad.
If the customer goes over their 5GB limit they will be charged another $5 for an additional 5GB to use that day.
Vodafone has had $5 day roaming for years and is available in more countries than Optus – Optus has 102 countries compared to Vodafone’s 107.
Vodafone also allows customers to use as much of their included plan data as they like while Optus restricts this to 5GB a day.
The Optus $5 a day roaming is available to customers on the Optus Choice plans.
Just in January 2023 alone there were more 300,000 active Optus customers that travelled overseas.
“Traveling overseas can be a life-changing experience and half the fun is sharing that experience with friends and family back at home, as well as being able to stay connected with your travel buddies in a foreign country,” says Optus’ Managing Director of Marketing & Revenue, Matt Williams.
“With Optus’ $5 a day Roaming, we have created our easiest and most convenient roaming product yet, which also comes at a great value price point.”
For those of you not on one of these new Plans, Optus does have some compelling alternatives such as
