Which countries in Oceania are covered?

The plan includes Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and other Pacific territories. The full list is available in the plan description.

Does the eSIM work in the Australian outback?

In coastal areas and the main Australian cities coverage is excellent. In the deep outback coverage is limited, as also happens with local SIMs. Along the main highways (Great Ocean Road, Stuart Highway) coverage is generally good.

Can I use 5G in Australia?

Yes, 5G is available in the main Australian cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. In New Zealand 5G is expanding in the main cities. In rural areas the connection is 4G/LTE.

How long is the journey from Italy to Oceania?

The flight from Italy to Sydney or Melbourne takes 20-24 hours with at least one stopover (Dubai, Singapore, Doha). For New Zealand the times are similar or slightly longer.

Do I need a visa for Australia?

Yes, Italian citizens need an eVisitor visa (subclass 651) to visit Australia, which is free and can be requested online. For New Zealand the NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) is required.

How much does an eSIM for Oceania cost?

eSIM plans for Oceania start from €4.99. You pay once for the amount of data you choose — no subscription, no monthly fees and no hidden roaming charges. Plans with more data or longer validity cost more.

Is an eSIM or roaming better in Oceania?

A local eSIM in Oceania is almost always much cheaper than the roaming of your Italian operator. In the European Union roaming is often already included ("Roam Like at Home"), but outside the EU the costs can be very high — with an eSIM you know the price in advance and pay only for the data plan you need.

Can I keep my Italian number with the eSIM in Oceania?

Yes. Your Italian SIM and number stay active — the travel eSIM works alongside it as a data-only line. You stay reachable on WhatsApp, iMessage or Wi-Fi while you use the local network to browse. Traditional calls and SMS still go through your Italian number.

Should I activate the eSIM before or after I leave?

Install the eSIM at home, on Wi-Fi, before you leave. The data plan then activates automatically when you connect in Oceania. That way you are online as soon as you arrive, without looking for airport Wi-Fi or buying a local SIM.

Can I top up or renew the plan for Oceania?

Yes. When the data runs out or the validity expires, just buy a new plan — the eSIM profile already installed is kept and does not need to be installed again. You stay connected without interruption.

Can I share the connection (hotspot) in Oceania?

Yes. You can share the connection in Oceania through a personal hotspot with a computer, tablet or other devices. Shared data is deducted from your plan, so allow a few extra gigabytes if you expect to use the hotspot often.

How many GB do I need for Oceania?

For a normal trip, 1–3 GB a week is enough for maps, messages and occasional browsing. With social media and photo sharing allow about 5 GB; for streaming, video calls or a hotspot count on 10 GB or more. If the volume is not enough, you can buy an additional plan at any time.

The Sydney Opera House, the fjords of New Zealand, the Great Barrier Reef, the unspoiled beaches of Fiji: Oceania is the trip of a lifetime for many Italians. The distances from Italy are enormous, which makes it even more important to be connected from the first moment: last-minute bookings, maps to find your way in vast territories and video calls to share breathtaking sunsets with those back home. With the Datiovunque eSIM for Oceania, a single plan covers Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands.

Why use an eSIM in Oceania

Oceania is on the other side of the world from Italy: roaming with an Italian SIM would cost astronomical sums. Buying local SIMs on arrival is possible, especially in Australia and New Zealand, but after a flight of 20+ hours the last thing you want to do is look for a phone shop at the airport. With Datiovunque, the eSIM is installed before departure and activates automatically on landing in Sydney, Auckland or Nadi. For those combining Australia and New Zealand, the classic 3-4 week trip, the regional plan avoids having to buy two separate SIMs. Also ideal for Australian road trips: Google Maps is essential for the enormous distances of the outback.

Which eSIM plan fits you best?

Going away for 1-2 weeks? Pick a plan with 3-5 GB for maps, photos and messages.

Business travellers

For video conferencing and email while travelling, we suggest at least 5 GB or an unlimited plan.

Backpackers

A longer trip is better served by 10+ GB, or by a regional plan that spans multiple countries.

Families

For families with several devices we recommend a plan with tethering support and enough data.
