Australian Pay As You Go Sim Cards Backpacking Travel in Australia

Buy from me and if your based in the EU and or the UK you will pay no coustom fees as all my goods are posted from the UK in the EU. Also your sim will have no very long delays in post as posted from UK very very quick.

If your planing on a trip to Australia or backpacking around Australia and you wish to take your mobile phone then a Australian pay as you go sim card will save you a fortune in in calls and texts.

Some good reasons to get a Australian sim card 1, All Australian sim cards have free incoming calls and texts while in Australian. 2, You will get a Australian mobile number for friends who are backpacking with you. 3, Calls back to your own country will be cheaper. 4, You can add credit by topping up from shops all over Australia.

The best Australian networks are Telstra - Vodafone - Optus.

Telstra , Vodafone , Optus all have 3G data and video photo messaging. Call to any where in the World & text to most places in the World.

You will need a unlocked mobile phone that has GSM 900/1800 bands.

Unlocked - Means the mobile is unlocked to other networks. Say your phone is locked to UK O2 this means you cant use any other sim card then a UK O2 sim card. If your phone is unlocked this means you can use more than one network sim card on your phone. Getting your phone unlocked is easy some times free. Most phones can be unlocked for a small fee. A lot phones come unlocked. Easy way to find out if your phone is unlocked or locked is try a O2 sim card and a Vodafone(U can try this with any networks) sim card in your phone and if thay both work then your phone is unlocked if thay dont then your phone is locked.

Lots of mobiles can be unlocked for free. Just about every mobile phone can be unlocked for a price.

Registering a Australian sim card is easy and can be done online before you goto Australia. If you need any help with this let me know.

If you need any more help on Australian sim cards or backpacking Australia i be very pleased to help as im a backpacker my self from the UK.
