Australia and New Zealand: Mobile Data for a Flexible Road Trip

Daniel and Grace consider another night in a New Zealand town over breakfast

Daniel and Grace are taking three weeks away from Ottawa to visit Daniel's sister in Melbourne and see more of Australia and New Zealand. They plan a few days of driving in Australia, then a flight to New Zealand and a separate rental car there. Some nights are booked; others are open.

They stop in a town in Australia and linger over lunch. The afternoon forecast looks wet, so Grace checks the opening hours of a local gallery they could visit instead of taking the walk they'd planned. Daniel's sister, who is travelling with them in her own car, decides to head home earlier. They agree on one last stop together before saying goodbye.

In New Zealand, they stop for breakfast in a small town and decide they'd like more time there. They haven't booked that night's accommodation, so they check the available rooms and reserve one. The next drive can wait until tomorrow.

Leave a little room in the itinerary

Australia and New Zealand are both included in iTalkBB's Asia-Pacific 12-region travel data plan. Daniel and Grace can prepare one regional option for the two-country holiday, using mobile data at stops where they have service to look up activities, check accommodation and message family.

They download maps before heading into remote areas and save the addresses they need. When they want to change an arrangement, they do it with the car parked, taking time to talk through the options.

With the room booked, they order another coffee rather than rushing back to the car. Tomorrow's drive is still on the plan. Today, they have time to enjoy the town that persuaded them to stay.
