Optus has changed its international roaming offer for postpaid and prepaid customers, making more destinations available in Zone 1.  

From today, 23 destinations have moved from Zone 2 to Zone 1. These destinations include:

  • Afghanistan
  • Anguilla
  • Antigua and Barbuda
  • Aruba
  • Barbados
  • Bermuda
  • Bonaire
  • British Virgin Islands
  • Cayman Islands
  • Cook Islands
  • Curacao
  • Dominica
  • Dominican Republic
  • Grenada
  • Haiti
  • Jamaica
  • Monserrat
  • New Caledonia
  • St Kitts and Nevis
  • St Lucia
  • St Vincent and the Grenadines
  • Trinidad and Tobago
  • Turks and Caicos

This brings the total number of Zone 1 destinations (including in-flight roaming) to over 150 locales. 

Zone 1 destinations are eligible for use with Optus' Daily Roaming add-on which allows postpaid customers to add 5GB with a 24-hour expiry for use overseas for $5 a day. 

Previously, to access the internet in these destinations you would have had to find WiFi, get a local SIM or, travel eSIM as an alternative.
