Which countries does the Oceania plan cover?
This plan covers: Australia, Guam, Indonesia, New Zealand and the Philippines. RORO's regional bundles are built from the current network-partner footprint, so double-check the live plan page before booking if your itinerary includes a country near the edge of this list.
Do I need to switch SIMs or settings when I cross a border within Oceania?
No. Your eSIM automatically connects to a local network in each covered country — nothing to swap, re-scan or reconfigure. Your data allowance is shared across the whole plan, useful for a combined Australia–New Zealand or wider Pacific-islands itinerary.
Should I get a physical SIM or eSIM for Oceania?
eSIM is usually the better pick for Oceania if your phone supports it. Quick check: dial *#06# on your phone — if an EID number shows up, you're eSIM-ready, so install before you fly and skip the airport SIM counter. No EID? Go with RORO's physical SIM instead — same network, same top-up flow.
Note: a carrier-locked phone can't use RORO's eSIM or physical SIM either — it needs to be unlocked first. Full supported-device list is on our eSIM Compatibility Check page.
How do I purchase RORO's eSIM or physical SIM for Oceania?
Head to the Oceania plan page on the RORO site or app, choose eSIM or physical SIM, pick a data plan, then check out with a card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay — no ID or local address needed. eSIM orders email you a QR code to install right away; physical SIM orders ship to your address, or can be collected at pickup points where available.
How good is network coverage across Oceania?
Strong 4G/5G in Australian and New Zealand cities; smaller Pacific island nations on this plan may have lighter, 4G-only coverage concentrated around main towns.
Which RORO data plan should I choose for a Oceania trip?
It depends on how many countries you're visiting and for how long. Light use across a short multi-country trip — a small fixed-GB plan is usually enough.
Longer trips or heavy streaming/hotspot use call for a bigger tier or an Unlimited plan. Since it's the same eSIM, you can always top up mid-trip.
Can I use my RORO Oceania plan if I travel outside these countries?
No — this bundle only covers the countries listed above. If your trip extends beyond them, buy a separate country plan for the extra stop, pick a different regional bundle that covers it, or choose one of RORO's Global plans for broader coverage. You can run more than one RORO eSIM/physical SIM at once if needed.
What's the difference between RORO's Fixed and Unlimited data plans?
Fixed plans give you a set amount of GB for your whole trip — a small pack is usually enough for maps, messaging and light browsing, and you can always top up if you run low. Unlimited plans are priced by day instead of data volume, but include 3GB of high-speed data per 24 hours (counted from activation and resetting every 24 hours) plus a 500MB/24-hour hotspot-sharing allowance — better if you stream or video call within those limits.
A single eSIM or physical SIM can hold multiple data plans, but only one is active at a time, in the order they expire — plans don't run side by side on the same SIM.
If you want an Unlimited plan but worry about hitting its 3GB high-speed cap, buy a separate Fixed plan on a second RORO eSIM: with both installed, switch to the Fixed-plan SIM once Unlimited's daily high-speed data runs out, then switch back after it resets. And if you plan to hotspot data to other devices or friends, a Fixed plan is the better pick, since Unlimited plans cap hotspot sharing at 500MB every 24 hours.
Do I need to show ID or a local address to buy a RORO eSIM for Oceania?
No. RORO can be bought and activated with just an email address — no passport copy or local address required, even though no local ID or address is required for RORO — unlike some prepaid SIMs in the region.
When does the validity period start for a Oceania plan?
Validity starts when you first connect to a network in any covered country — not the purchase date. The eSIM stays valid to activate for 180 days, so it's safe to buy well ahead of your trip.
Does my RORO eSIM or physical SIM expire?
Yes, but only after 2 years of no activity. A RORO eSIM or physical SIM doesn't expire the moment a data plan runs out or its validity period ends — it stays in your phone, ready to top up for your next trip.
Every time you top up with a new data plan, that 2-year countdown resets, so if you travel with RORO regularly the SIM effectively never expires. Only go 2 full years without a single top-up and the SIM itself expires.
What happens if I run out of data in Oceania — how do I top up?
Open the RORO app or site, pick another data pack for the Oceania plan, and it's added straight to your existing eSIM — no new QR code, no reinstalling. Top up before you hit zero, since you'll need WiFi to buy more once your data runs out.
To top up: pick a data plan and hit Top Up, then enter the ICCID and PIN of the SIM you're adding it to — or start from your ICCID, choose which one to top up, then pick the plan. Either way, once payment goes through, the new data plan is added straight to that ICCID.
Can I keep my home number active while using RORO in Oceania?
Yes. RORO is a second, data-only line that runs alongside your existing SIM. Most modern phones support two active lines (physical + eSIM, or dual eSIM), so you keep your home number for calls and texts while RORO handles data, with no data roaming charges from your home carrier.
Does the Oceania plan support hotspot / tethering?
Yes. Fixed data-by-GB plans allow full hotspot sharing across your whole allowance. Unlimited plans include hotspot sharing up to a daily cap (check the specific plan's terms) before speed steps down for the rest of that day.
What payment methods are accepted?
RORO accepts Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay. No ID is required for card or wallet checkout.
Anything specific to know about Oceania?
Coverage is strongest in Australia and New Zealand on this plan; if your trip includes smaller Pacific island nations, expect lighter coverage concentrated around main towns.
