The best travel SIM and plan providers

SIM Corner

SIM Corner has won Canstar’s award for Travel Phone plans several times previously, and has made its return to the top of the pack thanks to its strong performance across several categories. It was rated highest for network coverage, value for money and sign up and activation, and it also scored consistently well for service management and customer service.

SIM Corner is an Australian-owned travel plan provider, offering a range of prepaid travel SIM packs, with both physical SIM cards and eSIM available. Travel packs include destinations in Europe, the US, Asia, the UK, South America, New Zealand and more, with different inclusions and expiry dates available.

Telstra

Telstra offers its travel plans in the form of international roaming add-ons for existing Telstra customers. This means you’re able to keep your Telstra SIM in your phone (and still have access to your Australian phone number) and add on a Day Pass. Inclusions, prices and eligible destinations vary between the plans.

Airalo

Airalo is an eSIM provider, offering a range of travel packs that can be used in a select country or region, or a global travel pack if you’re visiting multiple regions and countries. Most of these packs are offered as data-only: however if you want call or text inclusions, you’ll need a global pack.

Vodafone

Vodafone’s $5-per-day roaming has been a standout offer for several years now. Rather than offering a roaming SIM or add-on packs, Vodafone customers on eligible plans can pay $5 per day of roaming to access their phone plan’s inclusions while overseas. While access to some inclusions (such as unlimited capped-speed data) are excluded, it offers a convenient way to use your phone plan when travelling.

Gosim

Gosim offers a range of prepaid travel plans to bundle with its international physical SIM card, which comes with an included phone number. Plans are available as data-only or with call inclusions; you can essentially build your ideal plan and even add extra data.

Optus

Optus offers a $5-per-day roaming add-on to eligible customers. Unlike Vodafone’s offering that allows access to your plan's existing call, text and data allowances, Optus’ version comes with its own set of inclusions available to use in eligible destinations.

Everyday Mobile

Everyday Mobile (formerly Woolworths Mobile) offers international roaming as an add-on to an existing phone plan. There are several roaming add-ons to choose from, with varying prices, inclusions and expiry periods to use in select countries, and some packs are offered as data-only.

WorldSIM

WorldSIM offers a range of options to suit your travel plan needs, including data-only plans. While you can choose to get a physical SIM card shipped to you, you can opt to go eSIM for quicker access.
