Sunshine Coast Daily: Optus rolls out new traveller deals
WhistleOut's Kenny McGilvary speaks to the Sunshine Coast Daily about what the introduction of the new Optus Roaming Pass might do for managing phone data while travelling overseas.
Telco comparison website WhistleOut's spokesman Kenny McGilvary said it was "good news for those Optus customers already on some of the bigger more expensive plans".
"It provides a safety net for those consumers to keep using data while abroad without having to worry too much about bill shock from international roaming charges once they've used up their plan's roaming data allocations," he said.
But Mr McGilvary said there was cheaper options for customers available in the market.
"When it comes to accessing data internationally it can often pay to get a local SIM covering the locations you're going to visit," he said.
"With a little research you'll often find deals that offer stacks of data and can also be the cheapest option, so we'd still recommend people check what's available in their chosen countries."
