It seems to be one of the only options for frugal travellers that need a decent allowance for a short trip, or a small package for extended trips to keep their service alive overseas (either your existing Australian number or a new number). Keep in mind you might need a supplementary local SIM, and if you run out early you can buy another add-on.
Thought I'd share as a standalone post because I had a great experience with this in NZ, and both their app and chat support are great. The catch is you should check if Vodafone partners with a good quality network in your destination country (I think this(airtel-vodafone.com) should be accurate) although Vodafone AU is supposed to roam on all 3 NZ networks.
We figure you won’t be roaming the world all year round, so we’ve made this a one-off purchase and not something that recurs. We’ve also excluded premium, video, special and overseas free phone numbers. We’ve picked countries we know are popular to roam to, but that means unfortunately you can’t use the add-on when roaming in countries outside the selected countries listed above, which may vary.
You can use our International Roaming pack in any of the countries mentioned in our selected countries list above, including data, call and text inclusions. Please keep in mind that while roaming in the overseas country, you can only call or text a number that is local to the country you are roaming in, or standard Australian numbers (no premium services).
