My wife recently came back from a global jaunt with our first daughter.
MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper to buy a local pore-paid sim. MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! Don't even think about using your Telstra/Optus/Virgin/insert rip off merchant SIM. The charges are exorbitant to put it mildly. We did active Virgin roaming before she left, JUST IN CASE, and even the Virgin rep WARNED us, told us to turn off all apps etc etc etc.
In the end she didn't use the foreign sims once - just used Skype and Viber at free wifi spots.
