Skinny Mobile Logo

Great news, Skinny Overseas Roaming Add-Ons are available in Australia!

So, let's see how the value stack up against Flexiroam X.

Skinny Mobile - $10 NZD (3 Day Roam Pack) Vs Flexiroam (3 Day Local Data Plan)

Skinny Mobile - Roam Pack500MB3 Days$6.70100 min100

Flexiroam Australia500MB3 Days$3.85OutgoingN/A


Flexiroam X is much cheaper for data when travelling to Australia.

If you are travelling with a companion or with family or in a group, Flexiroam has the advantage of enabling you to gift data to other Flexiroam users. You can obtain better value buying a larger Data Plan and sharing it amongst your travel group.

At the moment, it is unlikely anyone would be travelling across the ditch for just 3 days. Even though most travellers just want datas, Skinny has the convenience of included calls & texts.

For a tru comparison, tt is more appropriate to compare Skinny's (7 Day Roam Data Pack)

eSIM: Justifying your next Phone Upgrade

Justifying your next Phone Upgrade Forget the upgraded camera, the eSIM is the innovation in the new phones that will allow you to justify upgrading your phone. What is an eSIM? An eSIM is an  'embedded'  SIM module that is built-in to a device giving the user ability to download & add new mobile plans over the air, without having to physically purchase a SIM Card or need to fiddle around with paperclips and opening your SIM tray. Like other dual SIM handsets an eSIM provides you with the ability to run in dual SIM mode meaning you can keep your home SIM Card safely inside your phone whilst you are overseas.  This avoids you having to swap out and potenitally lose or damage your home SIM and keeps your  number active  for use in an emergency. Flexiroam X eSIM for more affordable data. eSIM is enabled on the following models: iPhone XR iPhone XS iPhone XS Max iPhone 11 iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Max iPad Pro 3rd Gen (12.9 inch, WiFi+Cellular) iPad Pro 3rd Gen (12.9 inch, 1T

Flexiroam X: Outbound Calling

Flexiroam X: Voice Calling Feature We have solved the main problem faced by many travellers - expensive data roaming. The vast majority of our customers have told us:  "We don't   need   call minutes when travelling - we just want more data!"

This means they will actually answer yo

Voicemail Roaming

International Voicemail Roaming can ruin your holiday! If you have ever used voicemail while abroad, you will know how costly and difficult it can be to retrieve your messages while you're away. If you don't turn off conditional call forwarding and your phone is turned on whilst you are overseas, and you receive a call that you don't answer, your phone will divert the call back to Australia as an International roaming call call. If you then call in and listen to the voicemail, you will also be charged for a international roaming call. If you then return this call, you will be charged again at International Roaming rates. Given the above, it is easy to see why so many traveller's rack up enormous overseas roaming bills without even realising it. You can avoid these charges whilst overseas by enabling 'permanent call forwarding' before you leave. Whilst in this state, all calls to your number will automatically divert straight to voicemail instead of ringing. This
