If I take my sim card out of my iphone when travelling overseas, will I be charged?

I'm off to Thailand tomorrow and have an iPhone 5, locked to Telstra. I'm wanting to take my phone over to use as a camera and then when I get back to my hotel at night upload the photos to instagram using the hotel's Wi-Fi. I was wondering if I take my sim card out and leave it at home (in Australia), is there any way that I will be charged for taking it overseas?

No you wouldn't be charged but you also don't have to remove the SIM. Just put it on Airplane Mode which disables the cell & data radios (& Wi-Fi though that could be put back on afterwards) & use it as you would. When your return turn off AM & go on as normal.

  • Will I get charged for accidentally calling someone overseas? I accidentally called this girl from the Philippines. She picked up right away and i hung up after like 1 maybe 2 seconds. I live in Maryland, USA and she's in the Philippines. We also both have iphones. Will I get charged? I'm worried af right now cause my mom will kill me. I heard its expensive
  • What Happens When You Take The Sim Card Out Of An Iphone 4s? If I Take The Sim Card Out Will I Still Be Able To Use My IPhone? What Features Will Work And What Features Won't? Will My Contacts/Notes/Texts Etc. Be Erased? Can I Still Get On The Internet If I Have Wi-Fi? Can I Still Use Maps On My IPhone?
  • Travelling from US to Europe with an iPhone what can I do about sim cards? I'm travelling to the UK and Paris next month from California and needed to know how I could get my iPhone to work abroad? I'm currently with AT&T but could I get a micro sim in the UK and use this whilst I'm there? I really don't know how it works as I don't want to be charged loads when I get back home and wanted to find a cheap way to make phone calls and texts whilst I'm in the UK and Paris.
  • Should I take my sim card out before I sell my iphone? I just bought out my contract from my phone carrier and got the phone unlocked, and now I want to sell it. So should I take the sim card out when I sell it or leave it in?
