Australia Mobile Rates and Services

Since we’re out here for a while it made sense for me to get a local mobile phone, rather than using the expensive roaming service of my home network.
I’ve bought a ‘prepay’ sim from Vodafone and stuck in in my Nokia 7600. Unfortunatly it didn’t work right away as my phone is locked to my home network. With the help of www.officialringtonechart.com/unlocking/ I managed to unlock it for use with Vodafone. Five minutes later and I’m texting and calling away
Here are some websites that helped me decide what network to use:
