Australia mobile

Hi

Going to Australia for 3 months and will need to use a mobile (which I already have) for calls and texts to people already in Australia. I won't need to call/text people out of Australia. It looks costly to use my current contract or using other UK companies.

I'm not sure if it is best to buy a new SIM card once over there/prices etc. What are your experiences/knowledge?

Thanks for your help.

    I found the cheapest is Vodafone, you buy the sim for A$2 and a $20 top up. Get them from Woolworths or Radio Shack and receive a 10% discount. There are several options when you register so read the booklet before doing so.
