For example, Optus Daily Roaming and Optus Roaming Pass are <strong>only accessible if you&#8217;re already on an eligible plan.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Standard Roaming is financially feasible for a 1-2 day trip, paying varying rates depending on your destination for 3 days or more will take a toll on your wallet. Finally, Optus&#8217; Prepaid Roaming packs are <strong>expensive<\/strong> when you compare them to eSIM services like Holafly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Plans <\/th><th>Validity<\/th><th>Data<\/th><th>Destinations<\/th><th>Price<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Optus Daily Roaming<\/strong><\/td><td>24 hours&nbsp;<\/td><td>5 GB<\/td><td>110+<\/td><td>$5 per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Optus Roaming Pass<\/strong><\/td><td>24 hours&nbsp;<\/td><td>1 GB&nbsp;<\/td><td>110+<\/td><td>$10 for 24 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Standard Roaming<\/strong><\/td><td>&#8211;<\/td><td>Pay per MB&nbsp;<\/td><td>170+<\/td><td>$1 per 1 MB&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Prepaid Roaming<\/strong><\/td><td>14 days<\/td><td>10 GB&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 countries&nbsp;<\/td><td>$20&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Holafly eSIMs<\/strong><\/td><td>1-90 days<\/td><td><strong>Unlimited&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>200+<\/strong><\/td><td>As little as $2 AUD per day<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Holafly eSIMs offer <strong>unlimited data in over 200 destinations<\/strong> at extremely affordable prices, making them a smarter alternative to roaming passes or prepaid packs.
