International roaming

Hello. I’m on the new Mobile Small Plan, travelling to the US shortly. For a 10day holiday, the roaming charge will be $100 based on $10 per day (+ SMSs etc) and I keep below 200Mb/d. Is that my least expensive option? Thanks

Data allowance sudden increase

My data allowance suddenly went from 20gb to 70gb. No warning as to why. Just a text message saying now I had 70gb.I am still under contract until November 2019.

What's going on Telstra? Have I been moved onto a new plan?
