eSIM for Schoolies 2026 — Bali, Thailand and beyond

23 June 2026·Proost eSIM

Schoolies overseas? Sort your data before you go.

Schoolies 2026 is coming up fast. If you're heading to Bali, Thailand, or anywhere else overseas, you'll need mobile data — for navigation, keeping in touch with the group, and sharing every moment back home.

Telstra and Optus roaming will cost you $10–$15 per day. For a two-week Schoolies trip, that's $140–$210 on top of everything else. There's a much cheaper option.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your phone. You buy a data plan online, get a QR code by email, scan it, and you're connected to a local network at local prices. No physical SIM card, no trip to the phone shop, no roaming bill shock.

Bali for Schoolies

Bali is one of the most popular Schoolies destinations for Australians. Coverage in Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu and Uluwatu is excellent on 4G. A Proost Indonesia eSIM gives you reliable data throughout your trip.

Thailand for Schoolies

Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan are all popular with Australian school leavers. Thailand has great mobile coverage and an affordable local network.
