Europe travel tips
- Check the plan's country list covers every stop on your trip. The UK, Switzerland and Turkey are the usual gaps.
- One regional plan almost always beats buying separate country eSIMs if you're crossing borders.
- The EU's "roam like at home" rules don't apply to Australian SIMs, so your telco's daily roaming charge applies in every country.
