Roaming FAQs

How much does it cost to roam overseas?

Cost depends on which zone your destination falls into. Search your country above, or check the rate table for exact Zone 1 and Zone 2 pricing.

How do I activate roaming?

On a 5G plan, turn on daily roaming in your E.Tel online account, or call us. On a 4G plan, call us a few days before you travel so we can activate pay as you go roaming for you. You'll need direct debit set up on your account, since charges can take a few days to come through.

What's the difference between Zone 1 and Zone 2?

Zone 1 covers most popular destinations, including the UK, USA, New Zealand and most of Europe and Asia, at lower rates. Zone 2 rates are much higher, and we can't switch roaming on for Zone 2 destinations, so a Travel eSIM is the better option there. If roaming is already on, keep data roaming off in a Zone 2 country.
