voadpahone sim card australia info
i have recently purchased an australian sim card in advance for my trip to oz in jan 04 for 12 months, i was wondering how vodaphone compaired with other mobile operators over in oz.
and what like was the coverage around oz, im not going to change it but just needed to know what people have thought of them that used them.
i will be using a payg sim with my phone which will be unlocked before i go

Hi,
I used payg vodafone while in Oz and will use them again when I go back this year. Virgin boast better coverage but the service I got from them wasn't worth the hassle,hanging on for hours trying to get through to customer services etc! Signal can be a bit intermittent in remote areas but generally OK for travelling.
Have fun,
Fi

Following on from this, which are the service providers in Oz? Are there four/five, like in England?

some mobiles don't work over here when a new sim is put in them. My girlfriends phone wouldn't work, that was Ericsson T? (can't remember the number, but it was only a couple of years old), where as mine did (and that was 4 years old).
Coverage around Perth is fairly good, move out the main areas and it's a bit patchy.

3 have being pushing hard lately, they are selling the video phones and seem quite popular, infact they are practically giving the phones away.
The other companies I haven't any experience of, depends what kind of package/deal you want.

Thanks, appreciate that info. I'm expecting the same mobile phone sharks over in Oz as there are in England though!
