School holidays are here. Is your phone ready for take-off?
2026-09-18 10:25 am
Passports? Check. Bags packed? Almost. Someone asking whether there'll be Wi-Fi at the hotel? Inevitably.
If you're heading overseas these spring school holidays, there's one more thing worth sorting before take-off: Along with checking your passport, travel insurance and accommodation details, it's worth planning how you'll stay connected while you're away.
If you're an existing Tangerine mobile customer, an International Travel Pack is a simple add-on that lets you use your current mobile service in eligible overseas destinations. Whether you're navigating a new city, messaging family back home or keeping everyone entertained during some serious airport downtime, it's one less thing to worry about before you fly.
Stay connected without swapping your SIM
Travelling overseas comes with enough admin already.
With anan InternationalTravel Pack, you can use your existing Tangerine mobile service in more than 60 eligible overseas destinations, without needing to buy and swap to a local SIM when you arrive.*
Tangerine currently offers two Travel Pack options:
7 Day Travel Pack – $35*
Includes 5GB of data, 30 standard voice call minutes and 30 standard SMS for 7 days.
14 Day Travel Pack – $55*
Includes 10GB of data, 60 standard voice call minutes and 60 standard SMS for 14 days.
That means you can keep using your phone for the things that make travelling a whole lot easier, checking Google Maps when nobody can agree which way the hotel is, sending photos home, looking up restaurant bookings or messaging your travel crew when someone inevitably wanders off.

Travel Tip 💡
Flying overnight?
You can organise your International Travel Pack before you leave Australia and choose the day you'd like it to activate.
For example, if you're flying to London on Sunday and landing on Monday, you can set your Travel Pack to start on Monday so it's ready to go when you arrive.
That means less scrambling at the airport and more time getting on with your holiday.
Important: If you choose to activate your Travel Pack "Today", you'll be able to use it immediately. However, the validity period begins at 12:00am (Australian Eastern Time) the following day. Any unused data, SMS or call inclusions will be forfeited when the pack expires.
You can find full instructions on adding and using a Travel Pack in our International Roaming Travel Packs FAQ here
Ready for take-off?
The spring school holidays are for making memories, not hunting around an airport for a SIM card.
Before you zip up the suitcase and start the inevitable debate about who gets the window seat, take a few minutes to get your mobile sorted too.
If you're already a Tangerine mobile customer, adding an International Travel Pack add-on to your service only takes a few minutes and can help you stay connected from the moment you land.
Check your destination, choose the Travel Pack that suits your trip and get ready to enjoy a refreshingly simple travel experience.
Happy travels!
