    International Roaming Day Pass will be automatically enabled on all Upfront Mobile & Data Plans. Once it's enabled, International Roaming Day Pass automatically activates as soon as you use your phone in an eligible destination outside Australia. Each country is allocated to a zone and usage is charge-based.
