SIMBA Australia roaming

Can SIMBA be used in Australia?

Yes, you can use SIMBA roaming in Australia as part of its Group A international roaming destinations. 

This means you can stay connected through local 4G/5G partner networks like Telstra and Optus without needing to buy a separate SIM card for Australia.

As long as your data roaming settings are enabled and your plan includes Australia roaming, your SIMBA connection should work seamlessly across the country.

How much is SIMBA roaming in Australia?

SIMBA provides prepaid and postpaid roaming plans for Australia, with fixed pricing in Singapore dollars (SGD). If you exceed your plan’s roaming allowance, additional data usage will be charged at pay-per-use rates.

To prevent overpaying or running out of data mid-trip, it’s a good idea to estimate your travel data needs with a data usage calculator and choose a plan that fits accordingly.
