No service in Austalia
GrahamD_2857621 Not sure how much credit you put onto the account, but any data use would cost 10p per megabyte - that's £102.40 per Gigabyte and so could be swallowed up very quickly.
Data usage on your account will always be a bit behind, so you need to check it again - preferably via website.
If your phone is a relatively new model, consider an Esim from a company like Airalo (others also available) as this works out far, far cheaper.
I am aware of the cost of calls/data. When I try to use an alternative, set-up by by wifi, I try pay and my card provider wants to send a confirmation text to the phone number I cannot use.
I managed to pay for the Smarty add-on by PayPal.
I obtained a SIM from Coles, tried to set it up, it required an **Australian** credit/debit card.
My Smarty sprang to life a few days ago, some days after the add-on was purchased, whilst I was in the outback. Having returned to civilisation it no longer works. My Smarty tells me I have used 15p (i.e. 3 texts) of my add-on. Network selection shows 3 networks, none actually work.
