1424632	2016-08-17 22:41:00	My son's off to attend the NRL Grand Final in Aussie. What's the process to call/text back to NZ from his Vodafone Ultra phone and Account? Does he need buy packages, or sim card, or do nothing and just call? Wondering if anyone here has done so from Aussie lately, and with any tips. Thanks...	kahawai chaser (3545)

ID required for purchase. Passport OK or that. Last time it cost $29.95 and it gives plenty of phone minutes, data and texts. Doesn't matter if you use it all on one service, like say Data. It is a $ amount you purchase. Or, just check with Vodafone here on their roaming charges. Doesn't take much use to rack up $29.95 of roaming though. :banana Ken	kenj (9738)

So, as you say, just do nothing and call.	Roscoe (6288)
