Yeah, this is the other reason I won't put a VPN on my parents' phone. VPNs to access foreign content are technically illegal in China. If…

Cheers for the extra info. I'm visiting my folks on Wednesday... taking the day off so I have more time to inspect their mobile phones…

Cheers render, ocular and Bunwy. That's interesting that some have no issues over international roaming and others do. I'm confident it's…

I probably should have said 'local sim's mobile data' i.e. a sim card bought in China. But your point on whether roaming using lical mibile…

Cheers bud. I wish my folks were more tech savvy with VPNs but I fear it might cause more issues than it solves. I've bought them a G54 and…

I'll do you one better... already bought mum and dad a new Moto G54 and a TravelKon travel esim where Google services are confirmed to work…

Thanks for the reply with those experiences. Regarding your mate who was on Optus roaming, could I confirm that's without the need to use a…

Thank you for your experience. Interesting to hear 3-4 months ago things were still OK with Felix mobile and Telstra too. Just confirming…

So from your experience it's blocked over international roaming too and not just local wifi or local mobile data?

I'm mainly looking for experiences from after Oct 2023... my folks were in China in Oct 2023 as well and Amaysim roaming worked almost…

Do we need to provide a credit or debit card when signing up?

Just wondering if anyone has found that Google services are now blocked over international roaming with your Aussie mobile provider when in…

Thanks Anton! Good timing... my folks will be heading to China at least once in the next 180 days.

Cheers! Seems they've gotten rid of the clause that states that to be considered a new customer to qualify for the bonus points, one must…

And you got the bonus points without issues?

Isn't it a 12 month period of not holding a Virgin Money credit card before you can get bonus points again? Seems too good to be true if I…

Hmmm, this might be a good option to cycle to next for me. I cancelled my last Virgin Flyer card in Jan just over 4 months ago so my…

Same... if I had started looking for Fold 5s a month earlier, I would have jumped on that deal and saved myself $1k. But the Fold 5 was my…

Hi there, for the 180 day China eSim... https://www.travelkon.com.au/product/china-esim-15gb-data-only-180-days/ when it says ""Must be…

Decided to check against GoG... they're not even on sale! https://www.gog.com/en/game/heretic_hexen_collection

Has anyone tried using bpay to pay off a property loan in order to meet the $8k spend requirement?

I just learnt that my bank has a means to use bpay to pay directly into our house loan. Just wondering if anyone has successfully used such…

We are long overdue for a new gaming genre to be created followed by a myriad of clones. The fps, rts and fighting game days were glorious.

Cheers bud! Yeah, the folks over at WP said the same thing to call them up. I thought they may have at least been able to have the chat…

Does anyone know if Exetel do service relocations and how much it costs? Tried looking online but cannot find anything. Messaged them…

DENTAL PLAN!

Been curious to see what these are like so bought two. Will also see what these Kmart Bamboo ones are all about.

Yeah, there's a dual physical sim and a physical sim + esim version of this phone depending on region. We have the one with esim here if…

Cheers. Initially it sounded like dual physical nano sim slots.

No esim... no use. I'll wait for the next $149 discount or better.
