My Holafly experience in Australia and Tasmania

I used Holafly during a three-month trip to Australia and Tasmania, and the coverage was fantastic for the places I travelled. On a long trip, being able to get online without constantly hunting for WiFi made life so much easier.

The biggest thing for me was unlimited data. With an iPhone or another smartphone, so much of everyday life depends on being connected, especially when your photos and videos are backing up to the cloud. I don’t want to spend my trip worrying about how much data I’m using or putting my phone into Low Data Mode to make an allowance last.

I want to use my phone, stay in touch and let my cloud backups happen without counting every gigabyte. That peace of mind is why I really like Holafly. In my experience, it just worked, and I didn’t have surprise data charges from my Holafly plan.

That’s my experience on this trip, rather than a promise of signal everywhere. Mobile coverage depends on the local network and where you are, particularly in remote areas.

Why unlimited data matters when I travel

When you’re away for months rather than a weekend, all those everyday things add up: photos, videos, maps, messaging and staying in touch with home. I’d much rather choose an unlimited-data plan than keep checking a data counter.

If that sounds like you, check that you select an unlimited option when you buy. Holafly also sells plans with fixed data allowances. For cloud uploads or sharing a connection with other devices, check your chosen plan’s hotspot allowance and any fair-use or speed conditions before purchasing.

The 1GB backup data I found useful on airport layovers

Another feature I’ve found really helpful is Holafly’s Always On backup data. When I’m transiting through an airport in another country, I’ve been able to stay connected even though I haven’t bought a separate SIM for that country. That’s brilliant for keeping in touch between flights.

Always On provides 1GB of backup mobile data every 30 days in supported destinations. Keep your eligible Holafly eSIM installed; unused backup data does not roll over. This is mobile internet, rather than “offline data”, and it’s a limited backup allowance rather than unlimited layover data.

Check your transit country, eligibility and setup instructions in Holafly’s current Always On guide before relying on it during a connection.

Holafly discount code: your questions answered

What is my Holafly discount code?

My code is TheGirlOnABike. Use it at checkout for 5% off. You can copy it directly from this page.

Does the code work on travel eSIMs and monthly plans?

Yes, my code gives you a discount across purchases on the Holafly website, including destination eSIMs and monthly plans. Check the applied saving before completing your purchase.

What if the discount code isn’t working?

Check that you’ve entered TheGirlOnABike without spaces before or after it, and apply it before paying. If another offer is already applied, check with Holafly whether the offers can be combined. If the saving still doesn’t appear, ask Holafly support to check your chosen purchase before you complete the order.

Can I use Holafly in Australia and Tasmania?

I did, during a three-month trip, and had fantastic coverage where I travelled. Check the current Australia plan’s coverage details for your own route, especially if you’re heading into remote areas.

Will it work on my iPhone or smartphone?

Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked for use with other networks. Check your exact model and regional version with Holafly before buying. Install it with an internet connection and follow the instructions for your particular plan.

Can I keep WhatsApp and avoid roaming surprises?

You can continue using your existing WhatsApp account over mobile data. Set Holafly as your mobile-data line and check your home SIM’s roaming and automatic data-switching settings, so your home network doesn’t charge you unexpectedly.

Would I use Holafly again?

Yes. For me, the appeal is being able to get on with the trip without constantly worrying about data. My three months in Australia and Tasmania showed me how useful an unlimited plan can be, and the backup connection on layovers has been a welcome extra.
