Vodafone Australia recently announced that it is waiving the $5 per day roaming fee for Red and SIM only customers travelling to New Zealand for the next 10 months until the 1st of December 2016. Vodafone's $5 Roaming plan allows customers to use their existing mobile plan in over 50 selected countries. With the new offer, Vodafone customers on the said plans will not be paying any roaming charges when travelling to New Zealand.
As one of Australia’s closest neighbours, New Zealand attracts more than a million travellers across the Tasman every year*, and more than 600,000 New Zealand born residents now live in Australia.
According to Vodafone, the $5 Roaming plan has been used more than three million times and customers have consumed more than 462 million megabytes of data while roaming since the start of 2014.

Two years ago, we took the industry’s first steps to help end widespread confusion and bill shocksurrounding international roaming with the introduction of a new standard: $5 Roaming. Today, we’re taking another big leap forward to change the industry because we believe that roaming matters.
