I would like to receive text messages in Australia (from my uk bank). I have enabled roaming in my online account. Do I need to set my cap above zero?

Thanks.

    Hi ​@agw,

     

    Thanks for getting in touch.

     

    Yes, if you're travelling to Australia and would like to receive text messages, we'd recommend increasing your bill cap above £0.00.

     

    It costs £0.42 per text, and you can read more about it here: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-support/international-and-roaming-charges
