Phone Cards

Getting an Australian phone line is one of the first things you should do, as some documents/applications will require an Aussie number (e.g. opening a bank account). There’s a variety of packages, and we recommend looking at any current promotions to get the best deals. 

You can get a phone card from:

​

  1. Telstra

  2. Vodafone

  3. Optus

  4. Coles Mobile (Runs on Optus network)

  1. Belong 

  2. Aussie Broadband.

  3. SpinTel.

  4. TPG.

  5. Superloop.

  7. Optus.
