So, first you need to remember that in Australia there are three main providers of mobile communications (in order of coverage area): Telstra, Optus, Vodafone.

Fast mobile internet. The phone can be connected to a computer and use the Internet at high speed.

Mobile Internet can be connected as a package to an existing tariff, or you can purchase a SIM card exclusively for accessing the Internet. The cost of Internet packages for Australian telecom operators is so different that it is impossible not to give comparative examples. For $10, Optus offers 300 megabytes, while Amayzim offers one gigabyte. Telstra has a minimum package price of $20 for 250 megabytes, and the maximum that Vodafone can offer prepaid is 350 megabytes for $8.

There is no roaming within Australia. Even if you move around the country, the cost of services will remain unchanged.

A SIM card can be purchased in the official salons of operators or ordered online (delivery within the country, possible to the hotel address), you can also top up your account there.

The Australian SIM card must be activated before use. You can do this by calling the number indicated on the starter pack or on the operator’s website. A SIM card for virtual operators can be purchased at any communication store.

WiFi is not uncommon in Australia. Although with such a vast territory and such a low population density, it is quite logical that the farther inland, the worse the connection. But where there are people, there is Wi-Fi.

In hotels (regardless of level) access to the network is paid. In catering establishments, according to tradition, the Internet is for food.

Internet cafes are available in almost all settlements. On average, the cost of thirty minutes of Internet is five Australian dollars.
