Optus and amaysim have partnered with AeroMobile to enable international in-flight roaming on select international flights.
Travelers can enjoy global connectivity while in the sky as AeroMobile extends its coverage to include a range of destinations.
Optus offers international roaming from AUD5 per day for unlimited talk and text and 5GB of data for postpaid customers.
amaysim's pricing ranges from AUD20 for Small Talk (100 mins, 100 texts) to AUD70 for The Epic (100 mins, 60 texts) with 9GB.
In-flight roaming is subject to availability with partner airlines - Asiana Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates and Lufthansa being some of them.
Vodafone offers in-flight roaming as part of its $5 roaming deal in partnership with AeroMobile, allowing customers to access their full plan inclusions overseas.
In terms of price plans, Optus offers a range of Choice Plus and Promo plans, while amaysim offers various prepaid plans, starting at AUD10 for its 7-day UNLIMITED 10GB Plan.
It’s important to note that the AeroMobile network utilizes satellites, so 4G or 5G speeds should not be expected.
Both Optus and amaysim's in-flight plans come as part of their international roaming packages.
Vodafone's in-flight offering is still considered one of the best available, as it allows customers access to their full plan while overseas.
