International mobile roaming allows your mobile device to use an overseas carriers’ network while traveling abroad. Your usage of an overseas carriers’ network will usually incur significantly higher charges compared to using your mobile device in Australia and will be charged in excess of your included value.

International Roaming can added or removed by contacting our Live Chat team or calling 131 789 from within Australia and +61 3 86772307 if you are overseas.

Alternatives to International Roaming
If you do not wish to use international roaming, you can still stay in contact by:
- Using Wi-Fi.
- Using a prepaid SIM card or a ‘travel pack’ with a set value.
- Using a local SIM card from your destination, after unlocking your device (details on how to unlock your device are provided below).
Avoiding Bill Shock
In order to avoid “bill shock” after traveling overseas, you should consider disabling 3G/4G internet access (mobile data) on your device as many apps will continue to use mobile data automatically.
When traveling overseas, be mindful when answering any incoming calls (and taking voice mail) because you will incur the charges, not the caller. If preferred, set your call diversion/barring to block all incoming calls and deactivate voice mail.
Spend Management Tools
iPrimus provides spend management tools in relation to international mobile roaming charges. You can contact us to obtain your current usage though there may be significant delays in receiving usage data whilst overseas.
You may wish to familiarise yourself with the Maximum Charge Information for calls, SMS and mobile data usage within the country you are visiting.
