Travelling for 6 months - Australia, Thaliand, Bal...

Coral2 · ‎08-06-2024

Hi,

I'm looking to go travelling for around 6 months exploring Bali, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries close by.

Currently have a long-term sim contract with o2 - what is the best solution here? Whilst travelling, do the travel bolt on options work well if planning to just use data to connect e.g. texting / calling via whatsapp and using my current sim. Or is it best to get a new sim in each local country and get a pay as you go contract in each place.

Want to be well prepared ahead of my travels - any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Some places may benefit from a local sim, due to cost, which you can usually get from Amazon before you travel or in supermarkets when there.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

You need to look for a sim only contract which offers you O2 Travel Inclusive. You can find that in the shop
