What home carriers charge for roaming in 2026
We read the roaming prices of eleven home carriers on their own websites on 15 October 2026. The daily charges ran from A$5 to CA$18, and they fall on every day you use your phone abroad.
Why a daily charge adds up
A daily charge looks small, but a two-week trip pays it fourteen times. A travel eSIM is paid once for the whole trip.
Keeping your number
You do not have to give up your home line. Keep it on for calls and texts with data roaming off, and use the eSIM for data.
Carrier by carrier
Our roaming pages list each carrier's published price with the date we read it, and a calculator for the length of your trip.
