Can I use my Optus phone while traveling internationally?

Asked 4 months ago
Yes, customers can use their Optus phones while traveling internationally, but there are a few important considerations to keep in mind. Optus offers international roaming services, which allow users to make calls, send messages, and use mobile data abroad. However, international roaming may come with additional charges, and it is essential for customers to check the specific rates and services available in the countries they plan to visit. Before traveling, it is advisable for users to enable international roaming on their mobile plans, as this feature may not be activated by default. Customers should also verify that their device is compatible with the networks in the country they are visiting, as some devices may have limitations based on local network technology. Notably, users can manage their roaming settings, view pricing details, and find information about coverage by visiting the Optus website. To avoid unexpected charges, customers can explore international roaming packs that provide a certain amount of data, calls, and texts for a fixed fee. Overall, with proper planning, using an Optus phone internationally can be a convenient experience.
