Is WIFI any good? What about the local sim? Compared to international standard, WIFI is a little slow here in Australia but it does the job. Most cafes would give you a password once you order your coffee. For free WIFI head to the nearest library. In regards to the local sim, if you have an unlocked phone that is compatible with Australian GSM technology, then all you will need is a SIM card and a prepaid plan. Having said that, there are other options available too. For example Package deals, data deals, capped inclusions, and contract options. I suggest comparing either one of the following 4 major cell phone carries in Australia and buy what suits you best. 1 Telstra - Australia's leading provider of mobile phones, mobile devices, home phones and broadband internet, 2. Optus - second in the area covered behind Telstra; about 30 personal plans + 8 business plans; 3. Vodaphone - the smaller of the 3 major providers and covers mostly metropolitan and larger regional areas); about 38 plans; and 4. Virgin Mobile - uses the Optus network; about 27 plans. What cell phone/plan is good? Well, that depends on what you are after. If you are like me a social media fanatic then perhaps best to get a data plan but if you are into talking and texting a lot then getting a call and msg plan would suit. There can be many considerations like how much data you might need, what network coverage is available and whether you should enter into a contract or go prepaid. But if you are here for a short amount of time, I wouldn't worry too much, and just get a prepaid plan that you can cancel anytime. However, if you are planning to travel or live in Australia for over 3 months, then spend some time researching beforehand as many options are available. Weigh up prepaid vs entering a contract.
