Tourist SIM Card Inquiry

Hi there! I’m heading to Australia in a few weeks for a week-long trip. I’m coming from the USA and I’m looking for recommendations on the best SIM card to get. I’ll be staying primarily in Gold Coast and Brisbane and won’t be venturing into rural areas. I’m also hoping to keep costs down. Thanks in advance for your help!

One thought on “SIM card for tourist”

  1. Hi! Welcome to Australia! For a week-long trip in Gold Coast and Brisbane, I’d recommend looking into some of these options for tourist-friendly SIM cards:

    1. Telstra Prepaid: They have a great network coverage, especially in urban areas. Their “Prepaid International Visitor SIM” offers decent data and talk time for a reasonable price.

    2. Optus Prepaid: Optus also offers a “Tourist SIM” designed for visitors, with good data limits and coverage in cities. It’s usually quite affordable.

    3. Vodafone Prepaid: Vodafone has competitive pricing and offers some great prepaid plans. Check their “International Tourist SIM” for a good deal.

    You can find these SIM cards at the airport or at local convenience stores, and they typically come with a mix of data and talk time. Just remember to bring your phone unlocked, so you won’t face any compatibility issues. Enjoy your trip!
