Am I able to use my Pennytel mobile service overseas?

International roaming is enabled by default. We offer a Roaming Day Pack that is available to use in 57 countries. From the 22nd August 2023, once you arrive in an eligible country you will receive an sms notification advising in order to use your mobile service overseas you will need to opt-in via SMS to activate an International Roaming pack.  You will need to send the word ROAM as an sms to 179

If you are worried about roaming charges or think you will be using your mobile service a lot whilst overseas, we recommend that you purchase a pre-paid SIM card from a local provider in your destination country. Make sure to turn your phone off before swapping to a local SIM card.  

Helpful tip – If you would like to call home from overseas, remember to include the country code before entering the phone number. For example, 0422 222 222 will be +61422 222 222
