Truphone Announces Data Plans for iPad Users in Australia

SYDNEY, September 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Customers can use the same data plan while travelling in 40 countries

Truphone, the London-based global mobile tech disruptor, today announces it is offering data plans for iPad users with Apple SIM in Australia. Truphone data plans give iPad users the ability to instantly get online and stay connected via the Truphone network at home and while travelling in 40 countries without international roaming charges.

As an introductory offer, Truphone is giving customers 100MB of data for free. The try before you buy offer makes it easy for iPad users to get 4G data directly on their iPad with no obligation to purchase.

Truphone promises:

• Flexible Plans: Greater choice around connectivity without being locked into long-term contracts.
• Lower Prices: Cheaper data packages without international roaming charges.
• Convenience: Connect right from your iPad with Apple SIM in just a few taps, eliminating the need to visit retail stores.
• Global Bundle: Use the same data package in 40 countries without the need to swap SIM cards or buy more data when travelling.

The launch coincides with the global rollout of two additional features:

• Auto Renew: Automatically purchase a new data plan when the current one expires or is consumed for uninterrupted 4G connectivity, with in-built overspend protection.
• Top Up Anytime: The freedom to add more data anytime, anywhere without having to wait for your plan to expire. Create an easily-managed queue of data plans to make sure you never run out of data.

Consumers can already purchase Truphone iPad data plans in Poland, Spain, Hong Kong and the UK - with further roll-outs planned to 31 countries by the end of 2017. This builds on Truphone's status as the first global mobile operator.

Apple SIM makes it easy to sign up for a cellular data plan right on your iPad so you can stay connected when you're away from Wi-Fi at home or while travelling. Apple SIM is built into iPad Pro 10.5-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (second generation) and iPad Pro 9.7-inch Wi-Fi + Cellular models, and is compatible with iPad 5th generation, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st generation), iPad mini 4 and iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular models.

Ralph Steffens, CEO, Truphone said: "Truphone Data Plans for iPad users with Apple SIM delivers connectivity on the move and perfectly complements the iPad as the most versatile mobile device ever developed.

"We're excited about the potential Apple SIM has to revolutionise how we provide seamless connectivity for our customers, no matter where they are in the world. Our capability, expertise and global network mean we're well placed to capitalise on this shift as the only truly global player. This launch of data plans on iPad with Apple SIM is another testament to the ability of Truphone to deliver a seamless product globally."
