Your mobile phone will automatically search for an Australian network to log in even if you are on the other side of the world, more than 24 flight hours away from home. It does not care about prices though. You will have to pay attention to that. If you are staying in Australia for a longer period of time you can avoid the expensive roaming costs. Just buy a prepaid card of the local providers. One advantage of doing it that way is that the complete costs for a so called   StartUp-Kit (SIM-card and starting balance) can be used up fully making calls or texting. Starter-Packs of the three big providers, Telstra, Yes (Optus) and Vodafone, can usually be purchased at every post office, in various local stores of the providers or newspaper stands.

Roaming prices for contract customers of German providers  

Purchasing a mobile phone with a starting balance of up to 30 Australian Dollars does definitely pay off if you are staying at least 4 weeks. You do not have contract bindings.  If the purchase requires an address, you can just use a hotel, hostel or camping site address. You will get an Australian mobile phone number upon purchase, under which you can be reached without paying for the incoming calls.  It is not much more expensive for the callers as well. Call-By-Call Auch für diejenigen, die bei Ihnen anrufen wird es nicht teurer.  By using the Call-by-Call system Australian mobile phones can be reached for as little as 10 cent per minute.

Buy prepaid cards for Australia in Germany

If you decide to get a prepaid card for your internship stay in Australia, our partners in Australia offer to buy them there and inform you about your number before your departure. By buying the foreign prepaid card before your trip you can let all your friends and family know about your Australian mobile phone number in advance. The prepaid cards are indeed a bit more expensive compared to buying them locally; however, you can save on texting or calling your family to tell them your new number from Australia.
