Activating International Roaming
You must register for international roaming via "Your Account" before going overseas. At the time of registration a roaming deposit of maximum $120 will be charged to activate the service (this means your existing deposit will be increased to $120 to get international roaming kicked off).
Please note whenever your roaming deposit drops below $50, TPG will automatically top up the amount to $120. It is important you understand that we will restore your deposit whenever the value reaches $50.
The unused deposit minus $20 (kept as mobile deposit) will be refunded 3 months after you have notified us of your return from overseas. This is to ensure we have received all of your call records from overseas carriers.

#Plus your plan's SMS rate for the type of SMS you are sending (national or international).
