What’s an International Day Pass?

Once enabled on your mobile service, an International Day Pass will activate the moment you use your phone outside of Australia. You’ll have access to the day pass until it restarts at midnight 12am Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).  

You only pay for the days you use your phone overseas. So once you’re back in Australia, you can leave your International Day Pass switched on and you won’t be charged.  

We’ll send you SMS alerts so you can keep track of your spending. We’ll let you know when you’ve used 50%, 85% and 100% of your included allowance. We’ll also send you SMS alerts for every $100 of pay-as-you-go roaming outside of your included allowance.  

SMS alerts are free of charge.  

Each day you activate an International Day Pass, you’ll have access to:  

• unlimited calls to standard international numbers  
• unlimited SMS to standard international numbers  
• 1GB of daily data.  

The following is not included in an International Day Pass and will be charged at standard pay-as-you-go rates:  

• MMS (multimedia and picture messages)  
• Video calls, including FaceTime  
• Third-party content charges  
• Calls to premium 190 numbers  
• Premium SMS 19 numbers  
• Satellite numbers  
• Operator-assisted calls.  

A day pass resets at midnight 12am Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).  

After you use your 1GB of daily data, you’ll receive an automatic top-up of 1GB that lasts 31 days for $10. This 1GB of data will sit in reserve for days you go over your daily data allowance until you’ve used it all.

You can activate an International Day Pass on your phone with My Telstra app.  

Make sure roaming is switched on in your mobile phone settings for your International Day Pass to work.    

Once the International Day Pass is active on your service, you can leave it switched on while you’re in Australia. You won’t be charged until the next time you use your phone outside of Australia.
