Thanks guys for the reply. I'm using the iPhone 6 with iOS 8.3 which doesn't seem to have an international roaming option, so appears to be on by default (although you can toggle data roaming off) so the sim should pick up an Australian network - assuming there is one for Ortel (also means no app option & current package discount, unfortunately.....).

So the process should be:  buy sim, activate/register online, add credit online, wait for credit to appear either online or via SMS confirmation, buy CERP either online or via SMS, wait for CERP confirmation?

So - remaining qns:  * does the CERP confirmation show online as well, or is that only via SMS?


 * to the reply that bought the CERP for €15, I'm assuming that must have been via the Android app?


 * I've heard that for some reason you can only activate/register a week before arrival in Europe - what's all that about?


 * SMS credit isn't included, but that can be avoided with iMessage, Facebook, Viber & Skype etc messaging.  But I note that VOIP services like Viber & Skype are not available.  Is it known whether the message functions are still usable, or is all functionality of VOIP-enabled services blocked?
