I need a plan for my elderly mum that has unlimited international txts mainly to the UK and NZ we dont need any data just unlimited national calls and txts and unlimited intenational txts every plan i look at she has to pay extra ontop of her plan to send just 1 txt overseas. Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions
Hi Shaz, https://www.finder.com.au/best-mobile-plans-international-calling this page will be able to help you out. Dodo, amaysim and the long expiry plan for Coles Mobile are all good options as you get international call and text inclusions without having to pay extra on top of your plan fees. Hope this helps!
Why haven’t you included Amazon and Officeworks in your comparison lists? Thx
Hi Nuran, this specific comparison list is for mobile plans provided by telcos in Australia. Amazon and Officeworks don’t fit the category in this instance. Hope this helps!

My wife and I are planning a holiday to southern Africa – South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania with a little stop in Mauritius. We are in most countries for about 5 days. To keep in contact with home, do we need to purchase a pre-paid SIM card in each individual country? Or is there some way to spend more time touring and less time sourcing local SIM cards?
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for getting in touch!
You can buy two sim cards, a prepaid SIM card for South Africa (Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe) and a sim card for East Africa (Tanzania and Mauritius).
It would also be helpful to check your current courier and see if you can use your sim card in these countries or if they have partner telco’s in Africa for your convenience. Don’t forget to ask about roaming fees and charges for every minute of calls and number of texts for the duration of your trip.
Hope this helps and have a great trip!
Best,
Nikki
